Fantastic Hardware, Suboptimal Software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying this device is VERY NEW in comparison to other handhelds. I have hope after seeing Lenovo's activity and updates that this will temporarily be king handheld until more efficient APUs + higher density memory becomes the standard. If Lenovo can fine tune the software (BIOS + everything on windows) I have no doubts that this will be a fantastic handheld.

Best gaming handheld ever!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this machine! I have completely converted over to gaming on my Go. I have physical issues that force me to lay down for extended periods of time so it’s perfect. I have never had any issues with it!

Not bad but wouldn't recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My laptop died and got this because it was on sale. The device performs like a low tier gaming laptop and is on the heavy side. Runs games pretty well at 60fps but that's about it. Comes with extra gimmicks that you'll never really use. Decent storage space. If you're going for portable gaming get an Asus ROG Ally.

It's a Win(dows)nner!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sleek and attractive, but the real value is under the hood. Surprisingly robust as a portable gaming system, with an ease-of-use that comes courtesy of the Windows OS (either a strength or a detriment when compared to the Steam Deck, depending on your preferences). I'm using it largely for indie games, as I can't bear the thought of playing Elden Ring on such a small screen (and it's large by handheld standards!), but with some tweaks and know-how this little powerhouse can handle your heftier titles as well. With the addition of Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I've also used it essentially as a laptop for those times when I need to type up a document or do some research on the internet when I have no access to my desktop (or when I can't be bothered to walk up the stairs to get to it, I must admit). A very minor frustration is that the case that it comes with does not have room for its own adapter/cable, so I recommend getting an additional case as well as a power bank; additional accessories I purchased were a screen protector and grips, as the Lenovo can get a bit slick if your hands get sweaty during some intense gameplay!

Decent device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good little device with a big screen. Its natively in portrait mode unfortunately which makes hooking it up to a tv or monitor annoying. However this is not crippling and can be fixed with some messing around. Over all not bad, runs the games i want on the go.

Needs some work
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the Legion Go, but its true that the software is half baked and this needs more time. I'm sure this device will be heavily supported and optimized and games will also get optimized for this device, but as it stands right now, needs some work. Hardware wise hits all the right things, with the exception of a fingerprint reader. Overall think this will get to 5 stars over time.

How much free time do you have
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Legion go proves itself to take up most of your free time. Sadly, it does this, not with allowing you to game, but takes it up with asking you to tinker to make it work. Sound: sound is not optimized very well you will quickly find yourself needing to make adjustments you get options such as downloading third-party apps or going on YouTube and figuring out how to best use what’s on the device. Graphics: this is the biggest one for me I wasn’t aware and I did not realize that Lenovo hasn’t had a update on its graphics driver in eight months thus many games coming out now such as Black Ops 6 will constantly tell you to update your video driver, and no matter how many times you do it using the Lenovo system you will find that they do not have up-to-date drivers meaning the game will always run poorly. If if you want it to run better, there’s an option called “side loading“. Basically you’re deleting what Lenovo offers, preventing windows from updating, and then downloading directly from AMD, which could potentially create issues. The truth is, I could write much much more, but I would be giving the Legion go even more of my free time not gaming at the cost of a PS five I would’ve assumed at the minimum that this would be able to run games as well when I put on dead space sadly that game ran terribly. As a father, I do not have a lot of free time and I’m sure you’re over here a bunch of reviews about if you just have the time to optimize the system. It is amazing. I won’t lie. The screen is absolutely beautiful however, I do not have enough free time to tinker for hours on in to attempt to make a game to work when I can buy an ally X, steam deck, etc. That would play games better and quicker. Finally, the battery life is terrible and making adjustments to that again. If you have the time to tinker, I’m sure you can make it work but again as someone who doesn’t have a lot of free time it’s asking too much of me when all I want to do is turn it on and play. So again, if you have free time, and you have real great knowledge of windows, I’m sure you can make this system amazing and run super well, but if you’re much like me where you work and have children a very limited free time this system is not designed for you

Amazing Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the Lenovo go they are still working out the software kinks but it is getting better day by day in the beginning, I was afraid to use it because it was so expensive but now I can’t put it down. It is a very powerful machine I know it’s on the pricier side but it is worth it for the quality.

Legion Go > Ally > Deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Legion Go is amazing. Out of the box experience is better then the Ally's original amount of box experience. Lenovo is also being very transparent with their update path and plan forward. The legion go is getting the support it needs to surpass the Ally 100%. Also having 2 usb-4 slots is a game changer. Mine docks up to EGPU 4070 when at home and it smashes everything. On to go it also performs extremely well. My only complaint (shared across all these hand helds) is that they are limited to 16gb of ram and since the GPU pulls the ram you never see that type of usable ram for the device itself. I would have happily paid 200 dollars more for the same device with out of box 32gb of ram. Then follow that up with vram options in bios all the way to 10 or 12gb. It would turn this machine into a powerful monster.

Legion GO running Steam OS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I am very happy with the deal recieved on this fabulous device! I turned my Legion into a Steamdeck with 1tb ssd. A little stronger than my Steamdeck lcd. I plan to use this as my defacto Game setup for a while until some more powerful but affordable improvements become availble. I also makes for a good linux pc.
