Posted .Hi LittleCocoCat, thanks for choosing Lenovo! Regarding the battery life, depending on the demand of the game you're playing, by pressing the Legion R button to launch the quick menu, you can switch to lower power mode to save battery. In the menu, under the performance tab, users can toggle thermal modes and prioritize battery life by using the default mode or creating a custom thermal mode should you not be satisfied with the 3 presets. These adjustments can also be made by going into Legion Space > Settings (Legion Space can be launched quickly by pressing the Legion L button (Legion Logo above the button). We are glad to hear that your Legion Go has been great overall, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this perspective with us.

Overall nice handheld gaming device to go!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to Rog ally, this big screen for a handheld gaming console is awesome, very happy about that. The battery is in a reasonable range, I am not it can last long time if playing AAA game, stimulator game can last relatively long time on battery.

Not as good as i hoped
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of bugs right out the box, even with all the updates, the D-pad is really bad, if you plan on playing fighting games dont! It will not work. And the analog sticks have this bad dead zone. You cant correct it in settings, this is bad for fps shooters. Maybe in a few months after some major updates will some of the issues be ironed out. Its a no go for me i love fighting games and this does not cut it.. Some good things are one the screen is beautiful amazing colors.. um think thats about it lol. But yeah the rog or steam deck would be better options.

Pretty Alright
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty decent. Love most things about it except the fact that I have to jump through hoops to update my graphic driver, and I'm pretty sure I got a defective unit. I'm not sure if you'd call it stick drift but whenever I do a 360 turn with my character to the bottom left, either the character meeles or fires a weapon without activating r3 press or r2. Aside from that, better battery life than my Asus Rog but still battery tech is no where near perfect. The screen did is great though id recommend running at 1920x1200 vs the recommended 2560x1600 in most games. Burnout paradise remastered handeled 1600 like a champ though. Not sure what I'll do, considering returning and ordering another.

Brick Product + Horrible BestBuy service
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really, really felt excited for the Legion Go. Unfortunately, the product is a disappointment. Within 24hrs of receiving the handheld, I had a number of issues with the devices, and BestBuy as expected, failed to deliver any meaningful support. In addition, the Lenovo "ultimate" support that comes with the product cannot be used as BB was the point of purchase. My experience: 1) Horrible BB Service: a) Delayed delivery and timing were completely off. Received item 3 days after original committed day. b) BB cannot troubleshoot and fix issues; only solution offered is mailing the product back/returning @ the store prior to the replacement can be shipped. 7 days after that product is received, a replacement will be delivered. 2) Brick Product: a) Battery issues: i) The Legion Go cannot be charged with a high-end battery pack such as GoalZero Sherpa (current doesn't flow in either Lenovo port with any possible USB C type cable) ii) The Legion Go battery completely crashes from 100% fully charged to 0% fully dead iii) Battery is incredibly slow to start b) Fan is extremely loud. I have Steam Deck, ASUS Rogue Ally, none of them come close to this noice level c) Lenovo software/Hardware integration is off i) When connected to an external monitor the Legion Go software does not adjust its resolution and the user is unable to navigate the screen ii) Basic games are crashing and unable to work on the Legion Go (Ex.: Governors of Poker 3 errors out) iii) Simple hardware integrations are off (Ex.: FPS controllers do not function to navigate the system if there is an external Bluetooth mouse connected) The ONLY silver lining that makes this brick better than STEAM or ASUS (which nonetheless defeats the purpose of a handheld) ---> eGPU works on the system via the USB-C 4/Thunderbolt 3 ports

Power portable PC on par or better than rog ally. It is a little heavy and the controller portion could be. A little more comfortable. Over all recommend for dads around the world.

Large screen is awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device for a gamer on the go. Keep in mind it’s not a game console and definitely takes some tinkering to get games running great. Can’t say enough about the large screen. So great

Better than ROG ally.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've also owned a ROG ally. Improves on ROG ally with additional USB port, larger screen, and a WORKING SD card reader. SD card reader on the ROG ally died after a month. Legion Space software is ok but hopefully they will improve it over time.

Best handheld out so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Of course everything is an opinion but i think this company is the one i could trust most, with a little powerhouse and controllers that fit my hand. I'd say its pretty good
