Customer Ratings & Reviews

Rating: 4/5 The Lenovo Legion Go is a powerful gaming handheld that offers an immersive experience with its 8.8” WQXGA display and smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and 16GB of RAM provide excellent performance for most games, and the 512GB SSD gives plenty of storage. However, there are a few drawbacks. The battery life could be better—during intense gaming sessions, it drains quicker than expected. Performance-wise, while most games run well, some AAA titles push the system to its limits, and you’ll notice occasional stutters. The user interface is also a bit buggy and could use some refinement. I ran into issues with responsiveness and navigation at times. Overall, it’s a great device for gaming on the go, but there’s room for improvement in battery and UI polish.

* Amazing Display * Steam Deck is still the comfort King in handhelds (the shape of the bottom edges of the Legion Go can "dig" into the palms of your hands if you hold too tightly.) * Speakers aren't the best * Controllers feel a bit cheap and hollow when detached * Legion Space NEEDS a lot of refinement * Battery life is a touch better when playing demanding games * Windows 11 is Windows 11 (good and bad) * MicroSD card reader works! * Fan noise can bother some people * Cooling is very good * Easily upgradeable SSD * Button placement of start/pause is just plain stupid * Not as heavy as I imagined (Deck inside Killswitch case "feels" heavier) * FPS Mode is just too complicated and gimmicky to me (YMMV) * Great value (Lenovo packed it well with nice case and SSD)

This handheld is the must purchase for every single person at this point. The console has the capacity to emulate majority of games with wonderful FPS. The weight and form is perfect for you to spend hours and hours on it without feeling tired. Honestly I can say without any doubt that it could replace my Xbox or ps5 including my gaming laptop at most. I can do homework’s , pay bills and even watch my favorite shows. I cannot wait for the future of Lenovo . 10/10

Screen size is awesome, big and vibrant!! The kickstand on the back is very convenient. The battery life is not great and it takes time to get it setup just right for gaming. I’m not to computer savvy so it was frustrating at first but YouTube videos help tremendously. Ergonomics, this thing is HUGE!! It has a lot of buttons and you can remove the controllers but that’s not my thing. The weight didn’t bother me at all. Overall very fun to play!!

10/10 I absolutely love this. One of if not my best purchase, If you wanna play your PC games on the go this is perfect don't get me wrong, the battery life is pretty bad but you can plug and play it, or even dock it and use the detachable controllers separately. (I am still yet to find out how much battery they have, but it'll last you at least a day)

Honestly an excellent handheld gaming computer. Awesome screen, decent enough controllers, okay enough sound. The biggest problem is Windows, but that can be remedied by installing something like Bazzite or hopefully SteamOS happens. Windows just isn't meant for this kinda form factor, despite Lenovo trying to shoehorn it into working with their software.

This is a decently powerful PC with removable controllers like a switch. The mouse mode on the right stick works flawlessly. The unit is powerful enough to run AAA games without issues. Battery life and storage could be better. In my opinion still better than a steam deck.

Good but not great! the screen size is incredible however the lack of vrr i noticed quite a lot of hitching between frame drops in games such as destiny 2 and overwatch 2. using vsync helps but increases latency. I still love the giant screen compared to others like the steamdeck and ally. The biggest issue currently is the software, its garbage utter garbage! Its unresponive, it crashes, its clunky, its not user friendly and games are contastly crashing with no new updates for the system right now. the fps mode is cool but it needs replacement sliders for the mouse and it scratches a lot of the time on the edge of the adpater mold for the controller. overall cool but needs more going for it. also, one last thing is the dpad is utter trash. good range for left ot right but up and down is less responsive and the clips for taking the controllers on and off feel like your breaking the controllers.

This device is great. It’s a big handheld, screen is great, and it could turn into a mini tablet, so very versatile. However the vibration motors are very bad. When doing certaint things, such as shooting a shotgun in a game, the motors make a high pitched vibration sound. Very annoying. The controllers feel very hollow as well, when taken off the legion go. The audio is very bad as well. Top firing speakers, they should have been in the front. Some games are playable, but others are unbearable. The frequency feels like it’s piercing your eardrums. The device can also get very loud when using the max power usage. 25/30 watts will not be suitable for quit environments. 20 and below those is manageable. I really liked the device but one of the biggest draw backs is lack of compatibility with old games. My old Star Wars games wouldn’t open, neither would my gta trilogy. I’m sure with resolutions mods on gta, it would have worked but I didn’t want to do that. This may have to do with the display being made for portrait view and not landscape. It’s a good device but I’d say get it around Black Friday sales, when the device is $550 or lower. Then is the device worth it. At its MSRP, it’s not.

So far I love everything about the Legion go except for the size which ironically is why I bought it in the first place. It’s still portable, but it is a lot to carry around so that that’s something to keep in mind.

It started off rough, but with every uldate it becomes better and better. The battery sucks, the screen is great, speakers are kinda questionable and have a werid tone, but the device is solid, and it plays what i want it to play.

I was in a market for a windows based mobile gaming console. There were ones from other companies but i decide to go with legion go because of the big screen, detached controllers, and the price was 400. Better value than others This gaming device does what i wanted to do. Cons: much heavier than a switch by big margin. Overall, i like the legion go and got it when it was on sale.

The device creates a lot of heat and noise. Feels more like a shrunk down gaming PC rather than an actual handheld PC. The display is beautiful, but the device is underpowered to drive it at full resolution even for the simplest of games. It shows promise but it needs more time in the oven.

At first I was skeptical about handheld gaming consoles, but after using this legion go for a few months I absolutely love it! For the games I play this is perfect (Schedule 1 , COD, Day Z, and Minecraft) depending on how you configure your settings you can get really great FPS out of this small device. At home I would pair with an external monitor with keyboard & mouse and made it even better. Only issue for me was the fan noise and how quickly this thing overheats. Which is understandable for the size of this device and how much it’s trying to compute on certain titles / programs. I definitely recommend buying one open box to get the most bang for your buck on the Legion Go though.

I've had the privilege of having both Legion Go and Ally X handheld systems. Amongst my gaming buddies, they have opted for the Ally X -- the sound is superb and immersive, the controls just contours perfectly into your hands, the long battery life + not so humongous form factor is practical when it comes to portability. The Ally X is a true hardcore gamer's first choice. But..... if you are like me where you truly appreciate the 8.8" and 2560x1600 resolution, then the LeGO is for you. The issue for me is, once I've played on the LeGO, the 1080p rez on Ally X made me wanting more. I kept on going back to my LeGO (I just couldn't enjoy the graphics of the AllyX's 1080p). So ultimately, I just returned my AllyX and kept my LeGO. So for traveling to an AirBnB or Hotel, the LeGO was my weapon of choice. But for the airport or the park, I just bring my OLED Switch. In the end, to each their own. I'm aware that my opinion is the minority and 90% will opt for AllyX (serious hardcore gamers), but for a casual gamer like me, it's a win / win -- LeGO (while plugged in) and Switch (while on the go).

I bought the Go the day it was released. I then spent the next week and a half battling with the half-baked software, frequent system freezing (Windows would become non-responsive and the only way to restart was a hard reset), loud fans that ran no matter the power setting or whether I was trying to game or just leaving the device idle, not to mention trying to Jedi mind trick myself into not hearing the high pitched coil whine-like wine from the fans, and a battery that wouldn't last more than 1.5 hours when playing older titles and retro games (less the one time I tried NieR: Automata). Factory reseting the device didn't help. If you are planning on buying this, some advice: 1) seriously consider an OLED Steamdeck for less $$ and far better stability: 2) Yes, thr detachable controllers are cool on paper but in real world use they're difficult to detach, can get wobbly after about a week of detaching/reattaching, and it is difficult to get used to hold the device with your fingers always resting on buttons; 3) don't plan to have a good graphics experience if you connect this to an external display or, in my case, a pair of xreal air AR glasses - in order to get modern games running, you have to turn down almost every quality setting to get them to look okay on the 800p built-in display but once you see them on a larger screen it is not a quality graphics experience; 4) if you are dead set on buying this anyway, maybe wait a little while for Lenovo to update the BIOS and software and try to fix their Legion Space games launcher -- you will have a better experience than I did and, as an added bonus, by waiting you'll probably be able to buy an open box unit from Best Buy.

I owned both Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Legion Go despite having weaker speakers and a little bit noisy fan but I found it to be superior to both my devices due to its detachable and very accurate controllers + docked mode + Track Pad and FPS mode which is a game changer. while travelling I have it hooked up to my VR glassess and I was productive the whole flight and when off in hotel playing my favorite games. Very nice product!

Bought to put Steam OS on. Not as efficient as the Steam Deck but had the extra power I needed to properly play Expedition 33. Definitely needs a power bank to get decent play time out of it at 20 watts.

The Legion Go surpassed all my expectations, this thing is powerful and a lot of fun. I was in the market for a small laptop that I could also game with on the go since I travel often. I was looking at the ASUS Rog Ally but once I saw the huge screen on the Legion Go I was set. Specs wise the 2 are identical except for the 8.8in screen on the legion. Lenovo has a lot of support for this thing and all the updates have made this machine simple the best. When the manufacturers support their customers and listen to request, its easy to put your faith on that Brand. Lenovo knocked it out of the park.

I wanted to love it. Big beautiful screen, decent battery, clean looking. Unfortunately I returned it. It’s bulky, ergonomics aren’t great for me, lack of VRR. The software is very clunky and slow. I love Lenovo products but in my honest opinion I’d look towards either the ROG Ally or steamdeck on this one.
