    I got mine around the launch of the Handheld, After the initial few weeks, They updated the graphics drivers and all the bugs I had notices went away. The screen is a beautiful 1440p Ultra HD screen with up to 144Hz refresh rates. It has a great fan and I havent had any trouble with the thermals or SD card slot. I like all of the control customization it offers, and having easy access to change how many watts you use is really handy.

    This is a great handheld system. The screen is just the right size and it's colors are crisp and very clear. Adjusting the VRAM to 4GB really helped and soon 6GB will be the sweet spot. Using 8GB just takes too much away from the OS. I play everything on this from Steam, xBox Gamepass and Emulation from emu deck. You can also hook up a dock and use it as a desk top with Keyboard / mouse and monitor. The detachable controllers are OK but I don't use them much. I guess I'll use them more when I'm traveling. These systems are just going to get better over time. I did upgrade the ssd to 1TB and I also use a 1TB MicroSD card which works great. You will not be disappointed with this system.

    I have a steam deck and for short while the ROG Ally. The GO is a good gaming machine for the price need more software updates to correct some of the issues but work as intended. Dead zone in joy stick is my best complaint followed by software. Speaker are ok the steam deck and Ally perform better. The screen is the best thing of the device.... Almost perfect but is portrait and inverted. Some videos games don't work on it (mainly older ports). If you like a big screen the GO is a good choice. If portability is your goal the Ally and a more polish and console like experience (beater screen now with the OLED) the steam deck is the way (also less powerful)

    Good first iteration for a portable device with a large screen. Coming from a steam deck oled it didn’t feel like much of an upgrade but this could be a great alternative for someone looking for their first portable device. Pros: Screen size Some games only work on windows Fast low latency WiFi Cons Horrible speakers Not so comfortable to hold LED screen Windows

    Theres so much about the Legion Go to like: -Latest hardware with capabilities to play AAA games over 30 FPS. -Switch like removable joysticks. -Great kickstand. -FPS mode, not quite for FPS gaming, but really for productivity. -Great looking screen. Cons: Legion Space. Props to the Lenovo team for their continued transparency and their listening to the users to improve the quality and features of Legion Space, but as it is right now, it makes the Go unusuable. This is only saved by using 3rd party softwares. Big shoutout to the team at Handheld Companion. I have zero doubts that Lenovo will make the software good, but until then, it really stunts the Go.

    With owning a switch, steam deck and research done on msi products, this type of unit checks a ton of boxes in a honest search for true gaming handheld. This can be a computer for light users at its core and actually attemps to answer the FPS problem with games that typcially (not always) demand precise mouse movement. Excellent unit!!

    Some issues

    Runs games great but it's extremely loud even on a low wattage. The device only has 1 fan to cool the entire thing and sounds like a jet engine while playing games. There's a sharp whistle/whine that is very distracting. The speaker quality is poor compared to the Rog Ally. I loved the detachable controllers and kickstand, but I ultimately returned it because of the weight and fan sound.

    The best Windows based handheld you can buy, today. The ROG Ally has similar specs, but this screen is undeniable. Whether you choose to use the FPS joystick or not, this thing is impressive. Find the latest updates, remove the Windows bloat, find the beta firmware, tweak your settings, supress the legion launch screen in go with with PlayNite, the cusomization is endless (duh, it’s windows). SteamDeck and SteamOS will always be a solid platform, but personally the screen size and power was just lacking a little. The Legion Go was the answer I didn’t know I was looking for. Oh, and Fortnite.

    Just switched from the steam deck to this and I love it! It’s a little tricky if you’re going into it with no pc experience, but it’s worth it. An incredible system! I got it as open box from Best Buy and it was in perfect condition! Highly recommend the Legion go and Best Buy!

    If you wanted to play PC games without being anchored to your desktop, I recommend this console. It does require tinkering due to Windows OS and strange default settings. If you can see past the headaches of Windows 11, and get past the initial setup woes, it is a good purchase that I recommend if on sale for under 700. Otherwise, I suggest waiting for future iterations that have a better chipset. Most of the competitors at time of writing have a similar processor. If you do purchase this, i suggest having a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to make setup easier.
