Love the legion go. My friend bought the rog ally and i think i prefer the legion better. The rog maybe more user friendly but it doesnt compare to the legion go. I use my legion go as my pc plus the screen is huge.
I would recommend this to a friend

I had the Ally Rog Z1 Extreme and it’s a great device, but the 7” screen really was too small for my eyes. This is perfect. screen is bright handles games really well. You gotta tweak the settings and make sure you update it but it plays everything nicely. I installed the battery upgrade for $60 bucks. Battery went from 1 hour to 3-6 hours. Love the detachable controllers and upgraded the SSD TO A 2TB

First time owning one, I love it!
It’s a little heavy but worth the investment if it’s something you’re interested in. I work full time and I am a full time student, have two boys and this gives me time to game when I’m chillin in bed or relaxing for a bit on the couch. The cons are that it overheats sometimes but that’s when I lay it down but it automatically shuts off to protect the battery. The picture quality is amazing it’s literally a tiny pc. I definitely recommend.

This device is amazing. Good for current games. I put an emulator on it for snes and other games. Works great. Steam works great also. I bought something that would make the handles work as a controller. It also charges them. Was cheap on amazon.

Works great other make sure to get the BestBuy Total Membership for warranty. The 30W TDP works great for gaming when plugged in and runs games on 1080p FSR on low quality. The screen and controls work great.

I love this device. I have been using it constantly since I got it. I use it for email, videos, and of course gaming. It's not going to play the newest triple a games at high settings but that's OK. I can play a ton of games.

From playing video games, to searching the web, to playing Modded GTA V (Five M) to DJing a party off of it, this little devices is so handy for all ypur needs on the go. Way better than having to lug a laptop and power brick around. This device fits in your bag and will have you going in seconds after you start up. I feel like i always have a pc setup on me when I travel with this thing. I play a variety of games too. (GTA V, Fortnite, Call Of Duty, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, Apex Legends, Need For Speed Unbound, Forza Motorsport & Horizon 5)

Battery life could be better, and Windows is a terrible OS on the system. However, delivers solid gaming performance, for the price, especially if you get it on sale.

Hey Aeros,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!
We are glad to read that the Legion Go performs great for you. If you'd like to improve 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).
Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions or need assistance.
Best, Lenovo

I love the Legion go screen, but the Z1 Extreme GPU cannot render games on the native screen resolution, and you have to play around with settings to make games works. When u get games running it’s a blast. The fan it get crazy loud, and speakers are not that great because they are not front facing you. The Legion Go thrives with Steam OS. It becomes a better machine.

Excellent product. I'd like to be very clear about what kind of user you're targeting: PC gamers who want a portable experience. If you come from the console world (Switch, Steam Deck) I don't recommend it, since you have to deal with configurations, performances, TDP, etc. I use it exclusively for Playstation games that came out on PC, since I couldn't play them on Switch or Xbox. I'm very happy with the team. Cons: it lacks a bit of optimization in the Legion Space (the application is slow and bad).

Absolutely love it. Did a clean install of Bazzite SteamOS and loving the compatibility with it. Mostly play single player games but extremely impressed with performance regardless and don’t have to downscale almost all of the time. Display is BEAUTIFUL. No complaints or issues so far.

Sold my original Ally X Extreme to get this. It's ok since to recent updates but a few things might have me return it. The speakers SUCKS, Straight out the box the left speaker is cracking at like 39% vol. The side and weight is a little too much. I want something like the Ayaneo 2S. And I want 16gig memory.

The console is more computer than portable as the size of the device is a little heavy after a few minutes of gaming. Battery life is 20min better than the Ally but I still recommend to be close to an AC adapter. Touch screen is less responsive than Ally or Steam Deck. Removable controllers is more of a gimmick than a useful feature.
