Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would have gave this device at 3.5 out of 5 if I could. But since I can't I'll just round up to the nearest ten. The issue isn't necessarily the functionality or the features of the device. As a matter of fact, they make this device stand above its other recent and relevant competition. From playing it as the handheld it was desinged as, to using it as a a strong Windows tablet, only surpassed by the Asus Flow Z13 (2022-2023), the Go trys to incorporate itself a wide range of users While a little bit overkill and lacking VRR, the screen is a 2k IPS with great SRGB coverage at 144MHz. I do want to mention that I can not detected any screen tearing when not using vsync on any game I've played so far on the Go. I think that's because of the native and none obtainable 144 frames per second portrait LCD. The detachable controllers have a proprietary connection that doesn't need Bluetooth on to use wirelessly with the Go but it can be connected through Bluetooth so it can be used on other devices like your gaming PC or cellphone. . The battery last for well over 4 hours when detached. The left controller not only has a single bevied touchpad similar to the putrudding dual pads found on the Steam Deck, but it also has the optional built in mouse featrue Lenovo calls FPS mode. Not to mention hall effect analog controls and a PD 65w fast changing USB4 Type-c. The issue arrises from the lackluster Lenovo software, and delayed hardware drivers. The is magnified by Windows 11's distain for all PCs that come with built-in controllers. Without going into too much more details. Ill just mention that if you're a fan of first or third person shooters and you dont attention to use the FPS mode, I'd wait til the end of January before picking one. That gives Lenovo time to improve a basic necessity like the ability to calabrate the analog sticks or use truly custome TDP settings under 25 watts. Few other problems stand out like the detach and retach functions for the controls feeling extremely awkward and forceful. The systems Up-firing speakers requiring custom equalizer settings to be barable and the sub 3-hour battery life on most if not all triple-a titles. Overall,the extras added to this package makes it the most versatile yet hardest handheld yet. To be clear, everything but the sound will improve over time... 3.5 out of 5!

The Lenovo Legion Go is a compelling choice for handheld gaming, especially if you want Windows flexibility, a large high-refresh display, and detachable controllers. The battery life is underwhelming, often lasting 2–4 hours depending on settings. It includes a microSD card slot to expand storage beyond its SSD, a useful feature given the large size of modern game files.

I was a little worried about performance meeting the gorgeous 8.8 IPS display, but AMD/Lenovo have done an incredible job with integer scaling and making it work very well. It's very much a high powered tablet, gaming machine, productivity work horse. I think the Truestrike controllers are very comfy, they use hall effect joysticks and they are very thought out overall. The only place the device is lacking is the same place most of these devices are and that's the Legion Space software. Updates have been great it seems and more are coming, but on Windows you have so many tools at hand so it's not a huge ordeal. It's rocking the same Z1 Extreme chipset the Rog Ally is a little bit faster memory. None of these devices are perfect, but I'm really digging this, overall windows and the battery life hold it back the most.

My wife and I went with the legion for the removalable controllers and bigger screen and we definitely do not regret our decision. Its played all our games perfectly. Only draw back is the battery life is short when its in performance mode but thats not a big deal for us.

Really, it's a high-powered Windows tablet with (for a lack of a better word) joycons. I chose this over the Rog for the larger screen (easier to see), dual USB C and faster ram. If you have ever used a Windows tablet or PC with touch controls (in tablet mode), then you will know what to expect. For a gaming handheld it does great. Higher frames than I expected. The SD card reader or the SD card I picked up isn't fast enough for AAA titles (it just takes forever to load), but moderate or emulators will work fine. Battery life is around 2 hours and charges fast. Game pass cloud gaming works like a champ. All and all its a gread device would recommend it to anyone looking for something portable. Oh and the case is pretty good too!

Pros: great screen, runs windows instead of Linux for max compatibility. Great performance for the size and portability. Has 2 USB C ports (1 top, 1 bottom). Cons: Battery only lasts a couple of hours, Controller works but layout takes get used to compared to controllers. No slow charge, charging requires specific wattage to start charging.

Revolutionary! Snagged this Legion Go from Best Buy, and it's the handheld king for serious gamers craving big-screen power. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme cranks AAA titles like Starfield or Baldur's Gate 3 at epic settings—144Hz WQXGA (2560x1600) display delivers razor-sharp visuals, buttery frames, and Dolby Vision HDR that immerses you completely. With 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, it's a multitasking monster: seamless Steam Deck vibes but bigger and bolder, plus detachable controllers for FPS precision or couch co-op. Windows 11 shines for easy modding and Xbox Game Pass integration, and the 49.2Wh battery (up to 2 hours gaming, 8+ for lighter use) keeps sessions rolling—includes a comfy carry case too.Best Buy was stellar: flash sale pricing, free same-day pickup, and their gaming squad tuned FPS settings in-store. Geek Squad warranty adds zero worries, plus stacked My Best Buy rewards. If handheld heaven calls, charge to Best Buy for this Lenovo beast—massive, mighty, mesmerizing. Praying this review clinches the prize! Epic win, Legion Go and Best Buy!

Overall, a very good device with a few minor quirks. Fortunately, all of the quirks are software related and Lenovo has been working overtime to patch and fix the issues. The hardware is excellent. The screen is big and bright. So far, this handheld has been able to play everything I have thrown at it. The out of the box experience is more like a laptop. The typical Windows login and updates cycle, so expect it to take a while before you'll be able to play on it. The Steam Deck was much quicker from start to play fresh from out of the box. A lot of the quirks that were a problem initially are rapidly being fixed, so be sure to update the BIOS and Legion Space once Windows updates finish. The biggest issue (imho) was joystick deadzones being way too high for joysticks that use hall effect sensors. The latest version of Legion Space now allows you to adjust it. The only downside to this product that cannot be fixed with BIOS and software updates is that the screen isn't variable refresh rate. However, to be fair, I haven't noticed any issues with it. Also, some people may struggle with the handheld's size and weight but it doesn't seem to an issue for someone of average size. Overall an amazing handheld at this price point. It has a bigger screen than its competitors and detachable controllers! It's closest competitor is the ASUS ROG ALLY and it trumps the ALLY in almost all areas. Bigger screen, detachable controllers, a built in kickstand, and having a touch pad make it the best and most powerful mainstream handheld available. If you are in the market for a handheld gaming pc, this is one to get.

It works really well. It’s super convenient to bring around with you when you want to just sit down somewhere else or play in bed. Super easy to connect to a tv. The graphics and performance is really good. The fan is a little loud when on full but you’ve got to expect that for a handheld and I wear headphones when I’m playing so it doesn’t bother me. But it’s pretty easy to navigate once you know where everything is.

I really like this product, I use it primarly for gamming. My only negatives about this product is that it gets over heared fast and the battery doesnt last very long. But for what it is, a handheld gaming device with good graphics I recommend

This one is bulkier compared to other handheldss but superb performance Screen is very sharp. I love that you can just remove the controllers from the body. Overall, great job producing this monster gaming handheld

This handheld is comprised of excellent hardware, though software leaves something to be desired. If you are a PC gamer this is an easy transition. It might be a bit more unnatural for console gamers, as games require tweaking and troubleshooting to get ideal performance. Overall, I am very happy with this device and I'm looking forward to the software improvements Lenovo has planned. Pros: - detachable controllers add a lot of versatility - screen is big and looks great - the hinge feels solid and functions well - windows runs very well and facilitates access to a ton of games - games run at impressive quality for such a small device Cons: - games require a lot of in game and OS adjustments if you want to optimize - Lenovo custom software is a work in progress. You can't remap keys, the joysticks have large deadzone, gyroscope isn't working yet - carrying case doesn't fit the charger - the bottom edges of the controllers are uncomfortable on my palms (can be fixed by adjusting your hand grip)

I’ve had the legion go for about 6 months and it has been perfect for play on the go and at home. The screen is massive with great controllers. Only downside for me is the fan noise but it makes up for it in the power that it produces.

Everyone jumped on the handheld pc bandwagon once the steam deck made its debut a console like experience with a pc library. This is Lenovo’s windows based version. Which they did a fantastic job with overall on there first attempt. Biggest complaints I have is Lenovo’s atrocious driver software support can take forever from them to put out firmware and driver updates. My second complaint is the joysticks feeling like the have little to no resistance. Which can be resolved by installing aftermarket joysticks but for average user who may not be tech savvy or not willing to take the risk of breaking there controller that’s a deal breaker. Lots of tinker has to be done in order to get games software or even applications to run properly at decent frame rates without proper driver and firmware support. Meaning at a minimum you should see driver and or firmware updates every couple months. The last official driver update took roughly 8 or more months to come out hopefully they will do better with the go 2 only time will tell. Overall was happy and enjoy using the handheld specifically being able to detach the controllers and sit the display on my lap or table and play. It is quite the versatile handle compared to others on the market and well built if you can overlook the short comings.

The Lenovo Legion Go is a powerful handheld PC gaming console. It's similar to the Steam Deck (which I also own) but bigger in every way, both good and bad. The highlight of the Legion Go is the massive 8" touch screen with very high pixel count and buttery smooth 165 hs refresh rate. Actually the resolution is so high you really should dial it down to 1200p for most games. It has a faster AMD CPU/GPU combo as well, plays most games at around 15 percent higher frame rates. A nice feature is it has two USB-C ports. In fact it's got USB-C 4 so I can plug it into my external GPU when playing at home. The detachable controllers are a nice touch as well. Maybe my favorite thing about it is that it runs actual Windows 11, which means I can use more than just my Steam Library of gamrs. The only issue I have with the Go is it's size and weight. It's heavy and the grip of the controllers after a while start to irritate me. It also sucks down power fast. So bring your charger. Still, it's an impressive feat of engineering, like carrying around a portable Xbox One with you wherever you go.

I spent about a year trying to figure out which handheld I wanted found on sale had to grab it. I know everyone’s different as far as what you’ll be looking for in one, but this was perfect for me.I love it!! Huge screen, super great graphics. Down side battery go’s quick.

Very great product from Lenovo makes other handhelds feel like toys. Beautiful screen and the detachable controllers are a great plus. Its probably the most versatile handheld pc you can get. Minor annoyances are software related and windows. If you good at navigating windows and messing arou d with software to tweak this thing to perfection than its the handheld for you.

Worked great screen was nice took a little getting use to the controls. Can run most games with great graphics, only con is the weight can't play for very long due to that fact. But it does have stand as well helps to watch movies. it's basically just a gaming pc/iPad because there's no keyboard so you type everything in with your hands.

I've spent alot of time looking at reviews, opinions, and the overall landscape of the PC handheld market before I jumped in wanting to make the right decision. After hours spent with this handheld I couldn't be more happy. There are some things I had to do in order to catch it out to later iterations of this versions but with those things it now competes and exceeds in areas. Must upgrade include: -SSD -OS -Battery The battery life for this version is atrocious. However, it is possible to upgrade with some YT videos. Screen size and picture is amazing and with kickstand you have something to rest on if weight becomes an issue. I love this unit as a foundation or stepping stone into PC handhelds. Once you do the upgrades its an easy 5 stars.
