Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I came from a Steam Deck that I really liked, but that lasted just over a year before it died on me. So I figured I loved my last lenovo laptop so ill give them a try, plus the removeable game pads looked useful. Pros: - Beautiful screen! great colors, large enough to see text and with the 144hz I havent seen any tearing or negatives for the screen. - Ryzen Z1 extreme, runs almost all of my games without issues and looks way better then the Deck did. Nov. 5th GPU update on lenovos website has improved performance for me, some games by just a couple of FPS but others got a jump from 60 to 130. Soooo happy to get free performance, and im sure itll just keep getting better as newer drivers come out. - Detachable controllers, I can prop up the tablet portion of the Go on the desk and sit with my hands in my lap and hold the controlls comfertably for hours. - Kickstand, Stong and solid! - Price, at 699, you get a lot for the money. - Temps, mid to low 60 while gaming handheld at performance settings. and plugged in it draws more watts but rarely goes over 70c - Between the touch pad and the precise touch screen, I havent missed using a mouse at all. I havent tried the FPS controller much but it did seem like a solid option once I get used to it. - Storage, I got the 512 version but ordered a 2tb ssd and slapped that in day one and absolutely love it. It was relatively easy to switch it out with the exception of the backplate removal, felt like i was going to brake something while popping that off. but it did go back together perfectly without any damages. but be careful. - Micro SD slot, easy cheaper way to expand storage, and it works.... take that ROG Ally HA! - Boots up and into windows super fast, the legion software takes twice as long to load then windows though...But the quick menu that lets you change brightness/resolution/performance levels etc. are really useful and have worked flawlessly for me. - No crashing, ive seen some people complain about crashing but maybe since I have a fresh install of windows, I have had no such problems. Cons: - Weight, I liked to play the Steam Deck while laying in bed and this isnt much heavier but the bottom corner of the controllers dig into my palms and gets uncomfortable quickly. - Controller customization, no way to change the dead zones on the joysticks, they are a little annoying but they arnt too bad, not near as bad as the Deck was. hopefully a software update will enable this. - Older game compatability, So far I have came across 2 games I cannot play. Gothic 3 loads but crashes right after and NFSMW 2005 wont even launch. I was able to get both working on the Deck with a little trouble shooting but I havent had any luck on the Go. Hopefully drivers updates will help? - Battery saver, So my lenovo laptop has a battery saver option so you can keep the battery from charging over 60% while plugged in and gaming, videos before the Go was released said this would have that too but I havent came across that option yet, probably in a future update? All in all, I am happy with it, the screen,gpu & controllers are well worth getting this for, if your in the market.

Product has potential but has cheaply made parts system is buggy and needs more accesories

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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’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.

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 is by far the best gaming handheld that is on the market in the US. The 1600p screen is magnificent. Detachable controllers let you turn this into a ultra portable gaming tablet. Plus this thing can play any game you throw at it with ease. Old school emulation on this is crazy awesome. The only problem I'm having is Lenovo hasn't released the ability to use the controllers to the fullest. You can't map buttons easily and some buttons refuse to show up at all. And if you are use to dedicate Steam and Xbox buttons good luck. I still have figured out how to use those without just tapping on the touch screen. I have a Steam Deck and a ROG Ally and this is the one to rule the all and after some software updates and controller tweaks...nothing will stand in its way!

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.
