Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 bought the legion go because I wanted and Ipad and wanted to try handheld gaming. I'm not disappointed at all as the screen is great and it has great performance in games Cons: Fan noise could be loud but there is a workaround if you change configuration settings to lower fan speeds further. 4/5 Stars

Some background: - I pre-ordered a Steam Deck in Batch 1 - I pre-ordered the Ally - I pre-ordered this Between the 3, the Lenovo hands-down has the coolest, most nice-to-look-at hardware (i.e. the screen size, the screen clarity, the detachable controllers, etc.). *THAT BEING SAID*, it is also the *least* geared towards gaming EXCLUSIVELY, ironically. Out of the box, VRAM is set to use 3 GB. You can change this up to 4 or 8, by going into the BIOS - something the Ally lets you do from the ASUS software, and with more median options (EX. 6 GB). Most games will require you to go to 4 to get performance similar to the Ally. When plugged in and operating at Turbo, the Legion Go beats a plugged in Ally by anywhere from 10-20 FPS on optimal settings for most AAA titles; unplugged, however (which is kind of the point of using it as you travel/go mobile), the tables flip and the Ally outperforms the Legion Go considerably. Now, you can look past most of this as nitpicking but the nail in the coffin that resulted in my immediate boxing up and taking this back to the store? The speakers. Between the 3 handhelds, the Legion Go has the uncontested WORST speakers. At max volume, Spider-Man Remastered sounded like I had an old, monotone Sony slide-up phone on speaker, at best. If you intend to play with no volume or headphones, and are willing to wait for software patches to optimize performance and stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on random game menus, then definitely keep this. Otherwise, go with the much lighter, now good-to-go Ally.

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.

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.

I love the 8 inch screen. The colors look amazing and the image looks crisp clear when at full resolution. Even dropping it to 800p produces a great picture with AMD RSR enabled. The weight is a bit on the heavy side when used in handheld mode, but it doesnt bother me much unless my session lasts over 1.5 hours. FPS mode is neat but I’ve only used it once so I need to test it out some more. The addition of a trackpad on the right controller makes navigating windows a whole lot easier. The performance is about the same level as an ROG Ally. The software still needs more time to mature but I’m confident furure updates will bring out its full potential.

I love my Legion bro to the end. Yes it could use a better battery and more ram, lighter, vrr, oled, ergonomics etc but really it is quite perfect the way it is. In fact this is the smallest of its kind because you can remove the controllers and carry the screen alone. If you need a palm size screen in your car or during your travels that does it all this is a great device. Prefer my own controller anyway that i use for everything, and the included one is no slouch either with fps mode, tons of buttons, wheel, touchpad and customizations. i find it best used seated in a car mount and used with external controller and battery pack. If you are handhelding it you better be a bigger guy or wear a mount, its kinda bulky. A keyboard/battery/cooling shell case would be epic seen them on ebay but uneasy to get it here in the US.

The legion go is a very good console in the Handheld Pc Space. The detachable side controls are very hand with used in a switch like configuration. The screen is beautiful. You will have to play with settings on your games to get them to run stable fps, but that’s to be expected in a handheld format. Overall, the biggest negative factor is battery life. Having a charging bank or a 10ft 100W charger to get the most out of your performance and playtime is an expectation. But, that’s the dame for all of its competitors in the space.

Compare with other gaming handheld this one has everything a regular gamers want best part is having a kick stand watch tv shows. You can also use it has a pc so no need to carry around a laptop for work. Downside is battery life so be ready to play use a wallet while playing if your going to play for 2 hours or more

Was a tough call between the Ally and the Go. I am so happy I went with the Go now over the Ally, especially when they are at the same price point right now. $699 will get you the system with 1TB of storage and a travel case. Everything about the Go is better than the Ally with the exception of the speakers and (this maybe subjective) the display. The Ally does 1080p native which the Go is 1600p native. The screen is, in fact, MUCH better than the Allys, but a bit of overkill for the hardware, which can seem to make a Ally a smoother experience. At the end of the day, the Legion Go > ROG Ally. Thanks all!

I have use this for the last year, It is a fantastic hand held gaming PC. It works great Here are some pros and Cons Pros: It's CPU is fast The iGPU is fairly powerful in fact at the time it was the most powerful. Its easy to upgrade the Storage on this. IT has a built in mouse and touch pad. Screen Is a touch screen. Cons It only has 16gb of Ram and that is shared with the iGPU it would have been nice if it has say 24 GB or better yet 32GB of ram. The screen is nice, but it isn't an OLED. It still looks good though. Overall This is a great device even today if you can get it for around 500-600 bucks.

Very happy with this. Keep your expectations in check from a performance in triple a games stand point. But for example I can get a locked 60fps in GOW Ragnarok at 1600p (pre FSR). Settings have to be low, but on a small screen it still looks very good. Have loved it during air travel, in the car, and using when playing on the couch.

The Lenovo Legion Go is a great handheld. So far I've been playing Black Ops 3 custom zombies, Forza Horizon 5, Subnautica, Java and Bedrock Minecraft, and Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2. All of them have been running at 60fps on at least medium settings with the exception of red dead 2 which gives me 40 to 50. The screen is excellent. It's 2560x1600. The same exact screen they use on the y700. Windows on a touch screen isn't as bad as I remember it being either. Having the touch keyboard be aware of when I enter a text input field is a huge thing which makes this more usable than the steam deck. This device makes me feel like I'm living in the future. The fact that I can play PC games on the go with this level of quality is almost hard to believe. My only complaints are that it's not the most comfortable thing in the world to hold. The controllers have sharp edges on them which dig into your hands. I also wish that there was a second SSD slot so that you didn't have to clone your drive over if you want to upgrade.

Greetings gaming enthusiasts! Today, I’m excited to share my firsthand experience with the Lenovo Legion Go, a gaming laptop that promises to redefine the gaming experience. Let’s break down the key aspects. Design and Build Quality: The Legion Go boasts a sleek and minimalistic design that appeals to my taste. The build quality is robust, giving off a durable feel. The laptop’s aesthetic is a perfect balance between modern gaming flair and a professional look. Display: Gaming visuals on the Legion Go are a treat for the eyes. The high refresh rate and vibrant colors make every gaming session immersive. Whether I’m engaged in fast-paced action or exploring detailed environments, the display delivers a visually satisfying experience. Performance: Lenovo has packed a punch with the Legion Go’s performance. The combination of a powerful processor and a capable graphics card ensures that demanding games run smoothly. Multi-tasking is a breeze, and the laptop handles resource-intensive applications with ease. Cooling System: The Legion Go’s cooling system is commendable. The dual-fan setup effectively dissipates heat, maintaining a consistent temperature even during extended gaming sessions. This attention to cooling contributes to the laptop’s overall performance stability. Keyboard and Trackpad: The keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience with well-spaced keys. The RGB lighting customization is a nice touch, allowing me to personalize my gaming setup. The trackpad is responsive, though I prefer using a dedicated mouse for gaming. Battery Life: Considering its gaming prowess, the Legion Go offers decent battery life. It provides enough juice for productivity tasks on the go, but for optimal gaming performance, plugging in is the way to go. Audio Quality: The Legion Go’s audio system delivers crisp and clear sound. The speakers are surprisingly robust, providing an immersive audio experience. Whether I’m in the midst of a battle or enjoying a cinematic cutscene, the audio quality enhances the overall gaming atmosphere. Port Selection: Lenovo has ensured that the Legion Go meets connectivity needs. The variety of ports, including USB-C, HDMI, and more, offers flexibility for connecting peripherals and external devices. Software and Customization: Navigating⬤

Performance is amazing at 25-30w tdp for demanding games. If you're looking for a windows based handheld, you need the bigger screen. Feels better built than rog ally too for the same money more or less depending on sales. Still could use more updates/optimization. Includes case/kickstand/joy con like controllers. All worth considering. Battery life isn't great for these devices so don't expect it if you are used to switch or smartphone battery life.

I love the fact you can take the controllers off and use one of them as a mouse also the quality of everything is well made and you think it would be really heavy but i have no problem holding it up for hours the touch pad is also a plus its unique i would say the downsides are the battery life and the glitches you have from time to time

I'm giving it five stars but I'll be upfront and say that the Legion Go isn't perfect. The Legion Space software feels dated and doesn't offer the same level of functionality in comparison to its peers. The dead zones on the analog sticks need to be tweaked (something Lenovo is working on and may have already finished by the time you read this). And while accidentally hitting the M1 or M2 button during a game is mildly annoying, they're also not mapped to anything in handheld mode so it never affects game play. But other than that, you really are getting what you paid for! I've been using the Go for a weeks and I've yet to come across an actual deal breaker. Admittedly, I dropped the resolution to 1920 x 1200 because the default is overkill given the screen size. Otherwise, I just set performance to "balance" and I just play games. It's simple, it's straightforward, and it plays what I want with higher resolutions and at a better frame rate than some of its competitors. The detachable controllers function as advertised. The screen is bright, large, and gorgeous. The buttons have a great, tactile feel, and the trackpad is actually useful for navigation. It's comfortable to hold - but heavy - as you know. And while the speakers are meh, I would have recommended headphones regardless. I can't account for everyone's preferences. Some people might find it too big, too heavy, too Windows-y, for their liking. But if these features have you intrigued, then I say with confidence that they work. And a bonus point because I typed out this review with the Go attached to a second monitor.

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

I bought this sometimes i don’t feel sitting at my gaming chair and just wanna be in my bef and it has worked wonders for me. I havent had any performace issues other then 1 game ( The Medium) and thats only because it is bery gpu intensive and i don’t believe its optimized to well but other then that games like lies of p and final fantasy crisis integrated have run perfectly. Its really nice to have on the go to espcially in a school environment for me since when im done with a class and just want to chill without having to go all the way to the gaming center…. Just sit in the nearest comfy chaai and just relax. People seem to forget its a regular pc to so often i will have a game with spotify in the background or even just watch youtube or netflix on there. Definitely worth the purchase in my opinion and from my experience. Before i forget to amazing build quality. The joycons dont feel loose at all in my two plus months of usage
