Lovely product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Godlike except Linux, I don’t know Linux that’s the only bad part since it’s super customizable since it’s just a computer but in a game pad configuration I bring it everywhere and it doesn’t fail. I do wish it had its own mobile data but that would inflate the price horrifically 10:10

Works well wished there were covers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works extremely well. I was told it woukdnt handle certain games like Monster Hunter Wilds but i downloaded it and it worked just fine. Graphics movement and everything no issies. The reason why im givong it a 4 star though is because they didnt have any covers for the screen or the system itself.

The Unofficial Steam Deck 2
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was on the fence about picking this product up as I really enjoyed gaming on my Steam Deck Limited Edition OLED. However, Lenovo has knocked one out of the park with the release of the Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition!! Yes, I know the screen is not an OLED, but it is so clear and really pops with vibrancy, contrast and resolution! The 8” screen size is definitely the sweet spot as I’m aging and so are my eyes. The 7” screen is just way too small for someone like me. I know it’s an expensive upgrade, but is worth every penny! Without a doubt, I highly recommend this product!!!

Amazing Product!! SteamOS makes it great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld is awesome! SteamOS is rock solid and supported well (You can Dual Boot Windows if your interested). SteamOS does have some constraints (Anti-Cheat, etc.) but its just so fluid and a joy to play on. Only difficult part is upgrading the drive ... Not too bad but other handhelds are easier.

Solid Refresh/Upgrade from the Steam Deck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was highly skeptical about this machine since the Steam Deck has already done an amazing job of hosting SteamOs. However, the Legion Go S blew all of my expectations out of the water. Z1E Chip + 8" screen + comfortable ergonomics is a nice refresh and processing boost/screen from the sd. This device is a home run only IF you know what you are getting into. Drawbacks come down to a lack of Windows OS, for which there is a Windows version of this device and you'll have to pick the red pill or blue pill.

Exceeded expectations!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a PC gamer, I wanted a way to play games without having to sit in front of the computer. I was skeptical of how useful this would be, and bought it fully expecting to return it. However, this thing is pretty awesome. All I’ve used since I got it.

Amazing handheld
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays everything I've thrown at it. From emulation to AAA titles it runs decently so long as you keep your expectations realistic. Will it play everything natively at MAX quality? No. Most recent games will be a mixture of medium/low, or you can tinker with it until you get that sweet spot. The VRR helps a lot so if you dip around 55-57fps in game, you won't notice it as much. Wish they would've done something better with the trackpad as it is essentially useless but I haven't run into a scenario where I was required to use it. Highly recommend.

Amazing Handheld!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product performed amazing, the SteamOS was very fluid and I had zero issues. I only returned it because there was a great deal on an open box ASUS G18 laptop that I had been eyeing for a while. Battery lasted 1 hour on max settings playing Assassin's Creed Origin, and 1.5 - 2 hours on mid settings.

Handheld Gaming Continues to Impress
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Delivery was great. Product itself is amazing. Bought it for my fiancée and she’s put some good time into it while just laying in bed or on the couch. So nice to be able to just “couch-game”.

Perfect for a busy parent wanting to game
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love using this thing, it's got this dad with two small kids back into gaming. It performs really well, the battery isn't all that long but I stay by a charger most of the time. The speakers and vibration are reasonable, but not incredible.

Great device exceeded expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is so much better than I expected. I had the original Legion Go and was underwhelmed by the experience of using it. Steamos is a gamechanger for handheld PCs. I almost ordered the Legion Go 2 but I think this device provides much better value for me being that the legion go 2 is $500 more. The only thing that would improve it is coming with z2 extreme, but that's barely even better looking at the benchmarks. Certainly not $500 better.

Better than the Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing handheld that runs circles around the steam deck. Comfortable controllers, amazing screen, and stays cool. Only downside is the battery which I might get 2 hours of on heavy games.

Best all round handheld PC for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up during Black Friday. Coming from a Steam Deck, this beat it hands down. No problems playing current aaa games with acceptable frame rates. If you can find it for $650, it's a great buy.
