Excellent screen, very good controls, well-balanced weight, the battery drains quickly, but when plugged in it’s perfect.

Steam deck 2.0

Really feels like steam deck 2.0, perfect size, good performance. The legion go was too big for me and didn’t have good enough reason to get either. Only bad part about it compared to something like a steam deck or legion go is the tiny trackpad on the unit

Fantastic handheld device and the operating system works great. Battery life leaves a lot to be desired but keeping it plugged it for graphic heavy games works fine.

fantastic handheld

Picked this up on sale for $650, and it's been a fantastic handheld so far, especially with SteamOS making it feel like an actual console-style experience right out of the box. The Z1 Extreme chip paired with 32GB of RAM has shown smooth performance. Really hoping Lenovo follows this up with a Ryzen Z2 Extreme version running SteamOS as well, because a next-gen Legion Go S with that APU and the same quality-of-life features would be an instant buy.

BEAST OF A MACHINE, (LOSSLESS SCALLING)

This thing is a beast, plays everything good . But it gets more amazing if you download lossless scalling on steam store and then go to destop mode and download decky. Simple steps on a youtube video. Just search up lossless scalling on levono legion go. AND IM TELLING YOU IT MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH SMOOTHER AND MORE FRAMES!!!! Takes about 5-10 minutes to do it all. The app costs 7 on steam is the only downside . But so worth it ! This thing runs everything even better with it on. A must!!

Best Handheld on the Market
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Legion Go S with the ZE chip is extremely hard to beat. It handles every AAA game at 1080p with ease. SteamOS integration makes it extremely user friendly with its interface. The only downside is not being able to play games from other store fronts or not being able to play every competitive game that requires anti-cheat software. But regardless if you’re looking for a good handheld within a somewhat reasonable price range, this is it.

A worthy machine to be called the Steam Deck Pro. Battery life can be improved a bit. This machine suits anyone who wants to play AAA titles with a decent frame rate and graphics on the go.

Huge Improvement over the OG Legion Go

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Upgraded to this from the original Legion Go and what a difference. This is my first time using SteamOS and it’s way better than Windows for gaming. The performance is fantastic and a huge improvement from the Legion Go. I’ve found the battery life to be better as well, I think this is due to being able to use lower performance settings while still having better performance. Definitely worth it if you’re interested in handheld gaming.

Powerful handheld but the ergonomics are definifely for people with big hands. I normally hold a controller and use my pointer fingers for the bumpers & triggers and middle finger for back buttons and secure my grip with the rest. With this i have to use pointer and middle and hit back buttons with my ring finger which makes my grip feel unstable. Im 6'1" my hands aren't small by any means but it just feels like the ergonomics we're designed for giant hands lol ill just most likely play with a controller unless i get used to the grip

Worth upgrading from Steam Deck

This thing is amazing and blows my steam deck out of the water. It can play everything and play it well with beautiful graphics. It's shockingly fast and I'm not sure if it's the os or lenovo but it doesn't feel so difficult finding files as it did on steam deck. It might be worth waiting till the end of the year for the expected legion 2, but idk. There's only so good it can look on a 8 in screen and I'm currently playing ff7 rebirth on max settings. Extremely happy with my purchase with the only problem being the lack of shells/cases available. DBrand is releasing one this next month in July but there's not much else.
