    I had the original Steam Deck LCD. I sold it and got this Legion Go S (SteamOS). The battery life leaves a lot to be desired, but this thing is a beast. Not handicapped by Windows, this thing really flies. But keep in mind, unless you're playing older games or reducing the graphic settings(like me, boomer), this will not replace a gaming computer

    Steam os and the 8 inch screen is a game changer and i guess 32 Ram helps future proof the device.alsi this is the first PC handheld that doesn't need a grip case to increase economics unlike the rog ally x i would say battery life is annoying and steam os needs to work on adding fsr support in games that already should have fsr on Windows

    Best handheld

    Feels great, works great. Big sharp screen. Steam OS is easy and streamlined to use. If you can get it on sale it’s the best handheld IMO. The Z1E + 32 Ram is powerful enough…will you really notice the marginal gains of slightly more powerful, more expensive handhelds? Battery isn’t great if you’re playing intensive games, save those for the wall plug. But I got 4+ hours playing Disco Elysium on battery in lower power mode on a flight.

    Honestly one of the best things I have ever bought. Only issue I have is the battery life sucks for AAA gaming. Indie titles or older games gives you hours more play time.

    In my opinion, this is the device to get (when on sale, I got mine for $650). I just wish they put a larger battery in it. 55wt is not enough, especially considering how big it is. However, Im still figuring out how to tweak the settings, to get longer run time. I’ve been getting an hour to an hour and a half and I haven’t even been playing AAA games. That being said, i bought a switch 2, and I wish i would have saved the money. I could have bought 50 games on the Steam store with that lol. I love experiencing all the games that I was unable to play on Nintendo (my first steam/pc gaming device). All in all I’m happy with my purchase. Now I just need to figure out emulation.

    feels super nice and better than nintendo switch, but I returned it after trying some games and their configs were messy. It seems like a pc gaming: you have to configure the console especially for the game. Thats not what I was looking for.

    I work in the oilfield with my job i have a lot of down time it can handle most games but it does have software issues where it becomes buggy with some the battery is pretty bad so stay connected to a wall outlet. Controls are fine but the touch pad is unusable in any application its too small to be used correctly other then that if you want one for road trips or whatever its worth it.
