    I think at a discounted price, this handheld is one of the best handhelds in the market right now. I prefer SteamOS to Windows, and a quick resume function is a must for handhelds.

    Being able to play my Steam games on a handheld other than a Steam Deck with native SteamOS has been an amazing experience. The system is so comfortable to use and the games run great. My only gripe is that the face buttons feel a little cheap.

    Overall I would give 4/5 stars. Performance is great...sound is good...can be paired to AR glasses. Only thing I did not like about this is the price. $900.00 after tax is too much for a toy. $700.00 would closer match the value returned with this hand held unit.

    Amazing! It's more powerful than the Steam Deck and not as bulky as some Windows OS. The screen looks fantastic, and the grip feels just right. I was a little disappointed with the trackpad, but honestly, I never used it on my Steam Deck or Legion Go 1 and haven't needed to use it yet on the GO S.

      Hey Soldier76,

      Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!

      We are glad to read that the Legion Go S has been amazing for you. We appreciate your comment regarding the touchpad. Given the spacing of the device and the more compact, ergonomic design, the touchpad was minimized for comfortability and reachability, but this will be considered for future improvements.

    Games run great on steam os. Dont have to worry too much about optimization. Just jump right in and start playing games from your steam library. Feels very comfortable in hands and the 8 inch screen looks fantastic

    Great handheld, steam os is simply the best for handhelds and the aesthetics of this device is impeccable. Wish the battery held up longer but there are tricks to min maxing this device, just have to find the sweet spot for each title.
