Got it on sale for Black Friday and I will it handles all the games that I throw at it. The fans actually don’t bother me as others say in their reviews but the battery life does suck so I have to play with the charger plugged in. I will say if this device had a larger touchpad it would be amazing

It's basically steam deck 1.5. Runs Steam OS out of the box but far better performance than the regular steam deck oled. The grips feel excellent. The joysticks are more dependable as they will not allow for drift. The only thing bad I can say about it really is that it will not charge on less than a 20 watt charger.

Didn’t think I would use it every day. Looks great, responsive, runs quiet and doesnt overheat. Only thing that might be a tiny issue is the battery life. But thats to be expected. Overall very much worth the purchase.

I cant say I dont love this device, the screen and performance are better than my Rog Ally X in fact ever since I purchased this device I havent touched the Rog Ally X even if I cant play my Gamepass games natively. Sadly tomorrow I will be returning my Legion Go S, this is the second time. The first device I purchased had a crooked left joystick and my second purchase now I noticed has something loose inside, everytime I move I can hear it banging around inside. Like broken plastic or metal, its driving me crazy. For $900.00 it should be issue free out the box. Lenovo please fix your product quality. Steam Os is amazing and easy to use its too bad that I feel I received two Lemons. I will be buying an MSI Claw 8 AI, here’s to hoping for a Lemon free experience.

New to these types of systems. Just didn’t like the overall gaming “pc” feel coming from consoles. Everything felt nice though, battery drained constantly and super loud fan but overall nice! Ended up returning.
