    Best money well spent gift to myself. Really enjoy this over my PS5 system, it’s basically a handheld PC plus game console.

    Honestly one of my best purchases. Runs most of my games flawlessly and fits comfortably in the hands. My only issue is battery life, but emulating old games usually gives you a 3-4 hour battery life.

    This was overall very good its more powerful than a steam deck with the same great operating system. Only downside is the shortish battery life but its not bad at all.

    Snatched it on sale for $650 and this can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Build quality is amazing: The grips, holo sticks and triggers to the big display, plus with the z1 extreme. I love this thing. Two cons: the fan noise and battery are pretty bad

      Hi,

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

      Regarding the battery life, depending on the demand of the game you're playing, by pressing the Legion R button to launch the quick menu, you can switch to lower power mode to save battery. In the menu, under the performance tab, users can toggle thermal modes and prioritize battery life by using the default mode or creating a custom thermal mode should you not be satisfied with the 3 presets. These adjustments can also be made by going into Legion Space > Settings (Legion Space can be launched quickly by pressing the Legion L button (Legion Logo above the button).

      We are glad to read that you are otherwise loving your purchase.

      Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page or contact Lenovo Support should you have any questions or need assistance.

    Had a great experience for the most part. Just felt like the screen was to small, and had to have great internet to have the best experience. Overall would recommend to friends that travel a lot and still want to play games without taking there pc or console.

    Great choice if you don't have a PC handheld currently, especially with the Steam Deck removing the $400 model. Will play most modern Aa games great if you have the right expectations.

    My husband bought this for himself, and he absolutely loves it.If you are a steam player and you buy those games from steam I suggest you buy this council.Because it loads right up. There is a way to even add the older games for 90s. Kids on here from ps 1
