    if on sale get it over the Xbox ally x if you do not care about battery they increased the cpu and gpu to 40 watts rather than 25/30 and gets a bigger bump inperformance than you would think.

      Hi Zackw-

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your feedback with us. We are excited to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go S. We aim to provide excellent user experience for our products, and we would love to recommend a few actions you can take to improve your experience.

      Firstly, the Legion Go comes with the ability to Thermal Modes based off the user's needs. To start we launch the hexagonal Options key located on the right controller. Under the Thermal Modes you can select Quiet Mode which will enhance battery life and reduce fan noise. You can also adjust the onscreen resolution under the Resolution tab allowing for enhanced performance and longer battery life when set to the lower resolution options.

      We would also like to share that the SteamOS does support additional launchers such as the Epic Games Store, Amazon Prime Games, and GOG through Heroic Games Launcher. I have added the link below for your convivence.
