Good (not great) handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld had *almost* everything i wanted in a handheld. The screen is nice, but not oled and the battery life is abysmal. However it has nice hp and ran most games well above acceptable levels.

Posted .Hey DanielC,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you the Legion Go S fell short for you. We understand your perspective and apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced. We wish to provide the best experience possible, and we appreciate your comments regarding panel type and system efficiency, as we are always working to improve our products.

If you're fine with 15w
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1080p is crispy at this size. The chip is able to get decent performance and vrr helps with smoothness so i can see why Asus said they wanted vrr over oled. Having steam OS means you can suspend play which is the big bonus for handhelds for me. Overall after paying 749.99 for it I'm happy with it.

- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Solid, but not quite there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good but battery life isn’t great compared to slightly pricier handhelds. It’s worth spending a little more.

Posted .Hi JonathanS,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that the battery life fell short for you. While the Legion Go S may lower battery threshold compared to more expensive handhelds with larger batteries, we strive to provide the best experience possible, so we'd like to share some tips on how to help with this.
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 pleased to read that you believe the Legion Go S to be otherwise quite good overall.

Good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome product but I would rather have a handheld that ran windows instead. Game pass and things being available are much better in my opinion

- Pros mentioned:Ergonomics
For travel only
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it’s very ergonomic and has great specs, the buttons feel somewhat cheap in build quality. I would say unless ultra-portability is a NECESSITY, buy a budget gaming laptop for around the same price. A laptop would have much more performance.
I would recommend this to a friend Love Steam OS but not the device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I love Steam OS. The simplicity of just being able to game without the cluter of windows is amazing. Steam OS is truly the future of gamjng in my opinion. As a dad the ability to simply put the device to sleep and pick it back up anytime is amazing. There are even work arounds to get xbox game pass games working which is great. With that said you have to put in a ton of work to get other games from other stores working and that kinda a pain. With that said its still leaps and bounds a better experience than windows for handheld gaming.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat OS, subpar build and terrible speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stick with the Steam Deck oled. The bigger screen isnt as good, but the Z1E is definitely a bump in performance.

NO BO7!!! Say whaaaaat…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although SteamOS is aimed more at gaming vs the traditional windows experience… certain software’s are not compatible making it extremely difficult to play certain games due to anti-cheat software. That’s of course without modifying the device which takes money, time and some computer know-how. To name a few games that you are NOT able to play native with SteamOS GTA, Battlefield, COD… the list goes on. If you do like these titles, it’s probably best to get the windows version to play them natively.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPricing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy on a sale, steamOS is nice but this lacks the firepower to run AAA games at 60 fps 1080p unless you're running indie games. Expect 35-50

Under powered for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Under powered for the price but good build quality. The handheld PC market needs more time to cool before handhelds are worth jt

Posted .Hi,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. Although, we're sorry to hear that the system is underperforming for you. We strive to provide the best experience possible, and we'd like to work with you to address this.
Regarding the system performing below expectations, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could correct the issue that may be software or firmware related.

- Cons mentioned:Battery life
A perfect failure.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life keeps this device from being better than all the other ones in the z1 extreme line up. Steam ran perfectly fine but did feel like it was an cheaper version of big picture mode.

Legion GO Review
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lack of a windows OS makes it cumbersome for new handheld CPU users and the screen seems subpar to other LCD handhelds. The sound is good and it has a nice ergonomic design that is intuitive. I also like the color

New to it, its great but this purchase…
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not get a SD card in my box which i assume is what added to the price.

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

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.
