WiFi broken on arrival
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great if you are playing offline, but freezes if you try to use the WiFi. Called support who refused to believe this wasn't a Windows machine. No help. Since Best Buy only accepts returns for two weeks there's nothing to do. Will not purchase electronics from Best Buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendhorrible experience, poorly designed input
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.long time best buy customer but will never again buy a product from them. i bought this as a gift for my son. By the time it arrived and his birthday came it was about 10 days after i purchased the device. He is a child with a disability and has pretty specific controller needs. he has used a steam deck before but never the trackpoint like on this device. I have no idea why they would chose to use this form of input but it is all but unusable. if you need any degree of precision dont bother as a steamdeck allows for much better aiming and control. when i attempted to return it, despite it being within the window for return from when the device arrived BB would not accept it back. buyer beware. go to amazon or literally any other retailer and i would strongly recommend waiting for the Z2 to come out which will likely have full sized trackpads or just get an oled steamdeck

Posted .Hey AngelaA,

We wish to provide the best experience possible and designed the Go S to offer a lighter, more ergonomic design to improve comfortability to stand out versus other handheld options. We wish to note for viewers making a decision on which handheld they may want that the option you mentioned weighs 1.49 pounds with the Legion Go S coming in at 1.63 pounds.

Posted .Hi DavidO,
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. To do so, first, open Settings > Disk and Drivers, and ensure the system has all available updates applied. Also, in the Legion Quick Menu (can be accessed by pressing the top button on the front of the right controller), you can adjust performance to your needs, which may improve your in-game performance and wattage output.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page or contact Legion Ultimate Support should you have any questions or need further assistance.

Stopped working
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It just bricked and stopped working, wouldn't turn on at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOver priced
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is wildly over priced. It feels cheaply made, its uncomfortable to hold if you dont have large hands, there is no built in kick stand, no HDMI port, i prefer my Legion Go first edition. I returned this the next day.

Posted .Hey LadyGMA,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the design of the Legion Go S fell short for you, leading to you returning the system.
We wish to clarify that neither the Legion Go or Legion Go S feature an HDMI port, but two USB-C ports that can be adapter to HDMI. We appreciate your comments regarding the ergonomics and omission of a kickstand. The Legion Go S was designed to be lighter and more comfortable than the Legion Go based on user feedback, and with no detachable controllers, a kickstand was no longer as important.
Your notes will be considered as we look for future improvements. Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions or further comments.
Best,

What a great handheld PC with SteamOS.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Steam OS really does wonders here compared to windows. Windows is definitely the drawback of these pc handhelds. SteamOS pretty much resolves all issues. I mainly game on steam when on PC so it works for me. This thing is great in hand and has great specs. I believe because of tariffs the price got raised which sucks but what can you do. The price is a hard pill to swallow. Id rather have this than ROG ally X windows edition only because of windows being an issue. I like that I can run games like octopath traveler 2, bravely default, dragon quest 3 hd 2d remake on like max settings and other games like stellar blade, dead space remake, cyberpunk run quite well. I use this and my switch 2 for handheld gaming. To me idc this doesnt have an hdmi port or anything because I bought it soley to be able to play handheld. Battery is like comparable to switch 2 its decent not anything mindblowing.

- Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Steam Deck 2.0
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Lenovo Legion Go S Steam OS with 32GB RAM and the Z1 Extreme Processor is such a HUGE step up in handheld PC gaming! PROS - (1) Comfortable to hold for my XL glove-sized hands, (2) Can run any game I've thrown at it like Remnant 2, Oblivion Remastered, and Black Myth Wukong (50 FPS is Myth on Medium settings and downloads in the background). (3) Big 8" VRR display looks bright and I don't miss my Steam Deck OLED at all! (4) The tiny trackpad: Lemme explain. I never used my Steam Deck OLED trackpad, so I much prefer the trackpack on this is tiny and out of the way. (5) Expandable Storage! I installed a Samsung 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 internal SSD including a micro SD gets me 3.6 TB + 1.8 TB = 5.4TB usable storage. (6) Dark purple handheld grips look great. CONS: I can only think of one: The price. It was $960 Console + $300 warranty + $300 for the SSD + $50 for a grip, thumb pads, screen protector, TV Dock. CONCLUSION: I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for an upgrade especially over the Steam Deck; Steam Deck is still a good console, I enjoyed my time with it, but games I wanted to play were often too graphically intense for the Deck to handle--thankfully the Legion Go S stepped up!
