      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.

    Very cool system, however not compatiable with epic games. So we had to exchange for the Legion Go on windows so that my daughter could play games she wanted.

    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.

    I was able to do very minimal gaming on it, but the ergonomics were nice. And I really like that SteamOS was on it. But since I could not charge it, I returned it.
