    Two Thumbs Up!

    Only thing that could make this better is if it had an OLED screen, but the size and refresh rate make up for it! SteamOS is GOAT! Can be used in Desktop Mode.

    New to handheld gaming pc world. Got the steam version of the LeGo and been pretty good handheld so far. I like to lay in bed and chill with it at night before going to sleep. Main thing to watch out for is to make sure the games are compatible with the built in controller ( I purchased the prince of Persia trilogy and can only be played thru mouse and keyboard). Other than that pretty happy with it.

    Much better than I thought it would be and I got it at a good price. If you like gaming on the go this device can not be beat. Also, very easy to install emulators to make it the ultimate tool of nostalgia.

    This is HANDS DOWN the best handheld device I've ever owned. It literally does everything I would ever want a handheld to do. It single handedly got me back into gaming & I'm obsessed. Seriously, this is the best version of the "steam deck" you can buy at this point in time. Would recommend to anyone!!

    The steam deck upgrade I've been waiting for. It give you the extra power to really let you play newer games with much smoother fps. The steam os really allows the hardware to shine

    I don't normally write reviews for any product I buy but this one deserves it. Under 1000 dollars, I purchased for just under 800 brand new out of box. Very pleased with the OS of steam and the functions of the Legion handle itself. The hardware is phenomenal, enjoying AAA titles and older games.
