Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easily one of the best handhelds ive ever had! Making Steam OS public was one of the best decisions Valve has made. Not having to deal with Windows is a game changer for this already solid device. Its an easy recommend from me!

Just an improved, more powerful steam deck. Only thing missing is the OLED screen, but this display is still nice. Everything else is great on this device.

With STEAMos and the Z1 extreme chip, this handheld is pretty fast at playing games. I feel like for the money spent, it was worth it. I can play metro exodus, south of midnight, and several other newer games and they look great on the screen here, not to nenthon it feels great in hand. It may not be for everyone, but being a busy dad of a two year old, its for me. A good way to still get to enjoy what i love!

Wanted this as an upgrade to my Steam Deck OLED — bigger screen and more RAM is noticeable. Its definitely a beefier device than the Deck, but its so comfortable to hold that you’d never notice. Only complaint is that there aren’t many accessories for it, particularly cases, which makes transporting it a little bit of a pain.

What a awesome handheld! Take the Steamdeck and give it a bigger screen. Its a great handheld. Bravo Lenovo.

Love this thing, the download speed is better than my PC somehow. The OS is awesome and things run great. Battery life is an issue obviously because you can kill it with some games pretty fast but as long as you have an outlet you're good anywhere.

This thing is amazing and blows my steam deck out of the water. It can play everything and play it well with beautiful graphics. It's shockingly fast and I'm not sure if it's the os or lenovo but it doesn't feel so difficult finding files as it did on steam deck. It might be worth waiting till the end of the year for the expected legion 2, but idk. There's only so good it can look on a 8 in screen and I'm currently playing ff7 rebirth on max settings. Extremely happy with my purchase with the only problem being the lack of shells/cases available. DBrand is releasing one this next month in July but there's not much else.

This handheld was long awaited for me. Steam os on a device like this is magic. Runs fantastic and actually has a devent battery life if used moderately.

I yawned a little bit when I saw that it was running the Ryzen Z1 Extreme...However, now that the chip is not encumbered by Windows, it has a new lease on life. The 32 gigs really makes the device scream. Games look and run great!

Was on the fence about picking this product up as I really enjoyed gaming on my Steam Deck Limited Edition OLED. However, Lenovo has knocked one out of the park with the release of the Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition!! Yes, I know the screen is not an OLED, but it is so clear and really pops with vibrancy, contrast and resolution! The 8” screen size is definitely the sweet spot as I’m aging and so are my eyes. The 7” screen is just way too small for someone like me. I know it’s an expensive upgrade, but is worth every penny! Without a doubt, I highly recommend this product!!!

Fantastic handheld gaming device! The 8” screen is bright and sharp, performance is smooth, and the controls feel great. Perfect for gaming at home or on the go.

Fast, powerful fps gaming and battery life could be longer

This device is so much better than I expected. I had the original Legion Go and was underwhelmed by the experience of using it. Steamos is a gamechanger for handheld PCs. I almost ordered the Legion Go 2 but I think this device provides much better value for me being that the legion go 2 is $500 more. The only thing that would improve it is coming with z2 extreme, but that's barely even better looking at the benchmarks. Certainly not $500 better.

Great device. Love the screen size, SteamOS, and the hall effect joysticks.

The screen and steamos is great in this device. Performance is also pretty good.

OK, so first impressions are “wow this thing is light”, and the screen is massive! I love the button feel and the hair triggers. Coming from a steam deck I don’t miss the two additional back paddles, the two that they have are better placed, and more than I need. Playing games it runs very well, but oddly not as as well as as the ROG Ally X on some occasions, such as Oblivion Remastered. As for my dislikes, the software is not fully ready on steam OS; I never was able to get the RGB to work, and right out of the box, the touchpad didn’t work until I received an update. Overall, this is great, however if you’re in the market for a handheld like this, I would hold out until the Z2 extreme chip set releases as the price will be the same, but you’ll get better performance down the road

Awesome piece of hardware. Plays almost anything I shoot at it. Only gripe is the small battery.

From my experience of usinging it, the Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS preforms well. Nice to use and having steam is nice to use. Only major problems with it, is that the right joystick is a little to close tot eh screen. So when you full tilt to the left your thumb could touch the screen and cuase a mouse click, but that’s a user error. Otherwise the fans are louder than most handheld PC but the device never over heated. You can connect bluetooth controller to it like an xbox controller, but note that the controller might need an update to work on the device. Then to go into the controller layout when connected to put on a Desktop layout for it if you are planning on using the controller in desktop mode. It does not auto assign one to it, but you are free to customes the buttons to your heart content.

Excellent device- refined, especially with SteamOS. Just works.

An excellent update to the Legion Go. Just like Asus they learned the increase in Ram and keeping the resolution normal helps with performance. I have been playing primarily on the Legion Go S since getting it, my Ally X and Steam Deck have been collecting dust. Also the change from 2242 ssd to 2280 is a welcome change, can use up to 8tb nvme. Paired with a 2tb micro sd and you have a 10tb portable gaming beast.
