Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly, this device was insane — I loved every second of using it. Performance: The combination of SteamOS + 32GB RAM was the big kicker. Almost no stutters, no bloat, no silly Windows issues — just pure gaming joyousness. Experience: Smooth gameplay, responsive controls, and a streamlined OS that makes handheld gaming feel effortless. Why I Moved On: I only gave it up for the LEGOZ2E, which is awesome too, but the Legion Go S delivered an incredible run while I had it. Bottom line: if you want a handheld that feels purpose-built for gaming, the Legion Go S nails it.

Battery dies pretty quickly so you will be gaming with it connected to power. i like the touch screen for some games. feels like you get mouse level control without a mouse (helpful in menus) I like the bluetooth so i use my airpods alot. Runs Arc raiders fine on low settings, and other games look great. if you have headphones in, you won't hear the fan. I mostly use it when I want to game but I am not near my desk for travel or other reasons.

Life changer for me. I game when im not working and the quality of life increase that i experienced with this ungluing me from my gaming PC was massive. Great quality, functionality and would recommend to anyone

Love the steam OS, feels great in the hand. Really powerful for a handheld for many games. AAA titles are playable on low plugged in with good frames. Easily handles many indie games.

I mostly play beamng and euro truck sim on here, comparable to my slightly more expensive msi laptop depending on the game. Only downside is the fan is quite loud but the console doesn't get hot. Also note that certain games aren't very compatible and are almost unplayable but most are fine. Feels more ergonomic than you would expect!

This does everything I was looking for & more. Beyond handheld gaming, the ability to run a regular desktop is a bonus. SteamOS runs great & while it doesn’t play EVERY game, it does play the majority of them very well. Battery life could be better, but it charges fast & you can easily play while on a charger or in a dock. Very happy with this purchase.

If your vsieo library is mainly on steam, they has the closest thing to perfect lit there! Has a great screen, great ergonomics and just overall great feel to it. Only thing holding it back from being perfect would be the battery life. Outside of that, it is can run on steam OS, it runs excellent on here!

5 Stars. I upgraded from a Steam Deck OLED. First the device is well built, the hand grips are comfortable even for someone with smaller hands. The offset joysticks feel more like an XBOX controller than the Steam Decks even ones. The screen is awesome, no it's not OLED but the VRR on it really shines. The Z1E processor is a game changer, I am running games at 45-60 fps that I could not run on the Steam Deck. The triggers and button are well built, they work smooth with minimal noise. Lastly the buying experience was great. I initially purchased the Win 11 version on my BB card. I decided to change my mind and cancelled the order. Within 30 mins my card was refunded and when I bought the SteamOS version it was less expensive and the pickup date never changed. Pick up at the store was quick and easy too.

Excellent device, wonderful ergonomics, fantastic screen. SteamOS is so much better for handheld gaming. The only blemish is the limitation on playing some popular multiplayer games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, but I pair this device with GeForceNow and can play all those games using low power mode and take advantage of the 120hz screen at high settings.

This has been great for all of my games so far. SteamOS is a must have for these handhelds. Only critique is the battery life can be a bit short if playing more demanding games but that is just part of all handheld devices. It charges super fast as well.

For it being a handheld it runs everything pretty good and is really handy for when you travel and still wanna game, I’ve been really stuck on playing arc raiders and this makes it easy for me to catch up on everything even when I’m not home, there are things like battery life and the sound of the fan but it’s a handheld so it’s nothing that I wouldn’t expect.

This thing is the Steamdeck 1.5. Same or better battery bc you can run games with better FPS, but at lower tdp/profiles. Great ergonomics, great 8” screen for a non oled. Yes its a little heavy, so is the steamdeck. Yes the battery could be a little better, but so could the steamdeck. I don’t recommend paying full retail as I got mine for $650, but 0 regrets.

Great screen size. Good performance. Awesome ergonomics.

I purchased this gamin system with no hopes due to a lot of my games being very system intense. Well let me just tell you its probably the best gaming device i have ever purchased. It plays all my games with no lag and is fairly lightweight considering how big it is. I think it aits perfectly in your hands and the controls are very well made. I would 100% recommend this to my friends and family if they are wanting something a handheld gaming computer. It works just as good as my computer i spent over 2k on and now i play on this device all the time instead of my computer. I thought i was gonna regret it when i first purchased it, but If you have been thinking bout getting one buy it! You wont regret it.

Good buttons and display. I like the color. The color looks like a dark nebula purple color to me. The ergonomics are nice in my opinion. The switch 2 joycoms felt too small to me and I am glad I made the switch to lenovo. Imcan run most of my games at balanced tdp of about 16w. I look foward to keeping my device for a lomg time. Nice Black Friday deal. Thank you Best Buy.

This is my first gaming handheld and what can I say……… I originally planned to get a Xbox Ally X but the discount on this device swayed me. I’m really pleased with my purchase SteamOS has operated phenomenally, I have faced little to no lag while playing graphics heavy title Planet Coaster 2.

The Legion Go S with SteamOS is a great handheld but I ultimately returned it because of SteamOS and compatibility with anti-cheat software. If you want to play games with anti-cheat you will need a windows handheld. Games without anti-cheat work well and honestly SteamOS is a better experience, it just didn't fit my needs. I ended up getting the MSI Claw 8 AI+ instead, performance wise the MSI is better but ergonomics the Legion was much better. If you want performance and compatibility go with the MSI Claw but if you want a more "comfortable" gaming experience and do not intend to play games with anti-cheat I would recommend the Legion Go S instead.

I’ve been using my legion go s almost everyday since I got it and it has been an amazing experience so far, every game I’ve played has run great and without issue. The only complaint I have about the legion go s is its battery life but adjusting the settings can help solve this issue

I’ve had so much fun with this so far. It runs really smooth. Its easy to navigate through, PC mode is really easy to use also. If you get the legion deck for it you can connect your mouse and keyboard, monitor and ethernet cable. One complaint is the battery life drains pretty quick.

Over all its a decent handheld. Plays AAA games well, but they absolutely destroy its battery life. Which really is its biggest flaw, playing even older AAA games eat battery even while plugged in. Over all though I am happy with the ourchase. Honestly probably the best handheld I could get for under $1000 USD.
