Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lightweight, powerful, and really easy to use things to intuitive software. I cannot praise this handheld enough. Very customizable to your current play situation. Able to adjust performance to save battery or increase performance during high demand games. The screen is huge without the device filling bulky and the handheld feels really good to hold.

This is my first high powered PC handheld and I love it! Steam OS makes it work right out of the box. The screen is amazing even though it isn’t OLED. Battery runs out a little quicker then I would like, however I’ve also been playing demanding games on performance mode. I am a working Dad of two and being able to jump in and out of games is a must. I’ve been looking for a more powerful steam deck and the legion go s is exactly that.

Been using the Lenovo Legion Go S and it’s been really solid. Performance mode runs well and battery life is decent for what it is. When it gets low I just plug it in and keep playing, no problem It’s comfortable to hold, doesn’t overheat, and the fans aren’t loud. The big screen is probably my favorite part. Overall just a great handheld

Love the Legion Go for quick play sessions and the way it jumps straight into Steam. It boots fast and gets into games without delay, and the eight inch 120 Hz screen looks smooth and sharp. The Z1 Extreme chip and the generous memory make menus snappy and keep games feeling responsive, and the one terabyte drive gives real room for installs so there is less shuffling. The controls feel soft to the touch with precise inputs, and the body feels sturdy with materials that hold up well. After a few days the shell still looks clean, the buttons have a consistent feel, and the whole unit gives a solid in hand impression that makes it easy to use on the couch or at a desk. Battery life is the weak spot for me, though having USB C cables around makes it easy to top up between sessions. Storage or battery upgrades are possible but take patience and the process is more of a chore than I expected, so I plan to rely on the internal drive for a while. The good news is that day to day use is smooth, the instant start is reliable, and the software side feels stable with Steam at the center. The price sits on the high side, but if you will use it often the performance and build make it worthwhile, and the price for the quality is good.

This is an amazing device. I love steam os and with the z1e it rocks. I will say that the battery could be better so lower settings or plug in or a battery pack or else expect to only play an hour on triple A games. It’s like a steam deck on steroids and the 8 inch screen is nice but top notch quality. I just wish it had a larger battery and it would be five stars

The device offers a comfortable user experience, particularly when connecting with PS5 controllers for gaming. While initial testing revealed some performance challenges with Mortal Kombat 1, which required adjusting power settings and graphics configurations to achieve a playable 60 frames per second, the device demonstrates strong performance with games optimized for its capabilities.

The device is excellent in many respects and the best of all I've tried, and I've had at least all the major OEM devices. Compared to the deck, the standout features are the display (even compared to oled), performance and ergnomics (man with largish hands). Compared to the Ally, well, SteamOS is the icing on the cake. Instead of power on, dismiss various notifications, swipe up, long press, close app, x2, x3, update armoury crate, reboot, update windows, reboot, wait the armoury crate update didn't take, repeat...it's wake up, press play, play. Every time. When you do need settings adjustments, the menu is more intuitive and streamlined with the most commonly adjusted settings front and center with easily ledgible text.

Picked this up for $650 and it's probably the best value on the market. Works really great. Showed coworkers and they were impressed. I can play Spider-Man 2 (with performance mode) at 60 fps full resolution but with the graphics turned all to low. (Still looks good like that tbh) Fallout 4, Mass Effect Trilogy, and Halo MCC run flawless. Full price being $900, I would suggest moving up to the Xbox ally x, but if you can get this puppy for sale, it's worth it. Very satisfied with: my sale price of $650, performance, and build qualify. After holding the Xbox ally x, I will say this isn't as comfortable, but you put on a Dbrand case and you'll be good to go.

GET IT. I had the original OG Lenovo Legion Go (LeGO) and I really liked it. But my issue with the OG LeGO was that it was really heavy and the ergonomics on it sucked (personally). and I found myself hardly gaming on it because it felt slows sometimes and it's annoying having to quit the game and then fully turning off the LeGo since windows wasn't the best experience for handheld gaming, in my opinion. HOWEVER, with the Legion Go S (LeGOS), I find myself using it all the time and gaming on it for extend period of times bare bones. The Software and User experience is unrivaled with SteamOS. STEAMOS I WANNA APOLOGIZE, I WASNT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME!! It's so good to play a game, put it to sleep, and then youre back in the game exactly where u left off 3 days ago. Performance is amazing on this with the Z1 extreme as I'm playing HellDivers 2 (game installed on an SD card) and I put about 45-62 FPS on balanced settings (and I often play Helldivers connected to my monitor and see about the same performance!!). This thing is just a beast! Get it, You won't regret it unless you like other brands and Windows experience more.

Snatched it on sale for $650 and this can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Build quality is amazing: The grips, holo sticks and triggers to the big display, plus with the z1 extreme. I love this thing. Two cons: the fan noise and battery are pretty bad

Awesome handheld! Pretty powerful and fast. The fans are a little loud when running bigger games and the battery life could be a little better but otherwise perfect gaming handheld.

Great device. I got the 32GB model and it has ran everything I've thrown at it. GoW Ragnarok defaulted to medium settings and ran smooth as butter. I only took off a star for 2 reasons. First, the speaker seems low quality. That may just be a driver issue, but voices in AAA games sounded a bit low, when with the volume turned all the way up. Games with no dialogue sounded fine. Second, the fan is loud, very loud. If you are sensitive to that kind of thing it would be noticable. I've read that you can disable performance mode to avoid it kicking up max RPM, but the extra power over the stream deck is kind of the point, so I haven't done it. Still, love the device overall and would recommend.

It run really good i just wasn’t a fan of the joysticks really cant get my head around them don't know why. Great screen and display but battery life sucks on triple a games but if you plug it in you're golden.

Honestly one of my best purchases. Runs most of my games flawlessly and fits comfortably in the hands. My only issue is battery life, but emulating old games usually gives you a 3-4 hour battery life.

Most comfortable handheld and pretty powerful. I tried the SteamDeck, Rog Ally, Switch 2, etc.; this is the most comfortable for me to hold. Performance is good too. And even battery life, if I play 2D games, I can get up to 5-7 hours with stable 120 FPS. I also purchased a power bank, so when traveling, I can get over 1.5x more battery life with no issues. The only thing I miss is the lack of an OLED display. Playing outside, it is quite dim. And playing in the dark - all blacks are grey, very noticeable since all my other devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop, and TV) are OLEDs with perfect blacks.

I love this device, I’m coming from a steam deck lcd and the performance is night and day between the 2. The battery in it does suck but if you don’t mind having to plug up it’s great. Currently playing MH wilds and I’m able to play on medium settings 45-55 fps. If you can get this on sale it’s better but still a very good device.

Best handheld out there right now. Loving it. Great screen fast processors. Couldn’t be happier.

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!

Hello, id like to say that this product is great ON SALE. I paid $530 around black friday. Ive had both the lcd and Oled steam deck up until now, and this device outperforms them. I will say hiwever that i play mistly plugged in to an outlet to take advantage of the 1200p resolution and higher fps. Nit plugged in the battery is abysmal. Still fir me the 50% boost in resolution its wirth tha caveats. I still have my oled, but have given it to my daughter. If this is not on saje, and you see a oled refurbished fir 4 abd change it is a fine purchase.

Great device! The performance is pretty good and the screen is crisp and vibrant! Only complaint is battery life you will want to stay close to a charger with this thing for sure.
