Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 own the original Legion Go, so I was a little hesitant about picking up the Legion Go S, especially since it runs SteamOS instead of Windows. After spending time with it though, I honestly use the Go S more than my OG Legion Go now. The first thing I noticed was the comfort. The grips on the Legion Go S feel much better in the hands, especially during longer gaming sessions. Battery life is also improved, which makes a bigger difference than I expected when gaming on the go. The 32GB of RAM definitely helps as well. Games feel smoother overall, and heavier titles seem to benefit from the extra memory headroom. One thing that is a game changer was how good the sleep function is. On the Windows-based Legion Go, sleep straight up doesn't work, but on the Go S it works exactly how you’d want it to. I can put it to sleep, come back later, and jump right back into a game without issues. That alone has been a huge quality-of-life improvement. I was unsure about SteamOS at first since I was used to Windows, but it grew on me quickly. It’s simple, fast, and very focused on gaming. Less setup, less tinkering, just turn it on and play. Because of that, I find myself reaching for the Legion Go S more often. If you already own the original Legion Go, this isn’t a mandatory upgrade. But if comfort, better battery life, a solid sleep function, and a more console-like experience matter to you, the Legion Go S is a great option. Cons: Mouse touchpad is absolutely horrible. I also don't really like the placement for the 2 USB C ports on top. They're a little too close for larger dongles, making one unusable.

if you are on a budget and cant afford to drop 2000 and up on a high end gaming laptop or tower then this is a good budget friendly option you wont be able to run games on ultra settings or in 4k but you can run most AAA titles on 1080 medium to high settings smooth on a side note it has thunderbolt 4 compatibility what does this mean for someone thats not tech savy? it means you can connect an external graphics card or gpu and really turn this little machine into a portable gaming rig even have it docked on a setup in a man cave ect thats where these hand held pcs shine having an entire gaming computer that you can take with you is not clunky as a laptop and if you want a desktop experience you can dock it and it becomes a full desktop this is the future of gaming portability the technology needs a little more time but i believe this handheld gamig pcs will replace gaming laptop in the near future i 100% recommend for any one who want to be able to play AAA tittles on the go with ease to purchase this machine A+++

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.

Works flawlessly with all my games, easy to use, fast to power up, and an instant sleep that stops all battery drain during pauses, even some as long as several hours. A comfortable grip makes playing this for extended time periods easy. I knew the Z2 Extreme model were coming, but also saw that would be several hundred $ more, without a corresponding gain in specs. This unit is perfect for my needs

Love it! I am a huge Lenovo fan and my gaming laptop is also a Lenovo legion. I love that they created a more powerful machine than the steam deck with steamOS added! I don’t really care that the screen isn’t oled, I have no issues with my screen at all, it looks great. I opened mine up and upgraded the internal storage to a Samsung PRO 990 -4TB. Yes, it’s a little overkill..BUT it’s amazing that it is compatible with a full size M.2! There is also room for a microSD slot, so plenty of room

Excellent gaming handheld. Performance is fantastic. Much faster than some other handhelds similar to this. SteamOS is very easy to setup and use. The screen is also fantastic with its high refresh rate and VRR. Controls are very good and feel well built. Plenty of storage space for this model as well. Highly recommended!

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

I had the original Steam Deck LCD. I sold it and got this Legion Go S (SteamOS). The battery life leaves a lot to be desired, but this thing is a beast. Not handicapped by Windows, this thing really flies. But keep in mind, unless you're playing older games or reducing the graphic settings(like me, boomer), this will not replace a gaming computer

SteamOS on the Legion Go S is a killer combination that just feels right. The interface is incredibly snappy and intuitive, letting you jump straight into your library without any friction or setup hassles. That massive screen looks brilliant with the optimized UI, and games run smooth as butter. It is a super polished, hassle-free experience that makes gaming on the go genuinely easy and fun.

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.

Is a fine console with a premium feel to it, it has plenty of performance but don't expect lots of battery life playing demanding titles.

I got a fantastic deal on the Go S and I’m consistently impressed with the performance. Can run most games with ease. The battery life is terrible, so expect to play near an outlet or purchase a compatible portable battery.

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.

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.

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!

Such a great handheld gaming solution. I have previously had the Asus Ally, but I love the larger screen and not having to deal with Windows OS. Seems to play everything great.

Amazing handheld, runs Harry Potter and Warhammer 40k seamlessly at 60 fps average which is amazing for a handheld imo, especially one with an OLED screen. Would reccomend a seperate battery if using on flights/long trips as the battery life leaves a bit to be desired.

Great screen size. Good performance. Awesome ergonomics.

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.
