Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Lenovo has made a very comfortable and powerful (If you select the Z1e version) handheld. The battery life could be better, but if not running AAA games its fine. Screen is AMAZING!

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.

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.

This console is the much needed boost for the Steam Deck. I really like the performance and the size of the screen, looks gorgeous. Controls are also nice, high quality. The plastic of the case and the finish feel cheap. But the console is well built, is just how it feels in the hands. The only two downsides? 1. The speakers... The literally just suck. Not sure if there will be some sort of algorithm to make them better or is just the quality of them. Compared to Ally X or MSI Claw 8, this has nothing to do in front of them. 2. It feels kind of late in the game...What I mean is that the Z2 Extreme Xbox Ally and for sure more models as well are about to launch late this year. Reason why this will fill the gap just for a few months, then, off to buy the newest toy.

I was debating on getting this or the one with detachable controllers and chose this one. Didn’t really have the need for the detachable controllers and I like the way this one felt in my hands better. It was a little confusing first starting off but one started it’s amazing. Graphics are smooth and steam is easily accessible. If trying to decide between the two, I would say this is like the getting the lite version of the switch. Highly recommended.

This is my favorite console I’ve ever had. It runs way better than I expected, nice in the hands, the only flaw in an otherwise perfect product is the teeny tiny touch pad that’s inconveniently placed, but it’s an easy fix to turn it off!

Specs alone don’t do this device justice, it actually is a huge leap from all the other handheld PC devices I owned and tried to get working properly be it performance-wise, ergonomics, or annoyances like fan noise, this device truly has everything I was looking for in a gaming PC handheld. I sold all of my past devices long ago and am selling now off my Steam Deck immediately since getting the new Legion Go S with Steam OS. Well done Lenovo!

I work in front of a PC and recently ive found myself playing less. I got this handheld to try out and ended up keeping it. Works well and is comfortable enough to hold. Battery life is a little short. If I wasnt able to get it at the black friday price i would have gotten a SD oled tho.

Good little machine and is very comparable to the Rog Ally X in power but due to the fact it is a Steam OS it priorities games alot better but dont get me wrong there are good and bad between the two one is power consumption, but I mainly play them connected to the power source. If you like to play windows games and more outside the steam OS then I would recommend the ROG Ally X but if you are looking for it wait until Oct. as the new model with Xbox is coming out and I suspect sales will be happing but ether path I always say do your research as both won't play everything but I would take this Legion Go and the Rog Ally X over MSI machines (steam deck is also a choice but comparing to new machines) due to setup of software and control schemes defaults on games as MSI Claw 7 AI + (I had but gave it up) is very powerful but the software and extensive lag in response with bringing up the settings bar for configuration was a pain. I play manly Indi titles not triple AAA games on any of these as I want the TV or computer monitor with decent settings, but I am aware I could, but decisions are personal. Also The steam OS on this is very nice as when you look at games on steam if it shows the blue mark then this will play it and so fare the game that has been a challenge at this time (though limited) is playing Victora 3 on this. Also I have both the Z1 Extreme and the Z2 Go edition (Z2 go edition I got a few months ago and was the only one available) Z2 go saves on power but at a cost of a down grade of the detail settings on games and yes the 16 gb and 32 gb does provide the extra difference as well but if reference to the Asus Rog ally x with the 24 that is still my primary system for many games outside the steam area.

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.

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.

Amazing. Picked this up on BB Black Friday seal for $649 before tax. It’s a steal for what you get. I can run all my games smoothly. Handles ghost of Tsushima at mostly high and max settings at 65-75fps average. The screen is bright and looks really good in all games. Highly recommend this handheld.

This thing is a strict upgrade from the steam deck. SteamOS operates flawlessly, it's capable of handling every game I've thrown at it with 60 fps, I was able to put discord on it, and it has gyro controls like the switch if you have the patience to sit down and map the inputs (SteamOS makes this easy,) and it has the biggest cooling fan I've ever seen on a handheld. Heavily recommend. It's basically an entire desktop computer but put in handheld form. My next goal is to put an office space program to handle word docs so I can do everything all in one space.

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.

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 originally purchased the Z2go edition with 512gb ssd, and 16gb and found it was severely lacking in performance for what i wanted. Returned it i purchased this one and ive been extremely happy with the upgrade. Its handled everything i thrown at it very well. My only complaint is battery life when playing demanding title. Other than that 9/10 solid handheld pc.

Its truly the steam deck upgrade I was looking for, only downside it the battery is really rough when playing AAA games.

The best PC handheld on the market right now. The Legion Go S is not as powerful as it's older brother, the GO 2, nor is it as compact or ergonomic as the Xbox ROG Ally X. In fact, I would say that is not the "best handheld" in any of the major categories such as performance, battery life, or screen type. Still, the combination of things it does well elevate this handheld to the top spot among it's competitors. SteamOS is wonderful and easy to navigate. The performance is good enough to play most games at acceptable settings and resolutions. It is comfortable and the buttons are responsive.

My daughter loves her legion Go s!!! The graphics are amazing, and the screen is a perfect size!!! She loves the size of it and loves the fact that she can play games with her dad when he is on deployment with the navy!!
