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

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!

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!!

It's overall a great machine, far more powerful than the steam deck OLED I had before. It does have some stability issues and reboots on occasion, but the steam OS version is far better than the Windows one. Battery life is not great but pretty good.

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.

I bought this, used it for a while, and ended up returning it. As a Steam Deck alternative, I think it ticks all the boxes -- it's performant, the battery life is reasonable, and every game I tried on SteamOS ran without issues. I returned it because I realized I'm pretty "meh" on controller inputs. To be clear, those are fine, as far as I can tell; not having much experience with that input style, I'm not an expert on how it compares to others. For some games (e.g. Hades) the controllers felt very intuitive and natural, and I had no issues with using them. I would have liked to have seen the option of using a thumbstick to control the mouse cursor, but if that exists it was not evident. Waiting on a Legion Go 2 to see if removing the controllers and running Windows is a viable alternative.

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.

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.

I absolutely love my Lenovo Legion Go S Z1E SteamOS. I can play my huge Steam backlog now. Very comfortable ergonomics, the best yet. Vibrant display & great controls. I prefer SteamOS over Windows due to bloat & performance. Makes this the perfect handheld in my opinion.

Fantastic little device! Performs very well, and the SteamOS is a very nice addition adding a clean, user-friendly, snappy interface. Plays pretty much every game that I throw at it.

This handheld gaming device is absolutely phenomenal - if only EA sports games worked properly on it! The build quality is premium - this thing feels like it could survive a drop from space and still keep gaming. The controls are perfectly positioned, the battery life is genuinely impressive for this power, and SteamOS makes the experience clean and gaming-focused. But here's the deal-breaker that's keeping me from giving 5 stars: EA sports games simply don't work well here. As someone who lives for F1 racing and EA Sports FC

This great for on the go and casual gaming at home. The screen looks great and runs some indie games better than a console can. SteamOS makes it feel like a handheld more than a PC but it still allows PC customization. The Black Friday Sale made the price perfect

"The jump to 32GB of RAM makes a massive difference for multitasking and demanding titles. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme paired with SteamOS is a match made in heaven—it feels much smoother and more console-like than Windows-based handhelds. The 8" 120Hz screen is gorgeous, and having 1TB of space right out of the box means I don't have to worry about my library size immediately. Highly recommend for anyone serious about portable PC gaming."

I bought this for my wife who works at home in her office desk/room. When she logs off and goes to the couch, she just wants a simple turn on and play games on steam. This is where Legion Go S has been a game changer, first SteamOS. This is a very simple sleep/wake up system, my wife just pushes the on/off button and boom, SteamOS there, no login, no windows 10/11 annoyance, just games ready to go. The only major downside there are some games steamOS does not support, however we have yet to play anything she can not, def recommend for a quick game sesh on the couch/TV (plug in and forgot style)

Very capable handheld. Love the steamos capability. Battery life could be better, but i can still get a couple hours between charges

Performance is great, ram is plenty and the screen is great. The downside is I don't really like the way the grip feels and the triggers are oddly taller than the shoulders

Was a bit skeptical at first since it was Lenovo, but the O.S. was great. Once i figured out how to swap between Steam and Windows i was able to run what i needed. I'm not typically one for hand-held gaming but that worked out quite well once i re-adjusted. The games i chose to run(Helldivers2, ARC Raiders) were well with the parameters of playability even with having under half the power im used to running. So over all i thoroughly enjoyed the system

I was on the fence on what handheld to get, there is a lot of competition out there and some are less expensive. This handheld was a little more than the others but I can see why, it runs the games smoothly, and I like the fact that it boots into steam making the gaming experience very easy and pleasant. I’m happy with my purchase, and it’s amazing how far handleds have come in the last few years.

Runs very well - been doing a lot of emulation and programming on it. The controls work very well. It does feel big in your hands, but very quick to get used to it

Got this because I wanted an alternative to laptop/pc gaming and it’s honestly a beast- great performance speeds, graphics are very good, and it doesn’t overheat. The battery is decent, I get prob 2 hours on a high performance game before needing to charge, but recharges fast. Overall I recommend.
