    Very powerful. I was amazed that it could run games like far cry 5 50-60 fps. But the battery will only really last an hour and I noticed even when having it plugged in the batter percentage was still dropping by 1% every 10min

    Finished Expedition 33 on it with relatively decent settings. Obviously more powerful than the Steam Deck, but a bit less stable and user friendly in my experience, so expect to do a little more tinkering. Overall, a great handheld PC. I wish the right analog stick was a little bit higher, but it's not a huge deal.

    This bad boy cooks so much harder than a steam deck. I would buy this 10x over a steamdeck. The screen size is worth it alone

    Steam deck 2.0

    Really feels like steam deck 2.0, perfect size, good performance. The legion go was too big for me and didn’t have good enough reason to get either. Only bad part about it compared to something like a steam deck or legion go is the tiny trackpad on the unit

    Well, its really nice looking and the screen is quite nice but thats all it has going for it. Steam OS is prohibitive if you have gamepass. The plastic body is uncomfortable and slippery plastic grips make it a chore to hold. It is mot ergonomic. The battery is absolutely atrocious. Like an hour if youre lucky due to be large OLED and small battery. I returned it. Going to try the rog ally x.

    Fantastic handheld device and the operating system works great. Battery life leaves a lot to be desired but keeping it plugged it for graphic heavy games works fine.

    Worth upgrading from Steam Deck

    This thing is amazing and blows my steam deck out of the water. It can play everything and play it well with beautiful graphics. It's shockingly fast and I'm not sure if it's the os or lenovo but it doesn't feel so difficult finding files as it did on steam deck. It might be worth waiting till the end of the year for the expected legion 2, but idk. There's only so good it can look on a 8 in screen and I'm currently playing ff7 rebirth on max settings. Extremely happy with my purchase with the only problem being the lack of shells/cases available. DBrand is releasing one this next month in July but there's not much else.

    Screen quality is excellent A bit on the chonky side but overall still pretty portable. I have bigger hands so I struggle a bit with the ergonomics. My right thumb has a tendency to tap the screen when using the stick sometimes. It's only an issue on certain games. Some people complain about the fan noise or the heat but I haven't really noticed it being an issue for me. I've played bulders gate 3 and space marine 2 with no issues. It's my first hand held but overall I'm happy with it

    Love this thing, the download speed is better than my PC somehow. The OS is awesome and things run great. Battery life is an issue obviously because you can kill it with some games pretty fast but as long as you have an outlet you're good anywhere.

    Best Handheld on the Market

    Best Buy Employee
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Legion Go S with the ZE chip is extremely hard to beat. It handles every AAA game at 1080p with ease. SteamOS integration makes it extremely user friendly with its interface. The only downside is not being able to play games from other store fronts or not being able to play every competitive game that requires anti-cheat software. But regardless if you’re looking for a good handheld within a somewhat reasonable price range, this is it.

    Honestly, this thing is a little beast, it really is powerful. I've used it at all sort of places, usually while travelling for business and it has never let me down, with the correct settings, you can usually squeeze a lot of battery out of it and get pretty decent performance on top class games. The ability to double boot windows11 on it for xbox gamepass is invaluable.

    fantastic handheld

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Picked this up on sale for $650, and it's been a fantastic handheld so far, especially with SteamOS making it feel like an actual console-style experience right out of the box. The Z1 Extreme chip paired with 32GB of RAM has shown smooth performance. Really hoping Lenovo follows this up with a Ryzen Z2 Extreme version running SteamOS as well, because a next-gen Legion Go S with that APU and the same quality-of-life features would be an instant buy.
