    I can’t stop playing it

    So first off, there were 3 things that made me pull the trigger to this purhcase: 1…The Nintendo Switch 2. When the Nintendo Switch 2, like most I bought mine on the day of launch. I did not have a pre-order in place, or bought it from a third party, I bought mine on day of from GameStop. From day one I was in love with the sleekness and size, no other gaming console matches the size and design. However, what held me back from making it my EDC gaming device was my Steam Game Library. 2…..Steam, Nintendo has the games I want, but I just could not swallow paying full price for games. Sales on the Nintendo E store just do not happen fast enough, at least not as fast Steam. Also, I could not abandon my Steam Library and the discounts and price, just could not be beat. Which leads me to 3….The price, Best Buy finally did it, they put the Lenovo Legion Go S on a black friday deal which made it finally cheaper than the most expensive Steam Deck. Doing so I gave up on an OLED display, but I ended up getting a device with higher performace, bigger screen with higher refresh rate, with an open box $569 price tag. The device for me was a no brainer. I still have the Nintendo Switch 2, but the Lenovo Legion Go S is what I play.

    This is a great system. The steam os is wonderful, i love it. The only problem with the steam os is you can not run all games on it. Example is Battlefield, COD, Madden or most EA games. Once steam figures out the anti cheat they will be better than windows. The fans are a little louder but the system stays cool better than the legion go and legion go s with windows

    I had a steam deck oled and I will say there are pros and cons from switching over to this. I still like this handheld more than the steam deck. I will say it’s based on preference this vs steam deck oled. I might just be a sucker for rgb so I like how the legion looks more, it’s slightly bigger than then steam deck. This screen vs the oled screen —I personally don’t recognize the difference like a lot of ppl do. I miss the trackpads a lot from the steam deck.

    This thing has blown me away. I got it on sale for $650, and it’s truly the best decision I’ve made gaming wise. The performance is so awesome to see. The only thing to keep in mind is the battery life if you’re playing more demanding games. You significantly improve the battery by altering your TDP and refresh rate, but still plan on buying a portable charger

    Steam Deck Plus

    This handheld PC takes the software streamlining from the Steam Deck, with hardware strong enough to play most games, if at low setting for many AAA titles. However, even on low settings, games look great on this device. I'd recommend buying one of these if you have the disposable income, or if you can catch it on sale.

    I purchased this for my 11 year old son to game on. He loves portable gaming. I have always been a fan of console and PC. This amazing handheld bridges the gap and allows me to experience gaming in a whole new experience. I catch myself playing on his Legion late at night. Definitely asking Santa for one for myself this year! GREAT PRODUCT! GREAT PRICE! AMAZING QUALITY!

    Legion Go S Review

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

    The Legion Go S is an excellent handheld. I was hesitant on purchasing it, but this is one of the most comfortable handhelds I have ever used. The ergonomics are amazing, it is significantly lighter than I had anticipated, and most games run very well, aside from a number of recently released AAA titles. Even then, they are still playable with lower FPS.

    Loving this handheld. The Steam OS version requires a bit more patience to tweak than the Windows OS version of the Legion GO S. But the system is still great and at the unbelieveable sales price of $250 less than the WinOS version I could not resist swapping the two out after returning the WinOS version. The current sales price at the time of this writing makes this the best handheld purchase of 2025 in my opinion. the Z1Extreme chip performs great in all the games I've played. I do recommend this unit!
