    The Lenovo legion go s z1 extreme has handled all the games I’ve played on them perfectly. Yeah some games you do have to tweak the settings a bit but a great handheld overall.

    Absolutely love using this thing, it's got this dad with two small kids back into gaming. It performs really well, the battery isn't all that long but I stay by a charger most of the time. The speakers and vibration are reasonable, but not incredible.

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He says it's much faster than the Steam Deck his sister has. It has its quirks due to SteamOS being in it's relative infancy on non-Steam Decks, but overall he enjoys it. He is not a fan of the touchpad implementation, and says it's like a little sliver. He loves the Hall-effect joysticks.

    The Legion Go S 1TB delivers outstanding portable gaming performance with its powerful hardware and spacious storage. Games load quickly, the high-resolution display looks crisp and vibrant, and the comfortable controls make long sessions enjoyable. Battery life is solid for its class, and the 1TB capacity means you can keep your entire library with you anywhere you go.

      Hi DamonS-

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the performance, battery life, and display quality of the Legion Go S. We aim to offer great user experience and would like to offer a suggestion to reduce fan noise,

      The Legion Go S can adjust the active performance profile and fan speed of the device based on your needs. To start press the hexagonal options key located on the right controller, then select the performance tab represented by the rocket ship, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We suggest using Quiet Mode which will reduce fan noise from the Legion Go S when playing games.

      Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product page if you have any questions or need any assistance.

      Best wishes,
      Lenovo Lenovo
