Customer Ratings & Reviews

Steam OS on this beautiful device packed with this much power is just AMAZING, i bought this for the screen size, although its not OLED, but the IPS display panel on this device is color vibrant and the Ergonomic is just surpurb, super comfortable to hold. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone. The only thing i am not a big fan is the color of the device, but its nothing a decal Dbrand skin can not fix. Highly recommend this for a BIG steam deck upgrade.

Thought it’d gather dust after a few weeks like my other consoles but I haven’t been able to stop playing it. Modern games run decently and everything else runs great. Only downside is battery life about 2hours.

I absolutely love this!! I found the sweet spot with the performance settings so the fans aren't attempting takeoff. I am obsessed, the graphics are so gorgeous, the performance is amazing. Theres no lag whatsoever with the games I play. The only thing i really dont like is how loud the bumpers are when you click em, its excessively.. clicky but i mean, everything else is 10/10.

Got this for a trip, and couldn't be more satisfied. I'd like to see bundle options through best buy, to include a case and screen protector. The Go S Extreme even runs game sthat are not yet compatible. Charges quickly, decent battery life.

Steam Deck 2.0! The added ram and horsepower added to this handheld makes it a beast to play any game on! I’ve challenged it with last of us, avatar, and many other demanding games to be delightfully surprised of how well it looks and the FPS it’s plays at. This will last quite a long time as long as you aren’t chomping at the bit to get every new pc handheld that only slightly upgrade certain components.

Great product for accessing a variety of triple-A games on Steam. The Steam operating system is extremely easy to use. The cpu/gpu, graphical quality and speed of he games are great, although some of the higher-end games struggle with texture quality at times. That said, games like Spider-Man 2 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle run great with no crashes, if you don't the little imperfections here and there. It's a little on the price side, but certainly one to book mark for when there is a sale. While the battery isn't great, I mostly use it at home anyway, so it doesn't bother me.

If you can get it on sale, it’s a wonderful upgrade to the Steam Deck. Currently using it as my main gaming device since it’s so convenient. Combined with a Killswitch case, I feel I can take it around anywhere. Steam OS means you’re initially locked in to that ecosystem, but there are plenty of ways around that. It would make a wonderful gift for the gamer in your life. The only downsides are the battery and speakers, but there are workarounds for those as well.

Happy with my purchase. I owned a ton of handhelds this year including the legion go 2, my favorite by far was the legion go s z1 extreme with steamos though. It plays all of my games, steamos gets me right into gaming quickly. Quick resume is a must for me these days where I often pick it up to play here and there. Screen is 8” so plenty of real estate for games and small text. I highly recommend this device!

The device is great but its a bit overkill for most games i play. You do need to change its performance settings or else it will freeze mid game, you could also pplay in performance mode which will stop it from freezing but it also drains the battery really fast.

This Legion Go S was planned to be my handheld emulation machine. But now its my go-to for everything. The Z1 extreme chip can still power modern games, and if you lower the TDP you can get 6+ hours for emulation. So comfortable to hold, too. The screen is nice and big, even though it’s not OLED, its still gorgeous.

Pretty awesome device. The unit feels sturdy and comfortable to hold.

ChatGPT said: The Legion Go S earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars for its impressive hardware and refined user experience. The build quality is outstanding, with a premium feel, sturdy materials, and excellent ergonomics that make it stand out among handheld gaming PCs. Running SteamOS, it delivers a clean, console-like interface with great performance and compatibility for most games, giving it a strong plug-and-play appeal. However, the one drawback is that installing Windows requires firmware changes before drivers can be applied, making the process unnecessarily complicated for users who want dual-boot flexibility. Despite this, the Legion Go S remains a well-engineered and versatile gaming handheld.

Having a lot of fun! My first handheld and so far having no issues, my only complaint is that battery could be better.

Very first handheld pc that I owned, first I was undecided between this legion go s z1 extreme or the steam deck oled some people say steam is still the best but can't run new and more demanding games so I have decided on buying this one also upgraded the ssd from 1tb to 4tb bought same time here at best buy samsung 990 pro both works perfectly and no complains, never been very happy with my purchase

Pretty happy with my purchase most games I own have been able to run. This little guy got kick to it and paired with SteamOS performance is greatly improved compared to other devices in the market. I just wished the trackpad was a little bigger other than that 9/10. FYI you can switch to desktop mode and use downloadable compatibility programs to run windows launchers and games.

This is one of the best additions to my gaming set up, it can run Doom 2019 on high graphics at 90-100 fps, amd can run more demanding games like red dead redemption 2 on medium-low with 40-50 fps. i can also just stream rdr2 or whatever else on high graphics from my pc and play it on the legion go with little to no latency (when using ethernet)

Stream OS is pretty awesome, and this is a very capable handheld

Very happy with my beautiful console, it is very powerful and fast to play

Very nice and more powerful than my gaming laptop even tho i have a nice desktop now, but I enjoy laying in bed after work and play the same game that I usually play on my desktop IN BED, UNDER THE AC. My wife loves it because I can stay next to her while im gaming lol Under steamOS everything is smooth, and I can also play on desktop platform, Im running battlenet on mine and plays with no issue. Very good

The steam deck upgrade I've been waiting for. It give you the extra power to really let you play newer games with much smoother fps. The steam os really allows the hardware to shine
