Customer Ratings & Reviews

After trying out many handhelds , steam deck, rog ally , Xbox ally x , msi claw , legion go full size , This is the most comfortable, and best bang for your buck tbat you will get, it performs pretty much the exact same as the " newer" gen hardware for a fraction of the price . Compared to other systems legion go s is solidly built and not flimsy like other devices such as Xbox ally x

I’ve been putting in a lot of hours with the Lenovo Legion Go S running SteamOS, and here’s the bottom line: it’s a beast of a handheld, but it’s not perfect. I mainly played Days Gone, Warframe, World of Tanks, Asphalt Legends, and even some time-killer games like Tap Ninja. For lighter games like Asphalt and Tap Ninja, the Legion Go S barely breaks a sweat — smooth, fast, and easy on the battery. Warframe and World of Tanks both ran great, with solid frame rates and no real issues. Days Gone, being more demanding, needed some tweaking to hit a stable frame rate, but once dialed in it was very playable and looked impressive on the 8-inch 120Hz screen. The build feels solid in the hands, the screen is sharp and responsive, and the controls are comfortable enough for long sessions. SteamOS keeps things simple — most of my library worked right out of the box without the bloat you get on Windows handhelds. Now the trade-offs: the battery life is short if you’re playing anything heavy (1–2 hours max unless you lower settings), and the fan can get loud when pushing performance. The trackpad is basically useless, so don’t count on it. And yes, it’s on the heavier side — after a while you feel it. Overall, if you want a handheld that can handle AAA games like Days Gone but also crush free-to-play titles like Warframe or World of Tanks, the Legion Go S delivers. Just know you’ll need to keep a charger handy. For me, it’s worth it — I’ve sunk plenty of hours into it already, and it’s earned its spot as my go-to gaming device.

Legion Go with Z1 Extreme chip (not Z2 go) is a great device. I like the display and embedded controllers (not detachable). The only drawback is the short battery life which is about an hour for recent games like TLOU (~45 FPS) or Alone in the Dark (~50 FPS). Oh, and you'll have to buy carrying case if you need one because it doesn't come with the device.

I’m loving it so far, I’ve had it for about a month no problems, it’s definitely a backlog killer I’m enjoying all the little indie games I’ve had just sitting in my library. I’ve added the killswitch case which has made better with the grips.

I love this thing. Best piece of tech i own. It can emulate anything that can be emulated and can play so many games on steam and epic + gog. This is ALOT better than a steam deck.

This handheld is amazing. It was a great price. I was able to get it before christmas. I couldnt find it anywhere but best buy really took care of me. Thank you Best Buy for securing my christmas.

I did my research on this product and I finally bought one. The 1st one was an open box and had software issues, but BestBuy was proactive to help me fix it and get a brand new one. Now, when my wife wants to watch “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” that I have no desire to watch, I bust this out, put my headphones on and catch up on some gaming while my PC rests in the office. To my fellow men, its pricy but worth it.

Best handheld under $1000! I got this whilst on sale! My only complaint is they did not make a version with these specifications with Windows, but that’s an easy fix though I do like steamOS

Superb! I bought this in lieu of the new Legion Go 2 and I don’t regret it whatsoever. 10/10 would recommend. My only relatively caveat is that if you want the MOST 100% POWER PREFORMANCE out of it is that you need it plugged into the wall or battery pack.

This is an excellent handheld. It has run every single game I've thrown at it. Very nice thumb grips and trigger response.

I returned the Go 2 and kept the Go S. Near identical performance. Half the price when on sale and WAY more comfortable to hold. Tried the Ally X , Go 2 and Go S Z1E is the keeper.

Love the steam os model and great way to get into pc gaming and steam for those without a pc and excellent complimentary device if you do. Go for the more powerful version if you can.

This is HANDS DOWN the best handheld device I've ever owned. It literally does everything I would ever want a handheld to do. It single handedly got me back into gaming & I'm obsessed. Seriously, this is the best version of the "steam deck" you can buy at this point in time. Would recommend to anyone!!

I'm a big gammer PC and console. This is an amazing addition to my travel entertainment. This handheld is powerful and super high resolution!! A must have.

Amazing product...I was going to originally get a steam deck OLED or Xbox Rog Ally X but ultimately chose the Legion and i have not been disappointed. Worth EVERY penny!

Only thing that could make this better is if it had an OLED screen, but the size and refresh rate make up for it! SteamOS is GOAT! Can be used in Desktop Mode.

It's an amazing device. I carry it everywhere. Made playing AAA titles outside easy. I also just boot it up when I feel too lazy to play on my PC.

An amazing deal I found on Black Friday, and it has been worth every penny. This handheld is highly recommended — the screen is absolutely spectacular.

I’ve always been a gamer, this just made it so much easier!! I have a lot of my games on steam so this paired very well. I had to adjust some settings depending on the game itself but it didn’t take much to just look up the preferred settings to get back into the action

Ive had ROG Ally z1 extreme and the Ally x. The extra inch makes a huge difference. On sale/open box this thing was a steal.
