New to handheld gaming pc world. Got the steam version of the LeGo and been pretty good handheld so far. I like to lay in bed and chill with it at night before going to sleep. Main thing to watch out for is to make sure the games are compatible with the built in controller ( I purchased the prince of Persia trilogy and can only be played thru mouse and keyboard). Other than that pretty happy with it.

I don't normally write reviews for any product I buy but this one deserves it. Under 1000 dollars, I purchased for just under 800 brand new out of box. Very pleased with the OS of steam and the functions of the Legion handle itself. The hardware is phenomenal, enjoying AAA titles and older games.

Great machine, but wait for it to go on sale

This is noticeably better than the Steam Deck, but it is hard to justify paying full price for it. I mostly use it for a handful of specific PC only games is great for me because I already have a large backlog of games on Steam. A Switch 2 is probably a better option for people who don't. I did a benchmark test for Cyberpunk 2077 and it could barely hold 60fps. If you care about how things look, your best bet is to buy a PS5 or building a desktop PC.

  Hi RobR-
  
  Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go S for your gaming needs. We aim to offer great user experience, and we would like to recommend a few options to enhance your performance.
  
  Firstly, we recommend running and installing all available drivers updates through Legion Space, these updates are crucial to the device’s health and power regulation leading to enhanced performance. To check for updates within Legion Space begin by launching the application, then click "Disks and Drivers" located at the bottom of the display, then select "Check for Updates".
  
  The Legion Go S can also 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 gauge symbol, from here you can adjust the performance mode based off your needs. We recommend Performance Mode. You can also toggle this function by using holding down the hexagonal Steam key located on the left controller and tapping the Y button.
  
  Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or need any assistance.
  
  Best wishes,
  Lenovo

I’m a busy dad and haven’t had time for gaming in a while but after learning about the steam deck I did some research and came upon the legion go S Z1 Extreme. This thing made me fall in love with gaming again, super comfortable, user friendly and over all great experience playing all games. I would recommend getting joystick grips for that extra feel when playing. If battery life was a bit better I’d give it 5 stars for sure.

Went from Z2A to Z1E Def worth it!

This handheld is worth it if you are wanting a handheld that’s comfy in the hands, doesn’t get too loud from fan noise, and decent battery life. Able to get between 2.5-5 hrs depending on games and if i took the time to tweak it or just OoB settings. SteamOS is the way to go. Pictures include Dbrand Killswitch case and a JSAUX matte screen protector. Def recommend a matte protector. Recommend some stick grips. Stock ones are rather weak in that regard

Word of advice, get an extra adapter if you're running windows 11 (I installed windows on mine because I have a steamdeck already). Now if you're playing on low settings you're good but performance mode you'll wanna be plugged in!
