Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the Legion go S, I thought I was going to have a difficult time because of the bad reviews with Windows OS on handheld devices. But it's been just the opposite. I haven't put down My legion go S since I got it. It goes with me everywhere except church. I was going to go with the purple one because it was cheaper and had Steam OS but I really wanted the white one. I'd recommend this device to anyone who's shopping around for a handheld PC device. Although the battery could be better, it comes with different settings to save the battery when playing on the go. Get this one, you won't regret it. I'm currently using it with a Dbrand skin and protector case. It added extra grip, stability and peace of mind in case I drop it.

The Legion Go S has such a grand screen but the specs are pretty top notch as well. I got this since whenever I laptop game I always plug in a xbox controller and a smaller screen is better for the visuals. When in performance mode it basically runs everything smoothly and crisp. I play wuthering waves and palworld which are very demanding games specs wise but it runs smooth as butter!! Also this device is pricey as heck so in order to get your moneys worth I reccomend dual booting steam os. Also installing emulation station on windows os. Get the 3 mounth free pc game pass and then use your 1 month ultimate game pass (xbox). But once you have this bad baby your set for the next gen of gaming. Hopefully its possible to change the chip to Z2 Extreme in the future though.. Follow me on discord milktea06. (with period) if you have any questions

I think this is a great handheld PC right out the box very big and bright screen. The ergonomics are great battery life isn’t all that good MSI claw 8 in my opinion is the only handheld better

Everything id want a pc to do smushed into a handheld. Absolute 10/10. Runs any game I throw at it smoothly while also able to handle things like video editing. Only downsides are the steep price and the battery life but I haven’t regretted it since I got it.

Previosly have had the ROG ally and OG legion go. I can say this one is my favorite so far. I loved the bigger screen of the OG go but hated the detached controllers so the Go S is perfect with bigger screen and the device being one whole thing. Definitely recommend this to any gamers out there

High quality device. Probably the best handheld gaming device available that also works as a computer. It's almost unbelieveable that this thing can run Space Marine 2 seemlessly with the correct settings.

SteamOS Legion GO S Z1 Extreme is the only thing I like more than my steam deck oled it's that dang good

Great for gaming on the go mini pc with windows 11

Performance is decent, compares close to the Ally X when plugged in, but balanced mode leaves a bit to be desired compared to the 17w equivalent on the Ally X. The screen is great, and a welcome bump up from the Steam Deck OLED (800p) and the 7” Ally X. Speakers being moved to the front was also a great change. Unfortunately, thats where my praise ends. The sticks are in an odd position, offset from the standard Xbox layout, while the hall effect feels great, this makes it hard to reach the “up” and “left” dpad options fast, and the “ABXY” is a reach on the right. Triggers have low travel and at the time of writing this, the hair triggers don’t work due (a known driver issue). Lenovo is also still running extremely out of date GPU drivers, so Doom The Dark Ages and Last of Us 2 are unplayable. I’d hoped the shift to a landscape panel would reduce the barrier for them to update as often, but it hasn’t. Legion Space also still has a LONG way to go to rival Armory Crate, which itself is awful. Secondary buttom mapping isn’t and option yet, and the current secondary bindings are odd (legion button + right thumbstick for Xbox Guide… ridiculous). The battery is just not great, lasting 90-120 minutes unless running indie titles. Finally, the usb-c ports are too close together, meaning accessories still require a hub to use - I can’t power the device and plug in a headset dongle due to this. TLDR: It’s a nice device and an improvement over the original Legion GO, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

Absolutely love this device. I have a 16 inch Lenovo Legion that can be very heavy to tote on trips away from home - along with the headset and anything else needed for a 1-3 hour gaming session. Recently convinced myself to purchase the Windows version with Z1E as recommended by many handheld owners. Glad I did, as taking it with me on my recent vacation, I was able to play my games almost instantly without the need to set up. I look forward to my many adventures with this thing, also great for my coursework in school once connected to a display with my portable mouse and keyboard. Screen is a perfect size, a little weighty but not as heavy as my laptop, similar to the switch 2 screen which is really great as well. Fans can be a little loud, but not entirely a deal breaker as you get use to the sound and eventually ignore it. Wouldve held out for the LeGo2 but with the price and issues onndelivery, opted to go with the Go S open box which saved me money and less of a chance of defects due to the amount of time it had been released. Can see me using this for atleast 3 more years.

Absolutely love it! Originally had ally x, but my eyes suck lol. So being they were both windowsOS and z1 extreme, I made the switch. GoS has larger, immersive display, adjustable triggers, Hall effect sticks, and it’s simply more comfortable to hold. Downside is legion space, but I don’t use it that often for it to be a dealbreaker.

Just got this item when there was a sale going on and price matched it. The battery life is in between Rog Ally and Ally X but what this has going for it is hall effect joysticks in addition to a more battery friendly yet amazing display compared to Legion Go. Z1 Extreme is also still a pretty powerful chip and unlike 24gb of Ally X Ram this has 32gb so you can have a much larger VRam which gives major FPS boost in games. Best part is this comes with Windows and best buy offers 1 month of xbox ultimate pass and lenovo offers 3 months of pc game pass which is a saving of ~$60. If you dont like windows you could easily install Steam OS on it too which is fully supported since there is a Steam OS version of this device with same specs already. So far very happy with it. Switched from Steam Deck LCD and is a major upgrade.

I own both of the Rog Ally and the Ally x. One thing that I disliked about the Rogs was the screen size especially for games like diablo 4. I decided to give Lenovo a try and it did not disaapoint me so far. The screen is big and beatiful. The system itself feels more premium and even with a smaller battery is enougn for me. The hall effect sticks keeps me at ease in terms of using it. I upgraded the storage to 4tb and you can add a 2280 to it. Just make sure to watch a tutorial before opening it and either clone your drive or have a stick that lenovo guides you. Lenovo does not have the online set up when installing a new sdd. I love my Legion Go S.

Works like a charm! Plays everything I want to take on the go with no issue. The only problem I have is the battery life is terrible when playing high end games. But other than that it's an amazing handheld.

A pretty great device. Only things I would like to add is a larger battery to at least 70 wh, maybe an oled screen (which would only increase the price of the device even more), better speakers, deeper triggers, and a more softer touch and less clicky sound to the 4 buttons near the top of the device; the 2 buttons that sit on either side of the screen which are the view, menu, Legion L, and Legion R buttons. I love the size of the screen. Any larger and it would be too unwieldy for me. 8 in is the largest I'll go for a handheld. i also love the smoothness of the thumbsticks and the feel of the face buttons. The directional buttons are ok. Not bad but nothing exceptional. I enjoy using this device and it's an overall fanstastic device.

Good handheld. Ran the games I wanted it too with very little system changes needed. However, the one problem I did have was more of an annoyance. Windows constantly sends popups for updates that need my attention at all times. Having used both the Steam OS and this Windows OS versions I can say this unit is more user friendly even with the annoying system notifications. You will want to dig a little deeper in the settings to disable some of the background apps from running. Overall I say this is a good handheld unit to play the latest games. But it is overpriced at the moment when compared to the latest chip set handhelds released. Catch it on sale to make it a great unit.

Not a killer gaming console but if you need nice aesthetic and also good performance while you're on the go this is the one. Good hardware spec and able to deliver good performance for an okay games. Don't expect AAA to run perfect on this machine. But again if you need something solid handheld and a replacement for your steam deck, I would definitely recommend this

Glad i bought this back in August! I got 10% with the best buy cc and 18 month 0% financing. It came to 809! This thing is amazing. I love the dual ports on top to charge and use my viture pro glasses simultaneously. After bumping up the vram it runs really well at 1200p. For example I'm playing first bezerk kazaan at around 60 fps in 1200 @ 120hz. Windows is clunky at times but worth it to play xbox games on this device. Geforce now is a nice option to play at higher performance settings while saving your battery. It makes a big difference, but requires a very strong wifi connection to stream without issues.

So far this has been a step up from the OG steam deck. Being able to enjoy more power and a bigger screen has been game changing.

this feels good in your hands. Good sound for a handheld and no problems playing all of my games. Still want play the new doom.
