Its pricey but all the hate is overblown. Device is excellent and installing steam OS on your own which is easy to do solves many of the issues including battery life. There will always be the next thing-- enjoy what we have!

Windows runs very smooth, just keep up to date with the updates and its a good game system. You have several consoles in one if you buy the Widows version.

Game play and visuals are super, however not user friendly out the box. Also you have to re-map controller for most games. Had to readjust performance and display to often. To many taps to get into actual game.
Larger games like Doom needs several patches to work.
Overall handhelds in general at its high cost has ways to go. Streaming is very limited which makes mobility crapy. Some games don’t work offline.
This system (LLGS) three stars strong, I bought it cause of Game pass. But Windows 11 is not for handhelds

Best PC Handheld on the market

I ended up with the SteamOS variant for a better price since I also prefer that color, but this is the most complete handheld on the market currently while not being priced egregiously like the Legion Go 2. The extra ram & VRR display makes the 1% lows and overall gameplay feel very smooth and seamless.

For a $900 device it could be better. It runs a little slow. It’s not that much high definition

Wait for Legion Go 2

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
If you own the og Legion Go, dont even bother with this version. Its more expensive, and you get far less than what it is worth. Is it more comfortable than the og legion go? Yes. More RAM? Yes. This will cost you $1000 dollars after taxes for a handheld that does not feel like a premium device, and has the same specs as the regular legion go. I will be returning mine and waiting for the Legion Go 2
