Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really great comfy handheld with some issues: -speakers are weak -battery life is not the best -touchpad is very tiny (but I am very thankful that it exists at all) -the trigger is kind of awkward to reach while using the tiny touchpad (when using it as a left click) -the usual wonkiness that comes with windows If those things don’t bother you, it’s a very great portable machine that can play whatever you throw at it from any launcher that is supported on windows! The build and buttons all feel great, it feels great to hold, and the screen size is nice. The advantage of this one is that you aren’t limited to any one thing on it. Been using it to learn a language since windows allows a lot of custom tools!

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

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.

Great Device. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go with this product or the Legion Go 2. But I am happy with my decision the portability and the weight of the device is good. Comfortable to hold in my hands. The games play great on it. This is my first handheld PC. Very happy with it.

Works great, havent had any issues, plays all games i attempted. Fits nicely in my hands, not loud when playing demanding games.

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.

Honestly such a handheld device its super powerful it is able to handle mutiple modded games with ease super clean lighting and you can connect your playstation controller via bluetooth if you even wanted too. It comes with a cardbourd stand so u can place it on a table and watch a movie which i thought was super nice. I havent even touched my playstation 5 sense i got this thing 5 stars all around.

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

I hate the standard of all the extra buttons everywhere, this feels more laid back and normal without those in your face and feels incredible doing so. I've bought and tested about 9 different handhelds and this feels the best by far

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.

Definitely recommend for emulators and some modern games.

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

Ive had it for about a year and play it almost every day. Its a good handheld but the price increases recently make it hard to justify. A year ago its was under $1,000.

Great product, Just wish the window OS was better and not have stuff running in the background

Works well for older games, I’m not too sure if maybe there’s something I’m not doing to unlock performance, but games like Marvel Rivals are hard to run which it feels like it should run decently.

The Legion Go S has been pretty decent overall. It offers good performance for a handheld, and the 8-inch 120Hz screen makes games look smooth and enjoyable. The 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD also give it a more premium feel and enough space for a solid game library. What I like most is that it feels capable without being overly complicated. It handles gaming well, works nicely as a portable system, and gives a good balance of performance and convenience. The main downside is that it does not feel perfect in every area, especially if you are expecting a huge jump over other handheld options. Overall, though, I think it is a solid choice if you want a capable Windows gaming handheld and are okay with something that is good rather than amazing.

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.
