    Windows OS was never a fit for handheld gaming-period. Steam OS made it right and combining it with Z1E just made the games run even more smoothly.

    I am a casual gamer and not very well versed in gaming PCs/consoles. Compared to the original legion go, this hand held did not meet my expectations. The screen quality is gorgeous - and that’s really the only nice thing I have to say about it. Immediately upon set up, the controllers would not work for typing. It was typing double no matter what and I had to use the touch screen. I finished set up, opened steam and the fan is already extremely loud. I tried updating/resetting the controller and nothing worked. I returned this product.

    Screen size is awesome and Cristal clear, most games on my steam account didnt run well on a hand-held. The few games that did run didnt run the best but were payable. For the price i decided to return the device, if it was cheaper it would be worth the few games that worked but at this price its not worth it

    Larger than anticipated! The resolution is great and can run larger games like Baldur's Gate 3 easily. It does need to be on a charger while playing. I am very satisfied that I can play PC games on a portable device.

      Hi MattR-

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the reliability and efficiency of the Legion Go S. We aim to offer great user experience and would like to share some actions you can take to improve your battery life.

      The Legion Go S can 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 rocket ship, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We suggest using Quiet Mode which will reduce power consumption, leading to longer gaming sessions. Whenever possible, we also suggest lowering the resolution of the Legion Go S to extend battery life.

      Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product page if you have any questions or need any assistance.

      Best wishes,
      Lenovo Lenovo
