    I had choppy sound in most games I tried. Performance is a bit better but battery life is worse than the SD. Overall not worth the “upgrade” from SD and I’ll be returning

    An Amazing Level of Engineering Incompetence

    SteamOS recently (December 19th) put out an update; however, in order to update your Legion Go S, you must first also update the firmware. This will fail....everytime...single...time. Lenovo failed at this firmware update because they don't understand or care to understand how Linux works. When the firmware is updating, the controllers turn off; however, with non-detachable controllers, the controller cannot be physically removed to reset it, so the device thinks it has "vanished" when it toggles modes to accept the firmware. Until this is fixed, the Legion Go S with SteamOS cannot update, cannot get new BIOS, cannot get firmware updates, and is open to a significant amount of security vulnerabilities that can occur without current updates.

    I would give 4 stars but it's really no games really because it runs Linux and these gaming companies are beefing with steam with anti cheat blah blah blah RDR2 works at least i got mine during black Friday wouldn't pay this much paid 572 and that's still too much for a couple of games and the rest indie have to put pw in twice i think it's like a big with steamos at this point these companies are memory hogs no way any device doesn't come standard 1tb possibly 2tb just like the EU should step in

    So many bugs. I just can't imagine how is it possible a product launched 6 months ago have these many bugs. There is a groundbreaking bug, where if you open the side panel (right side one). The whole UI freezes and u can't do anything. Force shutdown is the only option
