    Lenovo LEGION GO S

    You can play any game on this handheld that you can play on a computer from the steam library. I bought this for my 14 y/o grandson for Christmas after my son did a lot of research on it. He has a PlayStation 5, gaming laptop, Xbox, and switch. He was not familiar with the Legion but was ecstatic when he opened it and found out what he could do with it. It makes him more mobile with his gaming w/o having to take the big gaming laptop if we are traveling. It does have to be attached to WiFi for online gaming but you can also download games to it for playing offline. I would say it is for older teens that are advanced in gaming technology to the adult age group. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

    The display is very nice with the touchscreen and HALL effect joysticks being very responsive. Runs most everything that I've thrown at it so far and SteamOS out of the box has been a solid operating system!

    Nice cosole for having a lot of fun playing many games, powerful enough to play have games like Alan Wake 2, only problem is for online games. SteamOs is not compatible but for casual gamers is perfect

    First time buying anything steam deck related. I’ve always been a switch player. This handheld console is great! Big display, good sound and love the windows option. There are other models but this one feels great in the hands, almost like it’s molded to your hands. Also, I love adding the old Nintendo games rom. Honestly great buy.

    It runs really good when plugged up. A little loud with it's fans but that's expected especially with the games I play (Forza, Red Dead 2, Ready or Not, etc) The SteamOS runs really smoothly and is constantly being updated and having more compatable games with the software. You'll run into issues with online games with their anti-cheat but thats expected since it's not the windows one. So that's to take into consideration. With the Steam Console coming out I would expect a ton more games to be compliant with it. Overall a really good handheld for its price. I've had some say if feels very cheap to them but other says it's really nice. I would recommend getting the case for it, its screen protector, and the caps for the joysticks. The Speakers aren't that good, especially at high volumes. So if your a sound person like me I would get a pair of headphones.

    Got this for when I have downtime at work (I am a first responder) and it works phenomenally! My partner has a steamdeck and this just feels so much smoother and better. Plays everything I want perfectly.

    Ive really enjoyed playing all my games on the legion go s! I got the budget version with the z2 chip and it works amazing! At first i was nervous the z2 chip wouldnt be good enough, but its been able to play all my games no problem! My laptop dosent run games well so this was a huge upgrade for me! I even got minecraft to run extreme well on it!

      Hey Davefromaccounting,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us.

      Regarding the battery life, depending on the demand of the game you're playing, by pressing the Legion R button to launch the quick menu, you can switch to lower power mode to save battery. In the menu, under the performance tab, users can toggle thermal modes and prioritize battery life by using the default mode or creating a custom thermal mode should you not be satisfied with the 3 presets. These adjustments can also be made by going into Legion Space > Settings (Legion Space can be launched quickly by pressing the Legion L button (Legion Logo above the button).

      Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions or need further assistance.

    Being able to average 60 fps on a handheld is bar none! I was getting 115 on dome titles. Extremely comfortable it actually feels like a controller itself, battery is awesome too. I ususally play plugged in.
