Terrible microsd performance, Great Otherwise

Photo makes it seem smudge prone but you genuinely only see it when taking flash photography in the dark.
May return it, but overall it's great, suprisingly compact and I wouldn't want a smaller screen, it's perfect for most games and the touch screen and touchpad thing are usable/useful when necessary
My issue is the space, the microsd reader is terrible and every game/rom stuttters. The appeal to me for this device is being able to quickly open any compatible game in my library and it surpasses 512 easily. Only one lighter older game worked off the sd card out of the many I tested, and even that one had slow load times, ocasional stutters, and a crash that led me to give up on using the sd card slot for gaming. Kinda rough since steamos advertises this as a feature where you can swap sd cards between devices, yet its slow, doesn't work, and you are better off redownloading if quickly accessing the games is the goal.
I did have the r2 get stuck the day I bought it, but that went away by itself when I went to box it up the next day.
I got used to the controller layout and now prefer the ergonomics over my dualsense, but the buttons and triggers could feel better.

It was a great purchase. Very nice and good game system with multiple options!
The only issue is that the battery life needs some improvement. It only lasts 4 hrs.

Got this as a open box excellent condition for 479.00!! What a deal! I wanted the Steam OS didn’t need the z1 processor. Plays my Steam games like Cyberpunk, Baulders Gate, Diablo 4 smoothly. I read a review the fan’s are load..they are a little load but doesn’t matter to me but some folks it could. All in all im very glad I waited for this from Leveno and very pleased with my purchase.

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!

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.

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.

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.
Best, Lenovo
