    Great ergonomics and a awesome screen. The hall effect sticks give me piece of mind. More than enough power for titles up to the ps5/xboxsx generation games then you need to start aiming for 40 fps.

    Love this thing. Have to play with volume up as fans are busy working in high intensity games like God of War at max settings. Also careful to fully shut off prior to putting in case as mine turned on mid travel and extremely overheated as there was no air flow in the case

    Loud fan during high stress gaming. Very comfortable in my hands and plays most everything I need to play thru Steam OS. Just wish it had more options for silicone grip covers and cases for storage of all items not just handheld.

    Amazing handheld with the best OS you can use right now in 2025. Would recommend this over any other handheld if you’re pretty invested in the steam library of games. This handles anything I can throw at without messing with any settings like a windows 11 unit.

    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.

      Hey LandonT,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. Should you wish to play demanding titles at top end performance, the Z2 Go may not be able to keep up, but in max performance mode it should be fine with adjustments as you alluded to.
