Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product has exceeded my expectations and is exactly what I was looking for. I initially was going to purchase a Steam Deck, but came across the Legion. After some research, I realized that this device was equipped with excellent hardware and would support any game I wanted to play. I have purchased multiple games so far, and they all run perfectly. I filled up the storage quickly with the amount of games that I got, but I got an external hard drive that added to the overall storage on the device. I recommend this product to anyone who enjoys casual gaming and wants a portable system.

Great Handheld PC - Perfect for a first time PC user with SteamOS. Great controls and screen with pretty good performance overall. Only (slight) downside is battery life but that all depends on what you’re running or playing. All in all, great purchase.

As a PC gamer, I was looking for a handheld that allowed me to havcr comfort and performance to allow me to play games on the go. Comparing this to other handhelds for the price; this product is game changing. A 8” IPS screen at 120 hertz refresh rate makes for gaming that feels and performs like a pc. Anyone seeking a handheld, there is no need to look further.

First off, as an owner of the windows version of this device, I could not be happier with the Steam OS version. I returned the windows version within 2 days of getting it due to instability. Crashes, overheating, lag, etc. The Steam OS version is MILES better. Now, with that said, this thing is good but not great. I own a steam deck also so I will be comparing it to anyone who is on the fence about just buying a Steam Deck or getting this instead. Pro's: - Great screen. The refresh rate and colors really are awesome. Cannot speak highly enough about the screen. - The buttons are very clicky and tactile. I am kind of a snob when it comes to buttons and these feel great. Not perfect but great. - D pad has been great and input seems spot on. - The Steam OS has run great and I have not had issues with the software in any way. - Battery has been good for what you get. The windows version would only net you about and hour or just over that in my experience. I can get about 2.5-3 hours max unplugged. Cons: - It is bulky at least for me. It is a chunky beast and the side paddles are a little awkward to hold. You kind of half to hold it to really tell but you can for sure feel the difference between a Steam Deck and this. The Steam Deck is a lot more comfortable to hold. The back buttons are awkward to reach in some cases on the Legion. - Joysticks are mushy. They feel cheap and the balance is off. Compared to a Steam Deck it is night and day. I much prefer the layout of the Steam Deck over this. - Trackpad is small. Like really small. It is not even something to consider using. It is almost the size of a dime or slightly bigger. - The speakers are terrible! Like really bad. Flat and they crackle on some games at low-medium volume. Like bad crackle and cut out from time to time. They are hot garbage. Maybe a software update will fix them. - Fan noise is crazy loud. I expected some noise because of the size of the device and it being a handheld but there are times where the fans are so loud it overpowers the already garbage speakers and makes it feel like a jet engine in your hands. The Steam Deck has fan noise too but it seems less severe. Overall I would say that this thing is on the right track but they need to correct a few things. In the end, if it were me and I was thinking about getting this or a Steam Deck, I would probably stick with the Steam Deck. You are getting almost the same experience and this is not miles ahead in any way. Consider this over a Steam Deck if you want a better overall screen with higher refresh rate but that is really it. In the end, I am returning mine. I just do not see the point of replacing my Steam Deck with such minor upgrades. Is it better than the windows version? Oh yes! Is it better than a Steam Deck? Not in my opinion.

This thing is just amazing. Beautiful design and it is comfortable in the hands. The 8 inch display is stunning ( even though it should have been an OLED. it can handle everything I have thrown at it. Would definitely recommend unless you are playing games with anti cheat.

Worth the money! Excellent performance. And I can do must things that you can on the Windows version of this system. Just better all performance all around compared to the windows variant. Can handle triple A titles with ease. The only flaw of this system is the battery life. It's hilariously bad if I'm being honest. You get an hour AT MOST if your lucky. Playing demanding titles I'd say you have about 45 min. So it would behoove you to invest in a portable laptop battery charger. One that has 65 watt charging. Do not cheap out when buying them. And don't by a rinkydink no name brand. Stick to what I've seen from the recommended. Ones like the Anker 737 24000mah power Bank or the Ugreen Nexode 25000mah power Bank. Best time is to catch them on sale during Black Friday or Prime day for around $70. You're gonna need it. Prob the most important accessory for these devices outside of screen protectors and cases.

I think the legion go S with the Z2GO CPU has the best balance of functionality comfort and price of the gaming handhelds released this year. It runs steam so for people coming from consoles, you get the ease of use of not having to deal with windows which is terrible on handhelds. Performance wise I have been using it this way to manage battery life, If I am not plugged in I use the "balanced profile" to keep it at 15Watts and I get 2,5 Hours of play time. If I need more performance I switch it to 30 Watts in the performance profile and plugged in. The performance of the chip is very good and I have been able to run fairly recent games well by tuning the settings. In the end it is up to the user to decide between performance and battery life.

I play mostly cozy games, but I am able to play persona 3 reload on this system on low power mode and get almost 50 FPS. Balanced mode gets over 50FPS. The battery is decent if playing mostly in balanced or low power mode. Tomb raider playing over 50 fps in low power mode. Love this device and fighting to keep it away from my kids. I reach for this more than my Switch 2. Wait for a sale then buy it. If cozy games or not your jam them pay a bit more for the better hardware. In hand feel is comfortable. Only drawback for me is the sound; could be better. but use headphones and you're good.

Played and handled great. Felt light in the hands. Good display and fast loading. Handles WoW classic great

Bought openbox and my device arrived in excellent condition I also own an OLED Steam Deck also which I am very happy with the Legion Go S with Steam OS is even better in terms of Performance. It is a great alternative to the Stean Deck, its a bigger device but comfortable to hold ergonomically and the 8 inch 1080p screen is exceptional almost a vibrant as the Steam Decks OLED screen

This is a great product. The screen is large and the controls work great. The number of Steam games you can play is pretty good, but will not play all. The ability to switch to linux desktop is nice for modding. The only drawback, if you run a graphic intensive game, the battery does not last long. If you run small games the battery is ok.

very good value for the price I got it at, it's been really nice for playing on the go. The fans are a bit loud, but I don't tend to actually notice much when I'm playing. the tiny trackpad leaves a lot to be desired, its just too small for me to be able to use effectively. i wouldn't recommend it at full price though, there's just better alternatives.

Big screen excellent graphics fast processor really cool device

Get the windows version ! I had to return the handheld because it lacked support on certain steam games . The battery percentage dropped super fast , the device fans make alot of noise . 3/5 stars for me .

SteamOS does a lot for this thing, ease of use is great. I did buy the cheaper model, so the only case in which I would return it would be to upgrade to the z1 extreme chip, 1tb model. My biggest gripe is the battery life, any demanding games won’t net me more than an hour and a half without being plugged in.

Works great for steam games and emulation. Loved the comfortable grip, everything felt solid. Only problem is the touchpad, however, navigating desktop mode using the sticks wasn’t bad at all.

Love this device! Having my steam libary portable for when I travel is super convenient. The only down side is the battery drains pretty fast. Depending on the game I usually can get between 2 - 3 hours of gaming.

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

Got this for my son for Christmas he wanted the steam deck but this is a lot better, bigger screen and more storage. He loves it! His best Xmas so far he’s 12!!! His words!! So I’ll take that as a win!!

I just returned the Z2 Go version of this handheld. While SteamOS on it was cool, there so many rough edge in the experience. Sound glitches, battery draining faster than it can be charged while plugged it. Even just sitting there idol, it appeared to be draining pretty fast. There was also a lot of control latency that just ruins fast action games. I also don't like the placement of the start/select near the menu buttons. Kept pressing the wrong ones. These issues were dealbreakers for me. This was a shame as I loved most everything else about it. I had a G1 SteamDeck and those issues weren't present.
