    Amazing system. Ensure you review battery usage and optimize settings. Not many covers and protectors for system so make sure to stay away from toddlers and pets. Has PC mode and Game mode. Very smooth gaming and can virtual play some games that wouldn't work great downloaded.

    Larger than anticipated! The resolution is great and can run larger games like Baldur's Gate 3 easily. It does need to be on a charger while playing. I am very satisfied that I can play PC games on a portable device.

    For what it is, its pretty average. Its comfortable to hold and play for long while, but plan to have a charger nearby if you're playing any demanding titles. Didn't live up to what i needed, so i returned mine and got the 1tb Z1 extreme with 32gb ram, and that one has been perfect, handling anything ive thrown at it with fiarly solid frames.

    Product is very good: snappy and beautiful screen. It’s annoying that Legion not only didnt bother to include a case, but this was lauched without any accessories available. Official case announced but looks like overpriced and mediocre. Also this was designed to be $499 but they increased price right bedore launch.

    Me and my daughter love how simple it is (she is autistic and had no issues navigating steam os on the first day). This is much better than a switch 2 and games are like 1/5 the price. We use it docked to the tv often. I also have the legion go s with the z1e. I love how portable it is while still working great hooked up to a tv/monitor. If I spend another $600-$800 for an egpu this will have great preformnce in line with many current $1500 prebuilds, maybe even a little better. And then I still have the option to take it portably where ever I want. I feel this is a good otion over buying a gaming pc.

    Great device. Always loved steamOS. Glad to see it on a legion go S device. The screen looks gorgeous. But I would recommend pairing it with Z1 extreme as Z2 go is weak for a 1200p display, even with some indie games. Also, if you have small hands, be mindful, it’s too big! The weight is surprisingly very evenly distributed and well balanced, so you won’t feel it at all!

    Honestly, I was a bit skeptical about the product because I had the first-generation Legion Go and ended up returning it—playing on Windows was terrible, and the controllers were awful for shooters. But I have to say, this product is completely different. The hardware feels like a huge upgrade, and with SteamOS, it's incredible—games run as if you're playing on a console, not a PC. I highly, highly recommend it. Plus, you can play on Xbox Cloud Gaming too.

    Lighter weight than I thought Initially. Battery life doesn’t last very long as expected when playing games like RDR2 and Cyber punk but otherwise does well. I’m surprised at the performance it’s really good for the price

    This is the perfect that i own. It is super fast and powerful, and with steam OS, it rocks. The screen is bigger than the ally x, and it is about the same price, and i love the controller. The triggers are adjustable, but the buttons are a little loud. This makes it hard to game in bed with a loved one next to me. I know there are talks the new z2 extreme launching this year, but they are just talks. I dont want to wait for a few months and then deal with the problems of a new chip. This is the perfect device and it is available now. I recommend it.
