    Amazing handheld gaming system! Would definitely buy again. Battery life is about 2 hours at full charge so keep that in mind when taking it on the road.

    Great handheld gaming device for a beginner like me. The steam platform is awesome. My only complaint is the battery life for this device.

    Good handheld. Awesome display. But the processor is not that powerful for all AAA gaming.

    Perfect for someone like me who plays either Nintendo or PC games and does not want to sit at their set up to play certain indie games. Also, the desktop mode adds a lot of value to this device. It is also a powerful device that can play many games with great performance.

    Most Triple A games work. You do have to tweak some settings for graphics heavy games to have a playable framerate but you can't beat the convenience of playing games in the comfort of my bed without setting up and being in front of my computer

    I have many PCs for gaming but this product is my favorite. It makes gaming so accessible and I can play games in bed before going to sleep. I use AR glasses and can play privately. Performance is excellent. This is one of the most impactful purchases that I have made in a long time. The only part that I wish was better is the touchpad. it is awkward to use in desktop mode.

    The legion is a really powerful gaming device that allows for effective gaming. It runs steam really well, though there are a few games that struggle to run. Games can be a little pixelated depending on the quality, but it's worth being able to play steam games on the go when I can't use my PC. Great system!

    Great Steam Deck Alternative

    I've had a steam deck and this is a really great alternative at a good price. The high resolution screen looks great. The ergonomics and controls are good. SteamOS just works. If you have it plugged in or docked you can juice the wattage and squeeze out some better performance. Great device!

    This has been a great purchase. I was worried that the 16 GB ram version would give me some issues but so far every game I have played has run smoothly. One small drawback is some games will need tinkering with controls and settings to make things better.

    I'll admit I haven't put this thing through it's paces but if your a little bit more than than a casual gamer, this is a great addition to your gaming arsenal. I've had not issues playing anything, including a few AAA games. I can play just about every thing for about 2 hours unplugged and I couldn't have asked for much more. It's a solid setup out of the box and the community as a whole is helpful if you don't quite understand the ways of steam os. Just a great purchase.

    This is Steam Deck 1.5...better in almost all aspects...except OLED and ? battery life on very low TDP. I loved the screen...ergonomics...quality...buttons and triggers. I just found Steam OS too restrictive and needs too much work-arounds if you want to play Xbox Game Pass or own games on Epic. I returned it and got the Windows version.

      Hi HarryM,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to read that there may be some confusion and that the included storage capacity fell short for you. We wish to provide the best experience possible, so we'd like to speak to the various points you made in hopes to improve your experience.

      To start, we wish to clarify that there are two OS offerings for the Legion Go S. This configuration ships with SteamOS, but there are alternatives with WindowsOS to meet the needs of many potential users. Also, we appreciate your comment regarding storage. Given the system's specs and to maintain a competitive price, this configuration has 512GB of storage while the 32GB model has 1TB, a step up from this option. To note, you can upgrade the internal storage for more room for games, along with using a microSD card for another quick storage capacity upgrade option.

      We hope that the information shared helps provide some insight and understanding that may improve your sentiments on the system.

      Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions, need assistance, or to let us know what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    Great handheld out of the box. Has steam os so thats a plus. This Z2go variant is similar to the Z1 extreme. This device shines when using highter TDP and pluged in for batter saver for AAA games. I was getting 50-60 fps with higher tdp on helldivers 2.
