    Very good I play red dead redemption and war thunder with no problems doesn’t over heat and with good graphics. The only thing is some games are not supported.

    It starts heating up within minutes of turning it on. Also it isn't compatible with a lot of the games I want it to play. Even the ones that it says its compatible with it isn't. Otherwise good, I guess?

      Hi GuillermoSd-

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are disappointed to hear that the Legion Go S did not meet your expectations of performance. We aim to offer great user experience and would love to suggest a few options to increase performance.

      Firstly, we recommend running and installing all available drivers updates through Legion Space, these updates are crucial to the device’s health and adjust power allocation leading to improved performance. To check for updates within Legion Space begin by launching the application, then click "Disks and Drivers" located at the bottom of the display, then select "Check for Updates".

      The Legion Go S can also adjust the active performance profile and fan speed of the device based on your needs. To start press the hexagonal options key located on the right controller, then select the performance tab represented by the gauge symbol, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We recommend using Performance mode and using RSR (Radeon Super Resolution) which allows the Legion Go S to take advantage of upscaling to improve performance.

      Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or need any assistance.

      Best wishes,

      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.

      We are pleased to read that you are satisfied with your purchase.

      Please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page or contact Lenovo Support should you have any questions or need assistance.

    It was okay. Decently priced but I would look for the sales. Runs games like Dave the diver and 2d games really well. SteamOS was the big seller for me.
