Ive really enjoyed playing all my games on the legion go s! I got the budget version with the z2 chip and it works amazing! At first i was nervous the z2 chip wouldnt be good enough, but its been able to play all my games no problem! My laptop dosent run games well so this was a huge upgrade for me! I even got minecraft to run extreme well on it!

Great handheld if you're into steam. Awesome handheld if you remote play PS5. Huge screen and feels good in hands. It's a lil chunky, but bigger is better.

Super laggy. Shuts down on itself even with optimal settings- don’t bother trying to putting the graphics at nominal setting. Waste of $700.

With steamOS, 32GB RAM and 1TB storage it’s a huge upgrade coming from steam deck LCD. Plus that 8 inch 1200p VRR screen and hall effects buttons and sticks is a huge plus. I can ran games on a higher settings and still enjoy high FPS.

Nice ergonomics , but overall its not better than a steam deck oled. For the price , it should have 1tb of storage or either an oled screen. Also it can't dual-boot into batocera.

  Hey IsaacH,
  
  Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the Go S fell short of your storage and display expectations. We understand your perspective and wish to share that we designed the Go S to stand in its own lane given its Z2Go processor with higher configurable TDP and 120Hz refresh rate.
  
  We are glad to read that you were otherwise satisfied with the system. Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q&A section of the product page should you have any questions or need assistance with our products, as your satisfaction is important to us.

Such an icnredible handheld. Steam OS is an incredible software and the many indie games and some triple A games run beautifully. Would 100% recommend to anybody who wants to play their steam games portable or while layujg in bed at night.

If you already have a gaming PC I think that this will only frustrate you. Even in performance mode with frame gen this thing struggles to hit 60 fps in a lot of games. I mainly stuck to smaller 'indie' style games like subnautica or outer wilds because they were the most playable. Even older games like shadow of Mordor just didn't run right. And then some just didn't work at all. Famously dying light and no man's sky just don't work. No man's sky either flashes violently or simply does not open. I spent hours trying to figure out different workarounds to even get several games to launch. And even when they did launch the performance was just not good. If I want a small handheld on a flight I'm just going to use my switch at this point.

  Hi John-
  
  Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are disappointed to hear that you are facing issues with the Legion Go S. Our goal is to offer the best user experience, and we are disappointed to hear that we missed the mark. We would like to recommend a few solutions that can help your performance.
  
  Firstly, please ensure that all available updates are installed. These updates can adjust power regulation and enhance the performance of the system. To start, launch Legion Space, select Settings from the top menu, choose “Disk and Drivers” settings that is seen at the bottom of the display, finally simply click the “Check for Updates’ button located on the right-hand of the display. Your system will check to ensure you are up to date and recommend crucial updates.
  
  Legion Space also offers the ability to adjust the wattage used by your device’s components which can increase performance while gaming. Begin by launching Legion Space, then selecting the Settings option from the top menu, then choose the Performance button located at the bottom of the display, you can now adjust the wattage and fan profile of your device. It is also crucial to ensure that you are making the appropriate setting changes within games to enhance your experience.
  
  The Legion Go S also comes with different active performance profiles that can be toggled to prioritize performance, battery, or balanced use. To do so simply hit the hexagonal Legion Key on the top right of your controller, then choose your preferred mode under “Performance Profile”. You can also toggle this simply by holding the hexagonal Steam Key on the top left of the controller and tapping the Y Key.
  
  Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product page if you have any questions or need assistance.
