Good quality steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works really well. Kinda confusing to figure out at first. Desktop mode isn’t as user friendly as I would’ve preferred.

Great budget handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this before swapping out for the Z1E version and although this model is great , I wanted a little bit more performance out of it to make it future proof.

Simply game changing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Decent but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's honestly a solid handheld but gets shadowed by the Z1E version. It isn't worlds apart but its noticeable enough for the price difference to be minimal, the Z1E is a better choice.

Steam Deck 1.5
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

From the form facotr to the 8in screen everything about it is amazing. The only reason im giving it 4 stars is because when it arrived, the menu button was broken. Couldnt press down on it at all. Other than that overall reallt amazing device.

I finally bit to bullet, and don't regret it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up at a great price, and it has been working wonderfully. Do yourself a favor and grab a large sd card to give yourself more memory for storage.

Legion go s Z2 zGo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good handheld
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good handheld. Awesome display. But the processor is not that powerful for all AAA gaming.
I would recommend this to a friend Love the legion go s
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays all the games I want to play on steam and allows me to play comfortably. I’ve had it for over a month and I love everything about it except the battery life of 1-2 hours and it can get alittle loud but not an issue for me since I keep it charging and play with AirPods. Can’t recommend enough, its awesome.

Posted .Hi Jose-
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the Legion Go S. We aim to offer great user experience and would love to offer a suggestion to improve your battery life.
The Legion Go S can 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 rocket ship, from here you can adjust the performance mode. We suggest using Quiet Mode, which will reduce power consumption and lower fan noise, leading to longer quieter gaming sessions. Whenever possible, we also suggest lowering the resolution and refresh rate of the Legion Go S to extend battery life.
Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product page if you have any questions or need any assistance.
Best wishes,
Lenovo

Posted .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
