    I got this and ROG Ally X and the winner was very clear. This was underperforming, louder and less comfortable than ROG Ally X. Too bad cause the design and screen is nicer on this

    Regret Buying Early, Feels Like a Ripoff

    I purchased the Lenovo Legion Go S in February for $729. Just a month later, the price dropped to $599—and it's stayed that way since. Then in April, Lenovo announced a new version with the exact same design but upgraded to the Z1 Extreme chip. Best Buy listed that one for $759, and now in May it’s up to $899. Meanwhile, I’m stuck outside the return window with a weaker Z2 GO processor that no one wants to buy. It feels like I paid a premium to be a beta tester for a product that was outdated before it even settled in. No trade-in program, no loyalty credit, no heads-up. Just silence. If you’re thinking of buying Lenovo handhelds at launch—don’t. Wait a month or two, because they’ll likely undercut you, release something better, and leave you holding the bag.

    Had the 1st gen and thougt this would be better ergonomically. The battery is marginally better than the 1st gen but the screen is washed out in comparison and not a fan of high the triggers are to reach. Fingers were getting cramps from playing FPS for less than 20mins. Know the performance wasn’t high. Not sure but the AMD adrenaline doesn’t seem to on this machine. I’ve seen reviews with the same menu as my 1st gen but nothing comes up in Windows search for AMD or adrenaline. Crurrenlty reseting my device to return it tomorrow. This is garbage and maybe the reaon why Lenovo website wouldn’t take preorders??

    Take my advice if you want a better experience of gaming and performance boot the device to SteamOS, and if you need better battery time! from setting choose low battery mode and that‘s will give you more than four hours playing of AAA games..

    This is an over priced and undercooked option for hand held PC gaming. Its Slower and less optimized than many of its counterparts. It may have some quality control issues also. My Thumb sticks were not calibrated correctly and/or defective. The right trigger didn't always work. Not a good product. Get the Ally X, steam deck or wait and see how they Steam OS version is.
