Customer Ratings & Reviews

After spending some time with the Lenovo Legion Go, I've gathered quite a few impressions about this device, both good and bad. Here's my take on it: Pros: --------------- Display Quality: The display is truly amazing. It's one of the best I've seen on a handheld device, offering crisp and vibrant visuals that enhance my gaming experience. Cooling and SSD Upgradeability: I appreciate the efficient cooling system in the Legion Go. It keeps the device cool even during extended gaming sessions. Plus, the ease of upgrading the SSD is a big plus for me. Battery Life and Ergonomics: The battery life is decent, especially when playing more demanding games. In terms of ergonomics, the device feels comfortable in my hands, though it took a bit of getting used to. Cons: --------------- Comfort and Design Issues: I've noticed that the bottom edges can be a bit uncomfortable, especially if I'm holding the device tightly for a long time. Also, the placement of the start/pause button is quite frustrating – it's not where I'd intuitively expect it to be. Controller Quality and Layout: The detachable controllers feel somewhat cheap to me, lacking the solid feel I prefer. The layout of the back buttons and scroll wheel is also not ideal, causing some strain on my wrist during prolonged use. Software and Interface Shortcomings: The Legion Space software definitely needs more work. It feels half-baked and makes navigating settings more cumbersome than it should be. Fan Noise and Lack of VRR: The fan noise is noticeable and can be distracting in quieter environments. The absence of Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is a significant downside, particularly given the quality of the screen. The Jury is Still Out --------------- FPS Mode: The FPS mode is a bit of a mixed bag for me. It's an interesting feature, but it feels overly complicated and somewhat gimmicky. Speakers and Sound Quality: The sound quality from the speakers isn't as good as I expected. It's adequate, but not impressive. Value for Money: Considering the features and performance, I think the Legion Go offers decent value. However, the combination of hardware and software issues makes me question its overall worth. Final Thoughts Overall, the Lenovo Legion Go is a device with a lot of potentials. The display and build quality are its strongest points, but the comfort, controller quality, and software experience leave room for improvement. The lack of VRR and the noticeable fan noise are also drawbacks that I hope will be addressed in future iterations. While I see a lot of promise in this device, I believe it might not be the perfect fit for everyone, especially those who are particular about ergonomics and software efficiency.

This really is an amazing product. It has great quality and resistance. I am a video game collector and I can say with confidence about the product. I also have the Steam Deck and the Rog Ally and compared to these the Lenovo Legion Go has the best screen. The screen size is excellent for a good gameplay experience. In terms of performance, it is superior to Steam Deck, but the Windows operating system has some problems that leave something to be desired. I believe that if Windows were prepared directly for a portable video game it would be better optimized. In terms of performance compared to Rog Ally, they are identical! I didn't particularly like the Legion Space system, I had several problems with it and had to reinstall it a few times to resolve them. I even had a problem where some buttons stopped working in legion space and only reinstalling this was resolved. This point I believe Lenovo needs to improve. About the battery, like other portable consoles, it doesn't last long in triple AAA games. But the experience is still good. Ah, the console's ventilation is also good, only getting a little hot at times. Overall it's an excellent console, worth the purchase.

The Lenovo Legion Go is absolutely gorgeous and the most impressive price of gaming tech I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot! It's comfy to hold, the screen is massive and gorgeous and it runs AAA games like a boss! I was absolutely in love with my Steam Deck for well over a year, but kept getting frustrated by the lack of have it could play (esp online PvP games) and play well. The Legion Go not only plays every game you can play on a full sized gaming PC, but also runs then beautifully. Plus it does everything a PC can do. I sold my Steam Deck to upgrade to the Legion Go and couldn't be happier with my decision. If you're a true PC gamer and want to take your games on the road or to the couch or bed without sacrificing fidelity the a Legion Go will not disappoint!

All I can say is wow! Screen - large screen, HD resolution and 144hz refresh rate makes this device great! Touch - very smooth and easy to navigate using either the screen or touchpad Controllers - They offer options to go handheld while your device is charging or docked or with the system if you're on the go. FPS mode is a nice feature made for shooting games. Software - needs improvement but fix coming along nicely - I mean it's a Windows OS even gaming PCs need software fixes. Overall great device that offers high quality gaming experience that doubles as a PC entertainment/productivity on the go.

Really a step in the right direction with everything it has going for it. Screen is the best part and everything else like the 2 USB C ports and the detachable controllers makes the experience even more enjoyable. Software still needs work but i know in the next few months it'll be way better. Really hope to see a second Legion Go in the future because this is the kind of handheld device I've always wanted.

This pc handheld is 8 inches and is a big beautiful site for sore eyes. I like this pc more then my built custom pc job. Imthe battery is not that good only last almost about 2hrs but dont let the battery life discourage you of getting it becase of the fact it is the biggest handheld out there bigger then the ally rog7 and the steam deck even the msi claw. And one more thing they always go on sale every month i got mine for only $499 it a must have unless it to much power for you.

So, I never actually got mine from here, my delivery never showed up but I went and got another locally. Love this device, the display is beautiful, it games impressively well for an iGPU system really the only downside is battery life which isnt even 90 minutes in performance mode, still under 2 hours even in balanced. But it serves as a great replacement for my legion 7 pro 16” laptop when on the go! With the help of an nvme enclosure with a 2tb ssd and a 1.5tb sd card, i have 4tb total storage on this thing and its so great.

Sold my original Ally X Extreme to get this. It's ok since to recent updates but a few things might have me return it. The speakers SUCKS, Straight out the box the left speaker is cracking at like 39% vol. The side and weight is a little too much. I want something like the Ayaneo 2S. And I want 16gig memory.

this thing runs any and everything with the right setting, not only can you take off the controllers, it had a huge 8.8 inch screen thats so vibrant

It preforms well, emulation is simple. AAA tiltes will run on this device. It will take some windows tweaking toget the best performance. Speakers aren't the best

Great handheld with a huge screen compared to the others. Battery life isn’t terrible, but could always be better.

First time owning one, I love it! It’s a little heavy but worth the investment if it’s something you’re interested in. I work full time and I am a full time student, have two boys and this gives me time to game when I’m chillin in bed or relaxing for a bit on the couch. The cons are that it overheats sometimes but that’s when I lay it down but it automatically shuts off to protect the battery. The picture quality is amazing it’s literally a tiny pc. I definitely recommend.

This ine of the best handheld to date with removable joy stick and a 2k screen make watching movies playing games and getting work done

Played Mw3 while at the airport while using free wifi..how do you still lose? Come on now. But besides that this thing is crazy I rarely run into crashes while playing cod but I do experience little lag spikes here and there but not a super inconvenience for my gameplay. I mainly use this while my girlfriend is playing on my pc so this thing is such a clutch.

From the big screen to it controls I love it, the speakers sound a little weird but is because their output is a the top. So far I'm loving the device and what it can do and it will get better with updates. I would say try to get the 1tb version for more space for 50$ is worth it.

From playing video games, to searching the web, to playing Modded GTA V (Five M) to DJing a party off of it, this little devices is so handy for all ypur needs on the go. Way better than having to lug a laptop and power brick around. This device fits in your bag and will have you going in seconds after you start up. I feel like i always have a pc setup on me when I travel with this thing. I play a variety of games too. (GTA V, Fortnite, Call Of Duty, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, Apex Legends, Need For Speed Unbound, Forza Motorsport & Horizon 5)

I absolutely love this thing if the title didn't give it away. It wasnt an easy decision to sell my steam deck but the extra performance via the z1 extreme chip convinced me. However, I couldnt have anticipated how much of an upgrade I was truly getting. The 1600p 144hz 8.8 inch display is an absolute game changer. The level of immersion is unreal. But aside from all that the thing that really sells this device in my opinion is the incredible support provided by Lenovo thus far. The legion Go has been out less than 2 months and the update cadence has been unmatched by competing product manufacturers. Ben Myers (lenovo community manager) has provided weekly road map updates on the community forums and sub reddit detaling changes in the software which are largely based on community feedback to begin with. Long story short if you're looking for a windows based pc handheld this thing is unmatched in this writer's opinion.

I love the Legion go screen, but the Z1 Extreme GPU cannot render games on the native screen resolution, and you have to play around with settings to make games works. When u get games running it’s a blast. The fan it get crazy loud, and speakers are not that great because they are not front facing you. The Legion Go thrives with Steam OS. It becomes a better machine.

Desktop replacement with any TB3 egpu. Wide gamut 97% Dci-p3 almost oled quality in the daylight. Is it perfect? No it has its issues, softeare is barely usable but if you tinkered with a pc before this shouldn't be a problem. Best part, It doesn't kill your sd card. Why aren't you buying it yet?

For how much of a premium you pay for a product youd hope software updates would be easy. After many youtube searches and reddit posts later I have my device fully functional and upgraded the ssd to a 2tb. Also run a usb nvme ssd 4tb which all run at their posted speeds. I feel like this device is in its infancy and has great potential with proper support from lenovo.
