[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's my favorite gadget, I love that it is a portable gaming machine and PC. The FPS mode is very useful for me for me as I not only use if for FPS games but as a general purpose mouse as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When submitting a claim because a faulty controller. I was figuring it would be a headache as most companies to get them to fix something under warranty is like pulling teeth or you would think they were going bankrupt when fixxing there product. It was pretty easy going with Lenovo. Submitted my ticket online. They just needed some simple information and the address where the new controller would go. With in 2 days i had my new controller. The people at the customer care support was very friendly and wanted to make sure everything was taken care of and is working well. As well as they have done followup to make sure everything is still good. I am very pleased with the service.i love Legion Go. Its been an amazing product.

Not super easy to set up, but with fantastic performance.
I suggest it to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Legion Go is a very solid device in both performance and build quality. Software lacks a bit in features but Lenovo seem to be making updates a priority. Screen is vivid, controllers feel good and responsive, and the SD card reader works (unlike a certain white handheld). Once Lenovo perfects the software the Legion Go will be the top PC handheld.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far my favorite handheld PC on the market. I've had a few others but this one has it beat. It can only get better with more software updates and maybe some new controller grips that are more ergonomically designed.

Loving My Lenovo Legion Go - A True Portable Power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Lenovo Legion Go! Let’s dive into what makes this device stand out.
Build and Design: The screen is stunning, offering vivid colors and sharp details that make gaming a pleasure. The detachable controllers might seem like a gimmick to some, but I find them incredibly useful, especially in FPS mode where I can play in a laptop-like setup without the bulk of a keyboard. To enhance comfort during extended gaming sessions, I added third-party Comfort Grips around the controllers. These grips have made a noticeable difference, providing better ergonomics and support.
Accessory Wishlist: More first-party accessories would be a great addition. Specifically, a keyboard that fits between the two Strike controllers would enhance the gaming experience, combining traditional typing with intuitive gaming controls. Additionally, a USB-C charging port on the keyboard to simultaneously charge the controllers would be a major plus.
Performance: The AMD Z1 Extreme APU is a powerhouse, handling everything I throw at it with ease. However, it’s important to note the battery life doesn’t compare to less powerful devices like the Steam Deck—this is the trade-off for its robust performance.
Software and Updates: Running Windows 11 on 64-bit architecture allows for excellent game compatibility, particularly with AAA titles. A huge fan on the top does a decent job of keeping the device cool. Make sure to update your drivers and software (there are helpful YouTube tutorials for setup). I highly recommend enabling integer scaling in the AMD Adrenaline software to balance game performance and visual quality, especially at 800p.
Future Hopes: I hope Lenovo will push for AMD to support vertical display orientation in their AFMF (frame generation software), as there’s currently no reason it shouldn’t work on this device. Integration with AMD’s software would allow for better full-screen gaming performance for specific games.
Support and Extras: Updates have been slow, presumably as Lenovo collaborates closely with AMD to enhance software compatibility, particularly for the AFMF feature. Despite this, the device has been an excellent purchase—did I mention it even comes with a case?
In conclusion, the Lenovo Legion Go is a fantastic device for anyone seeking powerful gaming performance on the go. While battery life is a compromise, the overall functionality and future potential make it well worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this over a month and so far I really enjoy it, it's super fast and the graphics are quality. I am a lifelong console user, so it was a bit of a jump moving to PC, especially a portable PC, but this makes the transition smoother. I love the detachable controllers on the side, they make it easier when using the stand or you don't want to hold it. I like taking the right controller off and using the base in FPS mode as a mouse, I use it when I play Civ 6 with no issues, using my phone as a 5g hotspot, I was getting anywhere from 30-45 FPS, and could probably get better with settings tuning. I like having the ease of using Steam, Gamepass, or anything else, without being restrained to a standalone system like the switch. it keeps my saves between my xbox and any compatible games. Overall, I love the graphics, the performance, and the controllers. It's a little heavy, and slightly noisy with the fan, but that is to be expected, battery life is around 2 hours depending on the settings and the demand of the game.
