Needs work, but definite potential. Worth the buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Legion Go, and there was some serious innovative thought put into the design. I own all the major PC gaming handhelds now, and I can say the Legion Go has features many others lack.
Stuff like multiple USB C ports, the kickstand and the mobile FPS mode. The screen is nice, however I wish Lenovo would have opted for a 1080p panel instead of the 1600p panel, as the Ryzen Z1 Extreme really targets 1080p or less performance-wise. The speakers are also, to put it bluntly, absolute garbage.
A fingerprint scanner would have been nice, and the system software isn't nearly as polished as the Go's competitors. Overall though, this is a great first model and future revisions or models will address some of the issues. The Legion Space software will get better as time goes on, but it certainly needs a lot of work. It is definitely worth the purchase, however. Changing settings and getting the system tuned can net some impressive performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love my legion go! It has single-handedly reignited my gaming passion so much so that it feels like my first time gaming as a kid. Gaming on the legion go has been the best gaming experience I have ever had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick breakdown:
1) the screen is gorgeous but it's a vertical screen set to horizontal so you're going to run into some problems with some games
2) the controls are ok. They'll be better when you can fully map them like other handhelds that are named after what happens when water gets really hot. Right now you have to install a 3rd party app to get that level of control
3) Windows is cool, but it makes this a handheld computer and less of a gaming system.
4) Legion Space is really bad right now. It's getting better but I disabled it and boot into the gaming platform that is what happens when water gets really hot.
5) the controllers have pretty bad ergonomics. They dig into the heels of my hands and reaching the triggers and bumpers is kind of a pain. The Hall Effect joysticks are nice but they're too soft for my liking. Face buttons are good. The Legion buttons are bad and start and select buttons are all awkward and we need a way to completely rebind them all.
6) the system is quite heavy
7) heat isn't too bad
8) performance is mostly good with a few games working weird. There's options to change TDP and fan and graphics and such so it's getting better.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wasn't a tinkerer or a Windows user right now. Maybe soon?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best gaming pc I ever own! I have a gpd win 4, steam deck, and the Legion go! Legion Go is the best gaming system out here!
The screen size and grip makes this the best gaming system! I will not go back to the other systems! I will sell my steam deck and gpd win 4!
