[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Legion go is a huge entry into the handheld gaming market by Lenovo. Unlike the other hand held on the market, it really sets out to differentiated itself by being a huge disruptor, both in terms of price and form factor. It’s right up there with the ROG Ally, in terms of specs, if not slightly better in some areas, also differentiating itself by doing things outside the box, such as the switch like removable controllers. The screen is extremely vibrant and before the steam deck OLED came out, was definitely the best on the market. it’s definitely one of the biggest selling points for the handheld. That being said, there are some initial growing pains, the software experience with legion space still has some kinks to work out. It needs much more refinement that it will, hopefully in the future. Overall, after having had the steam deck, and the ally, previously, the Legion go is my for sure, go to handheld PC.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love it! Always wanted a good gaming pc but have always been console for financial reasons. Bit the bullet and bought a Legion. Great quality and price. Sorry dusty ps5 😅
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice design. Wish it was easier to dual boot into a Linux distro since Windows alone absorbs a decent amount of the specs and power from the hardware.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m more of PC game but this Legion go handheld PC change my perspective about handheld gaming PC. I’ve seen other handheld gaming PC but so far Legion go surpassed all of them with the amazing screen size and gameplay without lagging. All the AAA games that I currently have on my Legion Go are all running flawlessly. Like Alan Wake 2, Ready or Not, Red Redemption 2, Far Cry 6 and few others. I wouldn’t recommend no other handheld gaming PC other Legion go. FYI my legion go device is called The Beast. Thanks to the Lenovo team who put this device together 🙌🏽🙌🏽
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is awesome! I am just getting back into gaming after a several year hiatus and this is the perfect device for it. I live in an RV so space is limited, therefore having a full sized PC isn’t the best option for me. The size of this thing is great making it easy to game wherever I feel comfortable in my home. The case is sturdy and protects the decide well for travel. It easily fits in my backpack. Also I love that the controllers detach, making for a console like experience. I wish Lonovo provided an attachment standard with the device for the controllers to clip into, but I found a 3d printed controller attachment on Etsy that works great. The lonovo legion space could use some work and as most of you know Windows 11 on the device has its bugs but these are very minor things for me and don’t really tarnish my experience much. I open steam most of the time to access my games. I have not used FPS mode much but it seams like a great feature to have available. Anyway I have had the device for several weeks and I have no complaints so far. Happy gaming!
