[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Legion Go is the handheld that combines several tactics for comfort. I find myself just disconnecting the legion controllers and using the device as a gaming tablet the most. The Switch like atmosphere was easy to adapt to but I still find myself using my series elite controller vs the hand held grips. Even after the handheld has served it's purpose, it also serves as a mobile pc for the office.
It does suffer from a few standby issues as I may need to cold boot the device from steam sometimes but performance for it's design is pretty dang good. Don't buy this device expecting high performance but mobile quality. The screen may push 144hz but you may never hit that in a triple A game. Turn it down to 60hz and save your battery life.
Destiny 2, Remant 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo infinite at my finger tips.
Also using a USB type c cable to shoot my screen to a bigger monitor is a plus. Also the FPS mode is really innovative.
I'd love to see key bindings to the legion buttons other than to summon legion space (of which I've un-installed)
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lenovo Legion Go was probably the best purchase I have ever made in my entire life, I used to have the Asus rog ally but I saw the legion go and I just immediately switched, back when I was little I only dreamed of having something like this, back then it only was just in the imagination and it became true, i can literally play anything on it and the best part is that I can take it to work or go anywhere and play. the best gaming handheld of all time.

Lenovo Legion Go - The Good, the bad, and the ugly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The materials utilized appear robust, and the outward elements were meticulously constructed. But there are a ton of flaws in the software, it lacks several essential functionality, and it occasionally crashes. Additionally, for certain drivers to function flawlessly with specific games, they must be manually updated. I'm talking about the graphics card. In addition, if you play games for extended periods of time, the clicking sound that your D-pad buttons make gets bothersome.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went with the Rog Ally. I returned my GO for reasons that might be minor but when I got the Ally, I felt like Home. The GO body is a fingerprint Super Magnet, makes it look cheap, and please notice I say "look" not feel, GO feels high quality for the weight, a tad on the heavy side, plastics feel good quality also. Ally is all white, so no visual fingerprints and the body feels good in my hands, like I am holding an Xbox Controller, which is good for me. Liked the GO screen size. Ally has darker blacks, more vibrant colors.
With the GO I got the remorse of hopes for future updates. I felt like I bought an unfinished product. Ally, ran Games like a charm after debloating Windows. Which I needed to do it on the GO as well anyway. But felt more ready to play games than the GO. I did not mind the detachable controllers, I never liked the SWITCH, so no big attraction here for me. the FPS mode is just overkill, just attach a mouse to the thing and done.
Maybe I will wait for the GO 2. Or when the price is lower. I got the Ally Extreme for almost $200 lower than the GO. Big decision making reason as well.
Bye for now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Almost perfect handheld computer. I have such an active lifestyle that theres little time for me to sit at my desk and actually game so this has been great for picking up and playing something wherever I am, in my house, in the car, on the train, whatever.
It has the power and flexibility to really replace my PC for gaming. I dont play just steam games so this gave me the flexibility to play a breadth of games without sacrificing stability and it has the power to back it up. I have been playing spiderman remastered, I can get 1080p mid-high settings, 30fps, and get 3 hours of play time. Its a very impressive amount of life tbh. All that to power the gorgeous 8.8 inch display, Its the perfect size for media consumption and playing games on. And it can be adjusted very quickly for quality and refresh rate depending on the game. I dont feel the need to put it on another display for any reason. Additionally, the upgradability is also very handy. Can attach and external GPU and upgrade the SSD for more storage. I was very disappointed by the microSD slot. I could not install games on it.
I have a couple criticisms. This is a device for tinkerers. I dont mind adjusting my settings constantly but I understand a lot of people wont. The legion space interface is not user friendly, I got trapped on the store front multiple times unable to leave. Windows is not nice to navigate with a controller but not the legions fault. Its difficult to use the controller but the touch screen makes up the difference. Also not a pick up and play device, sleep on windows isnt nice and I cant puase my game and leave the device in sleep mode, it will die very quickly. Its closer to a laptop than it is to a console but thats what I expected but not everyone wants that.
All in all im very happy with, windows is the biggest limitation but also provides most of the flexibility. Its a difficult thing to balance but I still think lenovo did about as good as they could on this platform.
