[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vibrant & bigger screen. So far playing my games on this Legion Go has been a great experience.
I'm thumbs up for a great gaming handheld device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best handheld PC for gaming hand's down. I have replaced my desktop computer with the Go as well and couldn't be happier or more productive and what an ease to pick up and play and work anytime anywhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. Once you unlock all its features. There are even some hacks to play Steam games.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They hit it out of the park with this one... mostly. Thankfully the little annoyances can be either patched with the software, or 3rd party resolved with the grips and controllers.
Likes:
Beautiful screen (Y U no OLED?),
large screen (cant stress how much better this is with the extra 1.8")
detachable controllers,
very fast,
kickstand is awesome.
Has a touchpad on the right.
FPS mode with mouse is neat.
Full thunderbolt eGPU support, dont need Asus' overpriced proprietary cards.
Dual USB C.
System works extremely well docked as a standalone computer.
The MicroSD card slot actually works. uses 2243 NMVe, easier to get larger cards (just make sure they only have chips on ONE side.)
Hall effect sticks
Works GREAT to stream from moonlight at full 1600p @ 144 Hz.

Dislikes:
legion space is hot garbage, slow, awkward, bloated, and lacking - just a promotional storefront in the way of the settings panel. We dont need another launcher, just a device-specific management program. Hopefully they polish it up. No VRR, display is portrait mode. Controllers have the buttons too close to the thumbsticks on the right side. The legion space button and settings button are right where the menu and back buttons should be, and those are in an awkward place on the left controller - accidentally launching legion space when you meant to pause suuuuuucks, FPS mode is a solution in search of a problem - really need to use a 3d-printed cover for the rest of the controller so it doesnt hurt. Edges of the controllers dig in to your palms.

Overall, this is the handheld to get in 90% of cases. Steam deck is too slow, ROG Ally is half baked. Go for this, it's more future proof. Once the 3rd party accessories start coming out, it will be even better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great screen, good controllers, more po. My only issue is the windows and Lenovo game software are clunky compared to the steamos. Hopefully the linux options become fully compatible with the legion go hardware.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An innovative Windows gaming handheld that’s worth the price. In a market of handhelds. Lenovo found a way to do something different. Larger screen and improved controls make this a must buy for gamers
