Lenovo Legion Go 8.8" 144Hz WQXGA Handheld Touchscreen Gaming PC AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Shadow Black, 8APU1

This thing is incredible. I wasn't sure whether I should get the steamdeck, ROG Ally, or Legion Go. I am so glad I got this. I love how versatile this thing is. Works great for modern games as works amazingly as an emulator.This can be used a handheld console, or you can detach the controllers and have a more home console feel. With the controllers detached, it also works incredibly well as a tablet for getting work done or watching movies/shows. This may also be better for bring to certain workplaces over a steamdeck or ROG Ally because of the detachable controllers. You can bring it to work without bring any attention to yourself because it can look like a normal tablet instead of a giant game boy with the controllers attached.The screen was the biggest factor in me buying this though, and it does not disappoint. That giant screen makes it hard to go back to the competition. Not just the size, but the resolution, and color accuracy is just beautiful. You may not be able to play AAA modern titles on High settings with the max 1600p resolution, but you can scale it down to meet your needs and it still looks incredible. For me the resolution is not overkill, because I can still take advantage of the max resolution when emulating classic games, and movies and shows look incredible with the 1600 resolution on this device.The kickstand is AMAZING. It may seem trivial, and it did to me at first, I had no idea how useful this kickstand was going to be and to have it be built into the device without needing any kind of case or accessory is so convenient.I've had this device for about a month, and I guess they must have updated and patched the Legion Space software quite a bit since it's released because I haven't had any issues with it. I love that this runs on windows and has all the potential that comes with it, but I can also use things like Legion Space and Steam Big Picture to have a simplified console UI if I want as well. With a couple accessories like a keyboard and a USB hub, this Legion Go has essentially replaced my xbox, my laptop, my gaming pc, and all my handhelds. I can do everything I need on this one device. By far my favorite purchase this year so far, could not recommend it enough.

This has been my daily driver for 6 months now. When I first received it I logged in registered it with Lenovo and then immediately removed windows and installed Linux (CachyOS a Steam Deck Variant). I am a Docked user almost exclusively. For my use case this is the only Handheld on the market obviously your use case may change this. I mostly only use the tablet. It is great within the limitations of what you are getting. I am writing my review on this with a hub and peripherals attached.ProsTablet Mode makes it stealthy and I can use it at work docked.Well builtFeels solidLinux performance is greatScreen is beautiful.Controllers have been great when I use them(have never once used FPS mode so I can't speak to that)ConsIf using in handheld mode it can be fatiguing.Fan can be loudStorage could be higher.Finding cases for it can be challenging.It is a big boy.

With appropriate performance expectations this is a great gaming handheld, you can emulate basically all consoles up to PS3 and play them well along with playing PC games at reasonable settings. Keep in mind the integrated graphics on this are not going to match a dedicated graphics card, but setting the resolution and quality low will enable you to play a lot of AAA PC games.I own this and the original ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, I find myself preferring this handheld thanks to the larger screen though I wish the resolution was lower on this device and the screen was VRR. At 1600p this screen is very sharp, though it would still be sharp at 1200p considering a 24-inch monitor is plenty sharp at 1080p. Colors on this device are vibrant and it gets bright enough for me. I wish it was HDR for an improved picture but that's probably in works for the future.Speakers are okay with this, top-firing was an odd choice. They get plenty loud and sound alright but the ROG Ally is superior here. The speakers are more than serviceable though.Controls are great for the most part. The sticks work great and feel very comfortable to use. The device overall is comfortable to hold and use plus you can set this up using the included kickstand and detach the controllers or use a third-party controller. All the face buttons are great though the d-pad is much more inset than I expected and sort of odd. The triggers are great and I have no issues with them. I understand the choice for the buttons on the back of the device as they are not symmetrical, but it takes some adjustment to get used to. The FPS mode for having mouse control is pretty neat and just adds to the flexibility of this device. No issues with the touchscreen or touchpad, touchpad is on the small side though.Performance wise, without a frame counter on screen this feels the same as my ROG Ally at basically the same resolutions and settings. I can't discern a performance difference in any games without looking at specs on screen.Would I recommend this device? Possibly, if you want a gaming handheld now and are not interested in waiting for the new generation, then yes. New handhelds will be releasing with the newer generation of AMD processors, these will perform better than the current generation by a substantial amount thanks to the newer integrated graphics. I'd readily recommend this over the original ROG Ally Z1 Extreme for several reasons: integrated kickstand, larger screen, included case, the Legion Go has not ruined a 1TB micro-SD card for me, more features, etc. The Legion Go battery is also lasting longer than my ROG Ally which has been great. Realistically, a laptop may be a better choice depending on your needs, you can get a lot more performance and some user upgradability past storage.
