H**!
Powerful console. Windows 11 is totally fine.
I bought the Legion Go used, listed as in “very good” condition, and to my relief, it really was—basically like new. However, one major issue made my first few hours with the device basically a nightmare. It came with Windows 11 Pro installed, but the device is licensed only for Windows 11 Home. Since I didn’t own a Pro license, I had to wipe the system and do a full reinstall of Windows 11 Home via USB. (Be very careful with which partitions you delete.) If you’re buying used, be ready with a USB drive, a copy of Windows 11 Home (available free from Microsoft), and ideally a plug-in keyboard. If you’re buying new, this won’t be a problem. (If you accidentally delete another partition for other drivers, reinstalling Windows may not install them, but you can install them with the USB you have. Someone I know did that...)As for the console itself—overall, I like it. It’s powerful and the screen looks fantastic. The buttons are mostly fine, though the joysticks don’t feel as firm as PS5 or Xbox sticks, which I consider to be excellent. That said, I usually play FPS games with mouse and keyboard, so take that with a grain of salt. The Go’s software lets you tweak joystick dead zones, which really can help make the joysticks feel less bad in FPS games. Windows vs Steam vs Bazzite? This is a PC with joysticks—Windows runs normally, and the Steam app (*not* the OS) works as expected. I appreciate being able to play anti-cheat games like Destiny 2, so Windows 11 is actually a plus. This is a Windows PC. If you hook a mouse and keyboard to it, you have a Windows PC with detachable joysticks (the built in stand is a plus). The Legion software seems a bit inconsistent, but it hasn’t caused problems. I don't really interact with it. The dedicated performance tuning app (tied to a separate physical button) is genuinely useful. Battery life depends on what you’re playing. I get about 50 minutes unplugged while pushing it hard (Path of Exile 2 on aggressive settings), but indie titles on power-saver do better. That said, battery life isn’t great—expect to be near an outlet for heavier games. (I mainly use it for heavier games.) Overall, I like the Legion Go. I'm not a heavy portable gamer, but I appreciate the added convenience and continuity of gaming that it provides. It's a chunky device but it feels well made. I like that I can plug a mouse and keyboard in and play FPS games, or use it as a portable game console with the attached controllers.

Great screen, blazing fast and powerful.
It blows the G-Cloud out the freaking water 😎 Great device. I bought this to play God of War and SFV on steam and it did not disappoint. Beautiful screen. High performance graphic. Def worth the 5 stars for me coming from the Logitech G-Cloud that I paid 299.99 plus tax for, way overpriced for what that thing is and isn't. Some things to note. It's heavy, so it takes getting used to. The analog thumbsticks feel like it can be better, lacks a premium feel to it but it's not bad at all. Booting up the first time was a chore with updates and installations but that is expected with these things. Definitely gonna be spending lots of hours on this thing. Get yourself some accessories like screen protector, bigger case, and a protector for the small mouse pad.

No regrets
It's been so long since I had a handheld gaming console. The last one I had I think was the turbo graphics 16, and this was back in 1992! Anyways, I was planning on getting the PS5 but decided on a handheld and after doing some research. I went with this. Love how big the screen is and how you can detach the controllers. Don't care too much about windows but it's cool that it's there. I already upgraded the battery to a 81wh. Now I'm planning to add a 4tb ssd and a 2tb micro SD card. Been playing with it daily and overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Impressive and Immersive – A Great Complement to the Steam Deck OLED
I'm reviewing the Legion Go as someone who also owns the Steam Deck OLED—and I love this thing. Gaming on the Legion Go is incredibly immersive thanks to its large, sharp, and colorful display. Coming from an all-LG OLED TV household and OLED deck owner, that’s saying a lot.Battery life is just okay, but that’s expected for a device this powerful. The speakers are also just okay—probably my biggest gripe, especially when compared to the Steam Deck OLED.A major plus is the versatility of the removable controllers. They really open up new ways to play.The only other downside I’ve noticed is the weight. It’s definitely noticeable, and I sometimes feel minor fatigue after longer sessions, depending on my posture.

Takes time to be perfect.
I had to change my review. I decided to change my approach to the device. This is not a Steam Deck, and I shouldn’t try to have made it one. Could it be a better version of the Steam Deck? No. The Steam Deck has a vibrant OLED monitor, better battery, and better ergonomics. But that’s not the what Legion Go is trying to be. It’s a Lenovo Legion built handheld PC, and I started treating it that way. I use Windows 11 at home and decided to use the LeGo like that on the go, and it’s turned into an amazing product.Learn how to sideload drivers. Get a 100W charger and a great dock from UGREEN. Be patient, and this device will find a way to fit your life.
