I have the Ally, Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go. The Legion Go is the best by far. The Ally feels like a cheap toy after you hold this thing. Haven't noticed any issues with VRR and I think that concern is overblown. Admittedly, I haven't played through my whole game library yet but even AAA games play great. I bought mine open box - excellent and it arrived in new condition, so I'm glad I went that route. Watched an unboxing on YouTube to confirm I had plastic and stickers in all the same places.

Couple of things to avoid a bad experience:
Update your drivers. - DON'T SKIP THIS
Uninstall windows bloatware
Play in performance mode with the OS in "efficiency" mode. Custom 30W mode doesn't work right when running on battery. Also, the device doesn't perform well (compared to the alternatives) at lower TDPs. So you'll almost always want to play in performance mode.
Use Playnite "fullscreen mode" as your launcher. It's excellent. And the Legion Space app is terrible. As users, we really need to start pushing back on this half-baked crap devs have been launching lately.

Edit: I'll add the community support for this device is nothing like the Steam Deck or even the Ally. If you have a problem, you're probably on your own. That's the worst part.

Edit 2: Change your VRAM in the Bios to 4GB. 6GB option is coming soon with a Bios update. 8GB option is also available now.
im not speaking about the price but more for the product. i tried the steamdeck, ROG ally, and even specialty companies like GPD WIN max 2. i can honestly say the Legion Go is the best device out of them all. early youtube reviews are not happy with the software but its been updated so much since release that its near perfect now.
That's part of the neat thing about Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion. There's other ones too that are computer-based but all of these lets you work on them like a normal computer of their type. The Legion runs Windows so you get to put a dock on it, plug in your favorite peripherals like a mouse/keyboard/monitor and just go. Some games runs way better being on a controller like a JRPG, puzzle games, stuff with limited need of buttons and response times. Selling point of these systems is that they're portable enough and similar to a laptop. You can even make it your main rig if you wanted to. Office work? Hook up a scanner, printer and a monitor and go nuts. Zoom/Teams/Google Meet/Webex/Whatever call? Plug in your favorite webcam or use your phone with the appropriate software and go ham.

If this thing had an oled I might be jealous of it over my oled steam deck, but the battery life on that has been pretty good so far

I ordered Excellent a month ago (11/19), look like new, the power adapter wrapping is not even opening yet. I checked on the Lenovo support site, it showed the device was purchased on 11/12. My item is still returnable until 01/13/2024. Love everything about this, except the weight is a bit heavy for long gaming session.

The one I ordered excellent open box had 17 hours on it according to crystal disk info. It looked brand new and still had the plastic on the thumb track pad. The only really obvious thing was the box on the unit itself which is made of card stock had a tear.

This isn't really a "deal" as it's been available at this price for a while now.

Yes, it runs normal Windows and should have no issues with Minecraft. It may not run as well as a higher-end gaming computer, but it will run.
