Upvoting, although I was looking at these earlier and the old Legion Go Ryzen Z1 Extreme 16GB/1TB at 599$ (150$ off) seems a bit better deal https://www.bestbuy.com/site/legi...Id=6559604
Kinda thinking I'll pick up one of these near Black Friday, and just get a Switch 2 now...

Good luck with the OG Go's ergonomics in handheld mode. FYI, the dollar sign goes in front. It would be $599, not 599$. Not sure why so many people struggle with such a basic thing.

I have read that it's cultural related. Many European and/or non-English-speaking countries place their symbol after the number.

I have an OG Legion Go. I am able to use it in handheld mode without issues. It is heavy, but the ability to use or not use it is a personal matter.

As for the second comment, in some countries the currency symbol comes after the number. Perhaps you were unaware of that. Why you think that it's necessary to insult people is an entirely different issue. Just a tip: this behavior makes you rude and under-informed in this particular matter. That isn't an insult. That is a fact.

I bought an OG Legion Go. I like it. However it is heavy. Many people recommend getting a comfort grip (sold on Etsy). The only challenges that I have had with the OG Lego are:

1. It requires a lot of power. I had to get a new docking station, batteries, and chargers. The Lego can use up to 90W of power. Ideally it should have a 100W charger. My docking station only handled 60W…it might not have been a big issue, but I upgraded. As for regular chargers. I was using 65-100W chargers for multi device charging. You will need a 140W charger to handle another power hungry device and the Lego at the same time.

2. I had to get a new "gaming bag". It wouldn't fit in the bag that I was using for my Steam Deck. (In many cases this wont be an issue. However my old bag wouldn't work.)

3. Legion Space! Grr. I had to disable it. I use Steam as a launcher. Legion Space got in the way.

Cute reply but this is an American website. Keep simping for foreigners, though. If I'm rude, you're probably some chump barista for a liberal coffee shop. Let me know once you get on my level, son.

Yeah, no, absolutely no one who's used other devices like the Steam Deck or good telescopic controllers like the Razer Kishi Ultra will say the OG Legion Go feels good in handheld mode. Perhaps you're pretty broke and it's the only device you could afford, so I get why you defend it. It's almost adorable, albeit pathetic.
Funny that you think I that the internet only works in one country and that people from other countries cannot buy products here. I am not a liberal or a chump Barista, but keep reaching for unintelligent insults. It makes you look even worse.

On top of that you seem to be missing a lot of the words in my post. I stated that the LeGo was heavy, but I don't have an issue with it. I use the OG Lego, Steam Deck and XBox frequently. Obviously I prefer the Steam deck for ergonomics, but I prefer the Lego for the ability to run Windows only games/apps.

You should probably quit while you are behind.

This is a good price for the Z2Go version, which probably makes it a better purchase over the SteamDeck unless you want the trackpads or the OLED screen.

Just to ensure folks are aware, there are 4 versions of the Legion Go S. Reviews have said while the Z2 GO APU does perform better than a Steam Deck, it struggles with AA-AAA titles.

Steam OS (Dark Purple)

Z2 Go 16GB RAM (the one OP posted)
Z1E 32GB RAM

Windows (White)

Z2 Go 16GB RAM
Z1E 32GB RAM
