Really good deal, although Walmart had these NEW for $650 a couple months ago... Yeah, yeah, no time machine, BUT BP is right around the corner, so who knows... Since, you can return it, might be worth it to get one and see what deals happen. 🤔

To me, this is the best Z1E handheld.

8" 1200p with 120Hz VRR. (7" Ally wasn't cutting it for my old eyes...)
32gb RAM (More than all of the other Lenovo, Asus, MSI handhelds... Even the newest XBox Ally X (Only 24gb, slightly faster APU though))
Dual USB4 ports (Especially useful for eGPUs)... Although, I'm not sure if they can be used in SteamOs or Bazzite... 🤔🤷 ♂️ They work with Windows.
Ergonomics are so comfortable.
I personally don't care for the Legion Go 2 detachable grips... Or the price. ☠️☠️☠️
PS: You can easily install Windows 11 on this or Dual boot if you want. Windows will allow playing online games that use anti-cheat and eGPUS.

Will this play apex legends since it's available on steam?
It should but you have to check the game is compatible with steam OS. Steam OS might conflict with the anti-cheat of the game.


Z1 extreme hardware is more than capable of running it tho. With lossless scaling software (can buy it on steam) you can run any game that's available as long as it is compatible with the OS.

Can this run FortNite at 240 fps?
No, but even if it could, the screen is only 120Hz anyway

got this with price match when walmart had it for 650 and love it. Got the windows version that came with 1 month of free xbox game pass from bestbuy and 3 months from lenovo.
I think it is on par with the new asus xbox ally x. Z2 extreme is 20% faster than z1 extreme which this one got.
But ally x has 24 gb ram and this has 32gb ram that you can assign the 8gb different in bios to gpu so it gives more power for the gpu.

Super happy with it.

Has anyone seen if there are any Black Friday sales coming up on Legion Go series of handhelds or the Rog Ally series of handhelds? I'm wondering if I should jump on this or wait and see if something else comes along.
Somewhere on legion go subreddit there is a rumor that 1tb legion go OG version will be on sale for 500$ at bestbuy.

Looks like you're referring to this deal, which was for the Glacier White/Windows version. I thought this was still a nice deal considering the surge in RAM prices in the last two months. Thanks for the info and comment! Smilie

I have this exact device. I play it daily.

Only complaint is battery could be bigger. Otherwise it's great.

Hits 40w TDP plugged in. Screen is great. Easy to upgrade the SSD.

Yikes. Don't quit your day job to become a comedian. That was rough... to put it nicely.

I just picked up the white Xbox Ally for $450 at BestBuy (fair). Seemed like a nice deal.

That's about what it's worth, as it should perform around the same as a Steam Deck OLED at 15w, and slightly outperform it at 20w. The Steam Deck tops out at 15w.

It's not a bad handheld, but it is definitely not worth the $600 MSRP.

Picked up an excellent condition yesterday morning and already swapped it to Windows. Trying to get all the other launchers working was a PITA. I have games in GOG, Epic, and Ubisoft as well as steam. Ultimately Ubisoft Connect was the nail in the coffin before I installed windows. I tried multiple guides and apparently they've updated the launcher so the most recent version doesn't work with the typical proton-experimental launch process in steamos?
I installed assassins creed origins yesterday and had no issues with Ubisoft connect, it was a two factor authentication login. The game worked great on steamos.

Yep. And if you don't like Windows, you can install SteamOs or Bazzite. The hardware is identical. Just the color is different.

Just ordered one in excellent condition - sadly none available for pickup near me. Does anyone else who ordered one in excellent condition get one in that condition?
