The Legion Go S with the Z1 Extreme is a capable handheld for SteamOS or Windows gaming, with strong performance, a comfortable grip, and a 32 GB memory configuration that helps it feel smoother than 16 GB models. The screen is described as good even though it is not OLED, and dual-boot setups handle Steam, Battle.net, Epic, and Game Pass well. Battery life is the main weakness, landing around 2 to 3 hours depending on the game, and the trackpad is widely described as poor for mouse control. It is a solid option if you value performance and flexibility more than endurance.
Steam library players who want a comfortable handheld, because SteamOS runs Steam games smoothly and the 32GB memory helps performance in demanding titles.
Performance-focused handheld buyers who want strong frame rates, because the Z1 Extreme model runs games well and is described as beating competing handhelds.
Several comments say no: at this price, the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme or Steam Deck OLED are better buys, and the Legion Go S is viewed as overpriced for an open-box unit. A few owners still like the device, but the value case is strongest only when the price drops much lower.
Battery life is limited, with typical use around 2-3 hours depending on the game. It can be enough for shorter sessions, but it is not a strong choice for long flights or extended unplugged play.
Yes. Dual-booting SteamOS and Windows works well, with Steam games running smoothly on SteamOS and Windows handling Battle.net, Epic, and Game Pass titles through a separate partition.
Yes. Open-box units should be checked to make sure they are not already registered before purchase, and a 3-year warranty is recommended for extra protection.
I miss the days when you could expect these to be under $500 open box. I know never this model but still. Hard for me to justify more than $500 on a handheld no matter the specs. I assume many are using these with monitors and a keyboard and mouse as their primary system.
Considering getting the Legion go 2 open box, and saving $160, and just replacing the controllers and battery after some abuse.
Anyways, make sure to get the 3 year warranty. Lenovo is cheaper than BB's. But getting it with an open box, you need to make sure its not registered prior..I think?
800 dollars for open box in fair condition? Insane. The best way to respond to these price hikes is to let them rot on shelves. I'm glad I got my Legion Go 2 Z2 Extreme for the original launch price. Thank you for posting the deal though.
