The Legion Go S with the Z1 Extreme stands out as a comfortable handheld with a strong 32 GB memory configuration, a good non OLED screen, and solid performance for Steam games and Windows launchers. Dual booting SteamOS and Windows works well, and the extra RAM helps it run demanding titles smoothly. Battery life is the main weakness, landing around 2 to 3 hours depending on the game, and the trackpad is poor for mouse navigation. Open box units have also been described as arriving in mint condition, making it a capable but battery limited handheld.
Steam library players who want a Windows dual-boot handheld, because SteamOS runs buttery smooth and the Windows partition handles Battle.net, Epic, and Game Pass.
At this price, several comments say it is poor value versus alternatives like the ROG Ally X, Steam Deck OLED, or waiting for newer Intel-based handhelds. The main reasons are the high price and the Legion Go S's weaker battery life compared with some rivals.
Battery life is reported as a weak point, with roughly 2-3 hours depending on the game and less for heavier titles. That makes it fine for short sessions, but not ideal for long trips without charging.
Yes. The 32GB configuration is described as noticeably better than 16GB models on the same APU, especially for smoother performance and fewer memory limits in games.
Yes. A dual-boot setup with SteamOS and Windows is reported to work well, letting Steam games run on SteamOS while Windows handles Battle.net, Epic Games Store, and Game Pass titles.
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.
