Community Reviews
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.
The device can run SteamOS and Windows via dual-boot, which keeps Steam games smooth while enabling Battle.net, Epic, and Game Pass access.
The 32GB RAM configuration can improve performance versus 16GB handheld models while still running the games with decent frame rates.
The open-box condition can arrive essentially brand new, making the purchase feel like a near-new unit for some buyers.
The Z1 Extreme model is reported to deliver strong performance after OS optimization and can still be working perfectly later.
Battery life is reported to be weak, with typical playtime around two to three hours depending on the game.
The trackpad is reported to be unusable for mouse navigation, which limits productivity or pointer-based gameplay.
The open-box deal price is criticized as poor value compared with alternatives like Ally Z1e or Steam Deck OLED at similar money.
Open-box purchases may require checking whether the unit is already registered before buying, which adds a potential hassle.

These price increases will only cause less people to get into gaming and I can see the whole industry a steep decline.

The unit itself is great. I have found myself gaming much more. It's comfortable to hold and the screen is nice (Not OLED of course, but still good). The 32 Megs of RAM really make a difference vs other handhelds with the m this APU but only have 16 Megs. It runs everything I have thrown at it with decent frame rates and settings. You won't do a cross country flight without running out of battery, but can get 2-3 hours depending on the game (maybe more for less demanding titles)
The one call out is the track pad.... It's junk. Like can barely navigate a mouse pointer bad. If you are looking at using it heavily for whatever games you play, another unit might be .
Again, super pleased with mine.
the lesser Z1 version came out at the same time, 'OG' doesn't mean 'non extreme version'
the lesser Z1 models made-up like 5% of their sales, thing's are and were basically always irrelevant
if you know how to optimize the operating system the legion go OG z1e handedly beats the Ally and mops the floor with the Steamdeck.
$460 1tb and 2 year warranty on the OG legion GOs at one point.
(Everyone was afraid of refurbished like you're throwing the money out the window.) Still have mine, it was mint when I got it, still working perfectly
Ebay used and refurbished stuff is your friend folks
between eBay money back guarantee and PayPal there is no risk!
zotac zone which has a Z1 extreme equivalent apu with 780m graphics. $720 open box
