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.

At this point and price, id wait to see the new intel offerings in chips since they sound pretty powerful at the same wattage instead of buying this.

Examples are everywhere, but here are a few:
The AI Data Center Moratorium Act: Championed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), this proposed federal legislation would freeze the building or expansion of AI hubs until Congress passes laws to ensure the technology is safe and doesn't worsen consumers' power bills.
Fair Share and Utility Reforms: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has pushed for a regulatory framework that ensures data centers pay higher rates and promote healthy communities rather than shifting the financial burden onto ordinary ratepayers.
In New York, a blue state, state lawmakers in Albany are poised to pass a one-year moratorium on the construction of massive, energy-devouring AI data centers.
In another "blue" state, Southern California communities have taken an aggressive stance against the infrastructure. Monterey Park became one of the first cities in the nation to pass a voter-approved permanent ban on data centers, following similar temporary bans enacted in cities like El Monte, Baldwin Park, and Montebello.
In Washington, the Seattle City Council Committee recently approved a one-year pause on new A.I. data center builds to thoroughly study their environmental and power consumption footprints.
North Carolina & New Jersey: Democratic state officials—such as NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson—are fighting to strip data centers of tax loopholes and mandate separate, higher utility rate classes for them. Similarly, NJ lawmakers are looking to claw back public tax credits being used to subsidize CoreWeave's large AI computing hubs.
There are many more, but again, there is only so much that can be done with the GOP in control of house and senate and executive orders getting signed left and right without congress oversite. Meanwhile, an executive order just gave most AI companies a HUGE boon.... Sounds like there is one "side" most responsible here, you should focus your efforts there.
Now that I provided you some education and clarity on the efforts of the "bleeding hearts". Lets focus on the deal, shall we?
I'd recommend everyone wait to see intel offerings on this, versus paying these prices for 3 year old tech at this point.
