Lenovo Legion Go 8.8" 144Hz WQXGA Handheld Touchscreen Gaming PC AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Shadow Black, 8APU1

Although this is not as good as a desktop computer, the overall performance is amazing. It can play most games with relatively good graphics and frames. You can go back and forth between graphic settings to adjust it depending on the game itself. For example, I am able to play Resident Evil remake 2 and 3 with steady 60-80 frames and great graphic settings. On the other hand, more demanding games such as Lords of the Fallen 2023 has to be in low settings so that I can play with around 50-60 frames. The battery itself lasts for around 2 to 4 hours depending on the game that you are playing such as metroidvania or AAA games. You do have to do some initial changes on the settings and bios for a better performance, but it is pretty simple since there are tons of guides for this. The screen quality and the controllers are amazing. You can use it as if it was a Nintendo Switch and detach the controllers and play in tabletop mode, however, you can't use them as 2 controllers like the switch can. Portability is great and comes with a hard travel case. Price is a little steep for some people, especially if you are trying to get into PC gaming. If so, I would suggest going for an actual desktop PC instead. However, having the portability and ease of use of wherever and whenever you want to its worth it. I play with my brother who lives in Mexico, whenever I go to visit him, I still take my Legion Go and can keep playing the same PC games with him in the same room. Overall, great experience and would 100% recommend this.

TLDRGaming Performance: 7/10Value For Money: 10/10Build Quality: 8/10Ergonomics: 10/10Battery: 7/10Portability: 7/10Full review:All of the performance of a mid level gaming laptop in an even smaller package. But unlike gaming laptops, Legion Go can actually do the gaming part on its own battery power. The CPU is very fast as well, so for general productivity it's great. Thermals seem good, the fans are pretty quiet. The display is beautiful. It really looks fantastic.The main unit is very well built, i'd say the side controllers are built ok but don't seem to attach to the main unit as firmly as i'd like. The controllers are very comfortable and felt like second nature to me as an occasional Xbox user. I was able to jump into Fortnite and start getting eliminations with no problem.Battery life is your choice, as you can control how many watts the CPU can use. When gaming to its absolute limit I was able to get what seemed like over an hour of usage with some power left to spare.While on battery, I got Fortnite to run smoothly at 90fps with some medium-ish settings on DX12 and 1080p, and I got Teardown (with some very demanding mods) to run smoothly on low settings at 1080p. Both games looked great.The one thing that truly bothers me is that the travel case does NOT include space for the charging brick. Not sure how that got overlooked.The built in speakers are bad. HOWEVER, I installed Dolby Access from the microsoft store and using its customizable EQ in that I was able to boost the low end and got them sounding decent enough.

Like the title says this thing is very versatile, play it handheld, prop it on a desk with the kickstand and use the detachable controllers, or dock it in to a monitor/tv turn the right controller into fps(mouse mode) mode hook up a keyboard and work away at any of your productivity tasks.I purchased this to replace 3 different devices in my bag so that I had less to carry and juggle around. The Legion Go delivered on every note I needed it for and even more.Ships with windows 11 , which I used long enough to update the firmware and test for a bit before deciding to put Bazzite os(a lightweight linux distro aimed at offering a similar experience to the steamdeck.) Because I mainly use linux on all of my other devices and it is just a much more efficient and effective OS for a handheld like this.Performance is great, this included picture is monster hunter world running at a locked 30fps at 1920x1200 resolution medium high mix of settings.I have played elden ring with similar settings to similar results, baldurs gate 3, halo infinite, the finals, and all 3 of the dark souls games (these run wonderfully at 60fps no problem), and all of the games perform great.Overall comfort is good, not the best and the device is a bit hefty, but I expected that going into it. I have played 4 hour sessions with no complaints in handheld form, of course propping the system up with the kickstand and detaching the controllers is even more comfortable.I have done some light video editing work using openshot and davinci resolve, both ran fine for some short videos.Battery life varies of course depending on your tdp, the sweet spot for efficiency and power seems to be right around 22-25 w and in mhw I get about 1.5 to 2 hours of gameplay. Boosting the tdp could certainly give you a big performance jump but battery life will go down accordingly.Lighter games like emulation or hades can run at lower tdp perfectly well and go for up to 3 hours.The included charger and case are nice, although the case does not have space for the charger which is a bit annoying but I can live with that.Overall I have been enjoying this device, and being able to slim down what I carry on my day to day has been really convenient.
