Which is the better option
Get the legion go s. The 7 inch display is way too small, if you haven’t seen it in person you should go to a Best Buy and look. The main criticism of the legion go S is the battery life but if you primarily play at home you can just play plugged in and if you take it on the go you can literally jus

Is Z2 Go really bad?
Everything is really about the price imo. If the price is close to $499, I would say it's a decent option imo. It's slightly more powerful than Steam deck oled, it has a bigger battery and screen. So for the same price, I would buy Legion go S Z2go

Please help me decide...
I had the GO 1 and used it rarely due to the ergonomics. I have legion go S now and it’s way better. Also for an extra 120 , the 32gb ram makes it worth it . Battery is whatever’s but I’m plugged in or near an outlet with long cable . I prefer the go S

Which handheld would be best value?
And since he's on best buy's website, he can probably find an even more affordable price with open box of the legion go s. Legion Go S has a long battery life than all these options with lossless scaling, just drop the wattage and turn on lossless scaling and VRR. I was able to squeeze a couple hour

Legion go s battery is trash unless you play on low tdp. I love mine but definitely wish it had at least 50% more battery.

There aren't many 8 inch handhelds like the Go S out there
The AOKZOE A1X is a 8” screen device and it’s amazing. It has the same 8” screen as the Claw 8ai, Claw A8, and Legion Go S. In my opinion it’s more comfortable than the Go S. It’s more powerful than the Xbox Ally X, Legion Go 2, and Claw A8. Has a 74w battery. The A1X is my favorite handheld for sur

Steam Deck OLED vs Legion Go (S?) for couch gaming; am I missing a better option?
I have both. My go-to is the Legion Go S, the Z1E version with Steam OS. The ergonomics are great, the screen is bigger and it is more powerful than the SD. I actually bought the SD more recently, mostly because I felt my collection wouldn't be complete without what will probably become a Hallmark c

Choosing the right handheld
I’ve used a Legion Go S (Z1E) for about a year and it’s a good device overall, if you don’t mind the awful battery life and the jet engine sound of the fans under stress.Also, definitely not worth it with the recent price change, if you were considering buy new.Other than that, it ran pretty much ev

MSI Claw 8 ai+ or ROG Xbox Ally X for the same price?
Yes, the Legion Go S Z1E 32GB 2TB and the Legion Go 2 Z2E 32GB 4TB and I like them both so I have 2 and will keep both. I like the LG2 for the bigger Oled screen. But I like the ergonomics of the Legion Go S, it is the best of all handhelds. I have the white Windows version. Battery life was not goo

lost in specifications, can't make my mind up on my gaming handheld
Absolutely love my Lenovo legion go S. I was in the same place you were with deciding. Yeah the battery life isn’t the best but everything else meets my needs perfectly. Chargers exist 🤷🏻♀️
