I'm returning my Legion Go S after buying a Legion Go gen 1 and putting Steam OS onto it
It's amazing how different people can be. I find the Go S to be one of the most comfortable handhelds out there. If they just slapped an OLED with VRR into a Go S and left everything else exactly the same I'd be super happy and wouldn't have bought a Legion Go 2.

Anyone came back to SD OLED after other more powerful handhelds?
Haven’t gone back yet BUT! Had a Steam Deck LCD. Gave it to a family member because I got a Legion Go for a very low price. Loved the screen. Did not love the ergonomics. Installed SteamOS on it as soon as the Legion Go S came out and Steam supported it officially. Ergonomics continued to irk me. Th

Two amazing deals - which one do I keep?
As a person who has both, yep, legion go s is defo better choice. Steam deck is great, but bigger screen and more power - better fps/graphics and less eye strain for longer game sessions

That rumor actually got walked back. Lenovo US officially confirmed to PCWorld that they're supporting the original Legion Go with driver and BIOS updates through October 2029, and said the Korean support message that started the panic was miscommunicated or mistranslated. The real knock is that the

If your Steam Deck Broke, Would You Buy Another One or a Different Handheld?
I sidegraded to the Legion Go S SteamOS version and I've sworn to never buy anything else but a Steam Deck again. While on paper it seems great, more power, better screen, steamOS, more ram, more everything. It also has it's downsides you realize when you actually use it daily. It's bulky and heavy

How much more of a performance boost do you get if you install SteamOs on your Legion Go 2 ? I want to switch from Windows but I’m not to computer savvy so not sure if it’s even worth it
It's not just the performance increase, but the qol that makes a big difference. Especially if you're not computer savvy. I am computer savvy and went for a Legion Go S with SteamOS because I didn't want to deal with the Windows headaches, I just want to play games on something that works. SteamOS i

I finally have one!
I've owned so many handhelds, from the Steam Deck to the Lenovo Legion Go S. But this device has impressed me with its performance and ergonomics.🤩

Should I sell for Xbox Rog Ally?
I had the XAX and returned it due to windows issues and having to deal with them. Updates and what not, not working. So I bought the Steam Legion Go S Z1 extreme and I like it a lot more. Yes the XAX was comfy too hold but it is still bulky. It's pretty thick. I have larger hands and really like the

I actually think hand size has a tremendous amount to do with it. My hands are extremely long and slender, and the Legion Go S is by far the most comfortable handheld I’ve held - including the XAX, which doesn’t fit my hands nearly so well and leads to hand cramps for me without some sort of grip or

Can't decide.....
I had the exact same predicament, and for the same reasons - much as I loved the Go 2, I couldn’t game with it for more than hour or so at a time because it was so uncomfortable to hold, while the Legion Go S I could play on for hours. I wound up getting a pair of Comfort Grips that made the Go 2 MU
