Lenovo Legion Go with Z1 Extreme now costs $999 after launching at $699 two years ago

Quite by accident (I didn’t want to buy it and was just looking for a solution to stream from my PC, and I was leaning more toward Gamesir for my tablet) but I saw the Legion Go S in the base configuration for $568, and given the upward trend in prices, I thought it would be a good deal. After that,

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

If your Steam Deck Broke, Would You Buy Another One or a Different Handheld?

I, too, side graded to a Legion Go S SteamOS. For me, it is the Steam Deck 2. The same thing, but better in every way. The bigger, higher resolution screen makes a huge difference to me, as does the much better performance. It can run everything at 1080p, so I regularly plug it into the TV. When I d

Two amazing deals - which one do I keep?

How so? I own both of these handhelds and the Legion Go S is really just a Steam Deck with better specs and a worse track pad. I prefer the Legion for the larger screen and the fact that it’s a better docking experience for playing on a larger display due to the ability to bump up the TDP to 40W whe

Genuine question: aren’t most PC games NOT made to be played on a handheld?

Most certainly aren’t made with handhelds in mind but most modern PC games support controllers which is pretty much the same thing. I’ve only had experience with my Legion Go S which uses the same software as a Steam Deck and you can easily tweak the controls even if they’re not made with controller

Legion Go S on windows switch to steamOS

Same hardware. The issue with the track pad is resolved with a firmware update prior to switching to steam os. The process is incredibly simple. I got my legion go s with windows on sale and did the switch and had no issues with it. This is the tutorial I followed: https://youtu.be/CCsEkwScviQ?si=jI

Steam Deck OLED vs Legion Go (S?) for couch gaming; am I missing a better option?

I was just deciding between a Legion Go S(pre price hike) and Steam Deck OLED myself, but ultimately went with the Go S just because it was readily available and in stock. I have a very similar use case with a higher end PC for AAAs or anything I want a bigger screen experience out of, and then a lo

Should we get Steam controller?

This controller will be perfect at playing PC games when my Legion Go S is connected to my TV

Help with PS3 Controls

Also, the controller layout template I'm using is called "RetroDECK: Legion GO S v1.0" and it works flawlessly in the PSP game, allowing me to press select/start to close the emulator and go back to the ES-DE menu. However when I boot into the PS3 game no input buttons work except the Steam button a
