The Lenovo Legion Go S is praised for its powerful performance, bright large screen, comfortable controls, and smooth Steam OS experience. Battery life is a common downside but charging is quick. Build quality is mixed but overall highly recommended.

Love it
Great device, brought mostly to play indie games but I have tried some more intensive ones and it holds up decently for the price. The controller parts feel good, the screen is big and very bright. Using lossless scaling helps 3d games run even better. The battery drains quite quickly but varies a lot based on what is playing, but it charges quickly.

Very good machine
When I purchased this I thought it was a 32g ram but only a 16 / the code this report gives is different from the one I have And this is cheaper by nearly £150 at amazon

Good console
The battery is not great. The performance is what it is for this price and type of device. The construction of the console seems a bit cheap with a very plastic feeling and clicking buttons. These things aside I’m enjoying it will be great when I travel.

Great Handheld (Perfect upgrade to Steam Deck)
Wonderful product. Replacing my Steam Deck OLED it had big boots to fill, and it has done that with ease! The screen is awesome, it is noticeably smoother and obviously significantly larger. Smooth and familiar Steam OS experience, comfortable in hand for long periods. Love it. Highly recommend for those seeking an upgrade from their existing Steam Deck.

Great alternative to a Steam deck.
There is really not a lot to say about this handheld other than the fact that it is truly amazing! If you are looking to get into handheld PC gaming and have been considering a Steam deck, then this device from Lenovo is a genuine alternative. The deciding factor for me was the slightly bigger, higher resolution screen but the slightly more powerful specs also help. Overall I'd highly recommend this.
Krog, 55 - 64, East Midlands
Does exactly what it says on the tin excellently!
Fantastic bit of kit, me and my partner both love it and can't stop playing it!

Hello Rob,
The Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS Handheld Gaming Console - Black has 16 GB / Storage and 1 TB SSD.
Thanks for using Q&A.
I purchased this model it has 16 g or ram and 1tb of storage
No it cant, it also doesnt have detachable controllers, thats a different lenovo console.
Hello rob
Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS Handheld Gaming Console - Black
Yes, the detachable controllers of the Lenovo Legion Go can be paired via Bluetooth to other PCs and phones, acting like separate or single controllers, but they cannot directly be used as a controller for an Xbox or another Legion Go console.
Using the Controllers with other Devices:
PC (Windows): The controllers can connect to any Windows PC via Bluetooth. The PC will recognize them as generic "Xbox joycons".
Single Controller Mode: Each detached controller can be used sideways as an individual controller (similar to a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con) for multiplayer games, with access to its specific joystick and face buttons.
Combined Controller Mode: By default, connecting both controllers separately via Bluetooth results in the PC seeing two independent controllers, which doesn't work for most games that require a single input device. To use both as a single, combined controller for one player on another PC, you may need third-party software or a special connecting accessory that is available for purchase separately.
Other Handhelds (e.g., Steam Deck): The Bluetooth connectivity allows the Legion Go controllers to potentially pair with other handhelds running compatible operating systems, provided the host device accepts standard Bluetooth Xinput HID (Human Interface Device) inputs.
Xbox Consoles: The Legion Go controllers cannot be used as a controller for an Xbox console because the Xbox does not support the required connectivity or drivers for the device. You would need a standard Xbox controller for that.
Drones: While it is theoretically possible for a drone's control app on a PC or phone to recognize the Legion Go controllers as an input device, there is no official support or specific functionality for this use case. Compatibility would depend entirely on the specific drone's software.
In short, the controllers have good flexibility, especially with PCs, but are limited to the PC ecosystem and cannot natively function as a standard controller for dedicated consoles like the Xbox.
Thank you for using Q&A.
You can play with friends if they are on steam and youre connected to WiFi, xbox game pass isnt installed on this device, you can install it but will need to follow a guide online.

Hello Fazz
Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS Handheld Gaming Console - Black
Yes, you can play Xbox games on the Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS Handheld Gaming Console - Black, but with some caveats, as the console runs SteamOS and not Windows natively. You can primarily use Xbox Cloud Gaming or remote play, but cannot natively install the PC Game Pass app or its games without modifying the operating system.
Methods for Playing Xbox Games:
Xbox Cloud Gaming (Streaming): This is the most straightforward method on SteamOS. You can access the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) service through a web browser like Microsoft Edge, which can be installed in Desktop mode and added to your Steam library for easy access in Gaming mode. This method requires an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Remote Play: You can stream games installed on your actual Xbox console to your Legion Go S using the XBplay app available in the Steam store (for a small fee) or by using a browser-based method.
Installing Windows (Advanced): The Lenovo Legion Go S is a PC, so you have the option to wipe SteamOS and install the Windows operating system, or set up a dual-boot configuration. Installing Windows allows you to use the native Xbox app and locally install PC Game Pass games, but it is a more involved process and may require some technical know-how (like finding specific drivers beforehand). Note that PC Game Pass is officially only available on Windows models of Lenovo devices.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hey Blue Dragon,
I can advise that this gaming console can take a 1 TB SSD.

Have a nice day!
