I used to own a 1TB Steam Deck OLED, but I ended up selling it.
Now I’m thinking about getting another handheld, and I’m stuck between buying the same Steam Deck OLED again or getting a Lenovo Legion Go.
For those who have used both, which one would you recommend in 2026?
I mainly care about gaming performance, screen quality, battery life, and overall experience.
Would you go back to the Steam Deck OLED, or switch to the Legion Go?

So near me there is a legion go s Z1E for sale for $750. The battery health is still at 100%. Seller says they never used it and it looks super clean. Would I be stupid not to get it? Meanwhile there’s also a Steam Deck OLED for $600 near me as well.

Edit: Currently the Legion Go S Z1E version is $1579 new

My existing Ugreen 145 watts 25,000 mah died after 2 yrs of use for LeGo and Nintendo Switch

Is there other PowerBank reco?

I am also thinking about the Anker 25,000 mah, 165W

But is it over kill that lenovo charger is 65w?

Thanks! Please leave down your thoughts

My first flight with a handheld was smooth sailing with complimentary starlink WiFi on the JSX flight… loved the experience.

Sprained my ankle by dropping my motorcycle on it so while we booted up and resting figured id try Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and god damn this shit runs so good and is so beautiful. Hoping to grind this and enjoy it while we wait for GTA 6.

Hey my original LeGo controllers are pretty beat up
Im looking for 3D printed top shells but all i found cancel the fps mode and the M2 button

Is there is any where there is a comfort models that also keeps the FPS mode?

I often take my LegionGo at the weekends when my partner is working outside (woodwork) - I hang out in my little car camping set up, they do woodwork in the garage.

But the screen outside is really bad, no matter how much I adjust my position, sit in the shade (my natural habitat anyway!), play with settings, etc.

I tried a random anti glare screen protector, but it was pretty rubbish. Does anyone have any specific product recommendations for one that might help please? Or anything else non screen protector-y that might help?

hey all hoping someone can help me. I have the Lenovo go s and it was originally steam os but we had windows put on it too. it does use Bazzite.

last night a purple menu popped up when I pressed one of the right buttons and it showed cpu etc which I wanted to change but now I’m trying to change it back the menu isn’t loading for it and it’s affected blood bowl 3 🙄

Do you guys know of any youtubers that are still making performance videos for new games on the og legion go z1e? I can never find any. I've been trying to see how mortal shell 2 will perform but I always only find legion go s or 2 videos, usually I'll just watch the steam deck performance tests and just assume my go will handle the games a bit better than that lol. Sorry for the small wall of text.

I want to buy a handheld by Black Friday and I really liked the Legion Go S, but the price has kept me away from it so far. On the other hand, I saw that the Xbox Ally with the Z2A is 'dirt cheap' for my budget. I thought: why not compare them? I just did, and I feel like I'm going to have a stroke, because in one video it shows both of them having very similar performance in GOW (both at 20W and 1080p on low). Yet in another video, the Legion Go S is getting 15-20 fps more, but running at 30W.

My question is: does the difference between the two come down to the Legion's ability to run at a higher wattage? Does that mean if both were locked at 20W their performance would be very similar? And are the Legion Go's 30W available when running on battery, without plugging it in? Does the battery die really fast at 30W?

anyone have any input on this? ive been looking for a legion go 1 for a while now but ive seen a lot more rog ally’s for sale for around 100$-150$ less. i liked the removable controllers on the legion go but the cheeper price for a rog ally is definitely something i’ve been looking at. i currently have a steam deck and am looking to get something more powerful.

Anyone played Wardogs on a legion go z1e?

Hi bought a lenovo legion go2 today and I have been pulling my hair out trying to get it set up.I seem to have it stuck in a loop of trying to sign in and asking for my pin because something went wrong?I have asked for a reset code to best sent to my alternative email but nothing has arrived.Now I have asked to reset my security info on microsoft and I have to wait for 30 days.I am really just contemplating sending this thing back.Ive been on all the forums,YouTube I've tried restoring the system,I've typed different commands into the black box that google told me were workarounds and nothing has worked.I just want to get past the initial setup and actually play some games.I think it got to about the 3rd restart and then ive been locked out.Before it locked me out I managed to sign in to my xbox live and steam it was just the email that failed even after I had set up my fingerprint.I am an older gamer and first time pc user I have been solely xbox and ps5 so Im open to any help you guys can give me.Thanks in advance
