Lenovo Legion Go S Review: Big on Power, Light on Battery
In 2005, when the PlayStation Portable was released, I was there for it and even wrote a book about it. Portable gaming was the next big thing. Only Sony was a little ahead of its time. Today, portable gaming is a thing, so when I was offered the chance to try out the Lenovo Legion Go S, I wanted to see what it was all about. Here's what I found.

Setup. The setup was about what you would expect from anything with a Windows operation. The actual process of setting up the device was easy enough, but the Windows updates and associated connections took some time. Plan to spend at least 45 minutes to an hour getting the device ready to use. If you opt for the PC gaming pass trial, that could add a few minutes, too.

Design. The Lenovo Legion Go S is bold and beautiful, and big. I wasn't prepared for the device to be so... hefty. According to Lenovo, it weighs 1.61 lbs, but it feels heavier to me, and it's definitely not made for small hands. This is an adult gaming system, and it's built for an adult. That said, the controls are pretty well placed, even for my hands. I was able to reach the joy sticks and all the buttons without much difficulty. However, due to the weight, I spent a lot of time with it sitting in my lap, rather than trying to hold it up.

Display. The display on the Lenovo Legion Go S is beautiful. The 8-inch WUXGA display offers a 16:10 ratio with a 120 Hz refresh rate, which means gaming graphics are clear, and it can keep up with whatever intense, fast-moving game you're playing. According to Lenovo, it also has 100 percent sRGB accuracy and 500 nits of brightness. I love the brightness, and the detail was pretty impressive.

Gaming Experience. Gaming on the Legion Go S was what you would expect from a portable gaming system. I could play my go-to, Dragon's Dogma, without any difficulty, and I didn't have any issues with clarity on the 8-inch screen. The free Xbox PC Game Pass trial also gives you plenty of options for trying the device out, but if you want to subscribe to it, it'll cost you about $12/mo, which is pretty affordable if gaming is your main reason for owning the device. The battery life was okay.
You can get up to 8 hours off a single charge, but not if you're playing demanding games. The more demanding the game is, the less battery life you'll get. I never played more than a couple of hours at a time, but I did notice that after a couple of hours of light gaming with the most conservative battery settings, it dropped below 40 percent, so keep the power cord close. You'll need it.
