## What reviewers say

Four whitelisted testers reviewed the Ryzen Z2 Go Legion Go S: three tested the Windows launch model (Tom's Hardware, PCWorld, Engadget) and Notebookcheck tested the SteamOS build. All four praise the ergonomic all-in-one design and the 8-inch 120Hz screen but flag the high ~$729 price and weak Z2 Go performance. The three Windows reviews additionally fault clunky Windows on a handheld and mediocre battery under load, while Notebookcheck found SteamOS lifts the same chip 30-45% in games. (Based on 4 reviews, 4 lab-tested, 2025-02-14–2025-08-25.)

Praised: Comfortable, ergonomic all-in-one design and solid build quality; Large 8-inch 1920x1200 120Hz IPS screen (455-500 nits per Tom's/PCWorld); Good controls: Hall-effect sticks and adjustable-travel triggers; Switching to SteamOS lifts the same Z2 Go 30-45% in games.
Flagged: Overpriced (~$729) for the value-tier Z2 Go performance; Windows 11 is clunky/awkward on a handheld (on-screen keyboard, menus, no fingerprint sign-in); Lower performance than Z1 Extreme rivals and the original Legion Go; Mediocre battery under load (~1.5h in demanding titles); No fingerprint reader or biometrics.
Disagreement: Verdicts split on OS, not hardware: the three Windows reviews (Feb 2025) called the Z2 Go underwhelming and hard to recommend at ~$729, while Notebookcheck's Aug 2025 SteamOS test found the identical chip 30-45% faster in games and deemed it the better device.
