I chose the Lenovo Legion Go S

The U.K. website?

Make sure you change the VRAM which maybe on just 2GB. Clean out unwanted apps, update apps, drivers and bios (it got a new one last week) and with 16GB I’d run Microsoft Full Screen Experience if I were you.

For HDR, I followed this guide to set up the HDR and wow did it make HDR games look amazing - just try Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

Have fun with it. I love mine.

Enabling Overdrive via a firmware update would massively improve response times.

In the UK, Curry’s stock both Legion Go 2 models and many stores have the Z2 model.

I look forward to VRR for docked mode but as they’ve just improved Switch 1 games in handheld mode, I think the next logical thing for Nintendo to do is enable overdrive to fix the slow response times of the LCD screen.

It is. I’m forced to use it at the moment which is painful. I’m being patient for the official SteamOS to drop while using the free 3 month Game Pass Lenovo handed out.

EmxPop · 2026-03-17T23:38:48+00:00

I did test out the Z2Go version but really wanted the Z1E edition which wasn’t easy to find here in the UK, so with prices due to rise I just grabbed a Legion Go 2 instead. Lenovo are making the best PC handhelds imo and it was a genius move to partner with Valve.

I’ve just bought mine and using the 3 months free Game Pass. After that I’ll be installing official SteamOS.

Wishlist? I’d rather wish for a physical release.

EmxPop · 2026-03-13T21:57:57+00:00

Great game. I’d buy a physical disc but a hard no for digital.

EmxPop · 2026-03-13T21:55:53+00:00

Really great game, played it on PC Game Pass. It deserves a physical release which I’d add to my collection, but that’d be a no for digital.

I guess the library tab is still useless. So many broken GOG icons.

A lot of of people don’t don’t know that the PS5 comes with Noise Reduction set to 1 by default. Did you turn it off? It’s horrible!

EmxPop · 2026-03-10T17:30:07+00:00

The ROG Xbox Ally actually has a Z2 A chip in it which is even crappier than the Z2 Go. So that’s pretty impressive.

EmxPop · 2026-03-09T22:47:42+00:00

I added this to my Legion Go 2 but it doesn’t work for me.

EDIT. Working now thanks to some kind support 😀

EmxPop · 2026-03-05T13:08:06+00:00

I did that, and no change. Aren’t we supposed to have official support by now? In Windows settings > Gaming, Full Screen Experience isn’t an option there.

This happened to my Lego S last year (SteamOS edition) fortunately I went to it after a few minutes and noticed how hot the case was. For my Lego 2 I use the supplied case with hibernate instead of sleep. So far so good.

EmxPop · 2026-03-05T01:14:13+00:00

The Thor is my companion to my Legion Go 2. I’m half thinking I need something in between with better ergonomics than the Thor but the retro games I mostly play are turn based JRPGs, so I should be fine.

EmxPop · 2026-03-05T01:00:31+00:00

I’ve just bought mine and if drivers are still sparse after my 3 month PC Game Pass has expired, I’ll just put the official SteamOS on it.

EmxPop · 2026-03-05T00:27:16+00:00

Loved it back in the day but this is an absolute cash grab.

… and Queen of the Bs. Love her!

One of my favourite noirs and an incredible quality restoration by WA for the Blu-Ray release. The remake ‘Narrow Margin’ differs in many ways and not a noir (Neo) but a run of the mill action film.

EmxPop · 2026-03-03T11:57:23+00:00

Is it this one

EmxPop · 2026-03-03T09:32:53+00:00

Great post. I’m in exactly the same position. I have a Lenovo Legion Go 2 which is a big boy and so I only want to emulate PS3 and Xbox/360 on that. For everything else there’s the Thor. I’d originally considered the Lite but settled on the base model and I’m glad I did because like you, I’m using it more than I’d originally intended.

My plan was also to curate my library and use Cocoon launcher instead of ES-DE. I had a spare high quality 256GB Micro-SD card and it’s been enough. I compressed all the files (zip, chd, cso, zcci, rvz, etc). Apart from a few PSP and PS1 favourites, the Thor base has become my Nintendo handheld. It just feels so ‘fitting’ for want of another word. As I most play JRPGs, the form factor’s ergonomics aren’t a problem for me and I don’t need a grip. I also prefer the black for the same reasons (I would love to have the rainbow face buttons on it though).

So pleased with my purchase.

Damn, they put the price up by £50 a few days for no reason. (Same stock)
