The Lenovo Legion Go S is making waves as an exciting option for handheld gaming enthusiasts. Available in two versions—Windows and SteamOS—this device offers a compelling blend of features and performance.
The Windows variant, stylishly presented in white, was the first to hit the market at a starting price of $649.99. It comes equipped with a Ryzen Z2 Go processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. For those seeking more power, there’s an upgraded model featuring 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage priced at $729.99. On the other hand, the SteamOS version starts at $599.90 with similar specs and also offers a more robust option featuring a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor for $829.99.
Currently, Best Buy is offering a fantastic deal on the Legion Go S (Windows) model with 32GB of RAM, now available for just $499.99—over $200 off the original price. This makes it a better bargain than the lesser 16GB RAM version sold elsewhere.
While the SteamOS model reportedly outperforms the Windows version in some benchmarks, the Windows version’s flexibility shines through. Not only can you save money, but you also have the option to install SteamOS if you’d like. This versatility could be a game-changer, especially since the device includes a free Windows license and superior specs compared to the SteamOS base model.
The Legion Go S boasts a sleek design, featuring an 8-inch 120Hz LCD touch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, VRR support, and a brightness level of 500 nits. It uses LPDDR5X RAM and an M.2 2242 NVME PCIe Gen4 SSD, with a MicroSD card slot to expand storage if needed.
The device packs a 55.5Whr battery and comes with a 65W USB-C charger. Gaming controls include Hall Effect thumbsticks, adjustable triggers, customizable back buttons, and a small touchpad on the right. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, dual USB 4.0 Type-C ports, and an audio jack.
With these impressive features and the option to pivot between Windows and SteamOS, the Lenovo Legion Go S stands out as a versatile and powerful gaming companion. Act fast, as the Best Buy deal ends soon.
