Key information
The Lenovo Legion Go S handheld gaming PC is currently priced at $731 at Amazon during Prime Day. This specific configuration features an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip, an 8-inch 120 Hz 1080p IPS screen, 512 GB SSD storage, and 16 GB of memory. It originally launched with a retail price of $650.
Compared to the cheapest Steam Deck model, which is priced at $789 due to memory crisis pricing, the Lenovo Legion Go S offers lower cost and greater performance despite using an inferior IPS panel rather than an OLED screen.
The reviewed unit is a Windows model, meaning users experience some operating system performance overhead unless they switch to SteamOS for a performance bump. Additionally, a higher-end version featuring a Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, 1 TB SSD, and 32 GB of RAM with built-in SteamOS is available for $1,000 at Best Buy.
