It’s been easy to close myself off to other handheld gaming PCs since I have the $649 Steam Deck OLED. After all, the OS is easy to use, it has a great screen, and most importantly, many games run well on it.

I've been using the Lenovo Legion Go S (with Windows), and I hate to say it, but Lenovo has a real dud on its hands.

With so many meaningful improvements, the Legion Go S is a gorgeous and comfortable handheld. But does its high price and middling performance hurt it?

Lenovo's sleek Legion Go S gaming handheld falls behind the competition in performance and battery life... but costs just as much.

Lenovo has already teased the second-gen version of its flagship gaming handheld. But that won’t be out until much later this year, so in the meantime, it’s come out with the Legion Go S, a slightly sturdier and more portable way to frag while you’re out and about.

There's never been a better time to be interested in PC gaming on the go, because the state of gaming handhelds has never been better. And right now you can get one of the best for a sweet discount.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is an incredibly ergonomic handheld gaming PC that feels great in your hands, but Windows makes the whole experience feel awkward.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is an extraordinarily comfortable handheld that seems poised to best compete against the cheaper Steam Deck OLED.

The Legion Go and Legion Go S are shaped and sized differently, so check the dimensions of carry cases and screen protectors. However, docks, power adapters, microSD cards, and such will work on both, as with all handhelds that share the same ports.
