Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS (AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme)

This model boasts a 120Hz display, the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Available for $749.99 at Best Buy.

Both configurations offer a 120Hz refresh rate, dual USB-C ports, and microSD card expansion for easy storage upgrades. They also include trigger locks for hair trigger functionality, perfect for competitive shooters like Marvel Rivals.

The Legion Go S packs a more powerful punch than the Steam Deck, potentially handling newer titles currently beyond the Deck's capabilities. Think games like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Monster Hunter Rise.

It's crucial to differentiate these SteamOS-based Legion Go S models from the Windows 11 version released earlier this year. Our Lenovo Legion Go S review highlights why the SteamOS version might be the preferable choice. (The Windows 11 model is also available at Best Buy for $729.99).

Valve's announcement of broader SteamOS availability for non-Steam Deck handhelds means more powerful SteamOS options are on the horizon. However, for those seeking a high-performance SteamOS experience exceeding the Steam Deck's capabilities, the Lenovo Legion Go S stands out as a top contender.
