You are looking at the SteamOS-powered Legion Go S handheld that rivals Valve’s Steam Deck by ditching Windows for the Linux-based OS. The base variant of this handheld is powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Go chip and has 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, whereas the 32GB RAM and 1TB model is powered by the performant Z1 Extreme processor. They both feature the same 8-inch panel with 120Hz refresh rate support, and they also share the same ergonomic design with a bigger fan at the back compared to the one on the regular Legion Go handheld. We had a chance to play around with the Windows version of the Legion Go S, and you can learn more about our experience of using it right here.
Be sure to stop by and check out Best Buy’s 4th of July sale to see if something else catches your attention. Also, our PC gaming deals hub has plenty of discounted hardware if you’re fishing for gaming gear to upgrade your battlestation.
