Lenovo's Legion Go S with SteamOS is now $999.99 at Best Buy, a 37% cut from its original $1,580 price. The deal positions it as a strong mid-range option in the handheld gaming market, undercutting the $789 Steam Deck OLED while offering more memory, storage, and a slightly faster processor.
The configuration includes 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and an eight-inch 1080p IPS screen with up to a 120Hz refresh rate. It also features two-stage triggers and runs the same SteamOS software as Valve's handheld. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip inside is notably faster than the Z2 Go found in the Windows 11 version of the same device, making this discounted model the better buy.
The Legion Go S is not the most powerful handheld available. The Asus ROG Ally X20, priced at $1,299.99, offers a newer Z2 Extreme processor and an OLED display. But for buyers focused on value, the Legion Go S delivers a competitive experience at a significantly lower price. The Verge's review of multiple Go S configurations supports this assessment, noting the SteamOS version with the Z1 Extreme provides a better experience than the Windows-based model.```json?
