Lenovo’s Legion Go S: A Cheaper Handheld Gaming PC

Lenovo’s Legion Go S: A Cheaper Handheld Gaming PC

The handheld gaming PC market exploded after Valve’s release of the Steam Deck. Competitors like Lenovo and Asus quickly jumped in, with Lenovo’s Legion Go and Asus’ ROG Ally leading the charge.

A Budget-Friendly Contender

Windows Central revealed early renders of Lenovo’s upcoming Legion Go S. Its design closely resembles the Asus ROG Ally, opting for a more streamlined form factor compared to its predecessor, the Legion Go. Gone are the detachable joysticks, kickstand, and trackpad, replaced by a nub on the right side for mouse control.

What to Expect

Positioned as a budget-friendly option, the Legion Go S is expected to be less powerful than the original Legion Go or the Asus ROG Ally X. This suggests potential compromises in processing power to achieve a lower price point. Key features to look for include:

• Simpler design compared to Legion Go
• Likely less powerful than higher-end competitors
• Integrated mouse nub

We anticipate more details about the Legion Go S’s specifications and release date at CES 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
