Lenovo showcased the Lenovo Legion Go S, the first non-Valve device to offer a native SteamOS experience. This exciting handheld packs a punch and is available in both Windows 11 Home and SteamOS versions.
Lenovo Legion Go S: A Familiar Design with Powerful Specs
The Legion Go S ditches the removable joysticks of its predecessor, the Legion Go, for a more traditional design. This iteration features Hall Effect joysticks with RGB lighting for precise control during intense gaming sessions.
Moreover, the handheld is powered by AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme and Ryzen Z2 Go processors, offering smooth performance for various games. The Z2 Go has 4 Zen 3 cores, 8 threads, and a 4.3 GHz max boost, along with an RDNA 2 GPU. Storage options range from 16GB to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB to 1TB PCIe SSD. The Legion Go S also features a custom ColdFront tech cooling system.
The device also sports an impressive 8-inch touchscreen display with a 1920 x 1200p (WUXGA) resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This display promises vibrant visuals and a responsive experience for both gaming and everyday use.
Additionally, it caters to a variety of connections. It boasts 2x USB4 ports (supporting Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort 1.4, and Power Delivery 3.0), a headphone jack, and a microSD card slot for additional storage. Additionally, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 ensure seamless online gaming and device pairing.
The Legion Go S, a SteamOS-compatible handheld gaming device, is a significant development in the market, allowing developers to create games beyond Windows-based devices. Its powerful specs, SteamOS option, and comfortable design make it a competitive competitor in the growing handheld gaming market.
Finally, the device offers a versatile gaming experience for PC gamers and console enthusiasts. With an official launch date yet to be announced, it could be a game-changer.
