Overview

  • Best Buy’s Member Deals Days lists the SteamOS-based Legion Go S at $549.99, with the 32 GB RAM/1 TB model at $779.99, matching the handheld’s lowest tracked prices.
  • Reviewers highlight the Legion Go S for a smoother, console-like experience powered by SteamOS features such as quick suspend/resume and streamlined updates.
  • Early hands-on testing of the Windows-based Legion Go 2 reports strong performance in titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake and The Witcher 3 near 60 fps on lower settings.
  • The Legion Go 2’s design adds detachable controllers and numerous mappable buttons but draws criticism for bulk and accidental inputs, with one tester encountering a Halo Infinite compatibility message.
  • Lenovo positions the Legion Go 2 as a premium option with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, an 8.8-inch 1920×1200 OLED up to 144 Hz, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB storage, and Windows 11 support for multiple PC storefronts.
