  • PositiveSharp display
  • PositiveGood control
  • PositiveDoes not get hot under full load
  • NegativeSome games are jerky
  • NegativeMemory somewhat scarce
  • NegativeNo bag included in the scope of delivery

In itself, the concept of a slimmed-down and cheaper Legion Go doesn't sound wrong. The handheld feels better in the hand than its chunky brother and the sticks always respond precisely, but the less powerful inner workings and the high display resolution for the size don't quite go together.

    • PositiveComfortable design, sits well in the hand
    • PositiveFull Windows compatibility, including Game Pass games and anti-cheat software
    • NegativeWindows is cumbersome and difficult to use on handheld PCs.
    • NegativeToo expensive
    • NegativePoorer battery life than the Steam Deck OLED
    • NegativeLower performance than Z1 Extreme-based handhelds

    The Lenovo Legion Go S is an incredibly ergonomic handheld gaming PC that feels great. But Windows clouds the user experience. The Steam Deck OLED offers better battery life at a lower price - and other Windows handhelds deliver better gaming performance.
