At $549, Lenovo’s Legion Go S gaming handheld is suddenly a good deal

Lenovo's Legion Go S gaming handheld is now available at a discounted price of $549.99 (down from $729.99) through Woot, making it a more attractive option compared to the recently increased Steam Deck OLED price. While the device has a great 8-inch 120Hz screen and good ergonomics, it still faces performance limitations compared to the Steam Deck in some games and has Windows 11 usability challenges in handheld mode. The deal is notable given current market conditions, though the more powerful Ryzen Z1 Extreme version remains overpriced at $1,452.99.

Background
