There is something new. Lenovo Legion Go On the road, and while he’s diving into the controls that can take away his signature, he still has something unusual to put on his CV. The Lenovo Legion Go S is Lenovo’s small and affordable portable gaming PC and is on track to become the first officially licensed one. SteamOS Manual outside valve Steam floor Range.
First released: at last. Windows 11 is the obvious choice for non-Valve manufacturers to base their dinky machines around, but it’s proven time And time The lack of natural affinity for small screens and thumb controls is not fully made up for by native games compatibility. SteamOS May not be supported everywhere But UX-wise, it’s a much better match for handhelds while still delivering. Desktop mode For more Windows-like flexibility. It can only be a good thing that it is distributed on third party machines.
Anyway, Legion Go S! It’s lighter and slimmed down from the original Legion Go, adopting a more traditional fixed chassis, dropping its weight from 854g to 730g and shrinking the display to an 8in, 1200p, 120Hz IPS panel. Good for me – The Legion Go 1600p, a nearly 9in screen, was nice to see but often its own processor can’t handle it. Speaking of which, the Legion Go S will be powered by your choice of either the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme as the Legion Go, or AMD’s all-new Ryzen Z2 Go. There’s no word on how the latter will perform, though it probably won’t be as fast as the Z1 Extreme, which will send the price of the Legion Go S up to $729, while the Ryzen 2 Go version will be just $599.
Speaking of options, there will be a perfect version of Legion Go S for Windows 11 for those who roll their eyes in disapproval at that second paragraph. That will go on sale this January, several months ahead of the SteamOS version’s May release.
Either way, the Legion Go S comes along Hall effect joysticks, a teenage lil trackpad on the right (larger than the deck, for game-ready haptic pads) and a 55Whr battery, which is 5WHr on the original Legion Go. Between that and a lower-specset display, hopefully that translates to longer battery life, another weakness of the big brother.
Hardware doesn’t improve much by removing its most unique and interesting features, but in the case of the Legion Go S, I think it can get away with selling those Switch-style controls. SteamOS naturally makes it more convenient to use and offers 1TB of storage for $599, even reducing it to $649. Vapor surface OLED At normal price use. He’ll still have to make his own case on performance and battery life, but it’s certainly an exciting prospect. I hope not to break.
