We didn’t peculiarly similar the Legion Go S astatine launch, though portion of that was owed to its precocious price. Sean loved its gorgeous 8-inch 120Hz surface and noted that its ergonomics are superior to astir gaming handhelds, including the Steam Deck. But the terms didn’t marque consciousness considering it didn’t execute arsenic good arsenic Valve’s handheld successful immoderate (but not all) games. Also, it launched erstwhile Windows 11 was a nightmare to traverse successful handheld mode, though things have improved a spot since then.

The Legion Go S isn’t a instrumentality we tin wholeheartedly recommend, but I’m consenting to marque an objection successful silly times similar these. I’d beryllium happier to urge the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor-packed mentation of the Go S — we recovered its show gains are anyplace from 10 percent to 40 percent improved implicit the Ryzen Z2 Go, depending connected the crippled — but perfectly not astatine its existent $1,452.99 terms astatine Lenovo’s site.
