Lenovo’s Legion Go S sits in the brand’s handheld gaming PC line-up, taking on the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally style of portable Windows gaming. It’s built for people who want proper PC libraries on the move, with enough storage and memory to avoid constant uninstalling and stuttery multitasking. The 8 inch screen gives you a larger, more readable view than smaller handhelds, which matters for strategy games, RPG menus and desktop use, though it also means a chunkier device in the bag.

Who is the Legion Go S best for?

If you already use PC storefronts and subscriptions, this makes sense as a single device for indie titles, older AAA games and cloud streaming. AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Go is aimed at handheld efficiency, balancing playable frame rates with battery life. 16GB RAM helps keep modern games and Windows background tasks from fighting for space, and the 1TB SSD is generous for big installs.

  • 16GB RAM, smoother multitasking and fewer in-game hitches
  • 1TB SSD, room for several large games at once
  • 8 inch display, easier text and UI readability
