Inside the deal
The Legion Go S, a high-performance gaming handheld, is now available for just $673.54. This price is only 4% above its original MSRP of $649.99, making it an unusual and enticing deal in today's unpredictable market. With many devices suffering from price surges due to shortages, the Legion Go S stands out as an affordable option.
Instead of relying on a Windows 11 operating system, which can slow performance, the Legion Go S uses Valve's SteamOS. This choice eliminates performance overhead and delivers an optimized gaming experience. The device also features an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, a fast 16GB of LPDDR5X-6400 memory, and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. These components come together to make the device a strong contender for mobile gamers.
