    • NegativeLower performance than Z1 Extreme-based handhelds

    The Lenovo Legion Go S is an incredibly ergonomic handheld gaming PC that feels great. But Windows clouds the user experience. The Steam Deck OLED offers better battery life at a lower price - and other Windows handhelds deliver better gaming performance.

      Lenovo's concept of releasing a slimmed-down version of the Legion Go sounds good in theory. The more manageable form factor is appealing, the display is sufficiently large and crisp. However, the less powerful inner workings and the high display resolution for the size are not always compatible.
