Exciting news for handheld PC gaming enthusiasts: the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS is now available for preorder at Best Buy. This innovative portable gaming device marks a significant milestone as the first non-Valve product to ship with SteamOS, the Linux-based operating system popularized by the Steam Deck. Set to launch on May 25, the Lenovo Legion Go S starts at an attractive price of $549.99. Let’s explore what this new gaming handheld has to offer.

For those seeking more power, the Legion Go S with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD is available for $749.99. This model promises enhanced performance for the avid gamer.
The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS comes in two configurations to cater to different needs. The entry-level model features the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, priced at $549.99. For gamers looking for more power, the higher-end model boasts an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, available for $749.99.
Both models offer a 120Hz display and come equipped with two USB-C ports for versatile connectivity. Storage can be expanded with a microSD card, and the devices feature trigger locks for hair triggers, enhancing your gameplay, especially in competitive shooters like Marvel Rivals.
With processors more powerful than those in the Steam Deck, the Lenovo Legion Go S should be capable of running recent games that might be challenging for the Deck, such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Monster Hunter Wilds.

It’s important not to confuse these SteamOS-based Legion Go S models with the earlier Windows 11-based Legion Go S, which is available at Best Buy for $729.99. For more information on why the Windows version might not meet your expectations, check out our Lenovo Legion Go S review.
Valve has also announced plans to make SteamOS available for other non-Steam Deck handhelds. This means you’ll soon be able to install SteamOS on a wide range of handheld gaming PCs, possibly coinciding with the launch of the SteamOS-based Legion Go S models. If you’re seeking devices more powerful than the Steam Deck to run SteamOS, the Lenovo Legion Go S should be at the top of your list.
