If you asked me a few days ago to define handheld gaming, I might have pulled my iPhone 16 Pro Max out of my pocket and pointed to Angry Birds. Now, though, I might ignore your question, because I'd be fixated on the action playing out on the powerful, big-screen Lenovo Legion Go S, the first third-party SteamOS portable gaming device.
It's been 72 hours since I unboxed the roughly 1-foot wide, 1.63 lbs mobile gaming system (it ships with a 65W charger, a thin pamphlet, and a piece of cardboard you can fold into a nifty stand). Since then, I've played hours of Doom: Eternal, Dave the Diver, and Cyberpunk 2077. I think I may be hooked, as evidenced by my thinking about game tactics when I'm not playing on the Legion Go S.
