Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS review

Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS handheld gaming PC being held in-hand, with a PC Gamer Editor's Pick label on the top-right.

The SteamOS version of the Lenovo Legion Go S with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor is, I'm happy to say, exactly what I've been waiting for from a handheld gaming PC. Well, almost exactly. It's about as ideal as I could hope for at this point in time without succumbing to wishful and perfectionist thinking.

Lenovo gave me a teaser a couple of months ago with the Windows version of this handheld sporting a Ryzen Z2 Go processor. When I reviewed that handheld, I concluded that it had a great design but its lacklustre hardware combined with its high price point made it feel like a placeholder for a hopefully better-value SteamOS version that was in the works.
