The Lenovo Legion Go S is the true Steam Deck alternative we've all been waiting for - but should you buy it or wait for a better handheld?

After owning the Asus ROG Ally for more than a year now, I've kept an eye on the Lenovo Legion Go. While you might be thinking that this upgrade path is nonsensical, since both devices use the same Z1 Extreme processor, it's the 8.8 inch 1600p 144Hz display on the Legion Go that's had me fixated on a purchase for a long while.

Considering my use of the Steam Deck initially, I've hoped Valve would throw in a surprise reveal of a new and improved handheld this week at CES 2025. There were suggestions that Valve would be using one of AMD's Z2 chips on a Steam Deck successor, but that has now been debunked - it's been confirmed that there isn't and won't be any Steam Deck using the new APUs.
