Best Buy’s Black Friday Sale has officially kicked off with some great deals on gaming hardware. Possibly the very best deal I’ve found so far is on the Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Exterme SteamOS handheld gaming PC, which has dropped to just $649.99 after a massive $250 instant discount. This is the lowest price I’ve seen by nearly $130. Note that this is the more powerful model with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and it is easily one of the best Steam-based gaming handhelds currently available. It’s essentially a souped up Steam Deck alternative.
Save $250 Off the Lenovo Legion Go S Handheld Gaming PC
This particular Lenovo Legion Go S model is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, which is significantly more powerful than the Ryzen Z2 Go (which we didn’t like very much at all) and the Steam Deck’s custom APU. It’s supplemented by a generous 32GB of RAM and 512GB storage capacity. Since it runs on the SteamOS client, it outperforms the Steam Deck in most games. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a bigger 8″ 1200p display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. Battery life remains roughly equivalent, however the Legion Go S does benefit from a much faster maximum charging rate (up to 100W input if your charger can support it).
Check out Jacqueline’s 9/10 review of the Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme, SteamOS model), in which she concludes that it is one of the “best handheld gaming PCs on the market, and a legitimate Steam Deck alternative.”
