"Having spent time with both the SteamOS and Windows models, I prefer the one running Valve's custom handheld software. While Lenovo does a good job bridging the gap with extra buttons and control options, trying to use a desktop operating system with just a controller and touchscreen can often be a frustrating experience. With SteamOS, you turn on the device, scan a QR code with your phone, and within minutes you're downloading your games and save files from the cloud."
"It has built-in controller grips, and a spacious button layout, plus triggers and bumpers that are luxurious and well-placed. The screen is nice and bright, and features a 120Hz refresh rate, although it's an IPS panel instead of the OLEDs we're starting to see elsewhere. This model comes with 1TB of storage and 32GB of memory, plus a MicroSD card slot if you want to really load up on games."
"Like most of the non-Nintendo gaming handhelds, you'll probably need to tweak settings or even resolution to get the latest games running smoothly. I did find it more powerful than my aging Steam Deck, and in games like Vampire Survivors and Trackmania 2020, the kinds of games I often play on the go, it had no problem and required very little tweaking."
Legion Go S with SteamOS offers an accessible entry into handheld PC gaming and is discounted $120 at Best Buy. SteamOS enables quick setup via a QR code and cloud syncing of games and save files. The device is relatively bulky but ergonomically comfortable, featuring built-in controller grips, a spacious button layout, well-placed triggers and bumpers, and a bright 120Hz IPS display. Configurations include 1TB storage, 32GB memory, and MicroSD expansion. Performance surpasses an aging Steam Deck on many titles, though modern games may require graphics or resolution tweaks. SteamOS helps games better recognize device capabilities compared with Windows.
