I consider it a tiny consolation that there’s a decent PC gaming handheld that is currently selling at its old price. The <strong>Lenovo Legion Go S</strong> is currently $549.99 at Woot (originally $729.99). It’s the kind of deal that wouldn’t have stood out as much a year ago as it does now.</p> <div><h3>Lenovo Legion Go S</h3> <p>The device has a 90-day warranty through Woot, outside of its manufacturer warranty.</p> <figure><img width="300" height="200" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25815077/247466_CES_2025_Lenovo_Legion_Go_S_windows_ADiBenedetto_0004.jpg/query-dz0zMDA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25815077/247466_CES_2025_Lenovo_Legion_Go_S_windows_ADiBenedetto_0004.jpg/query-dz0zMDA"/></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li> <strike>$729.99</strike> $549.99 at <strong>Woot</strong></li></ul></div> <p>We didn’t particularly like the Legion Go S at launch, though part of that was due to its high price. Sean loved its gorgeous 8-inch 120Hz screen and noted that its ergonomics are superior to most gaming handhelds, including the Steam Deck. But the price didn’t make sense considering it didn’t perform as well as Valve’s handheld in some (but not all) games. Also, it launched when Windows 11 was a nightmare to traverse in handheld mode, though things have improved a bit since then.</p>  <p>The Legion Go S isn’t a device we can wholeheartedly recommend, but I’m willing to make an exception in silly times like these. I’d be happier to recommend the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor-packed version of the Go S — we found its performance gains are anywhere from 10 percent to 40 percent improved over the Ryzen Z2 Go, depending on the game — but absolutely not at its current $1,452.99 price at Lenovo’s site.</p>  <h3>Read our review of the Legion Go S.</h3></div>

<p>Lenovo's Legion Go S gaming handheld is currently priced at $549.99 on Woot, down from its original $729.99. This deal is considered favorable as the competing Steam Deck OLED has increased in price to $789. While reviewers noted initial reservations about performance and Windows 11 compatibility, the current low price makes it a notable option for PC gaming handhelds.</p>

- The Steam Deck OLED price increased significantly, making it less accessible for potential buyers, while the Lenovo Legion Go S remains at its original price of $549.99.  
- Although the Legion Go S received mixed reviews due to previous pricing and performance issues, its features, such as a high-quality display and ergonomics, are noted positively.  
- The article suggests a preference for the higher-performing Ryzen Z1 Extreme version, but its current price of $1,452.99 is deemed excessive.
