Exciting news for handheld PC gaming enthusiasts: the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS is now available for preorder at Best Buy. This marks the first time a company other than Valve has released a device with SteamOS, the Linux-based operating system that powers the Steam Deck. The SteamOS-based Legion Go S will hit the market on May 25, starting at an attractive price of $549.99. Let's delve into the specifics.

The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS comes in two configurations to cater to different needs and budgets. The first model, equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, is priced at $549.99, matching the cost of the 512GB OLED Steam Deck. The second, more powerful option features an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD, and is available for $749.99.
Regardless of which model you choose, you'll enjoy a 120Hz gaming handheld with two USB-C ports, enabling easy storage expansion via a microSD card. The device also includes trigger locks for hair triggers, a feature that can give you a competitive edge in fast-paced games like Marvel Rivals.
Both configurations boast more powerful chips than the Steam Deck, suggesting they should be capable of running recent, demanding titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Monster Hunter Wilds, which might be too much for the Steam Deck.

Valve has announced that SteamOS will soon be available for other non-Steam Deck handhelds, allowing you to install it on your preferred gaming PC in the near future, possibly around the launch of these SteamOS-based Legion Go S models. If you're seeking a device more powerful than the Steam Deck to run SteamOS, the Lenovo Legion Go S should be at the top of your list.
