It offers massive specs, a bigger screen, and a lower price point than many of its competitors in the handheld gaming space. At $729.99 on Best Buy, it’s not just another entry into the PC handheld market, it’s a clear statement. High-end gaming doesn’t need a sky-high price tag. Well, it's still a lot of money, but players are getting some bang for their buck. Take ASUS ROG Ally X, for example. At $799.99, it’s a fantastic device with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 24GB RAM, and a 7-inch screen. But here’s the thing: the Legion Go S steps up the game with 32GB of RAM, a larger 8-inch PureSight display, and the Ryzen Z2 Go processor, built specifically for this handheld. Oh, and did I mention it’s $70 cheaper? SEE ALSO: CES 2025: Here's how to get your hands on the new Lenovo Legion Go S Lenovo Legion Go S is a powerhouse that can play hard.
