Legion Go S SteamOS: was $1555.99 now $949.99
It's been a while since we've seen the Legion Go S appear with any kind of discount. Once our favorite gaming handheld, the Legion Go S, even in its supposedly cheaper SteamOS trim, has been a real victim of the memory crisis, pushing its price ever higher. This is still not a great price, but it's the full 32 GB / 1 TB edition, and it is theoretically a $600+ saving.

I will admit, I did not expect to see the ol' Lenovo Legion Go S appearing on sale for a non-ridiculous price. I thought those days were over; I thought the memory crisis had done for these old gaming handheld PCs with their Sam Altman-baiting levels of system RAM. But no, here we are with the SteamOS version of the excellent Lenovo Legion Go S on sale at Amazon for $950.
Yes, I'm aware that is still a lot of money to spend on what is pretty much guaranteed to be either a secondary or tertiary gaming device for you, and kinda flies against everything that made the original Steam Deck such a tantalising option for a lot of PC gamers. But considering the Legion Go S price went well over the $1,500 mark, this Amazon deal is netting you a discount of over $600 on the list price.
We loved the device when we first ran our Legion Go S SteamOS Ed. review, with Jacob giving it a coveted Editor's Pick award and a 91% score. The native SteamOS install makes the whole thing a joy to use; it's a really well-designed device from an ergonomic point of view, and it looks great, too.

Inevitably, you do run into the familiar Linux-based issues for PC gamers, namely that not every game you might want to play will work. That is largely down to kernel-level anti-cheat software at this point, but this is also something that developers are working on right now to reduce the number of incompatible services.
Other than that, it's an excellent handheld to game on, despite the Ryzen Z1 Extreme being a relatively old chip by now. It was introduced around the original ROG Ally, but still stands up, especially against the cheaper chips that have since been released. If you think that because it's Z1 versus Z2 the bigger number is always better, that's not the case. Look at the cheaper $800 Legion Go S at Walmart, and that's sporting a Z2 Go chip.
Ryzen Z1 Extreme | Ryzen Z2 Go | Ryzen Z2 A | Ryzen Z2 Extreme | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
CPU architecture | Zen 4 | Zen 3+ | Zen 2 | Zen 5 |
CPU cores / threads | 8 / 16 | 4 / 8 | 4 / 8 | 8 / 16 |
Integrated graphics | 12 × RDNA 3 CUs | 12 × RDNA 2 CUs | 8 × RDNA 2 CUs | 16 × RDNA 3.5 CUs |
Configurable TDP | 15–30 W | 15–30 W | 6–20 W | 15–35 W |
NPU | None | None | None | Up to 50 TOPS (AI Z2 Extreme variant) |
Which sucks. The Z2 Go is a Zen 3+ chip, with four CPU cores and 12 RDNA 2 CUs in its integrated GPU. The Z1 Extreme is a Zen 4 chip with eight CPU cores and 12 RDNA 3 CUs, making it far more performant in games. And don't even get me started on the Z2 A which goes into the ROG Xbox Ally. That only has 8 RDNA 2 CUs, and it's weak sauce even for its $599 price tag.
The Z2 Extreme in the ROG Xbox Ally X has more about it, however, and is the better gaming chip. So if you're happy with Windows, that is an option and is only $50 more, but with less RAM onboard.
ROG Xbox Ally | Z2 A: was $599.99 now $599
Okay, so this model doesn't have the properly punchy Z2 Extreme chip of the ROG Xbox Ally X below. As such, it's nowhere near as powerful and is more suited to indie games rather than the demanding stuff. That being said, handheld gaming PCs are rising to silly prices right now, and this one's still got a super-comfortable chassis, a good screen, and the Xbox FSE interface.

ROG Xbox Ally X | Z2 Extreme: $999.99
It is a borderline ludicrous amount of cash to drop on a gaming handheld really, but the ROG Xbox Ally X is a truly great device. I thought the design was ridiculous until I had my review unit in-hand. It's super comfortable to use, the new library makes Windows usable, and the Z2 Extreme chip is powerful. Could do with a bit of a discount, but this is the cheapest you'll find it today.

Yawyore Gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600GT
The integrated graphics on this processor won't get you gaming at higher resolutions or higher settings in modern games, but it's a great way to get into some light 1080p gaming. This gaming PC mainly acts to get you up and running, and you can then upgrade with a (relatively low-power) discrete GPU down the line, though bear in mind if you want the latest and greatest specs, including processor and RAM, you'll have to upgrade the entire PC, motherboard, too. Also note that you won't be able to keep many games installed at the same time on that 500 GB drive. Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600GT | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 512 GB SSD

ABS Cyclone Aqua | RTX 5060 | 16 GB DDR4
Don't expect to have a good time doing any intensive productivity tasks, but when it comes to entry-level gaming at 1080p or even 1440p with settings lowered, it'll do just fine thanks to the RTX 5060. Just bear in mind there's little room for upgrading the CPU and RAM down the line, as it's an older platform with DDR4. Key specs: Core 5 120 | RTX 5060 | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD

ABS Cyclone Aqua | RTX 5060 | Core 5 120
You're making quite a lot of sacrifices here to keep the price tag under $1,000—namely a pretty lacklustre CPU and only 16 GB of previous-gen RAM. But you are getting an RTX 5060 machine for a very reasonable price in today's market. That means decent, discrete graphics for 1080p and even some lighter 1440p gaming.

Stormcraft Viper | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4
There is a caveat to this one, which is that it's running just 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and judging by the picture, it's just a single stick. However, you're getting an RTX 5060 Ti in here for not too far north of $1,000, which is better than I've seen at this price point for quite some time. A future RAM upgrade will be in order, but for starters this is great. Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD Price check: Newegg OOS | Best Buy $1,549.99

Thermaltake LCGS NE | RTX 5070 | 16 GB DDR5
Gaming PCs with Nvidia GPUs in are getting more and more expensive, so you're not getting quite as good value as you can find for an RX 9070 XT build. But if you're looking to stick to Team Green for a mid-range rig, I'd say this is a good bet for the right side of $2,000. Even if that is just a single stick of DDR5 in there.
