Lenovo's Legion Go S has dropped by 14% this Prime Day, beating the Steam Deck in price and performance

Legion Go S: was $849.99 now $730.75
It may not be OLED but this handheld pairs a lovely bright screen with a comfortable design and strong battery life. And it's not that far off its launch price, which is a surprise given the memory crisis.

Key specs: AMD Ryzen Z2 Go | 8 inch 120 Hz 1080p IPS | 512 GB SSD | 16 GBView Deal

A good handheld gaming PC feels like a game changer. Just last night, I was tucked up in bed playing Elden Ring on one, and realised just how far gaming has come in the last few decades.

But with the memory crisis bringing up the price of the Steam Deck (the cheapest model is currently $789), the budget end of the market has more or less dropped out. Thus, I suggest picking up a Lenovo Legion Go S and its Ryzen Z2 Go chip instead of a Steam Deck if you plan on buying one any time soon. Down to $731 at Amazon, it's a solid choice.

This gaming handheld, with this specific configuration, started with a retail price of $650, which honestly makes this quite a good deal given the state of the memory crisis. We reviewed this model last year (though with bigger storage and memory) and found it to be comfortable in the hand and to have a strong battery life. For gaming handhelds, that battery life is very important.

At the time, we said it was too expensive (oh, those were the days) and had poorer performance than current-gen handhelds, but the ROG Ally X and OneXPlayer we compared it to at the time will fetch you a lot more.
