HowTo Geek ☛ Want a Steam Deck 2? Lenovo's Legion Go S Will Get You Halfway There
If you want a handheld gaming PC that doesn't require a ton of tinkering or troubleshooting, Lenovo's Legion Go S with SteamOS is the only Steam Deck alternative worth considering. It's not perfect, but it's the closest you can get to a "Steam Deck 2" today, at least in terms of horsepower, pricing, and ease of use.
I should clarify that there are two versions of the Legion Go S. The model I'm reviewing comes preloaded with SteamOS, while the other version, which has a white chassis, ships with Windows 11. There's also a choice of two different processors—the high-end AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme, which I'm testing, or the standard AMD Ryzen Z2 Go.
