When Valve released the Steam Deck, PC manufacturers realized there could be a new market for small, handheld computers that are capable of running games.

The Legion Go S leak shows it will come in a white colorway with non-removable grips and triggers that resemble the first Asus ROG Ally. The current Legion Go model has removable controller grips, like the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.

In fact, Lenovo may be launching two gaming handhelds very soon. The successor to its popular Legion Go flagship, and a smaller, more affordable handheld we now know is called the Legion Go S (previously called the Legion Go Lite).

Some clear changes from the original Legion Go include a more rounded look, a change in layout with the Menu and View buttons now closer to the display, and having no touchpad. However, the biggest change of all is the lack of detachable controllers — one of the Legion Go's unique highlights.

The Lenovo Legion Go has a huge 8.8-inch display, runs Windows, and includes detachable controllers like the Nintendo Switch.

The Lenovo LOQ Tower Cyber Monday deal is now $549 at a whopping $350 off. It comes with RTX 3050, an i5 14400, and 16GB RAM.

While it’s tempting to think that means the Legion Go S will be a step backward, keep in mind that Valve’s Steam Deck continues to be one of the most popular handheld gaming PCs several years after launch, and it has a AMD “Aerith” and “Sepiroth” chips featuring Zen 2 CPUs and RNDA 2 graphics.
