Tester av Lenovo Legion Go S
Lenovo Legion Go S är tänkt att vara en mångsysslare bland handdatorer för spel. Lenovo erbjuder den för närvarande med Windows och från och med maj kommer den även att finnas tillgänglig med Valves speloperativsystem. På grund av den något långsamma APU:n och Windows klarade sig dock inte handdatorn helt bra under vårt test.

Låt dig inte luras av att det är en ny generationssiffra på AMD-processorn. Det här är ett markant steg bakåt i prestanda jämfört med första Legion Go, och både skärm och funktionsrikedom från tidigare har bantats ner. Den är lite billigare, och lättare, men inte tillräckligt. En Windows-spelkonsol behöver en lägstanivå som inte nås här.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is good at what it aims to be: an entry-level, budget-friendly handheld gaming PC that can deliver solid performance on lower settings. While it’s currently one of the most affordable current-gen handhelds on the market, it does make compromises when it comes to performance. It consistently fell short of the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and the Asus ROG Ally X in our testing. However, the Legion Go S can still deliver a fun gaming experience on Medium or Low graphics, particularly in lightweight titles and indie games. So, the Legion Go S can be a good option for entry-level PC gamers or gamers who are looking for something under $800. With that said, though, you can get a significant bump in performance for only $70 more with the Asus ROG Ally X, so if you have a little bit more money to spend, it would be worth it.

But again, the Steam Deck does efficiency better. Simply limiting frame rate to 25fps and brightness to 40 percent can yield over eight hours of Balatro on the Deck, and I’ve gotten four hours, 42 minutes in Dave the Diver there. With the Legion Go S, my Dave only got 2.5 hours to hunt those sushi ingredients and blow up fake environmentalists! I am comfortable saying no one should buy the Windows version of the Lenovo Legion Go S, which costs $730 at Best Buy. Even if the performance, battery life, and price weren’t disqualifiers, Windows is a stain on this machine. And like other recent Windows handhelds I’ve tested, it does not reliably go to sleep and wake up again: I woke several mornings to find the system hot with fans spinning, even though I’d pressed the power button the previous evening.

The Windows-powered Legion Go S isn't a total bust from Lenovo. The display is great, and so are the speakers. There are also some nice software features, including fully customizable buttons. However, there are so many confusing choices here that ruin the experience: the quad-core Ryzen Z2 Go chipset leaves much to be desired, the whole thing is too heavy, there's no "gotta have it" feature, and poor hardware decisions (like the tiniest trackpad on Earth) make it cumbersome and mediocre to actually use. When you add in the sky-high asking price, it's hard for me to recommend this to anyone when more powerful and/or more user-friendly options exist for less cash.

Pre-orders for the Lenovo Legion Go S are live at Best Buy. Prices start at $730. I recommend this handheld for people who want a lightweight console with rich audio output. If you prefer something with better performance and superior battery life, I suggest the MSI Claw 8 AI+. While gaming, the Claw 8 lasts twice as long as the Legion Go S -- at 4.5 hours -- although it is more expensive.

Overall, the Lenovo Legion Go S is a very nice Windows gaming handheld. Here’s the bottom line, from my perspective. If your goal is to buy a Windows gaming handheld for Xbox gaming and Steam gaming, the Legion Go S competes with the rest of the pack in this way. It’s a little pricey, but it’s built well and has very nice features and specs, so the value is there. The question you need to ask yourself is. Do you want to find a slightly larger and heavier Legion Go and save some money? Or perhaps wait for the SteamOS version of this? Or just buy a SteamDeck? I can’t tell you what to do. All I can say is; I believe this Lenovo Legion Go S gives you value for the money.

In Tony's Lenovo Legion Go S review, he'll break down everything you need to know about the latest Windows 11 handheld to hit the market. It serves as a more portable version of the Lenovo Legion Go, ditching detachable controllers for a more streamlined ergonomic design. It also features a sharp 8-inch LCD display and decent battery life. While Lenovo Legion Go S has plenty of strong attributes, it’s not perfect. In this video, check out Tony's reasons to buy and reasons to skip Lenovo’s latest handheld, as well as some caveats to consider before buying.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is a beautiful piece of hardware. When I picked it up and held it in my hands, touching the controls, I felt like I was going to have a great experience. It feels great to hold — and, when you’re playing a game that uses most of the gaming controls (not that tiny touchpad), it feels awesome to play games on. But then I turned it on and I was faced with the frustration of using Windows on a handheld gaming PC. I found the battery draining much faster than it does on my Steam Deck, but I didn’t notice a huge performance increase over gaming on a Steam Deck. And I remembered this machine costs much more than a Steam Deck. If Lenovo’s hardware was less expensive, it would be compelling.

Of all the PC gaming handhelds I’ve tried, the Legion Go S comes closest to matching the feeling I got when first picking up a Steam Deck. Lenovo has nailed the shape of the system and the controls are fantastic. The tiny touchpad is my only real ergonomic irk. It has a bright, colourful screen, and using LCD tech instead of OLED is fine with me when it helps keep the price low enough to be a genuine alternative to Valve’s machine. The custom Ryzen silicon being a half-step behind the Steam Deck on performance isn’t a deal-breaker either, even if it does feel a tad mismatched to the 1200p display resolution. Battery life is pretty average too, but the biggest issue is that Windows is still a dud on small touchscreens.

This configuration of the Legion Go S—currently the only one available—is difficult to recommend. Though it features a comfortable ergonomic design, an excellent 8-inch display, and an easy-to-use launcher, its lackluster performance and Windows 11 headaches make the $729 asking price hard to justify. If you’re looking for an alternative Windows 11 handheld and are willing to pay a bit more, the Asus ROG Ally X ($799) is a fantastic choice. And though it costs $899, the MSI Claw 8 AI+ offers strong performance, long battery life, and an 8-inch display. If you’ve yet to jump on the Steam Deck hype train, the 1TB $649 model is the best overall handheld for playing PC games. But we shouldn’t completely dismiss the Lenovo Legion Go S, as upcoming versions could potentially make it a true Steam Deck rival.

Lenovo has released the first AMD “Z2” powered gaming handheld, and while it's one of the most comfortable and attractive devices I’ve used, it’s too badly positioned to recommend to everyone. Priced at $729, the Lenovo Legion Go S has rolled out with a low-tier Z2 Go chip that’s somehow weaker than the Z1 Extreme but largely performs as well as the $799 Asus ROG Ally X. Unfortunately, it’s a hard sell when you consider Lenovo will release a $599 Windows OS version, $499 SteamOS model, and a more powerful Z2 and/or Z2 Extreme configuration later this May. The Lenovo Legion Go S can be an excellent gaming handheld for the right price and configuration that will likely be released later this year. It offers fantastic ergonomics with extra comforts like adjustable triggers and a mini trackpad.

While it's too soon to say how well the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip in the new Lenovo Legion Go S performs, what time I was able to spend with the handheld showed me that another PC gaming handheld world is possible.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is the gaming handheld many have been waiting for. That’s because Lenovo’s new device is the first non-Steam Deck handheld that runs on SteamOS. Combine that with the power of the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme or AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip, and you have all the right pieces for what could be the best handheld gaming consoles yet.

Lenovo is trying an experiment. In May, it will officially become the very first company outside of Valve to ship a handheld gaming PC with the Steam Deck’s wonderfully pick-up-and-play SteamOS instead of Microsoft Windows. And at $499, it’ll be a true Steam Deck rival, joining it as one of the lower-priced PC handhelds you can buy. That handheld will be the 1.6-pound Lenovo Legion Go S, a new and improved version of the company’s eight-inch handheld that ditches the Nintendo Switch-like detachable gamepads and kickstand for a lighter and more traditional design, with a sculpted grip that felt supremely comfortable in my hands.

Even though we have to wait until May 2025 to check out the SteamOS Legion Go S, I’m still looking forward to testing its Windows 11-powered counterpart in January. The smaller form factor should make it easier to use, and I’m eager to see how the updated D-Pad and new trigger locks hold up. But right now, the Legion Go S looks like one of 2025’s standout gaming handhelds. It shouldn’t be long until we get a unit to review, so stay tuned!

The Lenovo Legion Go is sort of like the SUV of gaming handhelds. It’s big and beefy and comes with extra equipment like detachable controllers, a kickstand and vertical mouse functionality that lets it adapt to all sorts of situations. Unfortunately, those features made it kind of bulky too, so at CES 2025, Lenovo is announcing a slightly more portable version called the Legion Go S with support for not one but two different OSes.

Det här är mindre avancerade grafikkort för användare som ändå vill kunna spela spel. Nya spel bör vara spelbara, men ofta bara med låga detaljinställningar och låg upplösning. Eftersom moderna grafikkort i den här klassen har låg strömförbrukning kan även batteritiden vara bra.

Större skärmar möjliggör högre upplösning så att detaljer som bokstäver blir större och jämnare. Å andra sidan är strömförbrukningen lägre med mindre skärmar och enheterna är överlag mindre, lättare och billigare. » För att ta reda på mer om skärmupplösning, läs vår DPI-lista.
