Legion Go S: Cheaper Steam Deck OLED Alternative?
18 Oct
Summary
- Legion Go S offers a larger 1080p 120Hz screen than Steam Deck OLED.
- It features double the RAM and storage at a competitive discounted price.
- While not as powerful as the new Asus ROG Ally X20, it's a strong contender.
The Legion Go S emerges as a formidable contender in the handheld gaming market, offering a compelling alternative to devices like the Steam Deck OLED. This model boasts a larger eight-inch IPS screen with a 1080p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, surpassing the Steam Deck OLED's 800p and 90Hz display. Furthermore, it is equipped with double the RAM and storage, featuring 32GB and 1TB respectively, alongside a slightly more powerful Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor.
Currently available at a discounted price of $999.99, the Legion Go S presents an attractive proposition for consumers considering a premium handheld. Although it may not match the raw power of the recently launched $1,299.99 Asus ROG Ally X20, which features the Z2 Extreme and an OLED screen, the Legion Go S remains a highly capable device. Originally launched with Windows 11 and the Ryzen Z2 Go, a newer but less powerful chip, this specific configuration benefits significantly from SteamOS and its faster internal specifications, promising a superior gaming experience.
