I never bought Lenovo Legion Go Sor even inserted it into our best pocket computers list, funny how much fat there is Black Friday Lower prices can massage the desirability gland. And it helps that these savings cover not only the budget Ryzen Z2 Go model I originally reviewed, but also the top-end Z1 Extreme with an upgraded 32GB of RAM—and the same SteamOS instead of the clunky Windows. What extra memory probably costs around four billion pounds On its own, although while it lasts, the Primo Legion Go S retails for £599 in the UK (a saving of £100) and $650 in the US (a saving of $250).
Oddly enough, this makes it only $1 more expensive than the equivalent 1TB. Steam OLED panel. The latter is still a bargain in my book, but objectively it has a smaller, slower, lower resolution display than the Legion Go S. And while I haven't tested the Z1 Extreme version, we know that from that chip's performance in Asus ROG Ally X that it outperforms the deck's internal components in similar gaming tests. Both handhelds even support SteamOS, but the Legion Go S has a couple more premium features, like drift resistance. Hall effect joysticks and adjustable triggers.
So the big advantages of the Deck OLED remain quietness and, given the longevity of both the ROG Ally X and Legion's own Z2 Go, battery life. Of course, both are important qualities for a portable device. But when they are so close in price, the choice becomes much more difficult.
