CES 2025: The Lenovo Legion Go S is the first third-party SteamOS handheld

At CES 2025, Lenovo showed off the Legion Go S, which will come in two different versions: a Windows 11 model and a SteamOS model, which is the first of its kind from a third-party manufacturer.

It’s big, beefy, comes with a lot of extra equipment like detachable controllers and it supports vertical mouse functionality that lets it adapt to all sorts of situations. Notably, you still get analog sticks with Hall Effect sensors, which you don’t get on rivals like ASUS’ pricey ROG Ally X. Lenovo also moved to a new pivot-style D-pad, though I’m not sure that counts as a true upgrade as I tend to prefer the classic cross-style ones. The small hiccup is that a higher-end version of Legion Go S running Windows 11 is expected to go on sale first sometime later this month starting at $730 with an AMD Z2 Go processor, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
