I swapped my PC for Lenovo's SteamOS handheld - and don't miss Windows at all

This version of the Legion Go S ditches Windows 11 for a lighter operating system specialized for gaming.

Back in January, Valve (the developer of Steam) announced it would begin licensing the operating system to third-party companies, with Lenovo being the first (and at the time of this writing, only) partner. Textured grips on the side stop slipping, hall-effect analog sticks maintain accuracy and prevent drifting, and the switches on the back affect the travel distance for the rear triggers. AAA games like Monster Hunter Wilds have a harder time running on the Legion Go S. Graphics are blurry, and performance slows down when there's a lot on screen.
