    The REAL Steam Deck 2? | Legion Go S Steam OS Review

    Thank you to Lenovo for sending over the Legion Go S! The Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS is finally here — and it might just be the Steam Deck 1.5 we’ve been waiting for. After the underwhelming Windows version earlier this year, Lenovo swapped in the powerful AMD Z1 Extreme APU and partnered with Valve to ship SteamOS out of the box. The result? A handheld that’s faster, smoother, and more user-friendly in every way.In this review, I’ll cover:✅ SteamOS vs Windows experience on handhelds✅ Specs & performance (Z1 Extreme, 32GB LPDDR5X, 120Hz FreeSync display)✅ Design & build (Nebula Nocturne finish, Steam button, dual USB-C ports)✅ Display comparison vs Steam Deck (8” 1200p vs 800p OLED)✅ Battery life real-world tests (90 min at full TDP, up to 6h light use)✅ Comfort & ergonomics — bigger screen, bigger weight✅ Pros & cons compared to the Steam Deck and ROG Ally XIf you’ve been waiting for a SteamOS handheld alternative to the Deck, this might be the one to grab. But with bigger power also comes tradeoffs — heavier weight, shorter battery, and limited non-Steam libraries unless you tinker.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 – Intro0:40 – Hardware & Specs1:30 – Design & Build2:30 – SteamOS Experience3:45 – Display & Comfort5:00 – Performance6:15 – Battery Life7:10 – Inputs & Touchpad7:40 – Final Verdict🔥 Would you pick this over a Steam Deck, or are you waiting for a true Steam Deck 2?
