Fresh Lenovo Legion Go S Design Leak Reveals Colorways and Mystery Steam Button
We have already witnessed a multitude of rumors surrounding the Legion Go S gaming handheld. The product is expected to boast an AMD Ryzen Z2 chip, which, unfortunately, will be based on the older Zen 3+ architecture and features a Radeon 680M iGPU. The system will include 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory, and an 8-inch, 1200p IPS display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. As for pricing, the Legion Go S is expected to cost around €600, and most likely cheaper outside of Europe, putting it in the ballpark of the Steam Deck OLED. Now, leaker Evan Blass has shared a few more images of the device, further revealing a few more details.
Firstly, the image reveals the colorways that the Legion Go S will be available in: black and white. Interestingly, the image also reveals what appears to be a button that is dedicated for Steam, which, so far, we have only seen in the Steam Deck. As VideoCardz notes, there is no concrete information at the moment regarding the purpose of the button. It is possible that the Legion Go S might run SteamOS, although the button might also exist to simply open up Steam. Unfortunately, the leak gives us no further information regarding the product. The Legion Go S is expected to see the light of day at CES 2025, which, luckily for us, happens to be just around the corner.

Cut the 120 to 60 and workshop the cost of switching to an equivalent size 900p OLED. For what this offers, the ASUS ROG Ally is right there and will likely be better value than this thing's launch price. What a travesty. I would consider this if they managed to offer a barebones (no-storage, no-charger, Bring-Your-Own-OS) version for ~$280. At least then I can scrape by on sourcing my own 2230-size drive for a total price I can justify.
Unless it has 6-cores and 680M, then that would be semi-new.
That can only mean SteamOS since the quick system menu isn't available for Windows.
As for paying for steam, why would I, since I don't do gamz, and even if I did, I would never, ever pay $600 for a handheld toi pad thing to play them on, regardless of brand, OS, or form factor (as opposed to building a regular pc/gamin rig) ?
I know you've been here long enough & have read enough of my posts to know this, so I'm not sure what made you question my reason for posting my poke-fun-at-the-gamrz comment(s), but if that makes you happy, so be it, hehehe :D
