When Valve released the Steam Deck, PC manufacturers realized there could be a new market for small, handheld computers that are capable of running games. Lenovo released the Legion Go and Asus released the ROG Ally.
Windows Central managed to get hold of the first official renders of Lenovo’s upcoming gaming handheld, the Legion Go S. And it looks like Asus may have found the right form-factor as Lenovo’s new device looks similar to the Asus ROG Ally (and its successor the ROG Ally X — which TechCrunch reviewed earlier).
Lenovo appears to be going back to basics with the new handheld as the detachable sticks, kickstand, and trackpad are gone. But there looks to be a nub on the right-hand side to control the mouse.
According to Windows Central, the Legion Go S is supposed to be a budget device, so it should be less powerful than the full-fledged Legion Go (or Asus’ ROG Ally X). We’ll likely learn more about Lenovo’s incoming hardware at CES in January 2025.
