Lenovo will keep grinding with Lenovo Go S & Go 2

Beside the proper offering in base of the recent announcements of both AMD and Nvidia, Lenovo did wanted to also use CS 2025 as a platform to announce what is next in their effort for portable PC Gaming with its Lenovo Go brand and we got not one, but two devices.

First, Lenovo confirmed the Lenovo Go S, a entry-level variant of the Lenovo Go original and will have the exclusive Go variant of the recently announced AMD Ryzen Z2 as part of your consideration.

The Lenovo Go S’ specs goes as follows:

• Display: 8-inch WUXGA 16:10 PureSight touch display with 120Hz refresh rate.
• Processor: AMD Ryzen Z2 Go or Z1 Extreme processors.
• RAM: Up to 32GB of 7500Mhz LPDDR5X RAM.
• Battery: 55.5Whr battery.
• Operating System: Runs Windows 11.
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6e support, two USB 4 ports, microSD card reader.

Despite not being a powerhouse in comparison with the original Legion Go, the Lenovo Legion Go S will actually be one of the few handhelds on the market to offer a 120Hz variable refresh rate screen, physically possible due the screen being with a 1920 x 1200 resolution.

The Legion Go S is expected to launch this month at a $499 price that includes 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage and with $100 more, you get 32GB RAM.

But wait… there’s more with SteamOS

A surprising note is that Lenovo and Valve are in a partnership which will bring a “Powered by SteamOs” variant of the Lenovo Go S with Valve adding:

With Lenovo’s announcement at CES 2025 of the Lenovo Legion Go S, we are pleased to share that their “Powered by SteamOS” model is the first handheld officially licensed to ship with Valve’s SteamOS. We built this operating system to provide a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC. SteamOS is the same operating system we run on Steam Deck, and the team is making updates to ensure it fully supports the Lenovo Legion Go S and provides the same seamless experience customers expect.

In addition, the same work that we are doing to support the Lenovo Legion Go S will improve compatibility with other handhelds. Ahead of Legion Go S shipping, we will be shipping a beta of SteamOS which should improve the experience on other handhelds, and users can download and test this themselves. And of course we’ll continue adding support and improving the experience with future releases.

Despite sharing the same tech spec, the SteamOs variant of the Lenovo Go S will not lauch along the regular Windows 11 based device, but will do so by May at a $499 cost for a model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

About the Legion Go 2

Lenovo of course showed the Legion Go S as a proper “follow-up” for the Legion Go, but the true successor is officially in development and slated to be launch this very 2025.

Also, the company said that we should expect its specs to include the Ryzen Z2 Extreme with a 8.8-inch 144Hz OLED screen with VRR ready, and a big 74Wh battery.
