Sign in to your XDA account We've seen the Legion Go S 8 get a steep discount before. But this new promotion takes things to another level. Best Buy is now taking $680 off the usual retail price, dropping it down to $900 for a very limited time. This is the best price we've seen on this model, making it a good time to pick one up. Lenovo Legion Go S 8 (SteamOS) $900 $1580 Save $680 A powerful portable game console running SteamOS. If you've been thinking about grabbing something like this, now's going to be a good time. All the power you need on the go The Legion Go S 8 powered by SteamOS features some impressive hardware to run all your favorite games. You get a AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip paired with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. There's also a microSD card slot if you want to add extra storage, with support for up to 2TB. It also has an 8-inch 120Hz touchscreen that delivers great colors and contrast, along with impressive smoothness with support for VRR. What sets this model apart from early PC gaming handhelds is that it runs SteamOS. With SteamOS you get a silky smooth interface and robust performance when compared to its Windows counterparts. When it comes to the weight, you're looking at 730 grams, which is quite hefty. While this device is labeled as being portable, it's not something that will easily fit into your pocket or backpack, for that matter. I've traveled with my Steam Deck, which is smaller than the Legion Go S 8, and it can be a chore. But having PC games at the ready makes it worth it. It's an absolute must if you're away from your PC and need to get in some gaming sessions. You can even dock the Legion Go S 8 and use it as a Linux PC if you want. You'll be surprised how versatile it can be. Get it now for $680 below its retail. You won't regret it.
