This gaming handheld has a great screen and comfortable ergonomics. Just replace Windows with Bazzite and you’re off.

If gaming hardware prices have you looking for less expensive alternatives, Amazon has the Windows version of the Lenovo Legion Go S on sale for $549.99 (typically around $700) for Prime Day, matching a previous low we spotted at Woot a month or so ago. What it lacks in raw performance, it makes up for with an excellent 120Hz panel with variable refresh rate, a comfortable, ergonomic design, and fast-charging speeds. Given the recent spikes in price for anything with memory inside, we’re happy to take a deal where we can on capable hardware, particularly if you’re just looking for something that can handle a bit of Cyberpunk 2077 on your next flight.
Lenovo’s 8-inch handheld gaming PC with Windows 11 and a Ryzen Z2 Go chip, not to be confused with the SteamOS version, or versions with the Z1 Extreme chip.
While this Windows gaming handheld didn’t exactly impress us with its performance at launch, some of that disappointment came from its relatively high $730 launch price. At release, the Z2 Go chip didn’t feel competitive with other machines around the same price range, and the more expensive Z1 Extreme offered a significant jump in FPS. The prices on the other machines have risen, but the Z2 Go version has gone on sale more frequently and feels like a better value in the summer of 2026 than even a few months ago. Microsoft has also continued to support Windows on console and handheld systems with updates and fixes, and the result is much smoother to use than it was when the Legion Go first debuted. You also don’t have to keep Windows on it, and you probably shouldn’t.
As Sean Hollister wrote last week in his guide to handheld gaming PCs,
At $550 closeout like we saw the other day, sure, put Bazzite on it. It should slightly beat the Steam Deck in performance using its turbo modes after that. Please don’t pay much more. Also please don’t expect its tiny trackpad to be useful.
