I wrote about a deal on the Asus ROG Xbox Ally a few weeks ago and suggested it as a solid alternative to the Steam Deck while it was suffering with stock issues. Almost a month later, and the situation hasn't improved for Valve's popular handheld — but now there's another deal on a handheld gaming PC worth considering instead. It's the Lenovo Legion Go S at Amazon for £404.10 (was £549.99).
What makes the Lenovo Legion Go S an even more compelling alternative to the Steam Deck is the fact that it runs on the same SteamOS as Valve's handheld. Having used it on my own Deck, it's just better designed for that form factor, making it smoother and easier to browse and play your library of games.
Today's best handheld gaming PC deal
I said last time that, when it comes to a Steam Deck alternative, there are very few options with similar capabilities in its price range. I called out the Lenovo Legion Go S as a potential, but only when it's on sale. Well, if you are tired of waiting for a Steam Deck restock, here's your other option.
We thought it was an excellent option for anyone with a large Steam library in our Lenovo Legion Go S review. "A compact beauty that can play most of the games in your Steam library," is how we summarised it. Of course, some compromises have to be made for the latest and most demanding games, and battery life isn't the best, but this is still a great handheld for the price.
