Memory and storage prices will be inflated for the foreseeable future, so we’re always happy to find a good deal on capable gaming hardware, like this discount on the Lenovo Legion Go S with a Z2 Go processor and SteamOS. Normally $1,137.41 (and selling for close to $1,000 at Best Buy), Lenovo has the handheld console on sale for just $635.54 when you use code EXTRASAVEAFF at checkout, the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this model.

We reviewed both the Windows and SteamOS versions of this gaming handheld when it released in 2024, and found the latter to be a much more appealing option, largely thanks to the improved user experience that Windows has shown signs that it’s slowly catching up to. The Z2 Go chip isn’t all that impressive, with similar performance to the more expensive OLED Steam Deck, but it’s still a solid choice for indie games and more spec-intensive titles if you turn the settings down. The 8-inch IPS panel goes up to 120Hz, and has variable refresh rate, which helps the Legion Go S stand out among other options at the same price.
