Gaming handhelds have become extremely popular over the past couple of years. It seems pretty much every major brand has a gaming handheld. The popularity of these devices makes sense as so many people prefer gaming on the go while they are travelling, on their commute, and if you are purely gaming these devices are far less expensive than a gaming PC. Obviously for me a gaming handheld is not something I considered as I’ve been a PC gamer for so long. But Lenovo offered to send over their Legion Go S and I was intrigued. While I’ve played with these types of devices at events, I haven’t actually spent a considerable amount of time using them. So in this review I will be going over my time with the Lenovo Legion Go S and if I would actually recommend it to someone who is looking into picking up a gaming handheld. The Lenovo Go S is Lenovo’s second gaming handheld and features a unibody design, AMD’s Z2 Go processor, 32GB of memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, a 1920 x 1200 120 Hz IPS display, and fast charging. Let’s jump in and see what this gaming handheld is all about!
Special thanks to Lenovo for providing us with the Legion Go S to review.
