$580 off/$1,000

We just spotted a deal at Best Buy that drops Lenovo’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme-powered Legion Go S SteamOS gaming handheld down to $999.99 shipped. This is originally a $900 unit, which has jumped up to fetch as much as $1,580 amid the recent price hikes. Today’s deal takes a huge $580 off that current going rate to mark one of the lowest prices we have tracked for it in recent months. You’re looking at some serious value here considering the lower-end 16GB/512GB variant itself is still going for $850, while this discounted model steps up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for just $150 more. Deals on gaming handhelds have been much harder to come by lately, and this is one of the better offers we’ve seen on the Legion Go S in recent months. Head below for more details.

The Legion Go S highlighted here is one of Lenovo’s more powerful gaming handhelds, with this higher-end configuration pairing a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. You’re getting an 8-inch 120Hz display here, which should be great for playing all your favorite titles on the go, and this model also has the familiar shell with an ergonomic grip design that helps it feel less cramped during longer gaming sessions. Lenovo also fitted the Go S with a larger rear fan than the standard Legion Go to help keep thermals in check, and this one runs SteamOS to deliver a more console-like experience compared with the Windows model we previously tested. You can check out our hands-on impressions of the Windows version here.
