Lenovo is preparing to introduce Legion Go S, a more affordable version of the existing Legion Go model, to appeal to a wider audience in the portable gaming PC market. Legion Go, which was first released at an international price of $700, can now be purchased for $484.99 with a discount (its price is approximately 35 thousand TL in Turkey), while the new Legion Go S model is expected to have a starting price of approximately $399. This move is considered as the company’s strategy to strengthen its position in the portable gaming world.
According to leaked information, AMD’s Rembrandt APU will be used in the Legion Go S model. This APU includes Zen 3-plus cores instead of Zen 4 found in the previously released Ryzen Z1 Extreme processors. This indicates that the new device may offer slightly lower performance than the current model. However, considering the price difference, it is stated that the device may become an attractive option especially for budget-conscious users.
From a design perspective, the differences of Legion Go S also attract attention. The device has two USB-C ports on the top, but there are no ports on the bottom. Additionally, the D-pad appears to be in a more compact, circular form instead of the four-way design on the original model. Choosing a TrackPoint-style mouse controller instead of a trackpad stands out as one of the details that can differentiate the user experience.
Legion Go S will come in white color option
According to the leaked images of Legion Go S, it appears that the device will be offered in white color and will have non-removable grips and triggers. While this design has been compared to the first Asus ROG Ally model, the current Legion Go is known to offer detachable controllers similar to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers. How the new model will affect users with these design changes will become clearer when the device is released.
It is clear that Lenovo aims to increase competition in the portable gaming computer market with this new device. Especially considering the market share of rival devices such as Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, more affordable models such as Legion Go S can provide Lenovo with a significant advantage in this competition. But differences in performance and features will play an important role in determining users’ final preferences.
Lenovo has not yet made an official statement about the release date and detailed technical specifications of Legion Go S. However, considering the accuracy of the leaked information, the device is expected to be introduced soon. This is seen as an exciting development for gamers looking for a new alternative in the portable gaming device market.
It seems possible for Lenovo to reshape the price-performance balance in the world of portable gaming devices with this more affordable model. The impact of this step, which aims to offer both an economical and functional alternative for gamers, on the market will be more clearly understood after the device is put on sale.
