When Valve released the Steam Deck, PC manufacturers realized there could be a new market for small, handheld computers that are capable of running games.

In fact, Lenovo may be launching two gaming handhelds very soon. The successor to its popular Legion Go flagship, and a smaller, more affordable handheld we now know is called the Legion Go S (previously called the Legion Go Lite).

The Legion Go S leak shows it will come in a white colorway with non-removable grips and triggers that resemble the first Asus ROG Ally. The current Legion Go model has removable controller grips, like the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers.

Some clear changes from the original Legion Go include a more rounded look, a change in layout with the Menu and View buttons now closer to the display, and having no touchpad. However, the biggest change of all is the lack of detachable controllers — one of the Legion Go's unique highlights.

The Legion Go cemented Lenovo as a player in the handheld PC market. Its success seemed stilted perhaps based on price. An update is inbound.

The Lenovo Legion Go has a huge 8.8-inch display, runs Windows, and includes detachable controllers like the Nintendo Switch.

A more affordable Lenovo Windows handheld gaming PC is in the works. The Legion Go was Lenovo’s first Windows handheld gaming PC and it launched

While it’s tempting to think that means the Legion Go S will be a step backward, keep in mind that Valve’s Steam Deck continues to be one of the most popular handheld gaming PCs several years after launch, and it has a AMD “Aerith” and “Sepiroth” chips featuring Zen 2 CPUs and RNDA 2 graphics.

For Cyber Monday, Amazon has the lowest price on one of the best gaming handhelds on the market, especially if you prefer a Windows-based operating system. Right now you can pick up a Lenovo Legion Go gaming handheld for only $472.
