The Lenovo Steamos Legion will cost $ 50 more than expected

THE Steam version of Lenovo’s Legion Go S The portable game PC made its debut at CES 2025 with a somewhat attractive price of $ 499.99. At this price, The penisSean Hollister considered that it was a real steam bridge rival, stuck well between the cost of the $ 399 in valve LCD and $ 549 Oled Models. The laptop has recently mounted to Pre -order at Best Buy With a higher price of $ 549.99 (and a release date on May 25), and the communications director of Lenovo, Jeff Witt, confirmed The penis Whether it’s the new cost for the basic model.

What is done is done, I suppose, but the price of $ 499.99 seemed just for the Legion Go S. Despite its advantages on the Steam Pont and Oled models (Hall Effect Joysticks, an 8 -inch larger screen with a variable refresh rate, a comfortable design, adjustable triggers), its Ryzen Z2 Go Chip Blurned. In fact, the GO S models based on Windows that Sean and I tested were surpassed by the Steam bridge. The simple fact of exchanging the operating system will cure headache (mainly, that windows on pocket computers are an atrocious experience), but it is not clear if it will somehow allow the Z2 to do more.

A price leap of $ 50 will probably not spend a failure for this device, but it makes the arrival of the third -party pocket computer from Steamos a little less exciting. It is not the only third -party pocket computer to get steamos this year; Valve confirmed that he was working on the addition of support for Asus Rog Ally. Pierre-Loup Griffais, one of the main designers of Steamos and the steam bridge, shared with The penis At CES 2025, a beta experience “will send after March one day”.
