The Legion Go S looks SWEET. - Lenovo at CES 2025

The video opens with a look at Lenovo’s Legion Go S as part of a CES 2025 overview, highlighting how Lenovo is expanding its handheld lineup beyond the Legion Go 2. The host notes a redesigned cooling system inside the Go S to support the new hardware, specifically the AMD Z2 Extreme S, which features eight Zen5 cores and 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units. While the Go S shares the detachable controllers and kickstand design with the original concept, its core change is performance-oriented, with a focus on delivering better thermal management and a more portable footprint. In terms of display and battery, the Go S uses an 8-inch class panel with a 1920x1200 LCD resolution at up to 120 Hz, and Lenovo has increased the internal battery capacity to support longer play sessions. The presenter also contrasts the Go S with the Legion Go 2, noting the Go S runs a Windows variant, while the Go 2 is positioned as a SteamOS option, and both models are designed to address different segments of handheld gaming. A sponsor segment from dbrand introduces protective cases and a Kill Switch accessory line for the device, underscoring the ecosystem approach to ruggedizing and accessorizing the handheld. Viewers are teased with pricing and model distinctions, including the Go S Windows variant and a SteamOS version that starts at a lower price, with additional accessories like tempered glass screen protectors coming in February. The overall takeaway is that Lenovo is pushing a more affordable yet capable handheld option with the Go S, while the Go 2 targets those who want OLED and slightly higher-end specs. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to check the links for preorders, cases, and to subscribe for more unboxings and impressions.
