A real expanding screen straight out of science fiction! Antonio, Andrew and I couldn’t stop grinning, particularly as Lenovo encouraged us to just use the $3500 ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 instead of treating it like some fragile prototype.

Physically, and on paper, I would pick this one over the original Legion Go in a heartbeat. It feels so much better — and it’s the first third-party handheld with SteamOS, which vastly improves that feel.

The Legion Go S is the immediate successor to the Legion Go handheld, minus the detachable gamepads / mouse / kickstand and plus a SteamOS option. But a Legion Go 2 is coming sometime in 2025, Lenovo has announced.

Technically, the laptop needs the “Hyperboost” update, too — but after it’s applied to both, Razer says its Blade 16 can run its mobile RTX 4090 graphics chip at 20 watts higher TDP — from 150W TGP to 170W TGP, yielding a 30–40fps improvement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (here, from 142fps to 184fps average).

Valve just squashed its second Steam Deck-adjacent rumor in one day. “We’re not currently working with GPD on official SteamOS support,” Valve designer Lawrence Yang tells The Verge.
