Deal | Lenovo Legion Go S drops to $449.99 for Black Friday

The Lenovo Legion Go S launched at the beginning of the year, not as a successor to the Legion Go, but as a sort of step sibling. Available in Windows and SteamOS versions, the Legion Go S had a starting price of $599.99 for the SteamOS version and $649.99 for the Windows variant. Now, buyers can purchase both versions for less as a result of the ongoing Black Friday sales.

Both Best Buy and Amazon have slashed the price of the Legion Go S for Black Friday, however, neither of the deals are as good as the deal from July which had the Legion Go S (Windows) with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme, 32GB RAM, and 1TB storage for $499.99. Nevertheless, you are still saving some money even with these new deals.

The Legion Go S (with Windows) with a Ryzen Z2 Go processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage is available to buy for $579.99 on Amazon. That is $70 off its launch price, but Amazon says it is 15% off its typical price of $683.77. While you can purchase this and just install SteamOS on it, you may want to give Windows a try, especially now that the Xbox Full Screen Experience is available for all Windows handhelds.

Best Buy, on the other hand, has the Legion Go S (powered by SteamOS) with the same configuration above for $449.99, $100 off its launch price, or according to Best Buy, $200 off its comparable value price of $649.99. The SteamOS version has a purple finish, unlike the Windows version which is white.

If you want more power, RAM, and storage, Best Buy also has the Legion Go S (powered by SteamOS) with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $649.99, $250 off its comparable value price of $899.99.

The Legion Go S is definitely a cheaper option to the Legion Go 2 which starts at $1099. Although that cheaper price comes with some missing features such as a smaller LCD screen, lack of detachable controllers, and less-powerful processors. It also doesn't have an integrated kickstand, although you can purchase the Lenovo Legion Go Power Bank which has a kickstand and magnetically attaches to the back of the Legion Go S.
