【Triple Play episode 5 season 1 - Joe and Mandi】

Welcome back to the incredible week of tech announcements at CES. We now have Triple Play episode 5 season 1 - Joe and Mandia robot vacuum with an arm to clean up your stray socks and a laptop with a rollable screen.

But in the wonderful world of gaming, we're all eyes on Lenovo which just dropped two exciting announcements about the new Legion Go S handheld, which will start shipping out later this month. However, some models aren't slated to ship until May.

Here's everything we know so far.

The standout details

The Legion Go S is an updated version of last year's Legion Go, with a few modifications that make it more travel-friendly and easier to toss into a backpack, weighing a bit over 1.5 pounds. For starters, the Legion Go S doesn't have detachable controllers and the display is a bit smaller — using an 8-inch FHD display compared to the 8.8-inch GHD we got with the Legion Go. It also uses the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Go CPU.

In many aspects, the new Legion Go S is a bit like a lite version of the Legion Go.

But one of the most important notes here is that while we're getting a Windows-based Legion Go S, we're also getting a SteamOS model, which clocks this as the first ever third-party handheld besides Valve's own Steam Deck. But unlike the Windows version that drops later in the month, we're going to have to wait until May to get our hands on the SteamOS version.

Where can you buy the Lenovo Legion Go S?

The Lenovo Legion Go S is available to pre-order for $729.99 from Best Buy. High-end gaming doesn’t need a massive price tag. We get that it's still a lot of money, but players are getting a lot of bang for their buck.

Lenovo's ordering page for the Windows 11 Legion Go S is still hanging out with a "coming soon" banner, but having the page itself is a step in the right direction.

Nitty gritty pricing details

More good news is that many models of the new Lenovo Legion Go S will be more affordable compared to the $749.99 price of the current Lenovo Legion Go.

The Windows-based version, launching this month, will come in at $729.99 with the 8-inch display and 1TB storage. Lenovo mentioned other Windows configurations will come in May, with an expected starting price of $599.99.

The more expensive version uses an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor which is the same CPU as the standard Legion Go. Less expensive models will have an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor.

Lenovo's other exciting announcement

Also at CES, Lenovo also packed along a prototype of the new Legion Go 2, which they've slated as a "refined" version of the original. With an 8.8-inch display and detachable controllers, the handheld is fairly similar to the original model but comes with some pretty nice improvements like a more ergonomic soft plastic coating and a new fingerprint reader. It'll also come with a new OLED display and an 8-direction D-pad.

Lenovo didn't announce pricing on the new Legion Go 2, but said we should expect a release sometime in 2025.
