SteamOS is finally officially here—on non-Valve hardware.
This is a full hands-on review of the Lenovo Legion Go S with the Z1 Extreme chip and 32GB of RAM, running SteamOS out of the box. We compare performance, battery life, build quality, and real-world gameplay against the ROG Ally, Steam Deck OLED, original Legion Go, and even the 880M iGPU in Windows laptops.
Benchmarks include:
Cyberpunk 2077 (Steam Deck Preset, FSR3)
Returnal
Dirt 5
We also cover:
SteamOS vs Windows performance
VRR display quirks
Battery life tests
Speaker & fan comparisons
Ergonomics, joystick tension, and hall effect performance
