I never bought a Lenovo Legion Go S, or even slotted it into our best handheld PCs list, though it’s funny how much a fat Black Friday price cut can massage the desirability gland. And it helps that these savings cover not just the budget Ryzen Z2 Go model I originally reviewed, but the top-of-the-line Z1 Extreme version with an upgraded 32GB of RAM – and the same SteamOS, instead of fiddly Windows. That extra memory’s probably worth about four billion quid by itself, though while it lasts, the primo Legion Go S is going for £599 in the UK (a £100 saving) and $650 in the US (a $250 saving).
