, I have good news and bad news. The bad news, there aren't very many deals. The good news, the few deals to choose from happen to be excellent. They're also exclusively available at Best Buy. That's right, Best Buy is the one and only retailer who has discounted the Lenovo Legion Go SteamOS handheld gaming PCs as part of its

. In fact, both Z2 Go and Z1 Extreme models are on ***** today at the lowest prices of the year. These deals are good enough that I don't expect them to drop on Cyber Monday.

Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition

This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and it runs off SteamOS instead of Windows. The Z1 Extreme is much more powerful than the APU found in the Steam Deck and as such, it will outperform the Steam Deck in pretty much any situation. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a ******* 8" 1200p display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate. The Legion Go S also supports a much higher maximum charging rate (up to 100W vs 40W for the Steam Deck). This deal prices the Legion Go S on par with the highest end Steam Deck, but it's superior in almost every way.

Lenovo Legion Go S Z2 Go SteamOS Edition

Also on ***** is the Legion Go S Z2 Go Edition, which is currently $449.99 after a $200 discount. Despite the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go is a 2nd gen chip, it's actually less powerful than the Z1 Extreme. Fortunately, it's still more powerful than the Steam Deck's APU and you should expect slightly better performance out of it, especially if you knock the resolution down to 1280x800. Since a Steam Deck with equivalent specs will still cost you $549, this is a much better value: you get more features and pay less money.

If you're a Steam Deck loyalist,
