Lenovo made a huge splash at CES earlier this year by announcing the launch of its new Legion Go S PC gaming handhelds. These handhelds, in case you missed them during CES, are the first third-party handhelds to ship with Steam Deck’s SteamOS software. The new SteamOS Legion Go S handhelds are now up for pre-order, and you can snag them right now from Best Buy starting at $549.99 shipped. The latest models now up for grabs will join the existing Windows-powered variant that first hit the scene right after CES for $729.99 shipped.

Lenovo’s brand-new SteamOS-powered handhelds start at $549.99 shipped, and the base variant is powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Go processor with 16GB and 512GB SSD.

This particular unit comes with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and it can be had for $749.99 shipped in the same Nebula colorway.
