Lenovo Legion Go S official: $499 buys the first authorized third-party SteamOS handheld
Windows will come first but Steam will be more affordable.

What I'm really waiting for is a Steam box that I can hook up to my TV. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. I really don't understand why they haven't come out with one of those yet. Should be much easier to do than a handheld.
is that not steam machine?
I liked steam link too but they killed it very sad.
With any luck SteamOS will be installable on most pcs and then you can build or buy a steam machine.

You can already do that though??? You just need a dock.
I sometimes connect Deck to TV via dock and play using Xbox controller.
Sure. But the Deck is a bit underpowered for a 4k TV. It would have to be powerful enough to play most games at 4k with some frame generation.
There have been recent leaks that indicate Valve is working on something going by the codename "Fremont" that is basically just that. Also some 3D models of a new Steam controller that's much more like A SteamDeck without the screen were included in a recent update.
We'll see though, Valve does have a bit of a problem staying focused on what they were working on when they come back from their holiday break, and sometimes things get cancelled because they lose interest over the break.
I mean, this is neat, but I really enjoy the features of my original Legion Go. The removable controllers are just awesome, and it works wonderfully as a 'I want to play my Steam games but I can't be at my PC right now' machine. I've been streaming to the thing since I got it, and it's powerful enough to run relatively modern games on low-medium settings at 800p. I ran through God of War on it decently enough. Only downside is that the SSD heats up and can screw with the WiFi card directly underneath, but I don't mind the noise from the fan because most of the time I'm using headphones with the thing anyways. It's got USB4 as well, so I wanna get an external GPU dock eventually. As for now, a powered hub is doing great at essentially turning it into a console at my TV. The touchpad on the right controller is really handy for navigating Windows.
I agree, I hope this means that Steam OS will be coming to the main legion go.
That touchpad is tiny so I'm not sure how useful it will be (probably just for cursor usage on desktop). Good to see 120hz and hopefully with VRR support.
Seems that ootb Linux support is a few months after initial release.
I've never seen the Legion Go irl but the old one looked like the touchpad was just the right size too be unobtrusive but still practical. The new one looks like a thumb print reader.
No touchpads?
Believe it or not, that minuscule fingerprint reader looking thing on the bottom right is a touchpad. I really don't know what they were thinking.
Year of the Linux

Now I'm interested. I'd probably own a steam deck by now if I could plug it into a "real" dock and get dual high res displays and/or an eGPU.
ROG Ally with its extreme apu isn't enough for me. I'm going to wait for something significantly stronger before buying one of these hand helds.
