Handheld gaming has evolved dramatically over the last couple of years, and if you’re looking for a travel buddy that’s compatible with your gaming libraries, the recently released Lenovo Legion Go S 1TB edition is on sale for a massive $230 discount that drops the price to only $500 (was $730). This is one of the marquee deals in Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale, which kicked off July 7 and runs until July 12. Considering this is the first discount we’ve seen on the Legion Go S–and it’s such a substantial discount–we wouldn’t be surprised if Best Buy runs out of units before the deal expires.
Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale is competing with Amazon Prime Day 2025 (July 8-11). Along with the $230 discount on the Legion Go S, you can save $200 on the original Legion Go Windows handheld.

The Lenovo Legion Go S has an 8-inch 120Hz Lenovo PureSight display and an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip with Radeon graphics. As mentioned, this is the upgraded model with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. With the deal, you’re paying $150 less than you’d spend on the $650 model with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.
What sets the Legion Go S apart from the competition is its excellent ergonomics, making it more comfortable to use for extended periods compared to alternatives like the Steam Deck or Asus ROG Ally. It’s also more comfortable–though less powerful–than the original Lenovo Legion Go 8.8-inch handheld, which is on sale for $550 (was $750).
It’s worth emphasizing that this edition of the Legion Go S uses Windows 11 as its operating system. Windows supports thousands of games across Steam, Xbox Game Pass, GOG, the Epic Games Store, and more, but navigating through the menus can be a chore compared to the current standard for portable gaming OSes, SteamOS. A SteamOS version of the Legion Go S is also available, though it’s not part of the sale.
