The Steam Deck and follow-up Steam Deck OLED have been mighty popular with their fanbase – but I get the sense that Valve never really wanted to manufacture the hardware for its handheld gaming device.

Lenovo has finally announced a new line of Legion Go handheld PCs, with one that will come installed with SteamOS out of the box. The new model is called the Legion Go S, and it's the world's first handheld PC from a third-party manufacturer using Valve's operating system.

Valve is making a notable shift with its portable gaming strategy as Lenovo debuted a new edition of its Legion Go gaming handheld that runs Valve’s custom operating system.
