This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage capacity, and it runs off SteamOS instead of Windows. The Z2 Go processor is a bit more powerful than the Steam Deck's custom APU, which means you'll get a little better performance out of it. Graphics also look sharper with more fluid movement, thanks to a bigger 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).
At the current sale price of $449, it's $100 cheaper than the closest Steam Deck configuration, which has also has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $549. The Steam Deck does come with an OLED display, but I'd personally prefer a bigger, higher resolution, higher refresh rate display.
