Lenovo hikes Legion Go 2 handheld gaming PC to almost $3,000 for 2 TB model — Handheld now costs more than AMD’s Strix Halo devices despite relatively weaker Z2 Extreme chip

Lenovo launched the Legion Go 2 handheld last year with a starting price of $1,049 for the 1 TB model with an AMD Ryzen Z2 APU. The upgraded Z2 Extreme version was priced at $1,350 instead. Now, thanks to the AI boom snatching production lines, amidst other geopolitical factors, the same device costs $2,000. Even worse, it seems like the 2 TB model’s new price is a whopping $2,849, as per Lenovo’s own website.

At launch, the 2 TB variant was around $1,480, so we’re looking at almost double the price in just a few months. That being said, this SKU is still available for much cheaper with some retailers, but it’s likely existing stock is selling for older prices. For instance, B&H has it listed for “just” $1,849.99 while Best Buy and Costco have pages up for the device with no inventory. It’s likely that a restock will come at that updated $2,849 ask.
