A ridiculously high price makes the Lenovo Legion Go 2 a hard sell for gamers

Overview

  • Unveiled at IFA 2025, the Windows handheld comes in four configurations built on AMD’s Ryzen Z2 and Z2 Extreme chips.
  • The hardware includes an 8.8-inch 144Hz OLED with VRR, a 74Wh battery, detachable controllers, a fingerprint reader, and options up to 32GB RAM and 2TB storage.
  • Pricing reaches $1,479.99 on the top model, far above Valve’s $549 Steam Deck OLED and likely higher than the expected base price of the Xbox Ally X.
  • Preorders are live at Best Buy, with shipments scheduled for October 31.
  • Lenovo defends the pricing as enthusiast-focused and directs budget-minded buyers to the Legion Go S, as Reddit and Facebook discussions criticize the cost.
