Lenovo Legion Go 2 Price Increased to $2,849 After $850 Hike

Price Increases by a Large Margin

Recently, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor quite dramatically increased in cost. Initially, it was priced at $1,350, then went up to $1,850, and now has jumped again to a staggering $2,849.99 on their official website. This huge escalation makes it clear that the device is now in a very high priced segment, probably making it less attractive for the average gamer or enthusiast looking for a portable gaming option.

Current Retail Prices Compared to Official Listing

Despite the official website showing a steep price of nearly $2,850, some retail shops are still selling the Legion Go 2 at much lower prices. For example, Best Buy offers it at $1,999, and B&H still has it for $1,849.99. But these prices are most likely for older units before the recent price hike. Soon, once current stock is sold out and new units are available, it’s expected that these stores will also update their prices to match the official $2,849.99, which is quite a leap from previous amounts.

Understanding The Price Jumps

Lenovo hasn't officially explained why the price keeps increasing so steeply. But industry analysts believe that this is mainly due to the ongoing memory shortage crisis, causing the costs of critical parts like memory and storage to hike up quickly. Since its launch in September last year, the Legion Go 2 has had multiple price increases and there’s no guarantee that the last one was the final, leaving consumers to wonder what the future holds for this high-end handheld gaming device.
