Lenovo’s second-generation Legion Go has been hit by an array of price hikes in recent months, to the point that it stopped being surprising, and honestly, annoying to keep reporting on. Now, we finally have some good news – it seems like costs are starting to stabilize, as the official Lenovo store is running a 25% discount on the Go 2, setting the 1TB model down to $1,199.99.

The Legion Go 2 climbed as high as $2,849.99 for the 2TB model on the official store, and even the supposedly more budget-friendly Legion Go S was affected, costing as much as $1,679.99 for the Windows 11 variant (the SteamOS version is $100 cheaper right now). A price reduction is more than welcome at this point, but there are a few things you should know first.

It’s the cheapest model, and still more than its original MSRP

Now ‘ready to ship’ and enjoying a 25% discount, you may be tempted to finally pick up the Legion Go 2, especially since we have no idea just how long this deal will last. However, it’s important to note that this specific model is the Ryzen Z2 version, rather than the Z2 Extreme with flagship performance. Furthermore, it comes with 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM.

• AMD Ryzen Z2 processor
• 16GB LPDDR5X RAM
• 1TB SSD storage

Looking back to the Legion Go 2 release, this variant originally launched for $1,099.99 as the cheapest option in the lineup, so you’ll still be paying more than MSRP with this 25% discount. At launch, it was the 32GB RAM / 1TB model that would cost you $1,199.99, so you’re missing out on 16GB of RAM compared to those recommended prices from back in October last year.

Even still, any kind of discount at this point is a win in our books. Especially at a time when hardware prices are way up, fueled by demand for memory for AI datacenters. Other handheld brands have been forced to ramp prices or cancel production altogether.
