Prices of key components like RAM and storage have been heavily affected by ongoing shortages, forcing manufacturers to adjust pricing across a wide range of products. We’ve already seen this affect GPUs, laptops, and consoles, and now Lenovo is following the same path in the handheld gaming space.

Just a few days ago, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 with a Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor and 1TB of storage was spotted with a major price hike. The device jumped to $1,999.99 on Best Buy, which was already a $650 increase over its original $1,350 MSRP. That alone pushed it into a much more premium category. Now, the 2TB model is getting the same treatment.

Yet another price hike for the Lenovo Legion Go 2

If you check Lenovo’s official website, the Legion Go 2 with 2TB of storage is now listed at $2,849.99. This is a massive jump compared to its original launch price of $1,480. In total, that’s a $1,369 increase over its MSRP.

What makes it even more drastic is the difference between models, as the 2TB version now costs $850 more than the 1TB model. You’re paying a huge premium just to get an extra 1TB of storage.

Interestingly, B&H Photo is still offering the 2TB model for $1,849.99, which is much closer to its earlier pricing. The retailer even throws in a free copy of Bitdefender Total Security (6 months). However, it seems likely that the lower price is because they still have older stock available. Once that inventory runs out and new units arrive, there’s a good chance the price will be updated to match Lenovo’s current listing. We’ll have to wait and see to be sure.

This situation highlights how serious the memory crisis has become. Storage is one of the most affected components right now, and it’s clearly driving up the cost of high-end devices. The Legion Go 2 was already a premium handheld, but with these new prices, it is quickly moving out of reach for most gamers.
