I Played the Lenovo Legion Go 2 Gaming Handheld. It's a Big Upgrade With a Bigger Price
The Lenovo Legion Go 2 features a 74Whr battery and up to 32GB RAM, with prices starting at $1,049, marking a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
- At IFA Berlin on September 4, Lenovo unveiled the Legion Go 2, announcing Windows 11, an October launch, and a $1,049 starting price.
- As an evolution of the original Legion Go, Lenovo refined the Legion Go 2 after a CES 2025 prototype, upgrading hardware for better performance and competing broadly in handhelds and laptops.
- Under the hood, Lenovo fitted the Legion Go 2 with an 8.8‑inch WUXGA OLED display at 1920 x 1200 with 30–144Hz refresh rate, AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chips, up to 32GB RAM, 2TB storage, and a 74Whr battery.
- Early impressions suggest the Legion Go 2's price and specs may limit adoption, steering buyers toward affordable handhelds like the Steam Deck or gaming laptops.
- With rival launches on the calendar, Lenovo offers Legion Go 2 SKUs up to $1,479.99, while Microsoft said some non‑Asus handhelds may get Xbox full‑screen experience in 2026.
