usertests Lenovo launched the Legion Go 2 handheld last year with a starting price of $1,049 for the 1 TB model with an AMD Ryzen Z2 APU. The upgraded Z2 Extreme version was priced at $1,350 instead. That was bad pricing even before shortages. As bad as some of AMD's other naming schemes is, handheld APUs may be the least intuitive right now. "Z2" is full Hawk Point with 12 CUs while "Z1" was Phoenix2 with 4 CUs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:AMD_Ryzen_Z2_serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:AMD_Ryzen_Z1_series Reply

Dr3ams If I want to go portable, then I'll use my OnePlus Pad 3 tablet to play games. In addition, there are still over 30 games on my Blackberry Playbook. Reply

15thWarlock You can still get the 2TB version from B&H for $1,850, it's in stock and ready to checkout if anyone is interested. I think it's still a bit overpriced, but in my humble opinion, this portable has the best screen you can find, much better than the one in the Ally X I got the 1TB version from BestBuy back in November last year for $1,350, and a 4TB Samsung SSD on sale from Amazon for $200. Really like the fact that I can set the VRAM to 10GBs and system RAM to 22GBs and not have to worry about using high texture settings in all games I've tried. Back then I thought that was a big investment for a portable, but I don't regret it, it's been loads of fun when I'm at work or traveling. Reply

watzupken I think it would have been better for Lenovo to scrap this product line instead of selling it at a ridiculous price. This is a portable PC with an ageing AMD chip that is looking like a last generation product in light of all the new processors from Intel, Qualcomm and Apple. And we are talking about a machine with 32GB of LPDDR memory, not 64, 96 or 128GB. So I am not sure what is causing the outrageous price hike. A 1 TB SSD is like less than 200 bucks. Reply
