What Happened
The Legion Go 2’s mouse mode, unique among Windows handhelds.
Why It Matters
Di Benedetto / The Verge Remember when we thought the Legion Go 2 was expensive at $1,099 and up?
Key Details
- Those were the days – Best Buy is now listing Lenovo's handheld for $1,499 with a Ryzen Z2 or $1,999 with a Z2 Extreme.
- The latter originally cost $1,349, so that's a $650 jump in just six months.
- And yes, that means Lenovo's flagship may now cost twice as much as a $999 Microsoft/Asus Xbox Ally X with the same AMD chip, as much as a far more powerful GPD Win 5 with AMD Strix Halo cost last year.
- But the way things are going, it's probably only a matter of time till Microsoft hikes its handheld Xbox price too.
