Lenovo releases Legion Go 2 for $1,349 with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme and 32 GB RAM
Earlier today, Lenovo officially unveiled the Legion Go 2 or Legion Go Gen 2 as part of its IFA 2025 showcase in Berlin. As we reported, Lenovo does not expect to begin selling its new gaming handheld until later this year in the US. Nonetheless, Best Buy has now opened pre-orders for two variants in the US.
As the screenshot below shows, the Legion Go 2 starts at $1,099.99 with the AMD Ryzen Z2, 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. For context, the Ryzen Z2 features eight Zen 4 CPU cores and 12 GPU cores built around AMD's RDNA 3 architecture. In other words, the Ryzen Z2 should be about as powerful as the Ryzen 7 8840U with a Radeon 780M iGPU or the existing Ryzen Z1 Extreme.
Worse still, Lenovo has decided to charge $1,349.99 for the Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. For context, this SKU is over twice as expensive as the Legion Go S (curr. $649 on Amazon) with the Ryzen Z2 Go, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Meanwhile, MSI charges between €899-€999 and £849.95 for the comparably equipped Claw A8 in the Eurozone and the UK.
Presumably, the Legion Go 2 will start at €999 in the Eurozone with the Ryzen Z2, 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. It is worth keeping in mind that MSI has not confirmed US pricing for its only Ryzen Z2 Extreme gaming handheld yet.
