Best Buy Lists Lenovo Legion Go 2 at Twice the Price of the ROG Xbox Ally X

If you were planning to pick up the Lenovo Legion Go 2 anytime soon, the latest pricing might make you pause a little. The handheld is now listed at $1,999.99 on Best Buy, a sharp jump from its original $1,349.99 launch price in the US (via VideoCardz). That’s roughly a $650 increase, or close to 48 percent higher than what Lenovo initially asked.

At a time when handheld gaming PCs are getting more competitive, this pricing shift raises some obvious concerns among players out there. The listing is also marked as unavailable, which suggests this may not reflect steady retail pricing just yet. However, the number stands out, especially when compared to other handheld devices.

That comparison becomes harder to ignore next to the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X, currently priced at $999.99. Both devices sit in a similar performance tier, with AMD’s Z2 Extreme chips at the core. However, Lenovo’s handheld is now effectively priced twice as much, which makes the value gap difficult to justify.

Speaking of hardware, the Legion Go 2 still looks solid on paper. It packs an 8.8-inch 2K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, alongside 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. That being said, the broader handheld market also seems to be at a crossroads. AMD-powered devices continue to rely on older GPU architectures, and there’s still no clear sign of RDNA 4 in this space. Meanwhile, Intel’s Arc G3 handheld chips have been rumored for months, but nothing concrete has surfaced yet.
