Lenovo Legion Go 2 suddenly costs $650 more as RAMageddon lays waste to gaming hardware


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. (For now, Asus rep Anthony Spence tells me there’s “no price increase on the horizon, so far as I can tell,” at least in the US.)

The Legion Go 2 has other things going for it besides the chip, including detachable controllers and a stellar screen, but $2K? Get outta here.

RAMageddon is coming for everything you care about, and gaming hardware in particular has taken a hit. Sony just hiked the price of the PS5 by $100 to $150, and speaking of Strix Halo, Ayaneo has canceled its $1,999-and-up Next 2 because storage prices made it “unsustainable.” (GPD has hiked its Strix Halo handheld prices some, but still sells the Win 5 with 32GB of RAM, 2TB storage, and an AI Max Plus 395 chip for $2,500, for now.)
