AI Memory Crunch Pushes Lenovo Legion Go Price to $2,000

Memory suppliers prioritize AI servers, constraining parts for gaming handhelds.

Overview

  • Best Buy now lists the Lenovo Legion Go 2 at $1,999.99, a $650 increase from its late‑2025 launch price.
  • Prices across Lenovo’s Legion Go S lineup have also climbed by roughly $50 to $150 per configuration.
  • Analysts tie the hikes to AI data centers buying up DRAM and NAND flash, which shifts limited memory and storage away from consumer devices.
  • TrendForce notes recent consumer memory price dips near 20% but warns DRAM and NAND could jump sharply in the second half of 2026.
  • Asus’s competing ROG Ally X remains $1,000 at Best Buy, while boutique maker AYANEO paused its high‑end Next II citing rising storage costs.
