The Lenovo Legion Go 2 now starts at $1,200, but the version I'd consider is currently AWOL

I can't help but feel like Lenovo is trying to prank me, as the Legion Go 2 is now available for $1,200. The "price drop" follows a wild automatic price hike on the Z2 Extreme version at the brand's storefront that ramped it up to $3,000, and while I'm glad that was just a discontinuation glitch, the only gaming handheld now available is the non-extreme model with a lower spec chipset.

I should stress that while Lenovo says grabbing the Legion Go 2 for $1,199.99 will save you 25%, it's not really a price cut. I'd say it's more like the brand's handheld prices are merely healing, as the base version with a Ryzen Z2 APU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD originally had a $1,099.99 MSRP, but that tag was fleeting thanks to the RAM situation.
