- The Lenovo Legion Go 2 should be revealed to IFA 2025, according to the Evan Blass flight
- The price would be $ 200 more than the retail price Rog Xbox Ally X
- Ryzen Z2 Extreme of AMD is barely much better than the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, which can hinder the potential success of the Legion Go 2
The portable gaming PC market is finally about to see long -awaited additions when approaching the last months of the year, and one of them, announced at CES 2025 earlier in January, could be set to join the ranks of the best portable play PCs – but its price could be a matter.
According to Notebookcheck, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 can cost $ 200 more than the Asus Rog Xbox Ally X, with its retail price potentially between $ 1,049 and $ 1,099, and should be completely unveiled at IFA 2025, according to Evan Blass.
The price of the ROG Xbox Ally X is not confirmed, but rumors suggest a starting price of $ 899, may be up to $ 1,000. The same source previously pointed out a precise release date of October 16, before the official announcement of Xbox.
This is another PC of Portable play AMD Ryzen Z2 with extreme power, alongside the Rog Xbox Ally X and the MSI Claw A8; All of these pocket computers should cost a high price, the CLAW A8 already confirmed at £ 850 (around $ 1,150 / $ 1,750 at) scheduled for a release on September 17 in the United Kingdom.
Since the Legion Go 2 is equipped with an OLED screen, it will most likely cost more than the new Pocket computer of Asus and Microsoft and the Claw A8, so the report of Notebookcheck does not seem eccentric.
However, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor and its predecessor, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme, have very similar performance results on several games, as Eta prime on YouTube underlines (video below), despite the significant price of Ryzen Z1 Extreme Powerred Helds.
It is certain to say that any laptop from $ 800 is already a difficult sale, so the suggestions of a price of $ 1,049 will not make favors in Lenovo.
Of course, the performance will depend on the configurations and the quantity of RAM available, but it may be difficult to justify spending gpu money on a portable game PC, which hardly works much better than much cheaper alternatives, especially the Asus Rog Ally.

Analysis: Buy an AMD Ryzen Z1 pocket computer at extreme power, before it is too late
Of all the landmarks I have seen so far, the Ryzen Z2 Extreme seems to be a minor upgrade of its predecessor. While pocket computers using the new APU may have other specifications such as 74Wh or 80Wh batteries to justify higher prices, I always promote extreme pocket computers Ryzen Z1, and I think you should also.
Fortunately, I was able to get my hands on the Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme at £ 699 here in the United Kingdom, with 32 GB of preinstalled RAM and Steamos. I am not a big fan of the use of my pocket computers on the battery, as I have already mentioned, so a 55.5Wh battery does not matter for me.
Essentially, the Legion Go S is a pocket computer that costs less than the MSI Claw A8 (using the Ryzen Z2 Extreme as the Legion Go 2) while giving you the same level of performance in the games.
A stronger example is with the original Asus Rog Ally, which you can find at the best purchase at $ 649 and on sale for much less, instead of the A8 claw for £ 850, and probably higher when it launched in the United States.
It is not known how long the original Lenovo Legion VA, Lenovo Legion Go S, and Asus Rog Ally will be easily available.
So, if you are not wanting to spend almost $ 1,000 on a pocket computer, I would advise you to buy an extreme Z1 device while you can still.
