The Lenovo Legion Go S handheld gaming device has seen a dramatic escalation in its price, with some configurations nearly doubling their original cost. For instance, the SteamOS version featuring the Z1 Extreme chip, which launched at $829.99 last summer, is now listed at a staggering $1,579.99 at Best Buy. This price hike surpasses even that of Lenovo's flagship Legion Go 2, which experienced a $650 increase earlier this month.
While not all Legion Go S models have doubled in price, none are currently close to their initial launch prices. The Windows Z1 Extreme model is listed at $1,679.99, though currently on sale for $1,049.99. Even the less powerful Z2 Go model has seen its price jump from $599.99 to nearly $1,000 across various retailers. This situation is occurring amidst a global RAM shortage that has heavily impacted gaming hardware, leading to price increases for devices like the Meta Quest 3 and PlayStation 5.
