Although it does not feature the most powerful APU on the market (that honor goes to the GPD Win 5), the Lenovo Legion Go 2 still arrives with strong specs and versatile functionality.

The original Legion Go was among the first handheld PCs to incorporate AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU. The Legion Go S opted for the entry-level Ryzen Z2 Go chip. Now, the Lenovo Legion Go 2 shows improvements both ergonomically and aesthetically over its predecessor. Its detachable joysticks allow for multiple usage modes, turning it into a console-like experience when docked, or more of a PC-like setup with the FPS stick. This makes it a true 3-in-1: handheld, tablet, and laptop.

The new device can be configured with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chips as well as other Z2 models. The Z2 Extreme is built on Strix Point APUs with RDNA 3.5 graphics (16 CUs), while the Z2 is based on Hawk APUs with RDNA 3 (12 CUs). Both come with 8 cores and 16 threads, though the Z2 Extreme uses the newer Zen 5 architecture, while the Z2 relies on Zen 4. Other key features include a 1200p OLED display with 144 Hz refresh rate, 500-nit brightness (True Black 1000 HDR), a 16:10 aspect ratio, and native landscape orientation. Memory has doubled from 16 GB LPDDR5X-7500 to 32 GB LPDDR5X-8000, with 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage expandable by 2 TB via microSD.

Internally, Lenovo has added a redesigned cooling system featuring a larger fan for improved airflow. Massive vents on the bottom and back can be manually adjusted. Battery capacity has been upgraded from 49.2 Wh to 74 Wh. The handheld ships with a 65W charger, and a fingerprint reader has been integrated into the back panel. Connectivity includes one USB 4.0 Type-C port (DP 2.0 + PD 3.0), a 3.5 mm audio jack, plus a second USB 4.0 Type-C port located near the microSD slot.

Given that the Legion Go Z1 Extreme launched at $700–$800, the Legion Go 2 will likely fall within a similar price range. Official pricing will be confirmed in the coming days, but early leaks suggest a price point of roughly 350,000 HUF in Hungary.
