"Soon?" LOL....hasn't even been announced.

Reminds me of the people who said the same thing about the Switch 2 from 2018 to 2024. It too was "right around the corner." People even suggested against buying the OLED model because of it....

It's been announced for a launch in Q4 2025.

You mean the "Legion Go 2 Prototype" that Lenovo alluded to in Jan, which currently might have an OLED (it's a prototype thus things can...and will change) and a completely separate press release about a "second-generation handheld available worldwide later this year" with no connection between the 2nd gen and a Go 2? That gen two MIGHT come out Q4 2025.

Back to my Nintendo Switch analogy, that went through nearly a decade of "generations" before the Switch 2 was ever made official.

All I am saying, don't count your OLED's before they are hatched, you'll be waiting a while bored in the corner while the rest of us our enjoying our real device in the here and now.

Edit: It is a prototype.

But the previous poster still has a valid point about buying this at $600. It's been cheaper multiple times. Makes this deal warm at best.

I agree this price is not an all time low or a BIN, I'd personally rather save $100 (at least) for the 512gb model. However that was never the subject I was addressing.

My point was and is: there is always another 'generation' or something better on the horizon / rumored / leaked / blah blah blah, might as well never consider buying anything if you are waiting for all technology to plateau and manufacturers to declare they are done with development....but then people will complain they "abandoned" the product and the reddit hivemind will boycott them in retaliation.

It's a good price. Recommend setting it up with Bazzite.

Just keep in mind that later this year Legion Go 2 will come out with a VRR OLED display, Z2 extreme chip, and larger battery.

The display and battery life were my main complaints about this device that made me go with ROG Ally X instead. The other big issue is Windows but that's fixed with Bazzite.

I was able to get this version for 500$ by asking price match to amazon 512 model, just point that this is the same model (and don't say anything about storage difference).
