Lenovo Legion Go 2 Leaked with OLED Display and AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme SoC

At this point, it's basically taken for granted that Lenovo will be launching its cut-down Legion Go S gaming handheld at CES 2025, and a fresh leak from Evan Blass via The Verge points to another Legion Go handheld—a direct replacement for the current-generation Go—launching alongside the Go S. While the Go S will supposedly be powered by the less powerful AMD Ryzen Z2G and its Radeon 680M iGPU, the full-fat Legion Go 2 will likely use a more powerful processor and iGPU, suggesting that a Ryzen Z2 Extreme SoC is on the way.

Perhaps the most compelling thing about the new Legion Go handheld, though is that it will reportedly feature an OLED display. Despite the new display tech, though, the Legion Go 2 will supposedly have the same display size, detachable controllers, and FPS mode, although the images shared by Blass show significantly rounder controller edges, which should make the chunky handheld less cumbersome to hold. The leaks make no mention of SteamOS or a Steam button for the Legion Go 2, suggesting that it will still be a Windows-first gaming handheld, and the Legion Space button is still present on the face of the Legion Go 2 featured in the leaks.

AcEand still some people will do it, for various reasons and reasons you didn't even think about. No sense denying it or arguing it
Not arguing just debating. I do not disagree with your position. I just think less than more.
HOkaySorry yes, secondhand enclosure + whatever GPU you want, but obviously secondhand is the best value.

The going rate for a TB3 eGPU enclosure on eBay in the UK is somewhere in the £130-150 range. That comes with the PSU & cable you need, so just add whatever GPU you want. Cheapo new eGPU enclosures can be had for similar money, but they'll be uglier & you'll need your own PSU & probably cable.

If you assume you're going to have a handheld anyway, then please explain how buying an entire desktop PC is cheaper than a ~£150 eGPU dock?

Oh forgot to touch on the performance loss argument - yes, you do lose performance via TB3/USB4 compared to in a decent desktop, so you could arguably say a desktop with a tier down GPU is more equivalent.
If indeed they are $150 then your position makes more sense. I was looking at Enclosures starting at $400, without the PSU. A handheld like the Ally is no different than a desktop from an OS standpoint.

To me it's cheaper than buying a high end handheld+ a used eGPU dock and a GPU for the eGPU dock.
I think the option of adding an eGPU is better than a gaming laptop for most uses, but a handheld is just going to be a handheld system for most people.

$400 without a PSU?! Oh wow, I can see why you're saying they're dumb if that's the price! Can you get AliExpress stuff? You can get real barebones kits for <$100 off there. You'll need a PSU & GPU to go in that barebones kit.

No idea if this link will work, but something like this: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002802776587.html
