Even the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go model, which has even lower performance, has seen a significant price increase from its launch price of $599.99 (approximately 95,000 yen). It is now priced at $989.99 (approximately 157,000 yen) at Best Buy , $1049.99 (approximately 167,000 yen) on Lenovo's official website , and $1199 (approximately 190,000 yen) at Walmart .
The Verge pointed out, 'Lenovo has not immediately responded to our request for comment, but given the circumstances, it is possible that they are quietly discontinuing this model due to the global memory shortage. In fact, listings for several models are disappearing from retail stores and Lenovo's official website.'
Furthermore, on the official Lenovo website in Japan, the Legion Go S sales page had a 'Check similar products' button where the purchase button should have been, and the official store did not carry the Legion Go S.
