Best Buy have recently increased the price they're listing for the two upcoming Lenovo - Legion Go S models with Valve's SteamOS. They seem to have taken down pre-orders too, with it now just being listed as Coming Soon.
  • AMD Ryzen Z2 Go edition is now $599.99 before it was $549.99.
  • AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme edition is now $829.99 before it was $749.99.

Originally, Lenovo said they expected it to launch for $499.99 for the Z2 Go edition — $100 is quite a big bump now from their original plan.

      Funnily, my mind first made me consider pressure by Microsoft to raise the steam version cost to make it a less attractive proposition compared to the windows version, before realizing this was a tariff reaction. Goes to show how I imagine Microsoft’s powers and intentions in my mind :)

    As if it wasn’t overpriced enough before…

    Valve really needs to find better partners…

    A weaker dollar is also a likely reason that is not mentioned in the article.
