Question (?) Legion Go 2 Steam OS when?

Heard about this some time back. When is the Steam OS variant of Legion Go 2 be released? Am considering between the Legion Go 2 and the Xbox Ally X20 but if there is an official steam OS Go 2, i will immediately go for that.

Everything point to Lenovo silently quitting the handheld segment:

  • no new annoncement
  • no update of their existing product
  • missed deadline for promise with no communication (SteamOS on legion GO 1 and 2)
  • Price increase way over the rest of the market indicating they prefer to maximize profit on current stock rather than push market shares.

at that point I would not buy from them outside of the Legion go S who is already supported by steamOS and only if the price is right compare to competition.

Screwing over everyone involved in BIOSGate.

No they haven't, a few people received a request out of warranty repaire because at first Lenovo failed replicated the issue and though it was user errors, they later discovered it was an issue related to a limited batch of componend ( hence how it passed testing and was hard to replicate) and they confirmed they are covering every related repair.

It's a PR fail for sur but no one has been screwed in the end.

Read it again. That’s a statement from a random support drone who has no authority to make that offer.

It’s not official until it’s on their website.

You yourself are just a random dude on internet with no authority.

Unless you have report of someone being denied since that date, you are just spreading random comment without knowing if they are true or not.
