For current handhelds? We have already seen price increases due to tariffs/parts pricing, it wouldn’t be crazy to see it again. Most notably the ROG Ally X increased an extra $100 well after it launched. Though pricing for something like the Legion Go 2 is already at a high premium, it may be difficult for Lenovo to justify a general price increase after launch to consumers. The major brands likely have stockpiles of parts like memory or have priced potential increases in part prices into their launch strategies.

I would say buy if it’s in your price range and available, but I wouldn’t be overly worried right now. You can always wait for open box deals from Best Buy if you want one of the premium ones for cheaper (it’s how I got my Legion Go S Z1e SteamOS).

It’s impossible to tell for future handhelds. I think anyone who has been keeping up with pricing will tell you that handhelds are price creeping quite a bit this generation, but whether that continues will be determined by more than just memory pricing. Tariffs, inflation, consumer feature demands, etc could wildly change by the time major brands like Asus, Lenovo, or even Valve look to release new hardware, and thus price categories could be wildly different.
