Misleading title a bit. It says some pre-orders they will not be able to meet in terms of demand and will cancel those.

Huh? The title doesn't say all preorders are cancelled. That should be obvious
Edit: I'll ask a mod add "some" though

Seemed pretty straight forward to me.

I would have upgraded my LEGO1 if the $1349 SKU was priced at the level of the lowest SKU( I think $1099?). But at these prices I'll just wait till next summer when the discounts start. I got my LEGO1 summer 2024 on sale so I can wait it out......

You left out the part that matters to everyone, that big, VRR, OLED screen.
Still, for a device that was supposed to be dead on arrival according to some here, not having enough units to meet demand shows what I already knew, they don't expect or need it to sell 100,000,000s of units to be successful.

It was the same thing that happened with Portal.

The Legion Go subreddit has some posts about their preorders getting canceled. Some users were able to preorder via Lenovo with a 10% discount.

OMG the Go 2 only had a 5,000 unit production run! It's a total piece of shit compared to a real product like the Switch 2 which has millions of units produced, of course there's shortages!!!

It's not the performance improvement. The improved ergonomics of the new controllers is a big deal; the OLED, VRR, native landscape display are huge, double the ram is huge, and the drivers will be coming directly from AMD for the LEGO2, as opposed to Lenovo themselves having to push out the drivers for the original. That's why the drivers were always many many months behind. I mean, Lenovo just released the July 2025 graphics driver this month, and the one prior to that was like, the december 2024 driver?
For LEGO owners, it's a relatively small upgrade to performance, but realistically, under the hood, there are a ton of really big quality of life changes that make this overall a MUCH better device.

Legion go s next year better have that oled. Steamdeck is getting a tad old.

Yes, everyone knows the Switch OLED was a sales disappointment. Nobody really wants OLED on a handheld.

Thing is, like, at over 3M units sold. For a $200 accessory.

Wow! This $1400 portable is flying off the shelves!
Nice try, Legion marketing team. I'm onto you…

I am a closet furry. Don't you judge me.
Its still cheaper than if Apple were to make a gaming device. Good lord. We would have a $1000 stand.

Yeah, I'm going with this. It's the only sane possibility.

I also do take offense at the idea they would take the initiative to return my money and cancel my pre-order because the product would not arrive in time.
Why not let me use the option I should already have to cancel my order at any point if it hasn't shipped? Doesn't that seem so much more logical? Like if I pre-ordered the fucking thing, it's because I want it, and just because it's not arriving on launch day doesn't mean I stopped wanting it. Ugh, that logic always pisses me off. Just let me pay for something and whenever it's ready, 2 weeks, 2 months, or a year later, send it to me. Of course, I reserve the right to cancel it at any time and/or return it, but the last thing I want to do is have to spend more time finding another place to order it again, when I've already done that.
No one gets it! Consoles and devices are always such a PITA to order at launch.

I need that screen in my life, I really hope they use it in the S2.

I much prefer the Go S form factor to regular Go. Sucks they didn't give an OLED option.
