Lenovo Legion Go 2

[long panther]

isn't the biggest improvement with the legion go 2 the battery life?

[karmic crypt]

Should be

Oled might use a little more. But chipset should be more efficient and perform better at lower tdp

Can do 81wh battery swap on Lego 1 and might be comparable

[long panther]

Alright, let me tell yall why 30hz vrr isn't worth paying for, the thing is with math the more you divide a number the less the outcome changed. What I'm getting with is that if you got a 144hz display and ur getting 50 fps for some reason you can just cap framerate to 48, or if ur getting 40 fps u can cap it to 36

u got more and more options to work with the less ur fps is

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. I said early. Fps cap resolves vrr. As long as your not having to cap it low

Once you get low it'll be noticable regardless

It's def cool tech. But I'll be when it's standardized and minimally priced if that's the main reason this costs so much

https://youtu.be/Ldic94hqLFc?si=gVLWbm39bxsp3YwC

A good vid on it

Might be some cool outcomes from ai z2e and vrr tho

[worthy edge]

Again, why are people so focused on which handheld "wins?" Just be happy we have so many choices.

I for one am impressed Lenovo even did backward compatibility for the controllers

And while they are not as polished as Nintendo's joycons, they most definitely do not qualify as "half baked."

If you want the screen, get the LeGo 2.

If you want relatively close performance at a great deal, grab a used LeGo 1.

If you want to play while caressing 2 plastic dongs, grab an XAX.

[karmic crypt]

I don't think people are "focused" we're just talking about an upcoming device

I think most people understand that. I hope

Many devices I've loved (pocket DMG) are rightly criticized 😆

[proper quest]

I guess I should clarify that the controllers themselves are fine, I just think the actual use cases for them being detachable are half baked. Like yeah sure, you can take them off and use them for docked mode, but for the price of a controller connector I could also just buy a bt controller which would probably be more comfortable. And fps mode is just a little silly imo.

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. Trust me. Gonna pick up Lego 2 controllers and looking at price I'm like, oof

Not sure if I'll ever use fps mode either

Haven't on Lego 1 so far

[worthy edge]

I haven't either but I just love the flexibility of them. I can sit my LeGo on my desk at work and nobody bats an eye

[karmic crypt]

Having small kids, detachable is the only way to play sometimes. So I'm glad someone is doing it

Nice that the whole setup cost less then a switch 2 as well. Def doesn't hurt

[prisma hedge]

not much .... its mostly SoC prices going wild that cause the difference

just look at all the hx370 vs 8840u ... its the similar kind of pricejump as the Z1E / Z2E has

[long panther]

so does that prove the z2e is not money efficient for companies to use?

[prisma hedge]

imo its just that amd , nvidia and intel ... just dont give a damn anymore about anything but AI ... and jsut stopped caring about keeping the things reasonably priced ... while spaping AI in the names and pcbs jsut because that brings in the inverstor money and customers eb damned

[proper quest]

I mean, only a $150 difference between the Z2 32 gb and Z2E Go 2 skus, and only a $100 difference between the rog ally x and xbox ally x.

[prisma hedge]

so yes given MS is likely sibsidizing the assus stuff

[proper quest]

Think it's more the smaller companies like gpd and onexplayer just charging more

Msi claw 7 ai is also $900

[prisma hedge]

casue they dont have the economy of scale ... so they are paying the full price ... unlike global corpos that order at different scale ... you get different price when you order few thousends vs few hudnderds of thousands

[proper quest]

Yeah exactly, that's why I think if Lenovo just made a go 2 with a z2e without the oled screen it'd probably be $1100 at most

[prisma hedge]

but as of eight now with LeGo ... i will oprobably just wait for gen 3 or 4 before upgrading .. unless i find some really good deal

[rich star]

Seeing that you can buy the LeGo 2 controllers separately, it's expensive but I might bite the bullet for a good split controller option. Hopefully they work well on pc/steam deck!

[torn wigeon]

are legion go 2 pre orders not available anywhere for anyone else

[prisma hedge]

i never really tried to connect lego1 controlelrs to something else lol

[haughty hatch]

get go2 and another ai 395

it will last for 2 year

[versed goblet]

Mine still not left china, so yeah def not getting it today 🤦‍♂️

[haughty hatch]

lol

[hoary gorge]

the screen is really cool but the price is very high

I guess we now have community provided FSR4 on RDNA 3.5

next gen should be nicer tho with native FSR 4

with a 1200p screen you want a good upscaler

on 8.8" you also see upscaling artefacts more than on a deck screen

[spring isle]

Im surprised they battery life isnt much of an improvement over Ally X. As the Z2E is more efficient. Im thinking this OLED VRR screen drains a ton of battery

[prisma hedge]

i think it kinda evens out

its sligtly less capacity ... but more efficient , but vrr oled

not sure if i saw batter tests on lower TDPs yet

[spring isle]

I remember Asus saying they didnt go with OLED VRR for Ally X due to how power hungry the screen was. I was just wondering if this screen is power hungry where a LCD would have improved the battery life way more

Seen some of the tests Retro Game Corps did playing indie games at lower wattage and to be honest i expected way more battery life

[prisma hedge]

tbh personally i would take oled vrr over slighl bigger battery life every single time 😄

but no clue there

[long panther]

slightly bigger?

Isn't it like almost twice the size?

[prisma hedge]

allyx is 80Wh , lego2 is 75Wh

iirc

[long panther]

oh, u were talking about the ally x

[prisma hedge]

kalos was 😄

[hoary gorge]

if you are referring to the RGC video running a bunch of these games at native 1200p and the larger screen should be the reason why it looks like it's inefficient, the workload is just higher pushing more pixels

[hoary gorge]

limiting the framerate will help a lot yeah

[latent pulsar]

didn't even seem like an improvement going by the tests to me

[spring isle]

Id love to see someone do further test. Running the same game on an Ally X at 1080p vs Legion Go 2 at 1080p. 17W and 25w test. What surprised me was i though Z2E was ware more efficient at 17W. But the indie games shown the battery didnt seem that great as I thought it will be so my assumption is the OLED screen is burning the battery a lot

[hoary gorge]

there are a lot of variables like drivers

it's hard to tell what is going on rn, if you recall when the Z1E was new it also had different power draw in different games depending on the device people used and the driver

in theory it's on the same 4nm TSMC node and has more 33% more CUs - that would usually suggest it does better on lower power but we will see how that plays out over time

[manic rune]

I am curious to see what one of my use cases for the Lego 2 (or XAX, for that matter) will be with respect to battery - PS2 emulation. Lower wattage gains should really boost the playtime for those games.

[versed goblet]

[worthy edge]

Steam OS is the way

[long panther]

it probably has a super fast ssd

I wonder how fast you can reboot into another os on it

[versed goblet]

Ok were on the move now. Finally left china. So hopefully by end of week 🙏🤞

[versed goblet]

https://youtu.be/6XQNgTI6Q2Y?si=9o--1gyETq060yVV

Handy vid. Esp for newbies! Still odd choice it ships with 2gb vram

[torn wigeon]

no wonder the tests show it being so mid

i personally would of been looking stupid for ages cuz i never think to re allocate vram

[karmic crypt]

To be fair even when adjusted theyre still kinda mid. Incremental but nothing insane

[manic rune]

Lenovo has an allergy to allocating a lot of VRAM. Original Legion Go was like this, so was the Go S. I was planning to go into the BIOS the moment I get the 2 to increase the VRAM.

To be fair, not ALL games need a lot of VRAM ... but a lot of the heavy hitters do.

[plush acorn]

Ship date hasn’t changed but still no movement…

[torn wigeon]

where you find yours at

[plush acorn]

This is from Lenovo direct. I have one on order from Best Buy also but am gambling to see if this ship date is real (bb isn’t until 31st)

[versed goblet]

Support till 2031 :/

[manic rune]

Surprising ABSOLUTELY NO ONE:

(There's no change to the expected delivery date on the Lenovo web site ... still "Est Delivery : Get it between Thu. Oct 09 - Mon. Oct" ... but I got an email about the delay this morning at 5 AM.)

[versed goblet]

Mine has left china finally. But i currently have no idea where it is. No updates aside from that 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[plush acorn]

I got the same email.

[plush acorn]

“High demand and supply shortages”

[versed goblet]

Sounds promising though 🧐

Imagine your best buy one will turn up first though

[manic rune]

I wonder if ASUS will manage to get the Xbox Ally out on time...

[torn wigeon]

Doubt it

Hella people still believe this thing is a portable xbox

So it prob got wayyy more sales than it originally would of if it was advertised as a refreshed ally x

[manic rune]

We will find out in another week. At any rate, I'm not really expecting the Go 2 to get here before the end of the month since that was the original release date here and not a Lenovo lie on their site.

[karmic crypt]

Eh. Didn't really sell out tho

I think the price point all the negative influencer feedback that got did a number on it

[manic rune]

I think it did, at least in the US. You can technically "preorder" it on Best Buy now, but you won't get it until December 12.

They just did the preordering different for the XAX on Best Buy (probably because they were actually expecting it to sell).

The only one you can still get on release day is the (white) Xbox Ally - the $599 Deck-equivalent one.

[torn wigeon]

Went from october 17th to nov 14 to dec 12th they need to just delist the god damn thing

[plush acorn]

Just watched a review. Guy says mostly positives about it. Then at the end says it’s too expensive don’t buy it and wait for Xbox Ally X

I hope they all hate it and stop doing videos on it so I can corner the YT market on Lego 2 videos

[karmic crypt]

Ms be throwing perks

[manic rune]

Someday I'd just like them to ship my Go 2 ...

[torn wigeon]

No chance of getting that early like the xax huh

[versed goblet]

Nah it sold out everywhere. We cant even get Go S anymore in UK

This is all we get on lenovo site for any legion go in UK

Very (UK retailer) also sold out

[versed goblet]

Hope so 😅 xax just seems like a rehash in my opinion. Esp with Z2E not being much better than Z1E 😅

…and now xbox game pass isnt really worth it

On way and then to warehouse in another location 🤔 this makes no sense

[spring isle]

Definitely something weird going on with battery. I remember his ROG Ally X emulation showcase battery being way better than this

My suspicion is the VRR OLED screen burns more battery and I remember Asus mentioning this was one of the reasons they didnt go with OLED

Reason Deck OLED screen doesnt burn battery is its not native landscape and is a MIPI

Z2E at 17w and below should have way better battery than a Z1E

[latent pulsar]

hmm

[plush acorn]

Need my lego 2 to arrive already so I can start doing tests... 31st feels so far away lol

[manic rune]

I'm reduced to testing games on a Steam Deck .... A STEAM DECK I TELL YOU!

[subtle shoal]

Looked back at the ally x vid and where I noticed the big battery gaps was where he now applies the "CRT Geom Deluxe" shader on certain systems, which he did not use a year ago for that vid. For the higher systems like PS2/PS3/WiiU where that shader doesn't exist the numbers are pretty even.

Not saying that's 100% the culprit but worth mentioning.

[prisma hedge]

Oooh some CRT shaders can be heavy

That might be it

[spring isle]

But even the review earlier with no emulation the battery wasn't that impressive

Something is definitely up

I think to be sure we need a test woth the same chipset

Xbox Ally X vs Legion Go 2 vs Claw A8

At 10w, 17w and 25w

[subtle shoal]

Yeah def

But like even for NES he's pulling 8.3 W per hour, I find it hard to believe it wouldn't be able to be run at like 5 W or even lower.

[versed goblet]

Maybe the controllers are slowly sipping power from the tablet to stay charged up when disconnected 🤷🏻‍♂️ just a thought

Not an issue for aio devices like ally

[plush acorn]

Interesting theory. Could play with them detached and see the total draw difference

[versed goblet]

Yeah just a thought 😅 can imagine they are drawing some additional power from the tablet which you wouldn’t get with ally etc. When mine arrives I will give it a try

[plush acorn]

Preparing the older brothers to match up against their coming sibling…

[manic rune]

I need to see an epic battle between the Legion Go 2 and the Anbernic WIN600.

[long panther]

[manic rune]

(I mean ... I'm gonna DO it if they ever ship my Legion Go 2. Might not actually FILM it, but they're gonna rumble.)

[versed goblet]

I have some movement again 😬

[torn wigeon]

that one on the left looks goated idk why

[plush acorn]

Rip

Probably won’t even get here til after the 31st

One person on Reddit posted they have a January delivery date now

[versed goblet]

Yikes! Hows your best buy one doing?

Imagine they have commitments to 3rd parties. Very in UK got all their stock and dispatched it from what i hear

[versed goblet]

Ok my Go 2 is getting an all expenses paid trip around the world. Currently in new delhi 😅

[prisma hedge]

reminds me of when m RP5 was coming ... that went such ridiculous across the world trip

[versed goblet]

I hope its bringing me some souvenirs 🤣

[jovial shell]

Oof yikes 😬

[prisma hedge]

almost seems like that despie the crazy pricing ... they didnt expect so many orders

[mortal plover]

if you're gonna invest near or beyond $1k, might as well spend a few hundred more and get the Lego2, right?

[prisma hedge]

i have watched few reviews ... and decided to wait it out for Gen 3

the improveent its jsut not enough for the price i would get by selling my Gen1

[manic rune]

"Shipping Status Free Expedited Delivery with MyLenovo Rewards
Est Delivery : 01/08/2026"

This is some strange definition of the word "expedited" that I was not previously aware of.

[versed goblet]

Is that real? If so thats ridiculous

Ahhh sorry US date format threw me

Thought it was August 2026 😅

[karmic crypt]

Yikes. Kinda shocked they oversold like that

I mean from smaller companies sure

I know oled harder to mass produce, so it's probably panel shortage

At least with Lenovo you know you'll get top bin oled

[mortal plover]

I'd be surprised to see a company not accept someone's money in advance of releasing a product or service.

[karmic crypt]

Sure. But usually they set a release date and sell stock up to the quantity for that release

Like it's on the product page expected delivery

At least these major manus tend to be better with it. And the large retailers they sell through

So it's probably a yield issue with the new screen

[manic rune]

It's still pretty ridiculous given the date it was promised to ship.

[manic rune]

Lenovo apparently hired Ayaneo to take care of the Legion Go 2 release.

[manic rune]

That it's only delayed until the original release date suggests that no one really wanted the Z2/16GB SKU ...

[karmic crypt]

Don't hurt his feelings like that!

[jovial shell]

Got bumped to Jan 13th for my order in Canada now... Boo

[plush acorn]

Possibly. I only ordered it as maybe a comparison point but if it gets pushed back more may just cancel. Lets just hope Best Buy actually has my z2e on the 31st

[subtle shoal]

Call it cope but I have a feeling the January dates are not a real date they're shooting for. Feel like they just told the automated system to push out the date and that's what it spit out, I heavily doubt they're waiting that long

[manic rune]

I can't imagine it'll actually be three whole months for them to fulfill orders that were "supposed" to have already shipped. At any rate, as long as ASUS doesn't also flub their launch I should have something new to play with before too long.

[versed goblet]

Mines now on a euro trip

[manic rune]

at least it's out there having the time of its life.

[versed goblet]

It’s travelled more than i have in my lifetime

[plush acorn]

I'm cancelling my lenovo.com order. Only really ordered it in the first place in the hopes I'd get it sooner than my Best Buy order. BB is the Z2E anyway and much easier to return if I end up not keeping it.

[jovial shell]

Easier returns are always a good idea, especially considering the cost. If I could, id buy it from bestbuy as well.

[manic rune]

I'm keeping my Lenovo order for now because it was cheaper for me with an already-upgraded SSD than the Best Buy version. Though I'm not sure if I'll keep the order if it really does look like it'll be January after all. Right now I'm just going to wait a bit and see.

[jovial shell]

I'm in this one for the long haul. Maybe it'll end up being my birthday gift to myself instead of my christmas gift

[mortal plover]

Wasn't reddit in panic just few days ago from official smd drivers potentially not working?

[orchid knoll]

The lego 2 looks so glorious

But so expensive

I wish more handheld PCs had oled displays

[worthy edge]

I went from Steam Deck OLED to LeGo 1 and I am extremely happy with its screen

[orchid knoll]

How is the battery life in comparison? The bigger screen is pretty sick

[long panther]

steamdeck oled is the best value for gaming if you care about handheld gaming

amazing battery life, okay preformance, great ergos, good controls, superb support

if you care more about home usage I think the legion go 1 is better

battery life is the biggest thing holding it back

[worthy edge]

If you do the battery upgrade, IMO there are no negatives

[prisma hedge]

battery upgrade?

[worthy edge]

Battery upgrade + 3D printed backplate with better ventilation and separate compartment to house ribbon cable and 4 TB 2280 SSD, 2TB microSD, and left controller from the LeGo 2.

Yeah, there's a relatively easy battery upgrade for the LeGo 1

[prisma hedge]

battery upgrade sounds like something that could hold me until gen 3 😄

any link?

[worthy edge]

That's all I can find in my history right now. A lot of people have talked about it since then

[jovial shell]

I would avoid it... I ruined my legion go by doing the upgrade. You essentially need the new backplate as it's thicker so it pushes on the stock back shell and you need to remove a bunch of plastic for it to fit, not worth it in my opinion.

[prisma hedge]

from what i checked there are multiple versions

76kw .. thats bigger and needs new backplate
81kw 10500mah .. thats bigger and needs new backplate
81kw 10203mah that fits fine

but well my RMA end in january ... so will decide then

might sent it to service in january "just in case" to kinda let them check it 😄

[spark robin]

You could just do what I do, use a power bank if more power is needed.

It's better than a bigger battery, doesn't add to the weight.

[prisma hedge]

i mean i do have printed "deckmate" adapter .... so i can attach powerbank easily

[jovial shell]

I had the 81wh model

[prisma hedge]

had to be the 10500 i guess .. at least from i am reading around that the 10200 one sould be fine

will think it around after my rma runs out ... i dont really need it .. but its cheep and could extned the usecase 🤔

A bit irritated that ASUS doesn't charge until they actually ship while Lenovo just sits there with your money.

[plush acorn]

Fulfillment of all these new pc handhelds is a joke. Claw 8 still often out of stock. Lenovo cancelling and pushing back orders. Reports of people saying their XAX pickup dates pushed back to January.

[manic rune]

You'd think that these were the usual fly-by-nights like Ayaneo with this sort of nonsense ... not huge multinationals.

Absolute 🤡 show.

[prisma hedge]

I feel ita completely different scale

[spark robin]

Honestly, if anything, Lenovo, MSI, Asus etc tend to be worse with delays than Gpd, Ayaneo, etc.

[jovial shell]

92 days for me 😐

[spark robin]

Even the original deck launch had a big delay.

[jovial shell]

Couldn't agree more. The launch of the Ally had tons of stock, same with the legion go v1.... these latest rounds are a joke by comparison.

[versed goblet]

This is true. Pretty sure i had to wait about 6 months for my OG deck

[prisma hedge]

In US maybe, here it was quite lacking

[jovial shell]

"I’ll check on your order status. I appreciate your patience." Oh I have all day. It's thanksgiving here

[karmic crypt]

I have the 81wh battery mod. Shit is awesome

With bazzite it lasts days and days on standby

[prisma hedge]

which one you ordered?

(might grab it by the start of the year ... when my RMA expires)

[worthy edge]

Several of us have done the battery upgrade with no issues. I know myself, @formal meadow , @tall willow , @karmic crypt have all done it successfully and been happy with the results.

I like the backplate mod because it has other benefits beyond accommodating any extra thickness of the battery. If you get the right backplate, it has a compartment that moves the SSD away from the motherboard, which further improves heat dissipation and gives you access to cheaper 2280-format storage options.

[grizzled trail]

Has it come yet??

Mine would have been out for delivery too i guess if i hadn't cancelled lol, pain

[stark ginkgo]

👀

I wonder if I can find a dirt cheap lego 1 in the coming months

with lego 2 controllers and a battery mod it could be peak

and bazzite, obviously

[versed goblet]

It has, im just driving back now with it from the locker i got it delivered to 😅 im a little annoyed it wasn’t in a brown box. They slapped labels directly on it

Thankfully the security seal is intact

[formal meadow]

The 81wh battery mod has substantially improved the device for me, I truly have no desire to buy the LeGo2 now that I've done it

[prisma hedge]

any links for the good battery mod?

[grizzled trail]

Oh nahh that's well annoying!

[versed goblet]

Well it did a world tour - should have stickers from each country.

[versed goblet]

Yep! Im just at dinner, so i will upload some pics shortly when home. But yeah resale value is crap now thanks to all the labels stuck to the box

[versed goblet]

Its real!

Sadly don’t have time to play with it tonight. But tomorrow! Oh boy!

Soft case is rubbish. I hate it already. Will be buying a hard case asap

Off the bat. Ergo is so nice compared to Gen 1. Weight isn’t too bad. Feels about to same to me at least as Gen 1. But its nicely distributed.

Pardon me while I sulk in the corner for another 3 weeks

[versed goblet]

My eyes are melting at the moment watching an 8k oled test video

[plush acorn]

I wish windows hdr wasn’t such a headache

[grizzled trail]

I quite enjoy RTX HDR but obv that's not an option on handhelds

[versed goblet]

My wife asked me to try a bit of this game before i turned it off. Very colourful game

Speakers are really nice. About 30% volume in vid. I can hear decent bass. Much better than OG go 👍

Its probs not coming across on camera, but honestly this oled is nuts

[plush acorn]

You have to download and run the windows hdr calibration tool. And then adjust the sdr brightness slider. Still it’s not optimal for sdr content I’d only turn it on for hdr games and videos.

[versed goblet]

Ah sweet. Thanks for heads up. Going to start installing everything tomorrow when I have more time. So will give it a try 💪👍

[manic rune]

The soft case for the LeGo S is also kinda crap. Looks like Lenovo is keeping up their tradition for soft cases.

[versed goblet]

Yeah its crap. I am probs going to get the case that @haughty hatch recommended the skull & co one. The fact i can push all the buttons through the case doesn’t fill me with confidence that it will survive a fall

[manic rune]

My LCD Steam Deck got caught in the "update" loop out of the box, so it's not like Windows is the only janky shit around here.

[manic rune]

If it's really set to 2GB and not to auto then changing the vram is not a BAD idea.

[versed goblet]

I will check vram tomorrow on mine, But yeah apparently they are shipping with 2GB.

[grizzled trail]

Great choice! I loved that game when I played it. Perfect OLED showcase. Tetris Effect would be great too

[versed goblet]

Super hexagon is also a go to for my oled tests 😅

Also good for testing speakers 😅

was cheap enough to YOLO ... while my LeGo1 is nearing the end of warranty period

will probably wait for Gen 3 now

[versed goblet]

Just buy the gen 2 controllers and your halfway there 😅

[prisma hedge]

i think i am fine with the comfort grips 😄

[rich star]

Has anyone tried the gen 2 controllers on a regular windows pc and/or steam deck?

[haughty hatch]

the ufo concept handheld we deserve

[prisma hedge]

white stickers?

looks fire in white

[haughty hatch]

yes

[prisma hedge]

i ordered these alongside the battery .. so hope it will look cool too

[long panther]

I honestly still kinda wish this thing had a 1600p screen

I would rather take 1600p for india games and 800p for tripple a games

[plush acorn]

I’m reserving resolution judgement until I see it in person. Usually I prefer 300ppi or more but this is at least more dense than something like deck oled.

[long panther]

also yeah the ppi might not actually be ideal for retro shaders or whatever

although I'm not the best judge

so don't count on that

[plush acorn]

I don’t even like playing retro on this big of a screen personally

Other devices for that

[prisma hedge]

although i did try DS on my LeGo 😄

[versed goblet]

Ok confirmed comes set to 2GB out of the box. Just upped mine to 8GB

Setup begins

Aliexpress case isn’t too bad. Will do till i get a hard case. But would ideally like a case that lets me take joycons off

[spark robin]

To copy paste the usual rant -

1600p is perfect for AAA games (800p integer scaled), emulation upscaling, older games, indie games, streaming, ebooks....

[long panther]

The very least 1200p should be better for shows and movies I guess

[versed goblet]

Super hexagon looking nice on the oled. Not a bad run for doing it one handed 😅

[plush acorn]

Counter point. 800p integer scaled is still 800p and on a 8.8” screen that’s pretty chunky. 1200p on a 1600p screen is less sharp than 1200p on a 1200p screen

[manic rune]

But to be fair, a lot of retro games were designed to be played on screens bigger than the Legion Go (2)'s. We might have had smaller TVs back in the day, but 13" was still considered small.

[plush acorn]

Yeah but usually not 16” from your face heh

Regardless of how they were meant to be played is still an independent fact from my preference as stated.

[manic rune]

I had a 19" TV on my desk as a "monitor" for my C=64 because I couldn't afford a 1702. That was also what my Atari got hooked to.

Hmm ... I don't mind the Lego S's screen at 1200P ... don't think I will actually mind the Go 2's screen being also 1200P.

[versed goblet]

Gah! I hate windows! .net is refusing to install for older games. 🙄 im sure i will figure it out

[worthy edge]

Can confirm.

LeGo 1 + LeGo 2 controller + battery + Steam OS = happiness

[prisma hedge]

+maybe bigger ssd 😄

[worthy edge]

Okay, full list on mine is LeGo 1 + LeGo 2 controller + battery + backplate + 4 TB 2280 SSD + 2 TB micro SD + Steam OS lol

[prisma hedge]

My is 2tb ssd+ battery ..... just hope I bought right battery

Will probably stay on windows for easier rpcs3/xenia

lets hope pocket ds will be faster

You ordered one too?

i most likely wont be ever touching ayaneo again even if my flip 1s ever arrives

[jovial shell]

Fair. I had a lot of issues back in the day with my AYANEO Air Pro. I love their android side though.

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. Sorry man. The way handled that and some of the issues they've shipped with. Yikes

Ayaneo almost just feels like an outsourcing contractor. And depending on who gets the contract it's either an awesome device or total ass

And it's completely random

[spark robin]

They probably are to be honest.

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. Wouldn't shock me. Feel like different lines are made by completely different chains. Which is probably true

At least with their air and konkr stuff it looks like they picked right

Legion Go 2 Review

5/10

"Too expensive"

[versed goblet]

Can’t spell ignorant without ign 🤣

[haughty hatch]

Dbrand case looks tempting

i wonder go 2 will have same treatment

[karmic crypt]

Both too expensive imo 😆

[plush acorn]

I mean, people have been waging tribal wars over ally vs. legion go for the last two years... nothing new.

This just in, luxury items are expensive and unneccesary but still fun sometimes. More news at 10.

[prisma hedge]

tbh i am now quite excited for my new battery and skin to arrive 😄

[manic rune]

I mean ... I'm buying one because I must have that screen, but it's fair to criticize the price. $1350 vs $1000 is a significant difference for what's effectively going to be the same performance for most games. And ASUS did get the full screen experience as a default, which is a usability win over the Go 2 as it currently exists.

[plush acorn]

ACSE is also better than Legion Space

[manic rune]

It'll be like the Go 1 ... far fewer accessories because the Ally models are going to massively outsell the Go 2. (Part of the reason for that this generation is because Lenovo apparently can't actually make enough to sell - witness that you basically can't even buy a Go 2 in the US anymore, while you can still preorder/order the Ally models)

[plush acorn]

even without FSE

Legion Go is a niche in a niche

[manic rune]

True, Legion Space is kinda ... ass.

Still has an annoying habit of just not working when you actually want to do something with it.

[plush acorn]

I just re-set up a go 1 from scratch for some upcoming videos. And just getting legion space isntalled and properly responding to the buttons (when it feels like it) was already a headache.

Hits button. no overlay. hit button again. no overlay. about to hit button third time. overlay flashes then disappears, then gets stuck halfway out.

lol

[karmic crypt]

Time to put bazzite on and never look back

[manic rune]

That is the definitive Legion Space experience right there ...

[karmic crypt]

My bazzite lego1 is basically flawless

[plush acorn]

Oh, it's just on windows for comparison purposes. My go S is on steamOS.

[karmic crypt]

Standby also lasts for 2 weeks with 81wh battery which is just kinda bonkers

[plush acorn]

I never turn my go s off

Just tap button for standby, never an issue. so much nicer than windows. Hibernate exists but doesn't always work

[worthy edge]

If you're still using Windows on a LeGo, I just feel like you're a masochist

[manic rune]

I have my Go 1 on Windows because I actually do some not-gaming stuff with it, Usually its on a dock. It's a good mini-PC as it is.

[grizzled trail]

100% positive feedback across ~300 reviews, but god damn this description is dodgy lol

[plush acorn]

Eh, if the pics and everything else is legit It doesn't particularly set off alarm bells

[latent pulsar]

that ebay?

[versed goblet]

If he wanted to recoup money he would still be within his return period surely 😅 he would get all his money back

Very dodgy or just a scalper scalping

[grizzled trail]

Yeah, just checked out of curiosity lol

https://ebay.us/m/D72hGq

[manic rune]

Says zero feedback as a seller.

... but I vote scalper.

[versed goblet]

£20 delivery is a bit steep, but bearing in mind lenovo put label directly on box. So that box is going to look awful. Imagine they will have ripped all labels off

[versed goblet]

Yeah all purchase feedback. No sales

He also started the auction around £500ish. Who would be crazy enough to risk losing that much money :/

Looking a person beginning with 7***a keeps pushing the bids up

@grizzled trail look at this one £4k they are having a laugh right 🤣

[plush acorn]

It's set up as bidding, they know damn well someone will pay more than retail

[plush acorn]

Oh that's a good point. Could be a stolen ebay account...

[grizzled trail]

Ahhh

[grizzled trail]

Good Lord

[worthy edge]

Guys it's for real it fell off a lorry down the high street and me mate caught it just before it hit the street!

[plush acorn]

So I found this on reddit, and what's crazy, is my legion go S (on steam os) at 33w (2 less than this benchmark) gets 47-48fps - a whopping 8% improvement for the Go 2

And get this, my z1e Go s at 15w.... 33fps... the exact same.

Normally I might discard a reddit benchmark, but someone in another discord had similar numbers when they tested cp2077

[versed goblet]

Windows is the issue as always. Pretty sure i saw someone post on reddit windows vs steamos for go 2. Some definite gains to be had with steamos

Will see if i can find it

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegionGo/s/lvNTgnYdzi

[plush acorn]

12.5% difference from z1e to z2e here

[manic rune]

Xbox Ally performing worse than the Deck is interesting. Guess I'm not surprised - similar APU but Windows still a drain on performance for the Xbox Ally.

[stark ginkgo]

Yeah not really apples to apples unless they install Linux on the ally

[worthy edge]

Steam OS perf gains were immediately noticeable when I installed it on my Go 1

[jovial shell]

Looks like the real next gen handheld was the Claw 8 AI + all along

Intel has done miracles with their latest few driver updates

[upper halo]

Still applies 🤣🤣🤣

I wish they made more than one a week though so more people can actually buy one 😅

[jovial shell]

Still low stock in the US?

[upper halo]

VERY LOW

I'm sadly not joking when it seems like one unit comes in-stock every week

[latent pulsar]

man i do want an msi claw 8 😄

[manic rune]

It's a party in the USA:

[torn wigeon]

Funny how this is exactly what i did

My claw gets here tmrw

Once the legion go 2 stock is abundant ill sell it and get a go 2 tho

[rich star]

Has Lenny said anything about when the controllers will be sold separately? That's the only thing I'm really interested in lmao

[versed goblet]

Pretty sure they are already available to buy

[rich star]

The site says "available soon" on both of them

[versed goblet]

Oh…..they did have some available…im guessing they sold out again. Hopefully be back soon

Might be worth asking the lenovo chat thing when they are being restocked

[rich star]

Ah dang. I'll probably just wait for them to be more readily available, thanks. Need to make sure they actually work well as regular pc controllers!

[lean epoch]

I prefer Legion Go 2 over Xbox Ally X anyway.

IGN has lost credibility.

Since the Sonic Racing Crossworlds review.

[prisma hedge]

Way way before that

[mortal plover]

they had credibility?

i miss the days of getting my coverage from 1up.com

[versed goblet]

Verge and IGN both are going the same way IMO. As are most big publications in fairness. It’s hard to find a decent one these days. I actually find i get more out hearing opinions from the community i.e here or reddit.

[latent pulsar]

Yep 😄 partly why i started reviewing XD got irritated with a lot of other places. Lot of community crap out there but it's the way forward

[versed goblet]

[worthy edge]

I already bought and received mine...

[rich star]

Yeah, seems like they just sold out real quick. I guess the entire console is having stock issues? You hate to see it

[worthy edge]

To be fair, I had the page opened and checked multiple times every day for at least a couple weeks for them to come into stock. If I wasn't the first order, I had to be close.

Like when I first started checking they didn't even have an entry for the controllers on the stock page...then it got added, but it was out of stock...then I just checked constantly until one morning they showed up and I insta-ordered.

[torn wigeon]

@manic rune is it only the z2e legion 2's being delayed or are the z2s pushed back aswell

[jovial shell]

A quick read of people opinions on go 2 😅 will hopefully help the wait

[mortal plover]

For a few hundred more it makes sense.

[manic rune]

I guess only two weeks after the supposed release date was too much to hope for...

... and I still don't think Lenovo has any idea what the word "expedited" even means.

In the meantime, ASUS has actually shipped my XAX and it's supposed to arrive Wednesday ... while Lenovo is apparently still looking under couch cushions for parts to try to cobble together a few more handhelds.

[versed goblet]

Lenovo really need to ship these in brown boxes. They have ruined the box on mine by slapping shipping labels on it. So resale value is gone. But also its plastered all over the box that its legion go 2. So hopefully when they do ship we wont get doorstep thefts etc

Mine came directly from china than a local warehouse

[plush acorn]

11 more days 🤞

[jovial shell]

44 for days for me

[upper halo]

I’m almost positive BB will not ship on Oct 31 😂

[manic rune]

Do Legion Go 2's for North America even exist? Will they just keep our money until January and then LOLrefund us?

Looks like only the Z2 Legion Go 2 (16GB/1TB) is on offer at Lenovo

(And who knows when they'd actually deliver...)

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. I always get confused when I go there. Cause it's like, here's the models, and then it's just the lower one 😆

[versed goblet]

@vapid pier Don’t forgot the controllers can now be bought separately too for LeGo 1

Now available for preorder on main site. Not just their parts site

Although looks like they sold out quick. But guessing more should be coming

[vapid pier]

That's awesome!

[vapid pier]

Yeah and at BB seems only top spec is staying in stock

I saw it sell out and then pop back up for a while

For base

[prisma hedge]

i think i would need to compare in hand 🤔 ... i am basically using the comfort printed grips and been fine enough

• i basically just upgraded the SSD and new bigger battery is on the way

[versed goblet]

They feel way nicer than OG. Imagine comfort grips will feel bigger in the hand. Bit how xbox ally flare out. This feels a bit more discreet. But vastly better than OG. It has curves in all the right places 😅

[prisma hedge]

no rush 😄

will eed the new battery to arrive first before planning more stuff

[prisma hedge]

• i might wait it out for my warranty to expire before putting it in anyway

[jovial shell]

Make sure @north flax knows. I think Russ wanted some.

[versed goblet]

Hopefully your ping will inform him 😅 the controllers seem to keep going in and out of stock on main site. So worth refreshing

[versed goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-cat-peek-gif-10008520

[worthy edge]

Ergo on the new controllers is great, but the biggest improvement is the d-pad. I didn't have a huge problem with the grips added before, but the d-pad always bugged me.

Granted, I'm also the one everybody thinks is a monster because I'm using the new Go 2 left controller on a Go 1 unit with the original right controller with comfort grip. 😛

https://tenor.com/view/do-what-you-gotta-do-scott-forrester-fbi-international-do-whatever-you-want-do-what-you-have-to-do-gif-25961272

Nothing crazy about it. The gap at top and bottom is the only thing that annoys me about go 2 controller on go 1.

[jovial shell]

You have a grip for it?

[versed goblet]

Yeah. Aliexpress one

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuazHiG

Its not bad. But it doesnt allow you to take controllers off. So it will do for now till I find a better case

Also these are the only screen protectors I found that fit. I tried a few and they were all too big

[jovial shell]

AM Film is great

Wish I saw that before I bought the official one

[versed goblet]

Yeah they seem to be only ones the correct size. There isnt many accessories out 😅 so mostly relying on Aliexpress for now

Their softcase that comes with the lego2 is absolute rubbish though. Im probs going to get the skull and co hard case that keeps getting recommended.

[jovial shell]

That fits?

[versed goblet]

Yep. Its tight but it fits apprently

@haughty hatch is using this case for theirs

[haughty hatch]

yep

[worthy edge]

In all honesty, I haven't felt the need at all to putz around with anything on mine after this one last "mod." I absolutely love it, daily drive it every day as both game handheld and laptop on my desk at work. Fucking awesome device.

[haughty hatch]

you cant add another grip case

[versed goblet]

Sounds awesome. LeGo 1 was my daily but now go 2. Still keeping my go 1 though to tinker with

Waiting for a tate mode attachment really for go 2. What made me fall in love with the Go 1. The flexibility

Poor choice of game though 😅 only pic i had to hand

[prisma hedge]

you gotta do NDS 😄

or go deeper for pinball

[worthy edge]

Yeah, I do pinball on mine. Pinball FX, Zaccaria, Demon's Tilt...

[manic rune]

The case situation is a bit annoying with all these new devices. So I have to spend $1k-$1.5k on the device and y'all can't even throw in a serviceable carrying case?

... while I can pick up a Steam Deck for $320 and Valve ships it to me in a perfectly functional hard case so I don't feel like a have to buy one.

(At least the OG Legion Go came with a case I could actually put in my backpack without worrying the system would get damaged...)

[prisma hedge]

i kinda use tablet case fo my LeGo tablet 😄 and unbranded rg405v ase for gamepads

i also have printed half case for when i have it all in my workbag from some slovak guy on etsy

[high cypress]

I have ordered these same protectors and they arrived at my home today. I'll try them later

[versed goblet]

Yeah these seem to be best i could find

Amazon hate me. A lot of returns 😅

[high cypress]

I'd say that it's enough when it does its work 😊

Protecting the screen, without lifting up

[jovial shell]

@versed goblet Where did you order your Legion Go 2 from again?

[versed goblet]

Lenovo directly

But it shipped from china rather than a local warehouse

I managed to order on UK site before it disappeared. No longer showing on there now

I ordered via lenovo as i get work discount. So managed to get price down on the z2e model

[high cypress]

I also have this same case but it doesn't fit to me 🫠

I bought another type of case

[versed goblet]

Oh really! I knew it was a tight fit.

[high cypress]

It's arrived with the protectors

[versed goblet]

Which one if you dont mind me asking?

[high cypress]

I'll link it

[versed goblet]

Still searching for a decent case

[high cypress]

I ordered 4 different cases 🤣 I'm a lot picky 🫠

[jovial shell]

Lenovo's supervisor gave me a more accurate details on Canadian shipping. Nov 3-7th.

[high cypress]

But I want a case that maybe doesn't press on the analog sticks or bumpers

And the original case sucks🫠 I wish Lenovo made the case like the LeGo1

[versed goblet]

Thats not bad! Some people still have estimates into 2026

[versed goblet]

Agreed. I can press the buttons through the crappy case they supply

Imagine no support for screen if dropped

[manic rune]

Yours is still showing December on the site, right?

[high cypress]

I get mad for that case, i just refuse to playing on the go for that case

@versed goblet according to the measures, this case should fit

https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/d/B0192PLKSO?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

It also comes woth sponge pre-cut so you can give the shape of the LeGo

[jovial shell]

Correct

But as the supervisor states, early nov shipping

[versed goblet]

Sweet cheers. Military grade 💪💪💪 haha

[high cypress]

I want the best protection out there without having the button press issues🤣

I also ordered this

https://www.amazon.it/gp/aw/d/B0FKGMBTYK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

But returned because you need to do some 3D printing sheanigans and I don't have a 3D printer (for now)

But it fits well in the bottom

But you still need spacers for left and right

[versed goblet]

Yeah i sold my 3d printer. I like your thinking with the tough case though.

Its a shame its so hard to get hold of. Hopefully we will get more options soon for cases. Heck i’d even get a dbrand killswitch case if they did one at this point

[high cypress]

Honestly I want a 3D printer, but I simply don't have space in my home 🫠

And the money.. i just bought the LeGo2 (900 bucks..)

[high cypress]

I hope so too

[versed goblet]

Go s got a killswitch. So 🤞

[high cypress]

There are some silicone cases btw

[worthy edge]

This is my Lego 1 case

The controllers just go in a pocket of my backpack.

Much more compact than a big hard case, especially when I carry the backpack anyway.

[versed goblet]

My aliexpress one is doing the job atm, but would like one that allows me to take controllers off

[high cypress]

Yeah but it's a pain every time you want to play because you need to connect the joysticks

[high cypress]

This one will allow me to carry the power brick too as well as the joystick connectors (on saturday will be delivered to me the Legion Official one)

Plus the 2D drawings of this case are public, so if you want to make some 3D printed stuff to hold things better you can

[worthy edge]

I use mine on my desk at work every day, so I disconnect the controllers anyway.

[high cypress]

Of course for your use case is the best thing to do

[manic rune]

I have been a traitor to my OG Legion Go because I've recently been using it exclusively docked with a Gamesir G7 Pro instead of the joycons.

[worthy edge]

In other news, there are people who haven't uninstalled copilot.

Gotta say that so far I am enjoying my XAX. It's going to be my travel handheld PC while the Legion Go 2 stays safely at home. If Lenovo ever ships it to my home ...

80Wh battery is nothing to sneeze at, after all.

[vapid pier]

😂

[karmic crypt]

Gpd win mini for travel. Lego 2 for couch

I'm not gonna pretend the xax or anything that size would ever leave the house for me 😆

[mortal plover]

Love seeing the gpd win mini getting recognition, it's truly the Goldilocks PC handheld in their lineup of products.

[prisma hedge]

i loved Win2 back in the days ... so mini so far has been its great successor 😄

[manic rune]

I brought my XAX to work yesterday (had a bunch of dead time in the middle of the day). Turns out my Legion Go S case fits my XAX well enough (it's not molded to the Go S) for travel until I get something more official.

Just never been a fan of the mini laptop form factor (Had a Sony Vaio mini and a JVC mini note ... and haven't wanted to mess with that form factor since).

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. It's doable. I used to bring my steam deck around. Problem is id also occasionally want a keyboard. Etc. I ended up with a bt Lenovo one that's pretty sweet. The fact that you can pop controllers off Lego 2 and use the kickstand is pretty sick for that. And win mini works great in a pinch

[versed goblet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegionGo/s/wk4Cox0VIL

Bingo! This might be the case 💪

[high cypress]

@versed goblet i tried this case as well 🤣

It fits and the protection for the screen is great

But I returned (🥲) because the LeGo 2 slides a little up and down (there is 2 mm i think of space) and when it goes up, the bumpers are pressed 🫠
So to avoid this you should put a little spacer between the upper side of the LeGo2 and the case

I tried with a cardboard spacer I made but I didn't like the fact the LeGo2 gets stuck in the case..

I could try again ordering a 3D printed spacer.. thick enough to not get stuck the LeGo2 and the bumpers not pressed

I also found this case, but no option to ship in Italy via Amazon so I want to make 1000% sure that it fits how I like so I can order in their website..

https://www.amazon.com/Carrying-Capacity-Portable-Protective-Accessories-Storage/dp/B0FPM2R9VR?th=1&psc=1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor

[versed goblet]

Ahhhh ok thanks for the heads up. The hunt continues 😅

[high cypress]

It's been like 4/5 hours a day for me to look for the best case out there

[high cypress]

I'd like to see if this one is ok

[versed goblet]

Its on amazon uk. I will get it and give it a try and then return if not great

[high cypress]

On jsaux site they say it should be ok

[high cypress]

Oh perfect, can you check for me the internal dimensions for the vertical side? It should be ok if the size is 145 mm (for this measure it's better using a spacer)

But according to the pics, i'd say it is 140mm more or less

It could be ok too, but i want to verify with the pics

[versed goblet]

Arriving on Sunday 👍

Sorry only just managed to put order in. Busy day at work

[high cypress]

No prob man

Lmk

Do you have the silicone case?

[versed goblet]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyY3eY4

This yeah

Its not bad actually for aliexpress. But it doesnt let you take controllers off

[high cypress]

Well, if the LeGo2 fits with the silicone case in this, it surely fits without🤣

[high cypress]

How is your feeling in playing with the silicone case ?

[prisma hedge]

thats nice one ... is there varant ofr firs lego?

[versed goblet]

Feels great. I actually quite like it. But it makes it into an all in one unit though. Hopefully they will come out with a 2nd gen design soon that lets you take controllers off

There is 2 secs 🙂

That store may not be cheapest. But should come up if you search “legion go tpu” 😅 think its a no name brand case that just does drop shipping via aliexpress. Its actually pretty good quality wise. Ive had worse from AliE before

[prisma hedge]

i think they started making his style some time afer i ordered he oled one 😄

would be nice if it also improved the shape of lego1 controllers

[versed goblet]

It does have a bit of a bump on the lego 2 model. So gives it a bit extra cushion to grab onto. Which is why I like it. Lego 2 has good ergo. This just gives it 10% more really.

[jovial shell]

Ha looks good but wow this looks huge!

[versed goblet]

Haha i have small hands 😅

Its about same size as Gen 1 really

Case doesnt add much to it

[plush acorn]

I should probably have already ordered this so it would arrive in time... $25 is steep for aliexpress though lmao

[upper halo]

[plush acorn]

Looks like I can get the same silicone case on amazon for cheaper (still not fast delivery though)

oh wait there's a prime option for 20, cool

This looks to be the same for cheaper if you're in the US: https://www.amazon.com/NINKI-Shockproof-Anti-Scratch-Protective-Accessories/dp/B0FVF7LS91

@versed goblet do you have an issue with the left joystick cap hitting the case? Lol saw someone on reddit complaining about joystick issues but turned out to just be the case.

[versed goblet]

Yeah thats the same one

[plush acorn]

$62... damn

[versed goblet]

I havent noticed anything. Mine works fine. Been playing fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[plush acorn]

Ima hit up my jsaux contact to try their case

[versed goblet]

I got one arriving sunday. So will let you know. Its hard to find a decent hard case 😅

[jovial shell]

Wow I walked right into that one 🤦‍♂️

[vapid pier]

Lenovo Legion Go 2

Wasn't coming up in search 😆

[versed goblet]

Whats going on with that left stick

[manic rune]

That Legion Go is definitely excited to see someone.

[versed goblet]

https://youtu.be/01lzXORYX78?si=94YL4xZ2RH9INeS3

Legion Go Battery Bank is finally out. LENOVO30SALE for 30% off

[plush acorn]

Yeah totally gonna spend $80 on a battery bank that is half the capacity of a $40-50 one, lol.

[versed goblet]

But it has a kickstand 😅

Give it a little bit and this will be clearance.

[high cypress]

@versed goblet the JSAUX case is supposed to be delivered today correct?

[versed goblet]

Tomorrow 🙂

[high cypress]

Oh okie, let me know then

[versed goblet]

Will do 🙂

[high cypress]

If it could help, it should fit better using the protection as cover for the bottom

I saw in the review pics that the vertical size is 140 mm

[versed goblet]

Arriving in a few hours. So keep you updated

[high cypress]

Ok thx mate

[versed goblet]

@high cypress @plush acorn got it! Massive case. Like huge! 😅 but in a good way. Loads of room to stash accessories in here. The LeGo 2 plus my case. Fits just fine. The flap over the screen was a bit tough, but after a few folds it has loosened up. There is a 1cm gap on the sides of the lego. To the left and right. No gap on the top and bottom. Although there is a gap on the sides. It doesnt slide around. I have shaken case around. LeGo 2 doesnt move. I think its essentially sat in the grooves underneath perfectly. So yeah no movement whatsoever

[high cypress]

@versed goblet many thanks for the feedback!
Could you please take a pic for the gap top and bottom?

[versed goblet]

Cant fit a uk plug in underneath section, but uk plug stick out a bit. So not the cases fault

[high cypress]

Do you feel the LeGo 2 fit just fine or a bit forced?

[high cypress]

With the flap up please 😅

[versed goblet]

Top

Bottom

[versed goblet]

No force needed. Sits fine. And easy to get out too

Ignore music in background

Me trying to wiggle it

[high cypress]

Oh this is nice 😊 thanks a lot for the feedback, so for you this is THE case ?

[versed goblet]

Yeah. But it does feel massive. Biggest case i own

But im fine with it for the protection it offers

[high cypress]

Time to buy then, awful that there isn't option for Amazon italy

[versed goblet]

I just need a slim charger to sit inside the case

Uk plugs stick out annoyingly

So doesnt sit flush in case. But im sure i can find a slim charger out there

Thats not the fault of the case though. I think its expecting a US or EU charger. UK ones a bit awkwardly shaped

@jovial shell just a heads up when you get yours. We may have found perfect case. Sadly the free one it comes with is trash. So don’t recommend keeping it long term

[high cypress]

I'm really glad the one I suggested works fine

I'm on my way to get one

[jovial shell]

I rarely use cases, just my tomtoc sling

Good to know though! Which one?

[versed goblet]

https://www.amazon.ca/JSAUX-Carrying-Capacity-Protective-Accessories/dp/B0FD3WWPB2

[versed goblet]

😉 extra content. Best cases for LeGo 2 😅

Anything is better than the rubbish free one though

It’s ok if at home. But def wouldnt travel with it. Provides 0 protection

[jovial shell]

Maaaaaaybe

[long panther]

lenovo needs to release a keyboard accessory

[high cypress]

I refuse to play on the go with the Go 2 woth the original case

[versed goblet]

Im eyeing up the key-to-go 2 from logitech. Seems pretty slim. I think it may fit in the new case i just bought 😬

[versed goblet]

Same. But glad that hell is over now 🤣

[long panther]

that works with the legion go 2?

[versed goblet]

Bluetooth

[long panther]

I was thinking about attaching

[versed goblet]

Yeah. Not sure there is anything just yet

Hopefully soon 🤞

[long panther]

it's literally a mini laptop

[versed goblet]

Although idea has just come to mind. Flat Usb c to usb pointing upwards cable. That would make keys to go into a usb keyboard

This would work

[worthy edge]

They did. I have it, and it is glorious. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories/acc500164-thinkpad-trackpoint-keyboard-ii-overview-and-service-parts

Use it every day.

[long panther]

this thing attaches to the go 2?

[worthy edge]

You mean physically?

[stark ginkgo]

I’d settle for them making a thinkpad mini with the y700 lcd in this size category lol

Give it the nipple mouse and a touchscreen, no trackpad

I would buy that shit so fast

[karmic crypt]

Can second that Lenovo keyboard. Been so useful with x86 handhelds

[versed goblet]

@plush acorn hows your bestbuy order looking? Still 31st? 😬🤞

[karmic crypt]

BB usually decent at hitting deadlines. Guess we'll see tho. Hoping my Nov 12 gets bumped up honestly. About 5 cancellations a day and I was on site when Nov 12 stock dropped

[plush acorn]

Hopefully. It’s never said a date, always just been “well let you know when it’s ready”

I did store pickup and not shipping

[karmic crypt]

I should have probably done pickup

I was just speeding through cause I thought it was a cancellation for launch

[plush acorn]

I ordered day 1 so hopefully it’s ready Friday

I’m working from home so I’ll pick it up on lunch break if it’s ready

[upper halo]

I don't have that much confidence in it based on prior launches at BB

[plush acorn]

Mine is even more vague.

[upper halo]

it will be interesting to see what happens 😅

@versed goblet I asked to JSAUX if the case you bought could be avail in Amazon Italy
They answered me that it shoul be avail next week, so 🤩

[versed goblet]

Just ordered skull n co stick caps. Slowly coming together 😅

Getting vibes of when i put all accessories on my gameboy back in the day

Not my pic 😅

[grizzled trail]

I've got them (well, their "Savage Raven" sub-brand) on my Switch 2 and they rule

[versed goblet]

I have them on most of my handhelds. But finding ones that fit the lego 2 is tricky. Was recommended steam deck ones. Apparently fit fine

[plush acorn]

Status has changed to say Friday 👀

[versed goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-8593213374087197675

Remember 2GB vram out of the box.

[versed goblet]

Steam Deck caps fit perfectly. Caps ✅ TPU Case ✅ Hard Travel Case ✅ 1TB SSD and 1TB SD ✅

I feel like more can be done with the LeGo 2

https://tenor.com/view/isnt-even-my-final-form-gif-11810117

[prisma hedge]

heh ... thats how my LeGo1 will feel when i am done with it .... the new battery, skin and tpu should arrive by the end of he week

[versed goblet]

💪💪💪💪 sounds awesome. Waiting for black friday to get a 4TB drive. But this thing is going to become a beast in the words of ETA 😅

[prisma hedge]

oh i have 2tb drive ready for it too , but waiting for everything to arrive before putting it in

[versed goblet]

May as well do it with battery 👍

[prisma hedge]

yup

only cloned the old one for now

[versed goblet]

Considering upgrading my lego1 for the wife 🙂 so will see how you get on with yours

[prisma hedge]

• i need to print 2230 to 2240 extender 😄

[plush acorn]

Did you just get legion go screen protectors?

[versed goblet]

Only 3rd party ones that fit. I tried a few. Amazon hate me for all the returns 😅

Most claim they fit but are too small

https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Protector-Transparent-Anti-Scratch-Anti-Fingerprint/dp/B0FM3MZQSG

[karmic crypt]

amFilm are one of the best third parties. If they're ever an option I always get them

[versed goblet]

Yeah i think i got them on my switch 2 as well 👍 fit perfectly

[versed goblet]

https://youtu.be/gV7JDcaVGNA?si=F--Q4JcQg9FNrq0N

His gushing over the screen is how i feel 😍🫠🫠

[prisma hedge]

i will probably upgrade to gen 3 or 4 for oled 😄 .... given the upgrade i will do soon for my gen 1 i am in no rush 😄

[versed goblet]

Gen 1 still has one of the best LCD screens out there! So i don’t blame you

[prisma hedge]

i was considering it ... especially given how thx to dollar falling ... the gen 2 isnt that much pricier here than Lego 1was on launch )

but then i just had different expenses (pricey car repairs) and was just cheaper to get vigger SSD and battery

[karmic crypt]

If you can afford it, def the current x86 that makes the most sense. Alternatively I'd go with an Apex for top power. With this you get Lenovo support and parts tho. Hard to argue with that

[prisma hedge]

tbh powerwise i see it as minor upgrade from lego1

[karmic crypt]

For sure. But OLED, better ergos, etc.

[prisma hedge]

will be why i will wait for gen 3/4 instead for bigger powerjump

[karmic crypt]

I might not upgrade from a Lego 1 (even tho I am), but it's gonna be top dog from a major manu until next round of amd chips relese

[prisma hedge]

true

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. Might be another full year til 3 drops

Maybe longer. Feel like trade wars are slowing stuff down

[prisma hedge]

and with me adding 2tb ssd and 81kwh battery to mine .. this weekend (if everything arrivers and post people dont fuck me up)

it will be quite refreshed for another year or two 😄

for ergo i usually either just use Tablet + Pro 3 anyway 😄 or comfort grips ... so not really needed either

[prisma hedge]

if i dont messup the battery change 🤞

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. I mean it's def not a bad alternative

Financially it makes more sense. Especially if you're optimistic and assume prices will go back down at some point

[manic rune]

Somehow it feels wrong to check on the status of my Legion Go 2 order using my Legion Go.

... but I did get one of those Trackpoint keyboards and it is NICE.

[worthy edge]

I try to tell people

[karmic crypt]

Yeah. Thinkpad Bluetooth keyboard is amazing for handhelds

Especially legion with kickstand

[manic rune]

It's basically my X1 Tablet's keyboard but universal.

[prisma hedge]

Battery has arrived

[worthy edge]

For anyone else wanting just the controllers, I received this notice this morning

[prisma hedge]

now i need to print the 2230-2242 extender

[spring isle]

I wish Lenovo had an official magnetically attached Keyboard cover like we get with tablets. It would have been my all in one laptop replacement.

[prisma hedge]

i got printed one from etsy 😄 .. works OKish

[spring isle]

But doest it actually attach to the decice and cover screen

[prisma hedge]

works like this basically

[spring isle]

I work a hybrid job it would be nice to simply use this for work and take it in the train with me

[spring isle]

Oh its a cover that just adds too much bulk

How easy is it to remove it

[prisma hedge]

tbh you hardy find slimmer keyboard

[spring isle]

Thars why I wish therr was something official that connects magnetically I like my keyboard cover for Samsung Tablets

Hell they could have even sold this without controllers and just keyboard for a different market

[prisma hedge]

yeah ... tbh it works eneought for my needs - aaka when i go to work at some customers offices , its fine enought to slide in alongside work laptop (so i can conect to computer at home , which is impoossible with work one)

[mortal plover]

that keyboard/cover looks awesome, only thing missing is a track pad or a mouse nub

[plush acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/majoras-mask-majora-zelda-final-day-gif-26658556

Still waiting for Lenovo to ship. I'm sure they have been having a party with my money for the last month.

Funny thing is that ASUS didn't actually charge my credit card for my XAX until it had been delivered.

[plush acorn]

Got my

LEG

[latent pulsar]

whoo!

[prisma hedge]

i have been testing my new LeGo1 battery 😄
so good :-D'
4h of Forza 3 on default power mode

[plush acorn]

Gangs all here

Windows updates…. 💤

[prisma hedge]

btw how is the case that comes with LeGo2?

i have been wathing to get some slim case ... cause the official lego2 one is monstrously huge and seen the LeGo S and Lego2 being slimmer

[plush acorn]

I think it's pretty much the same as the Go S case. Which is to say, the materials feel nice, but it's a soft case so won't protect the joysticks from getting pressed in in a bag

[prisma hedge]

thats fine ... i got stick protectors 😄

[prisma hedge]

oh that looks slimmer than i though ... might be exactly what i need 😄

[plush acorn]

Bit more snug on go 1 but still fits.

Not sure if that sipper would leave marks on the bumper

[prisma hedge]

cool cool and seems like they got discount for one in local shop ... will try tomorrow i guess 😄

[upper halo]

Is the case still included or was this separate?

[plush acorn]

Included

[upper halo]

Nice! That doesn't look bad at all

[plush acorn]

the velcro compartments on the bottom hold the FPS mode goodies

[upper halo]

I like that its more compact

[prisma hedge]

i basically just want soemthing that doesnt fill whole travel bag when i go to my hoetown for a weekend 😄

[plush acorn]

This time they included a bumper to cover the rail in fps mode

[prisma hedge]

i printed those myself ... for when my gf uses it as work tablet 😄

[plush acorn]

It's for the controller side, not the tablet

[prisma hedge]

oh that would be usefull too ... lets see if there are print designs

oh nevermind , i forgot i have the magnetic jsaux ux ones 😄

[prisma hedge]

plus i dont think i ever used fps mode 😄

[plush acorn]

I don't ususally. I am using it right now to setup windows though

[prisma hedge]

i own these .. was like dollar from ali 😄

[worthy edge]

Wut? You aren't just wiping it and loading Steam OS?

BLASPHEMY

[versed goblet]

Very happy for you @plush acorn 🥳🥳🥳

[versed goblet]

But i hate this case with a passion

Terrible terrible case.

[versed goblet]

It provides 0 protection. I have moved onto the jsuax case now

This thing is built like a tank

@plush acorn first impressions of the screen?

[prisma hedge]

and looks quite thick

[versed goblet]

About twice

[prisma hedge]

so basically like the official lego1 case

any way time to do 3rd charge cycle 😄

[versed goblet]

🙏 they do a kill switch. Id even take a 3rd party one

[plush acorn]

I mean, gotta do YT videos on windows as well. I have a 2tb set aside I'm gonna swap in and dual boot bazzite probably.

[prisma hedge]

so the first big test of the new battery (from full charge to let it die on itself):

+- 4h of Forza Horizon 3 on 50% brigness and balanced power mode

They said that, but then I think it was a lie

pretty sure I saw more recent info that sideloading is blocked

Oh?! In fairness i havent tried. I did mine via lenovo site too

@plush acorn was your unit set to 2gb by default too?

Will have to tough it out with the XAX until Lenovo gets off their dead asses and ships my Go 2.

[manic rune]

Looks exactly like my Go S case. But had to pay extra for it, of course. There are even the little Velcro pockets (which I just put a cord in ...)

[plush acorn]

Performance could be better but hdr here looks glorious.

[plush acorn]

They probably designed it with go 2 in mind, and just released standalone since it fit go s also

So glad lenovo finally added more gyro options so i can have it activate on LT pull

ugh, stupid m1/m2 still annoying handheld

I think it's actually worse than lego1 since the shape makes your hand more flush. Obviously way more comfortable but my hand is constantly clicking those side buttons

[versed goblet]

The tpu flattens these buttons and i rarely press them. But silly you need to rely on an accessory

[manic rune]

I just never bound those on the OG Go.
