Thank you! Very informative video. You're the only one who mentioned there will be different variations.

[@retrohandhelds]

You are most welcome! Glad I could help

Excited for the LGO 2! I know people are not enthusiastic about the GO S spec and the LGO 2 announcement does not help its Introduction of getting Linx into stores. I like using Windows, but I do like seeing more handhelds with Linx options for casuals to encourage Windows to be more gamer-friendly. I have no handheld device, and I am looking to see if it could be worth supporting or Steam Deck (Then again, I am a small guy who likes big screens). Who knows if it does good numbers, Lenovo offering GENUINE support to the GO S, and giving out more options (OLED and paddle versions, etc.), we can see better GO S 2 more options and Lenovo can tell AMD to make a better in-house chip for the battery and performance for the next GO S 2.

If the Gen 1 controller works on the Gen 2 I hope it's also vice-versa so I can get Gen 2 ergonomics on my Legion Go Gen 1 without upgrading to Gen 2

From what heard u can use the new legion go 2 controllers on the current legion go z1 extreme

Legion Go 2 looks very nice, but the only thing that bothers me are the back buttons on side of the right joycon grip. Seems really annoying to have those right where your hands are all the time rather than just on the very back. Personally I rarely if ever use back buttons on my Steam Deck so I hope they change the placement of those right controller buttons in the final version of the Go 2.

My Claw 8 should be arriving any week now but I already want the Go 2. Seems like everything I disliked about the OG Go has been addressed except maybe the audio, which I haven't seen much info about. The S seems like a great Deck replacer but if you already have an OLED Deck, it's probably best to wait for Valve's actual Deck 2 OLED...whenever that happens.

[@845H1R]

Please tell me more about the circular roads. I'm thinking of getting the go S because I hate the OG go dpad

Where can we watch that Lenovo's event with AMD, Valve, Xbox?

[@retrohandhelds]

Ah Lenovo should have a stream, ill see if I can find it!

[@SteamFlow]

I need to know the story of how all of you KZbinrs ended up in the same AirBnB? Did you all set this up or did Lenovo set this up?

[@retrohandhelds]

Ahh maybe next year! We weren't sponsored for this trip. Just shared an Air BnB 🫡😆

[@hiimsloppy]

goddamn he said the name of our state correctly, GJ, you're my favorite dude in that same ass Air BNB thats visiting now. lmfao

[@retrohandhelds]

😂😂

[@rkpoole49]

Amazing :) I wish the steam os version used an oled panel

[@retrohandhelds]

That would be awesome!

[@jhavontrott3945]

Just gonna wait for that Legion go 2. This feels a little rush I think Lenovo is trying to hold on their corner of the market.

[@creaturecore13]

Outside of a 8 inch screen this provides nothing over what we already have. You get a worse apu, smaller battery, and less ram then the ally x. Was hoping for at least something that completes with the ally x. Steam OS is nice, but bazzite has made it so its not actually a selling point.

[@madboyokc]

I agree! I actually really like the screen & build of this, but I can’t justify trading out my Ally X to grab this at the same price with a LESS powerful cpu

[@SDes-o4p]

Rog ally x goodbye

[@هيابنانصليالفجرمعا]

@@SDes-o4p shure goodbuy

[@Mbuna92]

Are you guys sponsored by Lenovo?

[@retrohandhelds]

No, they just invited us to check out the new Go. Not sure if we'll get a review unit, but i'm pre-ordering most likely.

[@Mbuna92]

@@retrohandheldsfair play, looking forward to seeing a size/weight comparison with the steamdeck, im waiting for a device to replace my steamdeck which is more portable

[@LuisPerez-5]

"Powerful"
