My question is why didn't AYANEO let them know this was a preproduction model with the added fixes to come with the production model in the first place? They most likely were already aware of said issues with the quickness of response time. It just leaves a bad first impression an makes LTT look silly, and having them go through this correction process. It's nice to see these updates, but probably could have been avoided in the first place.

[@Braiam]

They did let them know. The later note about the screen turning off had a note that Ayaneo told them that this was a preproduction sample was included in the first video.

Go’s the GOAT if you want to built your own eGPU or play text-heavy games. Have a 4070ti with mine. It’s like a Switch Pro 4. Go solves the problem that most PC games weren’t made for a small screen by giving you a big wonderful screen.

What shade was thrown at it ? "Although I don't know how many people are buying that one." Is that it ? Only thing I caught but on listening to it again it seems like Linus is saying it in such a way that it's a statement and not a dig at the product. He does have a point. The Steam Deck and the Ally beat it to market. While it seems like a good handheld Lenovo's name doesn't carry as much weight in the gaming space as Asus and Steam. Anybody who wanted a handheld PC probably already picked up a Deck or an Ally which leaves the question "how many people are buying the Lenovo ?"

Ergonomic, heavy is not ergonomic. So far there is two kind of PC Handheld user, those who using it in dekstop mode (because it's lighter than laptop) and those who actually using it handheld. Manufacture choose to cater towards those who actually want to play it handheld, hence smaller, lighter, and underpower was the choice. Try wielding Legion go without lap or table for support for 30 minutes and you will know it's too heavy and unergonomic, they are pushing handheld concept to the limit. At that point just get a laptop, yeah they are a bit expensive but they are more powerful than a handheld will be at current years.

The legion go is amazing by the way. I really don’t like Linus touching something once for like 5 minutes and acting like it’s not good lmao 😂…. I feel like Linus is just getting old and doesn’t know how some things work. I personally have had zero issues with the mouse control pad on mine, the home buttons for legion software is right in front of you and easy to go back and forth between home and a game and the settings software. Also the size. I hands down would prefer this 8.8” screen over literally anything out there right now. I wouldn’t want to play most PC games on anything else like how can I play baldurs gate 3 or something on a screen smaller than the Legion Go? I mean you can but it’s not as comfy and like this is a beautiful screen in a compact enough portable package. I really hope people buy these so Lenovo keeps making more and updating this one! I’ve really been enjoying mine and the only thing I would change is making the front of the controller parts less sharp and more rounded like the backs on the edges. And that’s just a minor gripe 😂 it plays all the games I’ve thrown at it thus far at like 1920x1200 or whatever

I haven't seen any of these that make me seriously question or regret my Steamdeck purchase yet, but I'm glad there is competition.

[@Argonisgema]

Same. here's hoping for more competitive hardware.

Legion Go is much better than my steam deck

[@airy_co]

don't know man, my steam deck just works, no weird ui glitchs or shenanigans

[@amunak_]

The Steam Deck effectively popularized the format; most of these companies kinda owe Valve for pushing it to the masses. What I'm sad about is that unlike Valve they all use Windows.

[@MaethorDerien]

@@amunak_ Really, the not having windows is actually probably my biggest gripe with the steam deck. There are a lot of games I would love to be able to run on the steam deck that don't use steam or just don't really run well on steam deck.

If the mobile chips can only achieve around 40-50 FPS. Are there any reasons to have a more than 60Hz display?

[@dnoodspodu1159]

00:11 Little? It is significantly bigger than a real one; like two times bigger if not more

[@xPyroxx]

Not gonna lie, with a touchscreen and some of the issues sorted out, that's a solid product. Some of the stuff like the steam deck or ally are just a bit too big in some cases. I played on a PSP for years and loved every second at a small screen size.

I still have my psp and visit every couple years, great handheld

[@MycaeWitchofHyphae]

@@ipanesmthe PSP was just perfect. I loved the hell out of it as a kid.

You'll love the GPD WIN 4 then.

[@tdata545]

I have that black screen issue on my GPD Win 4 2023 as well, must be something to do with the annoying SLIDE also having the "CLOSE LID" function tied to it, maybe. I don't know, but it takes that GPD a long time to wake up from a power off like 20 seconds and I got the highest spec option; 64GB of RAM (SINCE I CAN'T MANAGE TABS FOR CRAP!!!) and 4TB. So, it's not that issue and it also has the same processor as this.
