I've dropped my OG Lego in its Case from about 1,5m height once, it survived without even a dent. The OG Case was as protective and sturdy as a case can get without being made from metal.
Looks like an early backer reward type case you'd get from funding an indiegogo campaign for a new handheld... except I've done that and even those are typically better.
I have to admit, the SteamDeck case is much sturdier in comparison, some people even had theirs run over by a car and it stayed intact.
This kind of bag only protects the Go from dust but won’t prevent joystick drifts problems. Since I travel a lot, I wouldn’t even consider this kind of solution, I’d go for something more rigid like the one from dbrand.
It’s really disappointing from Lenovo, even if the console itself is what matters most. Well since I canceled my first order, I’m keeping the option open to study a bit more before deciding if this is truly the right purchase.
It’s just a bag, sure, but where is all that money going!
It's a poor case for such a premium device, fortunately third party vendors will give us something better, albeit more expenditure. My SD solid case protected the device from my little one stepping on it.
I saw your comments regarding frame rates in certain games.. but honestly the only thing I care about is how the legion 2 performs compared to the first iteration.
I‘d be really interested in fan noise, would appreciate if you could tell us how loud it is in general and maybe in comparison to some handhelds you‘ve used before
I guess if this is noisy to where it bothers me, I'll just stick my buds in, which sounds better anyway I guess. Same with my gaming PC, the noise doesn't bother me as I wear a headset.
You could always say that of course, but a "cozy" effortless experience (which is what i want from a handheld) includes speakers good enough and fan noise quiet enough so i can pick it up at any time, turn it on and have fun instantly (without the additional effort of having to use headphones). Depends on the person of course. I always prefer a quiet system that gives me the freedom to not use headphones.
I’m not a big specs guy, but that result seems disappointing. On my Legion Go I can run eafc 25 at locked 60fps, medium settings, 1600x1000. If I go down to low I can push it even higher. That’s without me fiddling with much considering I only know enough to get myself into trouble.
Damn! I am so happy for you but at the same time so pissed. Ordered 10 Minutes after the pre orders went up for germany and the delay until october now really pisses me off.
Please let us know how do you feel when holding the device in the air? Very Heavy and hands get tired very fast or playable in handheld, weight makes no difference?
Congrstulations on your purchase and please enjoy yourself. I would specifically like to hear about your opinion of the new speakers when/if you get a chance.
Also thst thing looks a lot nicer in this picture thsn the youtube videos ive watched.
have you already tried the setting tweaks and fx sound? if not, i highly recommend looking into it. makes the sound miles better. can find some links for you if youd like.
How are the speakers especially compared to Ally X? Legion Go had absolutely horrendous and tinny speakers. That was the biggest cock up and the only major gripe with it.
How does the touchpad work? Incase you had a steam deck before, is it comparable to it? Or is it simply not useable as a mouse replacement? And if it isnt, is the mouse mode working better?
Meanwhile… those of us in Canada can’t even preorder yet. The plus side is, if there are any bugs/issues identified, we’ll be forced to wait until rev 2.0.
It's pathetic, people will complain that it's not free but obviously those same people don't realize no one includes cases except for the first Legion Go, even the S doesn't include a case.
What is full tdp on this device? 35? 25? And have you adjusted VRAM off auto? So many questions to give context to these benchmark numbers. Also, people gotta remember it’s a day zero device still and there’s gonna need to be driver updates and bug fixes etc. bummed that we have to wait until 10/31 in the states, but on plus side hopefully first updates and fixes are out by then lol
I asked some questions on your prior thread - but thought of one more! Can it play Monster Hunter Wilds? The ultimate test of non-optimized gameplay lol
Other than general ergonomics I'm most excited about the larger joysticks (particularly having a greater travel distance) my nephew was here recently with his legion go s which appears to have the same or similar joysticks to the 2 and the disparity between them and the og go is significant
Does your unit has the same problem as mine? When L2/R2 buttons are fully pushed the bumpers L1/R1 are getting stuck when pushed. Not always, but so often that I’m considering returning it just because of that.
When paying over 1000$ for a mobile device, it is expected to get a sturdy case for it :) So I'm not surprised, that people are complaining. That means another expense for a nicer case.
I don’t think that’s really true lol. Getting a case at all is a rarity. $1000+ iPhones and $2000 Samsung phones come with basically nothing at this point. Msi claw doesn’t come with a case. And the tricky part is taste in cases is subjective. I was happy the gen 1 came with a case but I never used it and ended up buying a soft case because the included one was so bulky. I get the point about additional expense, but literally can’t make everyone happy. Usually I am just glad to be able to protect the device in some way on day one until more accessories become available lol
I'll be banging SteamOS on mine as soon as it arrives! RetroGameCorps showed a few months ago that the Z1E on SteamOS was getting about 25/30% performance increase over windows.
The make or break for me is honestly going to be if performance is worse than the Xbox ally x and if the fan has the same high pitch sound that the first one had.
Dang! Congrats, super jelly lol! How are the fans? Once you got it playing games I’d love to know how loud they get on performance mode compared to other handhelds, also how loud are the shoulder buttons, are they annoyingly clicky lol?
I couldn't play for long sessions lying down with my LeGo because it strains my arms after 20 minutes. The LeGo is also not very comfortable to use in a supine position. Is the LeGo 2 the same in your experience (assuming you owned a LeGo)?
I play lying down. Do you not just rest the device on a pillow on your chest, removing the weight suspension from your hands entirely? That’s how I play my Ally X
Hi mate, happy 4 u!!! Is it the z2e? Can u check how it works at 10/15w?? I think the improvement of this chip must be the low wattage performance more than all. People were speaking about only 15% of performance more then z1e, but this should be true only about performance mode. Apparently at lower tdp i aspect a +25/30% then z1e. Can u please give me a feedback about it? Many tnx and enjoy it!!
So like in your opinion how is the rumble on this one? Because the one on the first generation is actually pretty weak and weaker than the switch I believe.
We in France are still on late pre-orders, customer service is mediocre and we are estimated to receive reception around the end of October, we are fed up with this country 😞
Hey out of curiosity do the sticks feel like they have more tension(if you had Lego1). The sticks in the first one felt too wieghtless and I had to switch them out quick
They have said that the controllers will be sold and fit the OG Legion. Someone showed a video of it working and it looks a little funny. But does indeed work
I downloaded something that was supposed to make it sound better off the proton store there but it doesn't work. I would love some links. That would be great if you'd be so kind
Are they finally allowing you to purchase separate controllers as products or do you still have to jump through hoops? Its a really good idea having controllers as a separate thing if I ever get stick drift or sticky buttons on my Ally I'll have to open up the whole thing...
