Has the battery life improved since launch? The last time i used one it was drawing nearly 8 watts average while idle; which is insane for such a small device. For reference a 15.6" samsung galaxy book 2 pro with an oled display and an intel 12th gen cpu sips 4 watts average at idle.
After windows boots up mines makes a sound like something is being plugged in or removed from a usb port. Its sort of like multiple tones, is that normal?

Holy hell, I thought this would be a video showing everything I already knew, but I found about 8 things I had no idea of. Subbed for the great info :)
excellent video, updating of drivers and bios are very well explained unlike in other videos. could you also make same for rog ally, it's currently projected so complicated to download and how to graphics and bios part. Most people get so confused and they don't update or dont buy the device itself.

hi i need help i just bought the legion go but in some games such as borderlands 2 im having like a Chaos in inputs if i press any thing like i pressed another button or the stick function differently

This might sound like a stupid question but do I have to already own a pc running windows 11 in order to be able to set up this handheld, or is this completely independent and does not require previous ownership of a windows 11 pc?

Hi I’m trying to download the drivers manual and when I try to open the file it says the app you’re trying to install isn’t a Microsoft verified app 🤷♂️
Oh yeah I’ve run into that before, hang on I’ll post you a guide to fix that, it’s some security setting that makes you only able to download apps from Microsoft store
I’m disappointed there’s no quick screenshot while playing a game. Don’t understand how to bring Xbox Bar up like on PC. And my Xbox controller has a snapshot button. 😢
Im sorry but the tdp remark is very misleading. Power saving mode does not increase game performance. Higher tdp is almost always going to result in more performance up to the max of 30 watts. Os power mode however should be kept on efficiency for most gaming scenarios.
I just bought Legion go this week. Any tips to make this run smooth? I have come from a console and need to get use to it otherwise I will be selling it.

Is there a way to disable the L legion button launching/switching to legion space but still retain the shortcut key on the R legion button? I want to primarily use steam big picture mode however I like the integrated shortcut menu.
Don’t forget to tell people if they dont want the keyboard to pop up when pressing the L stick to go to steam and controller template and pick gamepad I had issue while playing a game and clicking it would bring the keyboard
legion go should come out with a protection for the controller when they are detach kind like switch where you can slide something to cover. Hopefully someone comes out with it
hey i got the legion go. some games for epic games i cant play. the right joy con is being a mouse. it is like this outside of games at well. its on at all times , yes fps is off. cant find any info on this. is there a way to stop the joy con from being a mouse while its connected? i dont care if its a mouse not connected and fps is on. the issue is its connected and being a mouse. even fi u disable the mouse pad this dosent affect the joy con in anyway. what do i do to turn this off?
Hi there, I'm having this weird issue where the Go somehow syncs with my PC. I signed in using my Microsoft account when setting up the Go but explicitly stated that this is a new "PC".
