Going to clarify something on the chance that it wasn't clear. My unit charges at a sustained 3W without games running. It will occasionally shoot up to a normal charging speed, but it will sustain at 3W. Again, this is with nothing running.
I'll keep this updated with any other points.
RE3 not RE2. 🔫
I heard this is just to help the battery health and it was advertised as that. There may be a setting to turn it off.( and the games withdraw more power resulting in less charging power .) correct me if I’m r
Wrong
In the video, you have displayed the charge rate at well above 3W without a game running. It's only when the game IS running that it drops to around 3 and as everyone else has pointed out, that's as intended to help reduce battery degradation.
Seems like you have been corrected on this but can't come to terms with that so you're just lying in your comment here... Or am I missing something?
I believe they said that it will not charge the battery while plugged in and on. That the unit has to be off to charge, which i agree is dumb.
Try disconnecting the battery manually. Then plugging it back in and starting it. I doubt it has any other form of RTC battery. That may flush out those electric demons. If you do let me know if the SSD is easy to get to. I'll be swapping mine Tuesday.
Same issue here. It also didn’t charge at all when powered off.
It has bypass charging, to prevent degradation of the battery. That way you can game connected to power without putting unnecessary stress on the battery
It does, but its dumb. Its a handheld. You want to only be plugged in while gaming for a short while and unplug and go back to playing without a plug. You cant do that if it wont charge while the device is on. Then again, this is basically a bad laptop being it isnt portable in anyway.
@@creaturecore13it isn't portable in any way?
@@creaturecore13Huh? What do you mean it isn't portable?
@@Sanchase I mean its portability is trash. It is more inconvenient to carry the go in a backpack with its case then a laptop. A laptop fits perfectly in a laptop compartment taking up no room. The go in its case will take up 25% of your backpacks main compartment.
@@creaturecore13depends on the laptop and bag, for me it would be more portable because I use a school backpack when I go somewhere to stay for a day or a few, when I take my gaming laptop with me to my stepdad and moms house I can barely fit a change of clothes with it because the laptop is very large and the charger is big I also take a white Xbox one S controller a braided 10 foot type A to micro B cable and a over ear headset plus my phone and watch chargers which I take with me every time I go out there, now that it's almost winter in Wisconsin the sun sets earlier so I take a 4 slot battery charger and the light for my bicycle with me too, I have a dell venue 11 pro and a latitude E6510 which have better portability but I don't take those if I am going to be playing Forza motorsport 8 or Forza horizon 5 on Xbox cloud gaming because they are very laggy from having too low a thermal limit on the venue 11 and no graphics drivers on the latitude E6510.
I don't know if you'll see this, but the charging is meant to be that way... The Lenovo Legion Go also has support for Super Rapid Charge2, allowing the battery to recharge up to 70% in just half an hour. When gaming while plugged in, The Lenovo Legion Go includes a power bypass mode that protects the battery from extra degradation while also eliminating heat normally produced while charging.
FACTS! I was gonna put that and read yours. Dude, this thing charges WAY faster than the ally and steam deck. I literally got rid of my Ally the other day. The legion go is a BEAST. playing armored core on it and it is savage on this screen.
Exactly. Its also great to have those options depending what you're doing and also try to keep the life of the battery longer. I noticed the pixel 8 pro has this same option. Takes like 8 hours to fully charge it when in adaptive mode.
It charges at 3W while idling and no apps open.
@@TakiUdonlmfao ❤ Taki
@@TakiUdon Show us proof of this because in your video, whilst idling, it's at 30-40 watts. Never 3.
When you plug in the charger and are playing the legion go, you're using the straight power going into the device and not charging as you play. This is apparently intentional to not wear out the battery. There's a separation.
IDK if I explained that right...
Versus it sitting idle charging at full speed, I get it lol
I believe its called Bypass Chraging
Charge separation is a thing, but it should not charge at 3W when the device is at idle. That's super crap.
so overall when not in use how long does it take to fully chargE?@@TakiUdon
On turning the controllers on, I learned this recently. If they die or sleep while disconnected from the device, you need to hold the Lenovo button on either controller for an uncomfortably long time. It will turn on.
The charging was kind of random for me as I have one of the USB cables that has a display on it. I think when you go into a game, it goes into like a maintain mode to control heat. So that way when you're playing you're not losing any battery but you're also not really gaining any. This should be fixable with like a bios update or something
He was like.. I had to pay for this unit so now im gonna be honest about it LOL.
the only reviewer lol
Huh. He's been always honest
Tech reviews in a nutshell. UA-cam reviews is nothing but a marketing channel for brands. Source:I am in Marketing since 1994.
Always honest, but now I don't have to lose sleep about being honest.
@@X862goTime to open your eyes then, there are more than enough tech journalists out there.
Agree with you about bigger companies entering the space. You would think that with their years of experience in making computing devices that they would nail the UX at least.
Your first look is way better than most in-depth reviews. Very impressed. You mention the portable Lenovo keyboard, please do a review of that one as well.
This device will very likely recieve a SteamOS port from the community, including proper wiring up of the HW buttons, TDP- and fancontrol.
I'd love to see how this thing handles one of the SteamOS forks and how it reacts to those controls and extra buttons.
Best review in this thing so far. Thank you. Looking forward to the full review. Hopefully Lenovo is watching.
I have a Deck but, out of all the NEW devices, I like this one the most, so tempting.
Same. I don't like windows but the screen on this device makes the deck look bad 😅
Get it bros, it's nice.
I went from my deck to this, already took it back. Don’t bother man it’s not good enough.
@@BahhBahhBrownSheep okay, that’s all I had to hear. I’ll wait till Valve makes a SteamDeck 2 or something comes out that is worth it.
@@QwahcheesOn the other hand, the screen is so reflective that playing outside might be a nightmare.
I was looking forward to legion space, but it seems to have allot of drawbacks. I hope it greatly improves in the coming months.
I fortunately seem to not have the charging issue on my unit. It definitely charges slow but not nearly as slow as your unit.
As for the TDP's they definitely need work. I agree.
But apparently you're supposed to set it on OS Efficiency and Thermal Power Performance and that just performs the best in every single scenario at the moment. Those are really well tuned.
Then ofc I share all the same grievances with the Software and Windows but otherwise I am very pleased with the unit and love it overall.
Hey Taki there should be an update soon for remapping the face buttons to swap the top two to start and select, theres a beta version with this feature and deadzones. Possibily worth another look once the new legion space and gpu drivers come out.
How does capping fps work? Can you change the refresh rate to 40hz? 50?
Sry, now I saw entire video. Yhanks for it and good job
I don't think that you can honestly consider your reinstall of the OS and software as "stock software". I have a deep suspicion that there are software tweaks that Lenovo ships with that you couldn't do because you didn't know about them.
I agree. It would be better to review with the stock setup first..
I hear they increase performance by 3000% and the fan never needs to run. Also the speakers magically become better.
It's pretty insane what software can do
Sounds like a Lenovo issue then. They should've made it easier to re-image. This isn't the Windows XP days anymore.
@@roflBeckit is but at the same time this is the launch version of a brand new product line entirely. It's difficult to prepare for every outcome for every type of user for a new type of product day one.
and this would be a Lenovo issue. not a Taki Udon issue.
if you have the NEED to "tweak" software , then maybe have a full reimage instead. this is a PC that does PC things not some closed Console
Great review, thanks! Out of curiosity, what is that wallpaper at 22:20? Couldn't find it on wallpaper engine. Thanks! :)
18w tdp was the sweetspot when it came to the Win 4, at least for me. I feel 15w is lacking just that slight bit to make alot feel too chorish to play but those extra 3w really improved a good amount with the 6800u chip
I like to run my Win Max 2 7840U at 28w, runs most games really well at 1600x1000. If it weren't such a monster for cooling and didn't have a giant battery, I feel like 800p 18w would be the sweet spot. Win 4 or Win Mini at 18w sound amazing.
@@nickstarlingch Played nearly anything I threw at it with very acceptable settings for 18w tdp. Good 2.5-4hrs of battery for gaming this way as well.
So if i plan to use this exclusivelt at 900p does it look bad on that panel???
Is it possible that some of the issues you faced might be related to the model being a China market one?
Or maybe a unit issue only.
Since haven't seen anyone complain about Crashes or Battery Charge issue yet.
Crashes are frequent due to the terrible software. I haven’t had battery issues yet smh. Hoping handheld companion supports it soon.
@@CoupeLouver Do you mean the Legion custom software is causing crashes?
I've since seen people talking about charging issues, but they temporarily solve it by doing things that don't work for me.
What power bank were you using when you charged it via usb-c? My battery packs are not working to charge it (so I'd like to know which one worked for you)
VRR would've been soooo good on this device.
I hope we get the ability to cap the frame rate at 40 48 72
It's 144hz, just use vsync
Every single review video has this comment... This device doesn't need VRR!
I don't think you understand what VRR is, because if you did you'd realise there is absolutely no need for it on this device.
@@Sanchase It does when you're playing at 100fps. Or 50. Or 70. Or anything between 38 and 144.
VRR has nothing to do with allowing smoother high FPS gaming. It makes lower FPS gaming smooth and eliminates tearing which shows up at anything but native refresh rates.
120hz might be fast enough to not notice tearing, but this is a handheld. It'll be doing 60 on the go to save battery life. And when you're deliberately saving the battery by playing at lower framerates, you need VRR to eliminate the tearing and to improve input lag.
The official charger on mine works great so that's weird but my dead zones are crazy. When looking at the joy sticks on website controller testers they seem amazing but in game the bottom third of movement doesn't register. Think about returning and just getting a gaming laptop that has an rtx card in it honestly.
I’m really curious how it would perform with SteamOS and whether the detachable ‘joycons’ would stop work. This would be my use case for buying it, while my Deck is in RMA for repairs.
Honestly, using SteamOS over just a plain install of arch would be a bad idea as it would be like installing Android on an iPhone, sure it'll work but it's gonna have a lot of compatibility issues. Mainly button mapping, driver support and a few other things. Performance isn't magically going to improve under Linux either, you may have better battery usage but when a device like this is designed for windows it's best to just use it on windows. Coming from a Linux user btw.
I've seen a video of a guy trying ChimeraOS on it and I was impressed, it wasn't bad but it wasn't perfect either, the attacheable controllers worked but the extra buttons didn't and clicking didn't work as well, he also tried BazziteOS in another video and same results. You can give it a try but don't expect it to be flawless
Nice Review, do you have the possibility to test it with an egpu?
Can you make a video going through the system wipe, windows and drivers installation and all that? I want to do this as well with mine but not sure how.
Hey Taki, i'm a steamdeck owner and i still have a pretty decen't gaming pc (rtx 2070). These days i've noticed i play more on my steamdeck compared to my pc, but i'd like slightly better performance for some bigger titles like Armored Core 6 and Elden ring, and some of the games i play don't even support linux/steamOS.
Would you recommend upgrading my steamdeck to a ROG Ally or Legion go? My biggest fear is that they will be outdated pretty fast since there will be less software support or hardware optimisation
What is the name/brand of that yellow USB-C cable you're using? Looks great
Something else mine showed with, that was a problem. I set it to my time zone/region, it even showed it on the map properly; however, it was 14 hours ahead. I didn't see this until the second day...couldn't believe I missed that. Turned it to manual setting and then turned auto back on and it reset. So keep an eye out for that. A friend of mine had the same thing happen. Not a big deal, but the first time I have had that happen since Windows Me.
How's the image quality for you if you drop it to 1280x800 and turn up refresh and image features?
What's the Lenovo keyboard that you mention is good and recommend to use with this device?
I would reccomend a USB C cable w/ a built in wattage display to monitor charge behaviour, that will show you instantly how much power goes into the device and if it changes when you open software
Got one, LOVE IT!!! 2tb drive be here Tuesday! Also have a GPD G1 on the way. I travel a lot for work so it will be a great gaming rig for me. Love the Steam Deck, but this is just a Ferrari that you gotta drive.
Hey man what about G1? I ordered Legion Go and next update will be the addition of G1. Can G1 perform great with most of AAA games? Thanks!
@@oz85 hasn't come in yet. When it does I'm sure everything will play great 1440p and higher on certain games.
@@oz85it will perform better on 1080p-1440p but dont compare to gpd g1 connect with ocilink ports or ally with xg mobile bcs thunderbolt3/4 only had 40gbps bandwith not like oculink or xg 63gbpbs bandwith
But for sure it will perform good
After windows boots up are you getting the sound of something is being connected or disconnected from a usb port. For some reason I always gets those sounds right before I enter my pass code.
Currently 1-2 month later no charging issue, no crash, only problem now is custom TDP control still doesn't work... Still play some HDR and low res/pixel art games on Deck OLED but this is now my main emu and streaming machine.
Love this! What game are you playing at 17.40? Looks very like stardew?!
I haven't had the issues with crashing or charging. I'm not sure what is going on there. Mine charges quite fast. I haven't put it to zero, but from around 30% or so it charges up in like an hour. I'd be curious if anyone else is having this issue. I haven't heard that one yet.
Edit: the custom TDP mode works on mine also. I have had the controllers sleep on me disconnected a couple of times and have not found an easy way to wake them back up yet either.
Try holding down the Legion button for 7 seconds, that's what the guide thing says.
@@lartrak ok, thank you. I will def try that next time. Where did you find the guide? Is this the built in one or did you download one from Lenovo?
@@leepurdy9069 It was in a PDF guide on Lenovo's site, but I don't have a direct link unfortunately.
@@lartrak thank you! That's all I needed to know. I just needed to know where to go look. Thanks again. 🙂
Taki. You gonna review the Playstation portal next week?
But will this portrait mode affect old games?, say GOG DOSBOX to Windows XP. On keyboard you can probably force a screen-flip with Ctrl+Alt+Direction Arrows.
I am thinking of getting a windows hanheild but the market seems so hard to choose right now(btw can you review the RP2S?
I actually timed mine charging from 54% to 100% and it took 18 minutes. I think you may have a defective unit. I also retested custom TDP and that also worked perfectly. I am wondering whatever is causing these issues for you are also causing the crashes you are having. I already posted about this, but wanted to go and do an actual timed test and make a separate post. I'm sorry you are having these issues. I've had a much smoother experience. I have had the controllers sleep on me twice. I will say that was after not using them for quite sometime, but it dies suck that I have to reconnect to wake them up. I am wondering if I am just missing something. If not, this should be any easy fix with an update.
Thanks review
issues i've seen with mine was when it goes to sleep it wakes but its just a dark screen, the panel is on but the screen is just dark. I either have to shut it off or keep pressing the power bottom on and off until it turn back to the screen the real screen.
I just watched your Rog Ally review and was hoping you would review this. Especially since you loved the Ally so much. Can you do a comparison with the Ally?
I will do this
Thanks. And if you remember, can you give a little input on how it is to use as a tablet for web browsing and stuff? I imagine the Legion would be better for that because of the larger screen but I'd love your input. @@TakiUdon
My biggest issue so far is the controllers disconnecting and not reconnecting unless i reattach them and the touch pad not working at all when removed from the device. It only works when its connected for me. I also wish the screen and rgb lights could get get a bit dimmer
Xbox game pass wouldn't detect my controllers last night until I detached and reattached.
Anyone else having problems using powerbanks on the GO? I tried 15 different Powerbanks and the GO charges them instrad of drawing power from the powerbanks. I think it's software related to the controllers how it uses it's own internal battery to charge the joycon controllers.
It's a feature to bypass the battery why plugged inuse, to save the battery long term from desktop mode
Which portable keyboard are you referring to? The portable ones i can find arent good at all
Could some company or Lenovo come out with accessory / alternate controllers?
No oculink port is a big issue for me :/ can't wait for 7840u version of win4 to be available again.
There is a bios setting to set how fast to charge under heavy load and the default is slow.
this is the portable pc GOLDEN ERA!
My brother. Do a bios update. Then open bios menu (shut down fully, then turn on while repeatedly clicking on the volume up) and it will open the bios update menu. Go to configuration and then from the list you will find charging speed, change from slow to medium.
Thank You for honest opinion regarding your experience with the device.
Many people in the comments really gunning for you for not being exclusively positive about this thing. I'm glad you're always honest and critical, then I know what I'm buying into.
what is the game being played during the fan noise segment?
Black hole wallpaper was dope. Where I can get it?
Have mine for about 48 hours. No crashes and no issues with battery so far. The only issue I have is the Lenovo software. Laggy or doesn’t work at all. One other thing I would like coming from steam deck is to have a custom refresh rate. Some games would work great locked at 50 but I can’t choose. If you can, let me know! It’s also a fantastic emulator with running ps3 games almost perfectly.
Wich one would you recommend? Lenovo go or ally?
@@aliceweiss6711 The Go without a shadow of a doubt. Any software quirks like the laggy Lenovo software can be ignored for the time being in favour of ALL the benefits the Go has over the Ally.
Lenovo will fix the issue with the software quite easily and probably quite soon although I am speculating the timeframe.
@@aliceweiss6711it's worth noting that the ally is at a much lower price point for worse but still really good hardware.
Dude. My emulators aren’t working on this
I’m using emu deck for windows and it just opens my emulators in windowed with no sound or not at all :( did you have any issues?
@@aliceweiss6711legion go is a bit better because of the big screen and detachable controller but the speaker on rog is miles better and vrr for smooth gameplay, it just depends on your preference
Man, I am just torn between getting this or the Ally. I think the Go's bigger screen, 800p interger scaling, trackpad, apparently better performance, FPS mode and detachable controllers are super cool... but Ally is more portable, has better speakers, quieter fans, VRR, more mature software and a landscape screen (I heard the Go's portrait display is problematic for older games, which I plan on playing a lot). I've heard mixed things about ergonomics, build quality, controls and battery though. I think I might be leaning towards the Ally, especially since I can find it second hand for about 3/4 of the price of a new Go. Any suggestions?
The Ally lost me by not having 4 back buttons. This one has them and also a trackpad as well. This one pretty much has everything you need.
I was on same boat decided to go with Ally just because its landscape native so i wont have issues when playing older games
The Ally is amazing had it since launch. Such an amazing device honestly thought at launch I made a mistake. But man it come down the home stretch fast and strong since July it's been a joy to have between the screen and speakers it's amazing nothing beating it still in my opinion! As for battery they all suck . There's electricity everywhere or get a power bank !
My biggest problem with Ally is the overpriced docking with only outdated USB 2.0 and only has one USB-C on console.
Legion Go can use PSU and use a any USB 3 HUB at the same time out of the box.
Legion also use Hall Effect sticks, so they will never drift. Many had drift problems on Asus Rog Ally.
Ally has SD card malfunction so by default its not worth
What's the DBZ and FPs games shown here?
i feel like those home buttons should be where the start and select buttons are... considering all controllers tend to have start and select right where those system home buttons are
What was that TotK background? It looks awesome
Could the charging thing me thermal? Maybe to not generate excess heat?
Waiting for it to get here got mine from Amazon it's in Chinese but I hope I can change the language back to English through out the whole thing bc that would be aggravating I bought the 2tb version. But can't wait for it to get here I hope it plays call of duty good and yes best review IV seen and Iv been looking at reviews since October. Great video!
According to the manual, pressing the Legion buttons for 7 seconds to turn on/off the controllers. Meanwhile, I wonder any games can show off the hidden features of those controllers with DirectInput protocol.
What game were you playing with the 2 pistols? Looks cool, I want to buy it.
Turbo Overkill
Omg i was thinking about returning mines cause the charging speed was bad thinking i had bad unit and nobody was talking about it. You the only reviewer to mention it so now i know its not just me...
I wonder if there is a way we can mod the Switch Joycons to play FPS games this way.
Are you doing a review of the Oddin 2? Hopefully that's next.
So what would you recommend more, roh ally or Go. Fan noise doesn't bother me much as I would always use earbuds if im in any public setting.
If fan noise doesn't matter to you, this one is probably more versatile once the bugs are squashed.
What cable are you using in the top of it?
Legion Space needs sooo much work! I’m using it asking “who was in charge of this software” The Quick settings ISNT EVEN QUICK!
Solid Review
How did you get that kind of fps display on the left side of your screen? Mine doesn’t look like that and doesn’t show the TDP. Is it through legion space?
Rivatuner has this feature
@@TakiUdon any chance you could share the link to which you downloaded?
@@TakiUdon I downloaded Rivatuner and a bunch of other stuff like msi but for the life of me I can’t get any overlays in my game. Any chance you could direct me in the right direction? Your overlay is exactly what I’m looking for
What tool do you use to see the TDP?
Lenovo is very smart and there cooking with this.
How did you get that black hole wallpaper??
Hi taki whats the name of that wallpaper you use in 22:40 I love it, please share how can I get it?
You can find it with the wallpaper engine.
What's the game name at 12:32? Didn't see it in the video please and thanks! nvm i found it near end of the video
where can i buy a usb cable like yours ?
I have from Yesterday and i have just a issue with amd software with incompatible drivers and i solve with a video on UA-cam, but for now is all really good
So the asus rog ally and this have similar specs. Whats a better purchase? Im for sure buying one tonight just dont know which is better :'(
If you live near a Best Buy where you can try it out, go with that. They perform the same.
@@TakiUdon okay I will try. Thanks for responding. Starfield is the game I'm trying to get running on these handhelds.
what is that background blackhole animation. can i get a link?
What’s the last game you were playing?
I’m curious, what is the best display on a handheld device in your opinion?
Switch Oled :)
... also XReal Air glasses and the like can be a very good addition.
@@digglerdiggler thanks, I was wondering best screen on a handheld that is windows device? 🙂
what is the first game you were playing?
I recently purchased the legion go, has anyone tested playing games with a Xbox controller or any other controller cause I can't get no game to play with my Xbox controller
I have Lenovo Legion Go 1tb, and a Steam Deck OLED 516gb, they both are good imo. I love the "easiness" of the steam deck, you just turn it on, and install games and you're set, the screen is amazing. the legion go is a little more complicated to set up but its that bad at all, just a few extra steps to bet set up. I've noticed I've been playing a lot on the legion go more then the steam deck, the only complain i have is battery life on the legion go, i get like an hour of battery until i have to plug it in, I've played a lot of newer games and at higher resolution, expect one game I have to play on low resolution (MK1) i love both my handhelds lol
Are you not doing an Odin 2 video?
TURBO OVERKILL YESSS YESSSSSS
What software are you using to monitor cpu temperature? For some reason when I install msi afterburner it acts like there is no sensor to monitor it. The only cpu temp indicator I get is from the integrated legion space hud but I think the cpu temp monitor is broken because it never fluctuates. It gets stuck on one temp, it only ticks up in weird intervals of 53c, 60c, 68c, and it'll stay stuck reading a high temp even after I'm done gaming and it goes back to idle in desktop.
Rivatuner has an overlay feature that you can enable to make your own overlay like I have. It pulls data from MSI and HWinfo.
@@TakiUdon ah, so HWinfo can detect the cpu temp? When I looked around in the MSI monitoring settings, it only offered cpu usage as an option.
Oh, one little warning about this device. I almost cooked mine using the little charge slot they have on the case. I'd put the device in sleep, closed the case and plugged it in to charge, I came back 40 min later and the case was warm and I opened it to find it was idling on desktop with the screen on the whole time and the whole device was hot to the touch.
I'm never charging it in the case unless I do a full shutdown first. If I'd left it like that overnight I think it'd be dead. I'm worried I may have already damaged the battery.
@@TakiUdon one last thing, I figured out you can wake up the detached controllers without physically reconnecting them by holding down the legion buttons for 5-8 seconds.
What is it shown on screen at 7:10? Wallpaper?
Can't wait for a teardown. I'm curious about the strength of the controller mounts if they might break off at some point.
Looking to get a x86 handheld, not sure if a Steamdeck or this. If I go with the SD then I might be tempted to do the 32GB RAM mod, and a larger SSD.
I don't even want to think about that rail breaking. That would be a PITA.
@@TakiUdon just saw a teardown on the main unit, looks solid, no word on the controllers tho.
Also, do you like the Ayaneo Kun display better
Yeah...finally. But a bit worried with Lenovo history of consumer support.
Mine arrived with a defective top USB port and defective SD reader. I’m just returning and going to stick to my Ally.
Lenovo stated that when you're using the device and you have a charging cable plugged in it actually will not charge the battery it will actually draw power through the power cable and this is a feature to preserve battery life I think they call it pass through charging or something else I can't remember the name.
Bypass charging. But it should still charge the battery while drawing power from the charger directly. Charger 65W - Bypass 45W = 20W left to charge the battery
@@alantsai3453 during bypass charging it will not charge. It's like being plugged in without a battery.
@@racerx6384 The Go does charge, but very slow. The Ally charges the battery faster. Both devices support bypass charging. The main reason could be the Go consuming 15~20% more battery, because it has a higher resolution display and maybe some other hardware components. When both devices plugged into a 65W charger, the Go charges @3~4W (new BIOS) whereas the Ally charges @13~14W (BIOS 331) under 30W TDP, according to reviewers from Bilibili.
2 questions: 1. what about the glasses?? did you bought it or tested??? 2. I bought a steam deck recently(pretty happy with that) because I think the software is a lot better that windows handhelds, but, could this lenovo run better with steam os???
I didn't buy the glasses and I didn't see them for sale when I got this. Once this is supported by ChimeraOS, it would give you almost the same experience that you can get on a Steam Deck.
@@TakiUdon and what is your expierence with chimera os???
