No TouchPad so I’ll pass, but a non Windows version is a step in the right direction.
The little square below the joystick is a touchpad apparently. I think it wouldbe cooler though if they just used the nipple from their laptops. It would be smaller and IMO more usable than such a small touchpad.
I thought it was a fingerprint reader at first glance! I agree that usability could be an issue at that size. Do you think the trackpoint would be much better than a joystick?
I dont think itd be much better but it has a small footprint and is more usable at that size than a trackpad. I think those are good qualities to have for a small portable device like this. I like my steam deck but I dont personally use the trackpads often and almost never the one on the left so one small nipple would be amazing for me. I used it a lot on my old lenovos.
No Thanks. This is using the new Z2 Go chip. That is the lowest tier of all the new AMD chips. It’s for some reason built on the old Zen 3 architecture, and is even slower than the vanilla Z1 (non-extreme) from 2 years ago. And it’s using the outdated RDNA2, graphics cores.
This is probably good for best compatibility with SteamOS (close to Steamdeck hardware) but it’s not good compared to today’s most efficient or most powerful chips.
A pricier version of the windows one launches now, and the SteamOS one launches in 4 months.
I get why that’s the case but it’s still dumb
Lenovo will never get my money after they were caught installing rootkits on their computers. Fuck 'em, I don’t care how cheap they get.
Honestly, now it’s a toss-up between getting a Legion Go or a Steam Deck…As I prefer the control scheme Lenovo is rocking. I never really liked the massive touchpads. However, that could easily be resolved by using the Steam Deck in Docked Mode on my 4K TV. Getting cozy on the couch with a good game or on the go is pretty appealing. It makes me happy that another manufacturer is hesitantly embracing Steam OS, as it if this does go well, we’ll see more devices with Steam OS.
It got rid of the touchpad the Legion has ffsIt’s still there. That tiny little square under the right stick is that
Man I am an idiot, I thought that was a fingerprint sensor. Thanks for the correction.
You’re all good. A lot of people thought so too. Really odd design choice, but it’s better than nothing, I suppose
I wonder how much they’re saving not having to ship Win with it.
About $50, though it depends on the edition.
Well, that’s still $50 that’s not passed to the consumer. Not much, but it’s a week’s groceries.
