First Look at Lenovo Legion Handheld - eviltoast
Exclusive Images: This is the Lenovo Legion Go Gaming Handheld
windowsreport.com
Lenovo is working on a new handheld gaming console to go up against Steam Deck and Rog Ally, and we've got exclusive images with it!

Interesting. Similar to the ONEXPLAYER 2 and 2 Pro, with the 8inch screen and detachable controllers. So many buttons! I wonder if the detachable controllers works as is or if you need a controller dock like the OXP2.

    You get used to it though. You can also set your launcher of choice to run on startup or use something like playnite and use which ever store is cheapest for any given game.

      There is no amount of money you could pay me to get used to Windows Updates.

        Windows has been a pretty garbage os for years. Linux is so much better in many ways. The only thing windows has is a few applications that have yet to release a Linux version.

        If we could get office, Adobe, and autocad on Linux, we could see droves of people switch.

        Gaming is basically all set on Linux at this point. Just a few games that have not setup to work due to anti-cheat, but screw it. I don’t need them.

          A lot of VR stuff just doesn’t work either. Also a good bit of streaming services seem to have troubles.

            I’ve only encountered problems with Peacock, but it’s not officially offered where I live, so I have been OK with Netflix and Disney Plus.

            I have never tried VR. I have issues with balance as it is and I am pretty sure VR would trigger balance problems, but thanks for pointing it out. For those who are interested.

          Adobe would be huge, but what would be even bigger is if it came pre-installed on a computer you buy at Walmart or Best Buy. Otherwise, no one’s going to want to switch from what they’re using unless the thing they’re using bothers them. As annoying as I find Windows Updates to be, most people don’t seem to notice.

            That’s a great point. I wonder if people would buy it and use it without really noticing or if they would be upset because it’s not windows or whatever.

              There will be different amounts of friction depending on the customer and what they expect. If all they need is Chrome and like one or two other Electron apps, as long as they’re walked through the software center on first boot, quickly. But there will be friction when one odd customer here or there expects program X and it’s not available, even if there’s a very viable alternative. They’d have to educate their customers through marketing like Apple does to ease that transition, and Apple still only has a single digit percentage of the PC market.

      You get used to having a long drive to work as well. But who wants to get used to that if you don’t have to. Same reasoning applies here. SteamOS is so, so good. Why would I want to switch to something with performance leaks? To play competitive FPS games on my handheld? That’s not why I have one (plus I could get windows on an external sd if I really wanted to).

      I’m close to making a full on swap from windows to Linux. I just need to research in home game streaming first since I often sit on my laptop downstairs playing a game that runs on my gaming pc through Parsec.
