why don't we kick off this look at the legion goto prototype with the stuff
that is the same from the original Legion go you've got the kickstand okay
you've got the detachable controllers okay the right one of which includes the
ability to use it as a sort of questionable Mouse not the most
ergonomic thing ever but hey it's there and of course you've got the gigantic
8.8 in display Mah beautiful and that's
it here's what's new look at this cooling system and it's here for a good
reason inside this thing is the allnew AMD Z2 extreme s so I'm talking 8 zen5
cores in various levels of compactness and 16 rdna 3.5 cus this thing should
absolutely blow the pants off their last
gen Flagship Z1 extreme I'm not allowed to open this one up but the battery has
gone from 49.2 hours to 74 and that's
just the inside the screen okay in one
way it's been downgraded it goes from 2560 x600 to 1920 x 1200 but hear me out
because I actually support this change even with the more powerful new hardware
you're going to struggle to run AAA games at 1600p anyway and at the
distance and at the screen size 1200p is
pretty good and I would rather have the additional contrast that you get from an
OLED screen it still runs at up to 144 HZ with variable refresh rate so your
animations will look as smooth as they possibly can and as for the other
changes I don't know it's got a round d-pad now but I don't want to get into
those little details cuz this is still a prototype and even the ports aren't
finalized there is one important thing to note though they have only announced
a Windows variant of this which is important because that is not true of
our next device which I will tell you about after this message from debrand oh
Lord debrand oh they're not trolling me oh good even though Lenovo just
announced the legion go s today dbrand has already started working on a kill
switch case for it much like the kill switch for the steam deck and Rog Ally
It's a featur protective case that features a built-in kickstand a handy
Travel cover a premium grippy texture and optional stick grips a lot of us
here at LMG actually use dbrand grips for our steam decks and for our RG
allies they are super wellb built and while the legion Go version is still in
development it is set to launch this year dbrand also has tempered glass
screen protectors that'll be ready to go in February so if you want to pick up some screen protectors or be first in
line for a kill switch head on over to dbrand.com slgo to check them out of
course you're going to want to know if this thing is worth buying a case for
and that's what we'll get into now the go is an allnew handheld from Lenovo
that has very little in common with its bigger brother it still has a bigger is
screen but instead of 8.8 in it is 8 in
now and we also get to keep the 16x 10
aspect ratio which personally I prefer
but everything else about this device seems to be designed to hit a more
affordable price point one that I'll tell you guys in a minute the screen is
1920x 1200 LCD but it still runs at 120
htz the battery is a little on the smaller side at 55 W hours though thanks
to its processor it probably won't need as large of a battery it's using the new
Z2 go from AMD which has four zen3 cores
and 12 rdna2 Graphics cores so yeah is
it a little on the lower end in terms of performance compared to the last gen Z1
extreme well maybe but it is faster than
the last gen Z1 and I think you guys are going to like the price it comes in two
flavors Lenovo Legion go s which is the Windows one and Lenovo Legion go Dash
powered by Steam OS and that one is going to be starting at
$4.99 sure you give up some stuff track pad's quite a bit smaller than its
bigger brother but it's got the stuff that matters it's got the rear buttons
oh cool it's got dual mode triggers okay
front-facing speakers and it's way lighter and truthfully I actually like
the ergonomics of this one a lot more so
I think it's going to be turning some heads if you guys want to check it out we're going to have it linked down below
but don't get one of these without also getting a dbrand kill switch we'll have
that link down below as well make sure you subscribe to ShortCircuit
