    Not to be an Echo Chamber, but the three largest items that I think most of us want addressed are:

    1. Does this panel have Variable Refresh Rate/VRR ? It was in the "leaked" trailer, but removed in the official trailer from Lenovo, indicating that it may have been a mistake and is not included.

    2. Is the display natively a portrait display? Many assume this panel is the same as used in the Lenovo Y700 2023 as the specs seem to line up.

    3. What exactly is the maximum TDP? It is being marketed as 20w TDP on the Lenovo website, which is very low for the Z1E. In a video review, it showed within the Lenovo software you could set a custom TDP up to 48w. The ROG Ally allows a "manual" TDP much higher when plugged in, for example. Is it the same case here? If so, what can you go up to in "Handheld" mode, and what can you go up to in "docked" mode?

    It sounds like a very exciting product 🤔

    What are some of the games that are compatible with the Lenovo Legion Go?

    What are the benefits of using a Windows device for handheld gaming?

    One other question - are there any planned accessories besides the glasses? Would love some sort of bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo that doubles as a cover/case. I am planning to find one that will work for it, because the built-in kickstand begs this device to replace my Surface Go.

    Why did Lenovo post the original specs as the Legion Go having VRR and now it’s been omitted.

    does the Go have VRR or not? will VRR be on the final product? Please elaborate as this is a question that has left a lot of us very concerned.

    Why no 32GB option? I think this is disappointing for some who are really considering buying this device. I know if this was an option I would get it certainly.

    @SergeyBalashov thanks for answering on the other refresh rates. i am very interested in other refresh rates besides 144/60. As pointed out I would like to see vsync in ranges that are reasonable for demanding AAA and lighter weight first person shooters so we can have other refresh rates without tearing.

    I also would like to support the Lenovo legion go with my software for handhelds, which would include refresh rate switching.

    couple questions:
    1. Is there a Lenovo made eGPU planned for this device?
    2. Is the trackpad only for mouse input? I would like to see it used for first person shooter aiming also, since it’s on the right controller. Something where the trackpad input overlaps the right stick input and gets reported on the xinput HID packet. If not, I think I could do this with software but it won’t be elegant.
    3. You mentioned before the controllers use a micro controller 2.4GHz communication. Is it easy to pair a replacement controller?
    4. Do the controllers switch from pogo pin wired communication to wireless when removed or is it always wirelessly communicating with the main board?
    5. What kind of reliability testing has the removable controllers gone through? May i ask how many insertion cycles they are rated for?
    6. A question others have asked: will the device be able to go beyond 25W in docked mode?
    7. Another question others have asked: will there be a keyboard accessory.

    thanks for your time and thanks for helping develop this product!

    Hi,
    first things first, this is amazing looking product, seems very well done one the HW engineering side and capture an imagination, so congrats to Lenovo product team!

    couple of questions on the SW side:
    • as others mention, possibility for lower than 60hz refresh would be beneficial. Any plans to introduce 40hz for example? Similar is on steamdeck. It balances well batter life, frametime/rate stability for more demanding games and many (me included) find it sweet spot for handheld gamins. I avoid playing at 30fps, but handhelds often can't keep 60fps stable. 40fps turns to be a good balance.
    • Lenovo Space: what stores will be available to connect? Steam, Epic, GOG, Battlenet, Ubisoft, EA Play, Gamepass? Any others?
    • Lenovo Space again: will there be possibility for custom themes, fonts, colors? Hide some elements?
    Appreciate the answer!

    What countries will this be officially sold in? Is it coming to South Africa?

    Also, how good is the "tablet mode" experience when you've removed the controllers? Could it replace an iPad?

    "Would the VRR be available in the end? Where can we check different models and prices sold in our regions? Apart from this, the screen looks amazing, could draw on KRITA with my finger for hours!"
