    - basically other than that it is quite similar to Y700 tablet screen, but we did not tet e-pen there (still waiting the info on that).

    If it turns out that this device supports an active pen (whether the Lenovo Precision Pen or any MPP 2.0 pen) I will buy this on DAY ONE. This is literally my DREAM device.

    Can you please clarify what you mean by "its default landscape mode" ? On a video review by "The Tech Chap" (Here is the video with the timestamp)

    I will repeat this again and again.
    There are no reviews of the final product. These are all pre-reviews of not a final product. These are engineering samples.

    Yes, I confirm that since the early samples the default mode was portrait, but in the final product it is landscape.

    I hear your frustration grows, Sergey, but bear with us! it's the enthusiasm for your product that generates all these questions. we (me definitely) want this to be successful and cant wait for the reviews and being able to experience it hands on

    Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions regarding the display - I would love for you to follow up on the AR coating before the AMA ends. From the few initial impressions video I've seen, the type, hue, and magnitude of the cover glass's reflection doesn't indicate an AR coating to me, but I would love to be wrong.

    I have a few more questions regarding your two posts:

    1) Will you be able to elaborate on the HD haptic system Lenovo went with on the Legion Go? Can you comment on the type of haptic actuators used, e.g. Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) actuators like on the Xbox controllers or Linear Mass Actuators (LRA) like on the Switch's Joy Cons and PS5 Dual Sense?

    2) How long can we expect the controller's 900mAh battery to last under active usage while detached from the main tablet body? Does each controller have a 900 mAh charge capacity or is it 450 mAh each? What is the typical 0-100 charge time for the controllers?

    3) Is the Micro SD card socket UHS-II capable?

    4) What type of material(s) should we expect the final Legion Go's tablet chassis to be composed of? From Dave2D's teardown, it appears the back panel (and mid frame?) is made of magnesium? Or is it plastic? Is the tablet chassis going to be painted or have an anodized finish?

    5) Can you comment on the rigidity of the controller connection mechanism? I find on my Switch, there's 2 to 3 degrees of play between the Joy Cons and the rails, resulting in a noticeable 'looseness' at the attachment point.

    6) Will Lenovo offer consumer purchasable replacement parts for the Legion Go?

    I can confirm that, @SergeyBalashov thanks for the answer, I hope some pen works because it will be an immediate purchase along with the legion go!

    Wow, the device is really amazing and its design is better than the steam deck
    It's like a mix between Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, and it's really very cool
    I think it's the best portable device🔥🔥🔥

    Hi! I've read most of the questions and your answers cleared most of my dubts. But I've read no question regardings:

    - ANTI-GLARE screen. Will Legion Go have an anti-glare screen? Or at least a screen protection with anti-glare properties? I hope it will have anti-glare properties as default, since it's a portable-consolle-shaped-gaming pc, and playing with a screen which reflects almost all images (even the player itself) it's not quite a deal;

    - Dock. Since the Legion Go features a LOWER USB-C port, it would be great to have a DOCK with a usb-c plug exactly where the lower port is! It would be wonderful to have a Dock without a cable on the upper part of the console (like Steam Deck or ROG Ally), don't you think? Of course, this is not a priority, but would be good in the future;

    - Joypad. I think (this is not a priority as well) you should make a stand, right into the package, to attach into the two side pads, in order to make a fully-featured gaming pad to use with both hands. And maybe, sold separately, another pad-stand with a integrated powerbank to attach the side gamepads in order to have a greater autonomy (since the Legion Go is plugged, the game won't worry about its battery, but the gamepads would run out juice, sooner or later, and with this "Legion Go PowerStand", I can easily get hours and hours of gaming, worring about anything!

    (Like most powerbanks, 4 leds indicates the battery left)
    And, as well, I suggest you to put accelerometer and gyro in at least one of the two pads, so you can use those features with the pads plugged off. I'd suggest the LEFT pad, since you'll use the right one as a mouse with its round-shape stand. And, last but not least, a stand-alone charger to recharge the pads separately. Since there's no leds/power idicators on the pads, the led should be put into the charger itself.



    Since you made detachable pads, you should enfatize and support them more, since this is what I call a Killer-feature Steam Deck and ROG Ally don't have! Yeah, you can always buy a separate bluetooth pad but why should I do this if i can use Legion Go Gamepad, giving me features that a normal bluetooth gaming pad doesn't have? In my honest opinion, I think this detachable-pads thing will make persons purchase your LEGION GO, maybe after selling their Steam Deck / ROG Ally. Bigger screen is one of the KILLER-Feature: detachable pads is another KILLER-Feature!

    The real battle is not only regarding what I have, but what I have and competitor's don't. You have the bigger screen. You have the bigger battery. You have the detachable pads! Competitors don't! And all of this should be your strong point, not something to be ashamed, something to not support properly.

    Hi again

    Q1. Is the case for it hard or soft?

    Q2. Does the case come with the system? I saw one YouTuber that mentioned this. Can you please confirm.

    Q3. The back stand has it been tested… you know one of this robots opens and closes the stand few thousands of times… what is the durability? If it broke can it be replaced?

    Q4. What kind of parts can we order to repair our systems? If something breaks… controllers? Screen? Fan? Anything you can think of.

    Q5. Will there be different types of thump sticks? Rubber, plastic…
