    Please , you did not say anything about one of the main feature gamers are claiming

    Intermediate Refresh Rate options

    40hz/80hz/120hz

    FPS limiter would not have any sense if Lenovo does not add these Refresh Rate options manually. Without VRR we definitely need them.


    2TB micro SD ...does It exist? I do not think so ...

    Regarding not to Accept NGFF sata Protocol, it ka a pity...

    Anyway, please could you confirm the refresh rate options?

    Thanks

    @SergeyBalashov You have honestly dispelled all the doubts I had. And it will really be great Lenovo legion go. I will have it day 1 at my house. Knowing that in the end they will implement the fps limiter and that you are seeing if it is possible to add more refresh rates is something I thank you forall heart. Really, at least for me, legion go is the perfect PC for me. I had the deck and the onexplayer 2. But to be honest I was always looking for something exactly like the legion go. But at that time there was nothing similar on the market. Thanks for make my dreams and everyone's here come true!!!

    Y @sergeyBalashov. Olvidaste hablar sobre un tema que mencioné en este foro antes. ¿Habrá la opción de perfiles individuales para cada juego? Esa es otra característica que realmente aprecio

    Controllers holders:

    - However, for those who think they need it, and since the community asked, we are delivering: we will develop one such holder (light plastic connector). Moreover, we are currently planning to release it's 3D-printing file out in public so enthusiasts are able to do one themselves easily.
    - We can not promise when exactly the holder will be done, and if we are going to include it with the device by default (as I said - the ergonomics are actually pretty good as it is)

    ...

    Hello Sergey please forgive my late reply as the Lenovo community took several days to send me my verification email to allow me to post.

    I just wanted to remind you to communicate to the legion team that I really hope you guys open up the rail design, including the pogo pin out to the modding community and third-party companies. Share even more 3d printable files.

    This product can really go viral for example someone might:

    1)Turn the base unit into a mini bartop arcade.
    2) Create attached controllers that are lighter with no batteries, no wireless, no fps mode, regular back buttons and symmetrical analog sticks such as the Playstation/steamdeck sytle vs xbox layout.
    3) Have different color options for controllers
    4) Develop a clamshell that has a built-in doc to breakout video, power and more usb type a ports which includes a built-in keyboard with analog sticks much like the gpd win mini (look it up).
    5) attachabe battery banks?

    Who knows what ideas will come to fruition here the possibilities are endless!

    The point is the community and 3rd party takes all the risk to innovate and expand the popularity of the Go. Things can go viral very quickly and Lenovo will be able to quickly weigh in if a business case exists to expand on new exciting accessory lines.

    Thank you for reading us, really
    aporeciate your invaluable support.

    Please, bearing in mind all the mentioned above, Lenovo Go could become STEAM DECK KILLER for sure,

    Notwithstanding ,the following features I suggest, would be essential to accomplish that propuse:

    - from my point of view, in this order:

    1) FPS LIMITER / INTERMEDIATE REFRESH RATE (40hz/80hz etc)
    (with no vrr we really need manually modify the Refresh Rate to avoid juice battery drain)

    2) STRETCH IMAGE 16:10 FULLSCREEN
    (to eliminate the black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen) Many games has not 16:10 aspect ratio compatibility. VALVE has just added this feature to Steam OS 3.5 for deck (ir has 16:10 as well) which is awesome ! To take full advantage to this 8.8" astonishing screen , we need as well this feature.

    3) INDIVIDUAL GAMING PROFILES
    To be able to Save each games config individually. Another brutal option that is offered by Asus and Valve.


    If Lenovo listen to us, gamers, there is no doubt that yes, Lenovo Go is here to stay and beat the rest.


    Kind regards

    Guys.According to what @SergeyBalashov said, the project is literally done, the AMA is CLOSED and he won't reply any more on this tread.

    They just have to soften/harden something, testing something else, but there we are.

    He said that the screen is that, maybe with a little oleophobic/antiglare treatment, but "just a little". So we must wait and hope for some third part companies to make accessories (like the anti-glare screen protector I've bought for STEAM DECK from JSAUX: it made my 64GB Steam Deck just like a 512GB, the one with antiglare screen). Maybe, with at-launch or future upgrade features, they will set VRR compatibility for external displays, when we wanna use Legion Go docked.

    We should use a capacitive pen (it's a pen with a rubbish tip) if we wanna use a pen on it, just like almost all devices with a capacitive display.

    The display itself is already done: 60 FPS and 144 FPS. They are just testing it to see if it can be downgraded, but it's not sure it can be achieved. And it won't be VRR. He said that setting it to 40Hz will just help to enhance battery life just A LIL. So, from 1 Hour and 40 minutes to 1 Hour and 55 minutes? With 800p 40hz graphic? It's like when I buy a Lamborghini Murciélago but I use it at 30Mhp/h fixed, to avoind spending too much fuel! But if I am willing to use it for longer than 1,5hours, then why not?


    I'm happy they dediced to accept my suggestion and make a "joycon" holder, maybe with a powerbank integrated for longer gaming session. Yeah, we can of course use them with separated hands, but I'm glad we can use it as a real "two-handed" joypad. Because we can always buy a third-part bluetooth joypad, but the feeling won't be the same, not at all. And 800 mAh should provide...3 hours gaming? Maybe even lesser than that. So, a holder with integrated power bank (maybe even done by third-part companies) will be REALLY handy!!!



    The rest are all suggestions that can be done with ready or future-upgrade features, just like the 16:10 fullscreen features with NO black bars. I play currently on Steam Deck (without that upgrade for full screen), and only a few titles had just 16:9 (with black bars up and down the screen). All other titles I played were at full screen. But a feature to maximize (with software) the resolution, would be REALLY GOOD!





    And yeah, I as well hate to wait still more than one month to grasp Legion Go! 🤣

    Can we please have the sweet spot of 5GB and 6GB of vram too?

    Some games need more than 4GB of vram, but 8GB is overkill for them because we need more ram for the system itself.

    For example, with 6GB of vram you have 10GB for the system instead of just 8GB where the game itself needs 8GB.

    the funny thing is that on the American site it is possible to choose between 512 GB at $699 and 1 TB at $749,.... while I spent €799 which is equivalent to $840 for the 512 GB version and I couldn't choose the version, so oe a mistake or a big scam, not because it doesn't arrive, I know the product is real and it arrives but the price difference is huge

    I'm very interested in this type of product, but what bothers me is the mouse. Since I'm left-handed, I'd like to know if this mouse is suitable for the left hand?
