No problem at all! What’s interesting about this improved thermal design is its ability to actually dissipate 40watts, at the cost of a high fan speed and noise. (About 80 c avg) So if and when we see those Z1E variants, this could make for a great and cool experience at 30w, much better than the z1 go ever could. Edit: punctuation clarity
Switch 2 is going to be a tough competitor I think, even if it is just a super switch. I think we will be seeing more ps4 era games come over that switch 1 couldn’t handle all while maintaining good thermals and battery life. While also costing not as much. But…. Then you pay the Nintendo launch msrp title pricing for the life of the system. Save for a 10 to maaaaaybe 20 dollars off if Mario feels generous haha.
Nice job lenovo, charge us as much as a current handheld for a 2 year old chip and also dont do something as simple as just have the back cover unscrew and remove like everyone else.
I mean, technically anything is possible, with enough time, money and determination. The battery does appear to be in a cradle so unless you were to remove that cradle or find a larger capacity that could fit into it, you may not be able to

did the first legion had 2080 support?
@@DarthRevan2.0117 not officially no
Out of curiosity, do you think it’s possible to replace the battery with one that has a larger capacity?

The battery does appear to be in a cradle so unless you were to remove that cradle or find a larger capacity that could fit into it, you may not be able to
