I almost bought Lenovo Legion Go but decided against the first iteration. I think they should not have marketed the device for gaming.

On the bright side, phoronix said the detachable controller drivers are (about to be?) merged into one of the latest kernels. That's pretty remarkable.

What do you mean by this? Like you think it's better as a productivity or media consumption device? I never use my Ally for watching anything because the screens so small and I have an ipad, I kind of figured I'd use it more if I got the legion instead.

I have plenty other computers that are better suited for the type of gaming I do.

I imagined using the device, with its stand, on my tummy. Mostly reading but also hosting stuff. It's about 650 grams without the controllers, so not ideal, but better than my 1.4 kg laptop. Better than a phone.

Minisforum is about to release a high end Ryzen 8000 14 inch tablet real soon. Still a kilo, though.
