    I have one. It’s good. Reading in game text pretty easy. The thing is heavy but I play it laying down or on a table. The 2 USB40Gbps ports are exciting. Not to egpu but for external storage with a right angle adapter and a >500MBps flash drive. Faster and more cost effective than fast microsd cards. Can be a bit janky

    A lot of times games start in the background and I have to 3 finger swipe up to change windows. Sometimes after it goes to sleep and waking it up, the display stays black. So a series of hitting the power button until you get display. Also waking up from sleep and Steam Big Picture being unresponsive until you close reopen Steam. The Lenovo quick settings menu, annoying when input isn’t solely captured by it so you’re moving the overlay panel and the background

    Overall it’s fine though once you’re in game. I game 99% off games purchased off Steam so I’ll probably install Linux on it for a more streamlined handheld experience along with a lightweight desktop. Install Waydroid. Prefer that over WSA. It’s stronger than my laptop. It’s worthy of being a dev machine too

        My mom’s computer skills were bad, and in decline because of her cognitive decline, and I switched her from Windows to Ubuntu around 6 years ago because it was actually easier for her to use, even back then, and it’s improved since then.

      I generally think it’s a good sign when something is heavy relative to its size.

      I just saw a different review of this and it definitely looks very good.

      a right angle adapter

      Out of specification, not recommended.
