I'll have owned my Legion Go for 2 years by December of this year, and I have noticed it tends to *feel* a bit warmer than it used to be (though installing a copper heatsink for the SSD may also play a role in that). I haven't had any thermal throttling of note during regular use, but I did remember that on a few newer and less optimized games, it would throttle and force a shutdown eventually if I didn't max out the fans or put it in front of my desk fan. Thing is, this isn't exactly new behaviour since it's happened a few times back when I first bought it and I was still fumbling about with the settings. Maybe that's just a specific flaw on my device, I'm not sure, but the point is it's not something that's "new".

At any rate, should I take the device apart and repaste it in the near future, or is it safe to leave it until a while later?

I originally wanted to pick up a Claw 8ai Intel to replace my Z1E Legion Go later at the end of the year, but after some browsing, I've found that it's been out of stock in most stores in my country (online or otherwise). The few still kicking around are retailing for about 1150 to 1200 USD after conversion, which is a bit of an ask. There are a few used listings for around 900-ish, but I would prefer to buy new.

Now, the Claw A8 AMD is still widely in stock, and they tend to retail for around 900-ish as well, about the same as a used Claw 8ai Intel.

All else being equal, I would still prefer getting an Intel device since (in my opinion) they're promising better long-term driver support, but that price difference for brand new devices has me rethinking my options.

What would you guys do if you were in my shoes?

Lagi mikir2 jalur upgrade VGA gw nanti akhir tahun. abis browsing toko online, nemu beberapa listing dimana harga 4070 12GB dan 5060ti 16GB yg gak jauh beda (kisaran 9-10jt).

Menurut kalian, kalo harga segitu, mending ngambil yg mana?

The Legion Go 1 is my first PC handheld and while it's mostly good enough to play the games I usually play, the ergonomics leaves a lot to be desired and that battery is a bit too small for comfort. The Go 2 was the obvious upgrade path, but the pricing means I'm going to have to cut more from my savings than I am comfortable with, at least in the foreseeable future.

I've heard a lot of good things about the 8AI over the past few months. Would you guys say it's worth picking over the other PC handhelds?
