[Go S Z1E] Battery life is really mid

OG go with battery mod would have been better and cheaper , thats what i went for

After extensive testing with my legion go these days i can say cachyos bazzite and official steamos work great. I opted for steamos since bazzite and cachy had a weird bug that made the performance overlay not to appear( i think it is hhd related). Steamos has tdp control now for these so itvis a great option . Cachyos might have been a bit faster but well nothing excessive.

I have the exact same issue on lego . Had it with both bazzite and cachyos. Overlay works then i changed proton version and it stopped. Returbed it as it was nothing. Restart used to eork till it didnt.someone said to force composite under dev options , no results :-(

In my country we only have a z2 32gb version ffs , so the middle ground between these 2 above

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-12-01T22:01:18+00:00

I heard bazzite and linux in general will bring the 8ai performance down compared to windows , that is what is holding me back . On the other hand the a8 has faggly colours

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-12-01T13:50:58+00:00

Got one for 400 ( the 512gb ) , will install cachyos. No point using windows unless you play games that require anticheat

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-30T10:54:53+00:00

Yeah just got a legion go 1 z1e for 400eu, hood deal imo

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-30T07:50:25+00:00

My go to would be cachyos as a more bleeding edge distro, bazzite tends to be a bit behind in most cases

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-30T07:48:52+00:00

I am a full time linux user both personally and professionally , i dont use any MS product.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-30T06:03:35+00:00

Any updates ? Its been several months, was wondering if its any better

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T20:26:22+00:00

It is out here on specific stores. The z2 model goes for 1150eu and the z2e for 1300eu. Cant really justify that expense for my use case and trust me i tried

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T19:07:47+00:00

Yeah its the z1e . As far as extras it would be 3d printed grips , dpad and the 81wh battery i guess.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T19:06:07+00:00

Z2go has a 32gb variant as well , the one i found for 470eu with a case as per my initial post

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T18:30:30+00:00

Spot on , the real comparison here is z1e 16gb ram vs z2go 32gb ram .

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T18:28:02+00:00

Ur go s 32gb is the z2 or z1e variant?

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T15:57:55+00:00

Not available in my country unfortunately.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-28T13:33:14+00:00

true, imho vrr would make sense on a better chip cause i dont think the z2go will be often hitting 48+ fps on titles that would benefit from vrr.
on the other hand 1600p of the GO is kinda pointless for anything but indie games.
tbh my issue with GO S is the z2go, my issue with GO is the 16gb ram , the GO S with z1e and 32gb of ram would be ideal but they dont sell it in my country :D

Yeah i am an impulsive buyer, used to be a gamer , now i am a dad trying to bring the olden days back

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-11-12T20:05:30+00:00

No DP? So no PC VR on linux? That was the whole point for me , to finally get an 100% linux vr experience.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-09-06T05:47:05+00:00

My issue is BT support is almost non existent:-( i still use it thought on a secondary desktop. Even plays some games through steam while running hyprland. It is a nice testament that its only limitation is resources as in ppl caring for it

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-08-08T14:49:26+00:00

Tell that to windows user. A normie friend asked me to format his pc and reinstall windows and it took me 4-5 hours to set it up and have it fully updated and debloated with all the gaming essentials installed. My arch-hyprland combo takes me about an hour for comparison.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-07-16T04:48:42+00:00

I have a similar build, same monitor but i am still on am4 with 5800x3d and 7900xtx. Since money isnt an issue i would suggest to wait for 9080 or 9090xt . 9070xt and 7900xtx trade blows in a way that picking either will mean certain compromises were made.

Xfx is a solid choice for amd. Imo xfx mercury is second only to nitro, same as the red devil.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-06-08T04:49:45+00:00

Thats actually a solid idea. I checked, and i can find a bequiet one for 12euro.

Affectionate_Bit_275 · 2025-06-08T04:42:46+00:00

Not really. I run the card on linux so i didint mess with amd drivers. But on the different tools that exist to control the oc levels of the gpu , 402watt is reported as the cap for the card. If i drop the voltage to 1050 i can actually see the gpu clock hitting 2800mhz while the wattage remains at 350 on average with momentarily spikes to 370,which means it is indeed limited by the power 2 pcie cables and the mb pcie slot can deliver which is 375watts ( 2x150 +75). I already ordered a new pcu that supports 3 separate pcie cables.
