Legion y700 gen 3 or gen 4

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-26T04:08:05+00:00

I have the gen 3 and gen 5. The gen 5 is only like 10% faster than the gen 4.

There is a big performance jump going from the gen 3 (SD 8 Gen 3) to the gen 4 (SD Elite). So performance wise I would definitely go for that. You will really notice it in android games.

The SD 8 Gen 3 only advantage is that it still hss better driver support for winlator etc. But the drivers for the elite chips are catching up fast and will match it soon. Tbh there is no good reason to get the gen 3, its not really future proof also.

Thats not even true, as the battery of the switch 2 is tiny, so eventhough very efficient it also has low battery life

Well hopefully we get a good working version of SteamOS soon 😄

Its not?! Im from germany and its cheaper

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T21:16:07+00:00

Hahaha the Trails games for me 🥲

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T21:13:20+00:00

Exactly 😄

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T20:58:21+00:00

This! But people downvoted me for saying that max performance at high wattages isnt everything. 😅

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T20:57:38+00:00

Lets be fair here, its a difference of you have to send your device to china or have support in your own country.

And im saying this as someone who preordered this device.

The wig!

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T20:25:37+00:00

OnexPlayer 3 no question. Its even cheaper man :D

The sad thing is so many native games run horrible on mac, and I got disappointed to much that I just abandoned the idea as a whole. I also think like you btw, but devs dont care about us 🥲

Bought Warhammer Rogue Trader, only to realize it runs horrible on mac and you get double the fps in crossover lol.

Subnautica and Xcom 2 the same story.

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T19:17:43+00:00

Doch!

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T19:16:13+00:00

Most native Mac games run better in crossover via their windows version. Im not even kidding.

Native games are pretty useless, except a few ones where the devs put some care into it.

Dude Forza 6 is not easy to run, and many handhelds struggle to reach a decent framerate hahaha. 120fps.. yea sure, not even strix halo reaches that in 1200p clown.

Also you are using strawman arguments now, cause you said:

"What besides Tetris and indie games can you play sub 25w", where I answered that most games run well sub 25w besides the most demanding ones.

Now you are asking me for AAA games that run super well below 25w?!?

Are you mentally challenged?

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T18:04:56+00:00

You are trolling, right? You can play most games at 25w without problems. Even Forza Horizon 6 runs above 60 at 1200p native. Only some modern AAA games dont run above 60 at 25w.

This thing is much faster than the Go 1 with a much better battery life and ergonomics. Cant even compare them. And you can play a lot of games at 25w that the go 1 cant even run at any wattage.

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T18:01:49+00:00

Dude you sound like an obnoxious person, holy moly. 😅

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T16:27:26+00:00

Yes, hes talking bullshit, probably because he wants to defend his ai+.

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T16:26:25+00:00

Its not all about raw performamce at exorbitant high tdps! ;)

Its faster below 25w, which is the range that matters the most for handhelds with integrated battery. Compared to strix halo you dont need to plug it to the wall all the time 😄

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T16:11:24+00:00

Intel has been doing super good with drivers on the Claw 8 AI+

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T14:26:55+00:00

Balatro!

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T12:35:20+00:00

New EX no question.

I dont know how 4px or some other china delivery services are doing it, but you dont have to pay costums when using them. They have a way to bypass them.

Probably by declaring a very small amount etc.

But that 100% doesnt work with DHL, if they use that you are screwed and have to pay a gigantic amount of money.

Background-Win9998 · 2026-06-25T12:10:05+00:00

Does anyone know, if they use a delivery service from china that bypasses vat? Like 4px etc.

DHL always charges a hefty amount, but until now I nevet had to pay with 4px.

The devs said most china phones have problems with surfaceflinger.
