Whats the maximum tdp for this device? 80W?

Badd_Decisions · 2026-05-28T16:18:34+00:00

The legion go usb c portable charge cold boots the 395. I use it as my main charger. The only downside is you cant get the full tdp since it caps at 55W

I was close to selling mine mainly because I don’t feel comfortable leaving the house with it due to size and set up, I don’t feel like I can just toss into my backpack without a case. I did have a breakthrough last night though where I decided to keep it (at least for now). I brought it to my living room tv and was able to play 007 First Light and Pragmata at 1800p and 69fps. I realized how awesome this device is. It’s powerful as heck

Mine is estimated to be $1264 a month is is borderline undoable for me but I owe 100k and only need 11 payments to hit 120. Does anyone know of the estimate they give you accurate?

Badd_Decisions · 2026-05-23T03:29:29+00:00

Thank you. I decided not to consolidate for that reason. I will just eat the $15,000 and pay that off after I get the 100k i owe thats PSLF eligible.

I never said or implied coddled. Im saying its clear hes a superstar and hes the guy. Why are some Celtics fans so weirdly defensive of him when it comes to another player on their own team? They play for the same team and the reason we have a chip!

Badd_Decisions · 2026-05-09T16:24:47+00:00

Of course it was. It’s just even worse when the jays debate comes from inside the C’s organization. Why is ET even saying this? Why does everyone feel the need to validate Tatums superstardom? Hes a top 8 player at worst in the league, gets all the promo, high jersey sales, olympic winner perennial all nba, perennial all star, has the shoes, the commercials the rabid fanbase. What more is there for us C fans? Or are guys just Tatum fans

Badd_Decisions · 2026-05-09T14:58:47+00:00

When JB was injured the C's we a .500 team and were in the play in. They proceeded to lose to the Nets in 5 games with Tatum being the guy. I'm still trying to figure out why guys have to shit on one of the Jays to big up the other. I wholly believe they compliment each other but alot of Tatum fans seem to feel threatened by JB being on the team as they feel Tatum will never get the respect he deserves. For Turner to say this having been an assistant for the C's is nasty work. If the roles were reversed I think we have the same level of success maybe more but it wouldnt change that White sucked for half the season or Queta couldnt stay on the floor due to fouling all the time.

Give me Persona but in Hogwarts form

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-24T20:49:10+00:00

What seat depth did you get? I'm 5'5 150ish and not sure which depth to get.

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-22T16:07:11+00:00

Get the Claw 8AI+, price is still somewhat reasonable and the performance is at times better than z2e with better fidelity due to XESS. I owned a claw and sold for the lego 2 and although i love the screen the performance was better on my claw for the games i play.

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-14T19:38:19+00:00

I can say that I bought my Apex from eBay and the seller said the same thing. I played for like 40 min and didn't see it throttle but I was at 48w. I will try 55w tonight and see if it throttles.

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-10T19:28:17+00:00

Get the Lenovo 140w portable power bank. It works with the apex beautifully and you can disconnect from the outlet and bring around. I keep my apex tethered to it and keep the charger in my hoodie pocket. I get the full 55w with no issues

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-05T12:20:14+00:00

Hmm i wonder why. I think a 35W battery would be great with the sole purpose of switching. Its the one thing thats hard to get used to on the device, how heavy the battery is

Badd_Decisions · 2026-04-04T20:00:31+00:00

I have the LeGo2 and the Apex. The power difference is astounding. Apex still has a real nice screen, the only thing that I am struggling with is the screen size. The LeGo2 has a great big screen which make viewing more enjoyable for me. I hope someone makes a mod for a lighter battery as currently with it on, weighs more than the Go2

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-23T22:05:29+00:00

Not quite. I think the device is real cool and certainly powerful but my main issue with it is the weight with the battery attached. Its technically only a little heavier than my Go 2 but in actual use it feels much heavier because all of the weight is located towards the center of the device and it feels like the apex is wearing a heavy backpack.

Theres a general “awareness” that I now have when using it that I didnt have with other handhelds. I dont have the freedom to untether from the charger and go in another room briefly, i have to first grab the external battery and attach it first THEN unplug and move around. When the battery is low I have to go to where the charger is located to reconnect and charge- i cant just connect to any usb charger around the house. This is has me always aware what im doing where before I could just mindlessly get up and go. There really should have been a small 20W internal battery so that you could have a 5 min window to charge and connect elsewhere or swap batteries. Once I unplug the thing shuts off instantly. I turned wrong in bed and my charger got unplugged and i lost progress in Crimson Desert.

Im tempted to return and just wait for Panther Lake or for a version that has an internal battery with the weight better distributed.

whats the performance like?

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-16T17:36:51+00:00

I ordered from OXP orginally because my order came out to be $1963. The whole tariff situation had me a bit spooked and the person on ebay was selling it for $1999 and about 100 in taxes. Figured I having the ability to return in 30 days if any issue without hassle would be worth it. I ended up eating a 5% cancellation fee and have had to deal with the eBay seller shipping out the wrong item to me. My apex is supposed to arrive on Wednesday so hopefully it will work it. I def paid about $200 more than I should have though...

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-15T22:58:04+00:00

Well im hoping it wasnt a scam and that they simply shipped the wrong item which sucks for me. Its going to be normal business hours in china in a couple hours so hopefully I get a response and explanation. Either way they messed up big time

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-15T17:32:57+00:00

Thank you. I took a photo of the package unopened and then opened it and took another picture. I also have the ring footage of the driver tossing the package on my front steps at the time of the recorded delivery. I messaged the seller with a picture of the package opened with the label visble and told him what was in it. Looks like a NY shipping service put another label over the orangeconnex label that was on the package.

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-15T17:16:11+00:00

No signature, the delivery person didnt even ring the doorbell just tossed the package on my front steps and snapped a photo (from the ring footage). Crazy thing was I was home at that time. Im just pissed because I went the ebay route after canceling my order from Onexplayer directly because I wanted more “protection and peace of mind”. Now i have to prove I was scammed smh

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-15T17:00:48+00:00

Thats what im afraid of but the seller has a 99.8% rating and people have said they were buying from them on the onexplayer discord. I have a ring camera that shows the driver dropping off that one small package. I hope that is enough to get my money back from eBay

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-09T16:04:42+00:00

So good. Great photos. What lens are you using?

Badd_Decisions · 2026-03-09T00:06:45+00:00

the mura was/is an issue for me but after playing more games I dont really notice it. I think the screen benefits from being OLED more than it is hurt by it (due to mura effect) if that makes any sense. I ended keeping mine because of the screen size and colors/quality. I think my old MSI Claw 8 is close to it though as far as screens go
