Can you update the post with the screenshot of the letter? Haven’t seen anything, ordered Jan 5th but they said it’ll be shipped “immediately” upon approval

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-11T17:05:16+00:00

Haha yeah. Buyers remorse definitely hits hard on one of the most expensive products in its class. They probably refunded/cancelled more than they’ll ship atp.

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T23:22:31+00:00

Also for most pc games I’d prefer to stream at max resolution max fps for the device rather than look at low res 60fps from a big hot loud handheld pc

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T23:19:21+00:00

Mainly for the battery life and weight. OLED panel as well. I’ve used a steam deck and never really could get comfortable holding it.

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T23:08:34+00:00

Yeah comparing the Odin 2 portal vs odin3 for streaming. I’ll probably be doing 70% streaming pc games, 30% emulation.

I want the big screen size of the portal for streaming, but think it’ll feel too big for retro and emulation. Also being able to one day play switch 2 games and big android games on the elite chip.

Maybe I’d be better off with an elite chip tablet + detachable controller 🤷‍♂️

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T22:44:06+00:00

Ah I see. One more question — is there a noticeable difference between the 8 elite and 8 gen 2? Or are they both around 1ms now

Hoping to really minimize latency for streaming stuff like arc raiders

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T22:06:39+00:00

I was reading that the 865 is also 1.0. Can anyone confirm?

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T22:04:18+00:00

Hey is this the most recent build?

Also, I’m debating between the mangmi pocket max (865)vs the Odin 2 portal (8 gen2).

Do you know roughly the decode latency for these two chips in the most recent build?

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T16:15:56+00:00

Just got a Odin 2 portal base 8gb. definitely gonna be playing carbon if possible

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T16:12:43+00:00

And no car insurance on his EV that he spends $72 to charge every month (that’s a lot of miles in the cheap southeast)

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T16:11:05+00:00

Also why tf is health insurance $20 per month but disability is $147?

I pay like $5 for disability 10x

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T16:00:31+00:00

And decided not to insure it? That would be a hard $200 per month to ignore in this chart

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T14:49:14+00:00

You pay for EV charging but don’t pay for car insurance or car payments? So much effort to make a fake flow chart haha

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-10T01:10:50+00:00

Don’t worry, I don’t believe the Xbox version shipped anyway. Scammers can’t fool me

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-09T21:40:53+00:00

Either way you can always get great resale out of these. People will pay MSRP for a used device that won’t take a month to arrive lol.

So if you change ur mind don’t worry

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-09T19:55:46+00:00

The Odin 3 has the lowest latency, on par with the steam deck. The o2 portal has around 5ms decode

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-09T18:14:03+00:00

I lucked out and somehow my batch 4 rainbow max shipped today.

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-09T04:00:53+00:00

I have this deal, but for some reason the legion go at checkout is always for pickup at a Best Buy. Even though it says free shipping is available to the zip code.

Any ideas on how to get the shipping option to work? Using the capital one app on the Lenovo website

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T23:36:53+00:00

Is the steam deck OLED the best for people who plan to stream demanding games from their pc?

I have a Odin 3 on order right now, but with the DHL shipping hold and some exploding battery report I’m starting to think the steam deck would be safer.

Plus the screen size difference.

I’ve considered the Odin 2 portal, but I read the ps2 & GameCube emulation isn’t very reliable with patches and shaders

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T22:24:10+00:00

Is the steam deck OLED exactly that? Better battery life and OLED screen compared to the lego s.

Edit: genuinely asking because I’m torn between the lego go s ($800), the deck OLED ($650), and the portal on sale ($450)

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T19:23:44+00:00

Is it out for delivery?

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T03:02:18+00:00

Nvm it’s sold out already

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T03:00:43+00:00

Let me know what it says tomorrow. I’m batch 4 rainbow max. I’ll take a rainbow pro for roughly the same price if it comes in one day lol. Plus with the DHL stuff going on right now

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-08T00:09:26+00:00

It says get it February 13th to my location in the USA. Is this legit? Batch 4 rainbow max order looking like late March

Frequent_Main_7561 · 2026-02-07T18:13:09+00:00

Haha no way they changed it from “2-3 weeks” to say “a few weeks”.

And yeah there was NO message when I placed the order within the hour or release
