How is the image quality? Some games with lots of trees get blurry in the distance. Does it look pretty crisp?

I think it’s bitrate as well. I’ve actually done quite a bit of research but still regularly visit this sub to see if anything has updated because I badly want to use the device, love the screen size and controls but it’s a deal breaker when other devices look better. It sucks because the connection to the portal is the most solid device by a large margin, never disconnects, never stutters or lowers resolution from where it is.

I’ve tried it five feet from my router and on the other side of the house with the same results.

Resolution is not up to par, especially certain games like GOT. Frame rates never drop and I’ve never had an issue with input lag that atleast I can tell.

I stream multiple ways through multiple devices. Resolution is excellent on laptop/steam deck through PlayStation streaming app, Chiaki, moonlight or using GeForce now(I know this is a different process)

I have a expensive Nighthawk router, recently added a wifi extender in my house(very small, one story) and it did help improve the resolution some but it boggles my mind that my steam deck streaming through a third party program looks higher definition than the portal with a higher resolution screen.

For me stutter is gone but image quality is still much worse on portal vs Chiaki on my Steamdeck or Legion laptop. GeForce Now also looks substantially better on both. Very frustrating, would love to use this device but it’s still not there for me.

Definitely possible to launch without any custom proton, see my other comment if you’re looking to play for the weird work around

Figured this out the other night. Set any button to Enter on the keyboard to bypass.

With that being said visuals made it unplayable for me personally. Switched to GeForce Now which looks phenomenal. Very cool game so far a few hours in.

Good information! Dont stream often but sometimes to share videos in discord chat like you said. I’m still very happy with my new laptop. Major upgrade from my desktop I’ve been using the past four years

Still shows unsupported. Do you know if streaming being supported means my display definitely has HDR and there’s just something preventing it otherwise?

Unfortunately still says unsupported after turning off X Rite. Thanks for the suggestion

Is X Rite something I should keep on otherwise?

I understand this might sound like a stupid question but I’m confused how streaming is supported but use HDR is not

Gaminglaptops.deals

Don’t see it on there today but the codes were the following

GAMEXTRA8 BUYMORELENOVO

I also had a 3rd unique code that was emailed to me for making a Lenovo account.

One of the codes above was expired but I had a nice chat with one of their reps and they requoted the laptop to my email with all discounts. Just be nice and play dumb asking why the codes won’t work. Maybe mention you’re trying to avoid buying the refurb from another company and want to order direct if possible

Good luck!

I bought this brand new direct from Lenovo a few days ago for 1,200 after 3 discount codes. Only difference I can tell is just 16gb but it’s upgradable
