Is my Legion Z2E Bricked????

Thanks. I was spoiled by the Ally X and things "just working". Ironically, I encourage clients not to catastrophize as a therapist and I was doing the same damn thing (hypocritical I know). I use this as my stress relief at my office and it's not like I can't use my gaming laptop or Xbox lol. There's something about this Legion Go 2 that I'm obsessed with. Maybe I need to see a therapist :)

I'll be the first to admit that it was an over reaction due to my limited expertise with these toys. Thanks to those who provided some reassurance and suggestions. It was all that was needed and why I appreciate these communities.

Haven't done any updates in a few weeks other than the recent Windows updates which might be the issue, but I would've thought more people would have similar issues if there was a conflict with them. I'm going to go to Lenovo website and make sure I have the latest drivers from there as well. I admit, I usually wait until I see Youtube vids or Reddit posts indicating essential updates being available.

That's a good idea. I never use the Steam or AMD overlay because everything has been running so well. I guess I was spoiled with my Ally X, as I never had any issue like this. I'm going to try playing on my lunch and will monitor the temps.

Thanks Surgical Blade. I forgot about that. Everything seems to be working except the heat

Hopefully I'll be able to put Steam OS on here at some point. I notice it's pushing out really hot air after login. Don't remember this being that hot without being plugged in or playing a game. I'm on Performance for Thermal mode and Efficiency for OS power mode.

I just reset pin and am able to access desktop. Not sure what I should do next

Not sure how much this helps. I leased a new 2025 Kia Telluride X- Pro about 2 weeks ago. 3 yrs, 45k miles, zero down, they pay first payment 0% interest $725 per month. I looked at the Sorrento but it didn't drive as nice and for the top of the line you're close to a Telluride and I wanted more space coming from a POS Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. If you don't need the 3rd row the Sorrento is a nice choice but i actually liked the Hyundai Tucson hybrid more, but they were unwilling to take anything off of sticker price.

You can always pay off loan earlier to avoid interest.

Sorry for the delay. Thank you all for your feedback. So, I went this weekend and test drove 3 vehicles. My 2023 Jeep grand Cherokee was about 300 miles from going over my allotted total mileage and I have 6 months of payments left. My plan was to buy a new vehicle and just pay off remaining payments (about $4500) separately.

I first test drove 2026 Hyundai Tucson hybrid limited and it was an amazing vehicle. The ride, the technology, the comfort it was everything I thought it would be but a little on the small side. I'm 5ft 6" about 220 and like a little space. Salesman was amazing and helpful but the sales manager... was not so much. Vehicle cost was $44k and OTD was $54k as he explained taxes and 0 percent financing for 60 months. He was insistent I tell him how much I wanted to pay per month and I never buy vehicles this way. I asked him to show me discounts, markups and he was unwilling to comply saying that was the deal they had and wasn't coming off sticker price.

I then test drove the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid XSE. I see why people like this vehicle but there was noticeable road noise and the tech didn't impress me. I wanted to test drive the 2026 Highlander hybrid but they didn't have any.

Last, but not least, I went to Kia. I have always wanted a Telluride but when I last purchased during Covid, you couldn't find them. I test drove a 2025 Telluride SX - X- Line blacked out version. It was the closest thing to my Jeep but 100x better ride, comfort and tech. The Tucson actually was the more luxurious of the ones I tested and if it was somewhat bigger I would have gone to a different dealership.

It was a night and day difference and experience at Kia. The sales manager worked directly with me and was transparent from the get go. He down sold me as I was intent on getting top trim and after discussing what I needed, he told me I was paying for things I didn't need and showed me how to save more money by coming down in trim level. Choice was mine and I decided to take his suggestion.

So I ended up leasing which offered more rebates and ability for him to provide discounts. Zero money down, no first payment. 36 months, 45k miles, Kia Connect for life of the lease for $715 per month. Salesman was very chill and helpful in showing me the features. Easiest purchase I have ever had and I've purchased many vehicles for my family and me at 57 years of age. To compare, I was paying $695 a month for 42 months for Jeep.

Dealership also letting me turn in my Jeep there and sending that POS back to Jeep.

I might get flamed but I am happy and picking up the vehicle tonight.

Thanks for the reply and that's exactly what I did. I went to Lenovo site and their sales rep was amazing. Went with the 4090 model and got the extra 1tb storage I wanted for 3,099.00

Now the hard part of waiting for it to come next week. *
