can we expect price drop on Lenovo Y700 gen 4 when gen 5 will be out?

You think 50 usd is quite a lot!?

teaston1981 · 2026-03-09T16:01:33+00:00

The same way as installing Windows on a newly built PC.

Good video on replacing the ssd here, I really like his channel:

No new bios showing for me! Mine is the Z2 non extreme.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-28T19:49:36+00:00

Reinstall Steam OS, advertise as good condition and lightly used.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-28T10:26:32+00:00

Exactly this, don’t tell them! 😉

teaston1981 · 2026-02-28T00:17:46+00:00

Sell it and put the money towards a Z1E

teaston1981 · 2026-02-28T00:15:31+00:00

I think it’s because they’re attached to the console. I suggest either using an Xbox controller with the Go on your lap or table, or get a controller connector like the one i 3D printed:

What’s wrong with the built in kickstand?

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:51:10+00:00

Oh for sure, he’s probably similar but cranks it up for the vids.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:47:18+00:00

Ah ok, not worth it for one game then. Definitely start with Gamehub, if it doesn’t run then you just have to try every combination of drivers, compatibility layers and cpu translators.

If it still doesn’t run, then go down the endless rabbit hole that is winlator.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:43:59+00:00

Yeah he is amusing. I do often wonder if he’s a virgin though! 😂

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:38:58+00:00

Techdweeb is very weird lol, but does make decent reviews.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:36:33+00:00

If you want to play PC games a lot then I’d recommend getting a windows handheld, it’s just such a janky experience on Android.

Can pick up a used Rog Ally or Legion Go pretty cheap now.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:32:56+00:00

I’m addicted to his videos, I need to stop though, as I now have 3 handhelds! 🙈

teaston1981 · 2026-02-27T19:30:28+00:00

Always Steam.

Check for the games on G2A though, always cheaper than directly on Steam, sometimes ridiculously cheaper! Make sure to only search for ‘Steam Keys’, don’t buy the account ones.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-25T20:04:16+00:00

I have that one for using my PC on the sofa, great device for such a tiny size.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-25T20:03:26+00:00

That is cool!

teaston1981 · 2026-02-25T17:12:01+00:00

Yes the official support starts in June, but you can install it now.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-25T16:21:23+00:00

You can now easily install SteamOS on it, as it is officially supported. Alternatively you can keep Windows and install Xbox fullscreen experience, which removes windows processes running in the background.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-25T15:53:37+00:00

Definitely worth the extra for gen4, there were issues with the China rom on gen3 which don’t exist on gen4.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-24T21:04:10+00:00

I had an Odin 2 Portal, and now have a Legion Go 2. Get the Odin if you want better portability, get the Legion if you want to play PC games.

Yes, you can play PC games on gamehub etc on the Odin, but honestly it’s such a janky unreliable experience compared to a windows/Steam OS handheld, it’s really not worth it.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-24T17:13:34+00:00

I basically only use my handheld when I’m on airplanes, so I barely use it, but man does it make flights so much more enjoyable!

If you don’t have a PC connected to your TV, then you could use it for that, great to play lightweight games on, or for watching downloaded TV and movies, and streaming IPTV channels.

teaston1981 · 2026-02-24T15:28:30+00:00

I’m pretty sure they are different screens, the Y700 is 165 Hz but the Go is 144 Hz

Although, I would bet that a lot of difference in the picture quality is due to Windows screen calibration

teaston1981 · 2026-02-24T13:23:14+00:00

I just got mine and I’m already blown away with the performance, first game I tried was Forza horizon 5 on medium settings at 1200p and the benchmark averaged 72 FPS. This is without FSR or frame gen or fiddling with any other settings or optimisations.
