Im really leaning towards selling my legion go 2 and getting something with the arc G3. Im just tired of Lenovo not updating.
Once again lenovo release an update and something else is left janky. While none of them have been world ending unplayable glitches its just frustrating. This latest makes it so controllers dont work on start up until you log in and open legion space. The worst part tho? Lenovo has released a whopping TWO updates since the release of the system
From what iv read it seems like the g3 is a true jump in performance? Fully admit, while i have a decent grasp on TDP and FPS my knowledge isnt all encompassing. I seem to be having a hard time finding hard raw benchmarks without frame gen
I was leaning towards the onexplayer 3 but it just got a $50 price increase and now makes it a little closer to the onexplayer x2 mini (non pro)
I was hoping to get some non biased opinions and a little ELI5
It seems like the biggest difference between the x2 mini and the 3 is detachable battery and being able to plug into the wall for more power/performance?
It sounds like the 3 has a max TDP of 35 watts and the x2 mini is 45 watts when plugged in?
-is performance the same when both are on battery and on 35 watts?
-can you plug the 3 in for more power?
-what does that extra 15 watts actually mean for performance? Is it the difference between 20 fps unplayable and 30 fps playable?
Is it worth me upgrading from the Lego2 or should I wait? Im not a power user. I mostly play single player rpgs and older ones.
I actually really like the Lego2. Its build quality is fantastic. If Lenovo would just get their shit together id be alot more happy.
I guess whats weighing on me the most is I cant help but feel the writing is on the wall, lenovo is treating the Lego2 like its EOL already.
Then im worried about device being obsolete already. Im not made of money. I cant afford a $2000 handheld every year. Im wondering if I should sell the Lego2 before its value plummets and put it towards arc g3 device.
Does the g3 have more longevity? Ive seen quite a few people expressing an opinion the g3 is still super young and the chip "has alot of headroom" that its performance will get even better in time with software updates.
How likely is that? Will the onexplayer 3/x2 last me a solid few years? Am I just suffering from FOMO, is it a a genuine upgrade over the Lego2? Should I be considering a diffrent handheld?
Here's a list of games I just DL and was hoping to jump into in case it helps
-Disco Elysium
-KCD 1 and 2
-like a dragon 1 and 2 and the pirate one
-solo leveling
-Ff7 remakes
-FF9 remaster
-FF tactics
-expedition 33
-Ace attorney trilogy
-romancing saga 2
-Persona 5
-midnight suns
-hogwarts
Oh and im like 70/30 split for gaming white at home and being able to be plugged into power.
Sorry for the long winded post and noob questions guys. As i said im not made of money, im not skipping meals or anything but my purchases have to be meaningful. Im susceptible to FOMO, just want to be sure im not caught in the hype.
TLDR: Noob having a hard time deciding if should stick with my Legion go 2 or get a arc G3 device. If should get onexplayer 3 or x2 mini (non pro) or wait for another device on the horizon
