The real sale in this are the open box prices. Fair goes $493 for the Z1E, $368 for the Z2 Go; Good goes for $512 for the Z1E, $382 for the Z2 Go; Excellent goes for $532 for the Z1E, $396 for the Z2 Go.
That's actually very compelling for both. Yeah, in terms of Z1E it's the best on the market. SteamOS makes it perform better fairly close to the Xbox Ally X or the other Z2E machines and it's for half the price. Compared to the Windows versions it's just a good 10-15% better and if you're able to pick up one in Fair condition, amazing.
But that goes double for the Z2 Go. The chip is nothing impressive, it's actually quite similar to a Steamdeck, but it allows for higher TDP. That's what makes it compelling here because it quickly gets close to matching the other Z1E Windows machines, maybe 5-10% weaker to, say, an Ally X. At that price point it's pretty competitive. Personally I bit the bullet here since I had some reward certs to burn anyway and got to lower the price even further. Frankly none of the machines, even the new ones, are going to be running high end games from the past year or two at 60 FPS, so I can't justify spending a ton of money. For those games, I've got my desktop. For a $300-400 machine? Yeah, I'm okay with that.

It is, but if you can afford it, go for the Z1E one instead as all other Legion Go S models have 32GB of RAM.

The other Z1E deal posted for $650 is the much better buy (and arguably the best bang for your buck overall handheld PC right now) so get that one if you can afford it!

$512 for the Z1E is nuts. Considering the next offerings of the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2 are double or more the price for maybe 20% more performance is absolutely wild.

I'm so lost.

I ordered this best buy sku 6619188 in open box excellent condition.

The product box had previous purchaser's name and order number so it told me everything I needed to know on how much time Geek Squad must have done to verify it.

Now there's no steamOS on it and instead has windows. What's bonkers is that there's no Lenovo bloatware. Ain't no way Lenovo didn't put shovelware on it.

Help. How do I verify I got the right product? What serial and product numbers can I verify?

Did I come out better with a windows version or am I owed partial refund.

I feel like im going to want to upgrade in a year or two anyways, z1e is like $700 after tax for me and id want to also get geek squad protection for a purchase over $500 making it $800 minimum for like a year of protection. Anything over $500 I want to last over 2 years, so now its $848 with two years of protection. Now I'm spending near 1k for for a handheld while already having a console and gaming laptop. This is Lenovo, so you already know we'll have a new model next year.

Can anyone tell me if the z1 extreme with 32gb ram and 1tb is worth the extra 200.00 over this?
