Seems like a lot of online stores are selling this cheaper, here are a few:

Dicksmith: https://www.dicksmith.com.au/da/buy/tristar-online-lenovo-le…

https://www.dicksmith.com.au/da/buy/lenovo-legion-go-z1-extr… (sold directly by Dick Smith and not a third party - note presale and delivery dates)

Kogan: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/tristar-online-lenovo-legion-go…

Same for Kogan, sold directly by them (pre-sale) - Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme (512GB) https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/lenovo-legion-go-z1-extreme-512…

MyDeal: https://www.mydeal.com.au/lenovo-legion-go-z1-extreme-gaming…

Rebeelo: https://reebelo.com.au/products/lenovo-legion-go-handheld-ga…

Amazon ($200 discount coupon can be applied): https://www.amazon.com.au/Lenovo-Legion-Extreme-Gaming-Conso…

There are a few others like WiseMarket as well but never heard of them so not posting the link.

JB Hi-fi - I tried to price-match with JB-Hi-Fi - the best they could offer was $1399, basically $100 off & they quoted the others are likely 'grey' import & don't have the warranty like they do.

Anyway, this is my first post by the way, I'm just sharing what I've found as I've been monitoring the price of this for a number of weeks now hoping it would go down in price. Tempted to go with either DickSmith or Reebeloo. Never bought anything from Reebeloo but for an extra $99 they provide a 2-yr accidental & breakage coverage which includes liquid damage, not sure if anyone can share this exp with Reebeloo pls?

    Price(s) in title?

    Price in title please? Also seller on Amazon is Skyradar with an 88% positive rating. Take that as you will.

    If the Asus ROG Ally is anything to go by, this Lenovo Legion might drop further in coming months or even during Boxing Day. I'd still keep an eye out for now (not that I am in the market for a new handheld lol).

  • BlueyDad on 04/12/2023 - 10:33

    Sorry, have updated

  • freefall101 on 04/12/2023 - 10:34

    All of these are sold by third party vendors, not the site you linked to (the first 3 are the same company). So definitely grey stock.

    • RichardL on 04/12/2023 - 10:37

      not the site you linked to (the first 3 are the same company)

      All linked marketplaces are sold by Tristar Online (including the Amazon store; Skyradar)

      • freefall101 on 04/12/2023 - 12:27

        Ah cheers, I didn't realise the Amazon one was the same (and I think my script blocker broke Reebelo's site), thanks.

        88% on Amazon is off putting, someone got the wrong power adaptor, some battery issues on products and clearly grey imports. For $200 saving on a $1400 item that's new to market and first generation, I'm not taking the risk.

  • BlueyDad on 04/12/2023 - 10:36

    Are grey stock bad?

    • BigPeeper on 04/12/2023 - 10:42
      +6

      No, it just means they were imported from another market. The main problem here is they are all sold under 3rd party vendors meaning warranty claims are made through them rather than the website you bought it from. Who knows how good these 3rd parties are or if they'll still be in business by the time you need to warranty

      • BlueyDad on 04/12/2023 - 10:44

        True, makes sense

    The LTT/Shortcircuit review of this gave me second thoughts about picking up one of these. It seems the mouse movement/trackpad is dogshit and the Legion Go UI is basic and a terrible browser-based experience. Probably both fixable by Software Updates, but definitely a deal-breaker for me until they're patched.

    • kamykazi on 04/12/2023 - 12:19

      All those things sound like early life teething issues that can potentially be fixed with software updates.

      • The Value on 04/12/2023 - 15:42

        This is true. Asus have been great with the ROG Ally. It's a much better machine than it was 6 months ago.

        Let's see what Lenovo does.

    • Lebofly on 04/12/2023 - 14:37

      We have one, and none of the issues he had. I don't think he gives it a fair chance, pressing hard on the track pad like he's 12 years old

    • GunnerMcDagget on 04/12/2023 - 14:39

      Haven't noticed the trackpad or mouse movement issues myself, but I don't use mouse mode that often. Trackpad works just as good as Steamdeck IMO. Legion Space (Go UI) is rubbish though. I don't use it. Just use the quick menus, and windows for the rest of it.

      Only issue I have had with that set up is that Ubisoft Connect has scrolling issues. Even though it has controller support, you can't scroll so it's very difficult to scroll down through games.

  • AzK on 04/12/2023 - 12:15

    any different to the one direct from lenovo?

  • kaikor on 04/12/2023 - 13:08

    Anyone use this just like a normal PC and dock it to monitor, mouse & keyboard? I wonder if I just keep my old macbook and have this just to play PC games rather than buying another laptop.

    • kamykazi on 04/12/2023 - 13:26

      That would work as you described. This is essentially just a Windows 11 gaming pc.

    • RetroMetro on 04/12/2023 - 14:15
      +2

      yea typing of my legion go right now. It's basically just a windows machine in handheld format. What's also a really neat feature is you can connect to an EGPU to convert into a full gaming setup.

      • kaikor on 04/12/2023 - 14:26

        so which docking station you recommend for this?

    • The Value on 04/12/2023 - 18:18

      You can get a 4050/4060 laptop for the same price as the Legion Go and the laptop will utterly trounce the Legion Go in performance.

    Been wanting to get one of these too, but didnt get it when lenovo had 20% cashback + this was discounted. Really dropped the ball.

    Now everything seems expensive in comparison

    • KenDiaMoi on 05/12/2023 - 16:40
      +1

      Doubt many people are getting this for emulation, or else theyd get a lower powered device.

      Pretty sure most would get this for pc gaming on the go.

    Just want to call out and would like someone to verify….the link above suggest/maybe it's not a grey import? Says it's supplied by dick smith rather than some third party. Am I reading that correctly? Note it's presale so not in stock…I assume waiting on Lenovo to give them stock? Or am I dreaming and still a grey import?

    • The Value on 05/12/2023 - 20:06
      +1

      When it's imported, they have the "Direct Import" banner in the description.

      Check out their Steam Deck listings. Sold by Dick Smith but still a "Direct import".

      • BlueyDad on 05/12/2023 - 21:36

        Ok cool that's good to know, I don't see a banner on that one but then neither on the another one that is sold through Tristar.

  • BlueyDad on 05/12/2023 - 21:41

    Ill contact JB tomorrow and reference that link for Kogan and DickSmith (presale ones) and see what they can offer else I'm gonna pull the trigger and go with either of those since it's not via a third party. Preference is to go directly via Lenovo AU but they don't even know when they will get stock and aren't allowing any more pre-orders. I'll let you all know how it goes.

    • KenDiaMoi on 06/12/2023 - 10:55

      How'd you go

      • BlueyDad on 06/12/2023 - 11:35
        +1

        JB offered $75 off so $1425…..guess no deal with them.

        Have gone and pre-ordered via Dick Smith.

          Thanks for the response. I was trying to get the rog ally at 1099, like the deal from a few days ago and they also offered me $50 off.

    I just bought one through Kogan's eBay store. $1183 delivered after applying a $100 off eBay coupon. (SNSMD6Y5XPXFDX7M)
    eBaylink
    Says delivery this week and free 4 day shipping.

    Hopefully that's correct.

    They have the ROG Ally for $1112 as well.

    • thaikhoa on 15/12/2023 - 17:24

      Hello,

      Have you got your one yet?

      I've just got my one from Dicksmith (Kogan) and found out the Lenovo Seal was broken and it was re-sealed by 2 layers of tape then they've placed a Security Check label on it.

      I hesitate to open the box now.

      Do you experience the same?

      Regards,
      Khoa

      • BlueyDad on 15/12/2023 - 19:08

        Waiting for mine, arriving Monday.

      • BlueyDad on 15/12/2023 - 19:09

        Take a photo and complain, it's meant to be new….will let you know if it's the same for me.

        • thaikhoa on 15/12/2023 - 19:46

          Taken some photos already. I haven't opened it yet. I believe there will be the legion go box with factory seal inside.

      • thaikhoa on 15/12/2023 - 19:59

        • thaikhoa on 15/12/2023 - 20:03

          What do you guys think? Should I open the box? Can't wait to use, if it's a return/refurbished one, I'm screwed.

          • BlueyDad on 16/12/2023 - 07:08

            @thaikhoa: I would open it. That's just the delivery box? As long as the actual Lenovo Legion go box is unopened then I think it's fine.

      • ComK on 15/12/2023 - 23:17

        I opened mine, its the Chinese version probably they opened it to change the language to English, however I had a problem where it returned back to Chinese in some parts of windows (mainly settings) after the update, had to install a fresh version of windows on it.
        On the plus side all the drivers on lenovo website are working fine and its as new now.

        • BlueyDad on 16/12/2023 - 07:22

          Wait you mean the actual Legion go box was opened?

          • BlueyDad on 16/12/2023 - 07:26

            @BlueyDad: Actually ..ignore of course it would be opened of they had to change it to English…

        • ComK on 16/12/2023 - 10:44

          Yes it was I also confirmed from Lenovo website its Chinese serial number, the recovery media language is chinese, I am good with the $300 saving but they missed out saying this is Grey market stock

        • ComK on 16/12/2023 - 10:48

          If you plan to open and do the same, prepare a USB c hub with Ethernet because this is the first time I see windows not automatically detecting the wlan driver and it is needed to continue.

          • thaikhoa on 16/12/2023 - 11:13

            @ComK: Hello,
            Thanks for your info.
            So it's confirmed that the outer box and the inter box are opened in the first place?
            Is there anything that can be considered as used or missing?

            I'm afraid of when there will be something broken with the system It's really hard to return because the customer service is nothing.

      • iwantalogin on 17/12/2023 - 23:40

        Yeah it arrived on Thursday. Box was open on mine too. Also logged in with a windows 11 pro licence activated. The device itself is only licensed for win 11 home which I found out after I did a fresh install.

        Couldn't get rid of all the Chinese text so blew it all away.

        Thought that was a bit dodgy. I messaged Kogan but haven't got a reply.

        Otherwise it's awesome.

        • BlueyDad on 18/12/2023 - 12:12

          Lol good to know .

        • BlueyDad on 19/12/2023 - 12:38

          Setting mine up now. Reg language pretty sure you don't need a fresh install. I'll let you know if it works, I'm updating the languages via the windows setting language and region to Australia + also setting the Administrative Language Setting (it's currently set to China) to AU. I think that will fix the issue. I'll find out once all the upgrade is complete as it requires a restart.

        • BlueyDad on 19/12/2023 - 13:15
          +1

          Ok, had to do one additional step. So in the language and region setting, once you've set up English (Australia) as the preferred language, also change in the Administrative Language Setting 'Welcome Screen and New User Accounts' and Language for non-Unicode programs - change both of those to AU language as well. Remember to use the 'copy your current settings to: 'welcome screen' and new user account'.

          It will require a restart but after that no more Chinese will come up. Hope this helps.

          • thaikhoa on 19/12/2023 - 22:46

            @BlueyDad: Thanks for the info, will try.
            Got it to work, thank you.

    • BlueyDad on 15/12/2023 - 19:07

      You got it yet?

      • thaikhoa on 15/12/2023 - 19:48

        Yes just got it this afternoon. I purchased the go on Wednesday.

  • BlueyDad on 12/12/2023 - 16:19

    Just saw that as well, seems like a good deal. Kogan must have gotten their stock in. Still nothing for Z1 Extreme on Lenova AU website, says coming soon lol.

  • BlueyDad on 19/12/2023 - 12:40

    What kinda sucks is the memory. Looks like by default there is 200 gigs set aside for Windows (separate drive C:) and leaves us with 272 Gigi in drive D for games. I'll have to look into SD card or upgrading SSD to 1TB one day.

  • BlueyDad on 19/12/2023 - 12:44

    First impression: big and chunky (more than what I was expecting). But I'm comfortable with the chuckniness and also windows so no complaints at this stage. Gonna set it all up, give it a quick test drive, then put it back in the box to open on Xmas day.

    • thaikhoa on 19/12/2023 - 22:49

      FYI, update new bios v28 on the lenovo website, update legion space. Set VRAM to 6G.
      When playing low TDP 15-20W try to set 6400 ram in the bios. It will boost performance because 7500 uses more power and GPU will be lower frequency than the default at that TDP.

  • Doorstep4267 on 11/01/2024 - 22:38

    Hi, I bought from kogan as well. Has anyone able to redeem the free X box game pass? The pass in my lenovo go seems missing.
