   Oh my… wait, are they serious?

     Is it part of the standard packaging materal (good ending) or a throw-in addon (bad ending)?

     @Linux_in_a_Bit This is standard, but it feels like a joke. Even a little no-frills plastic stand would have been appreciated.

     I mean, it's a cool way to make normally 'straight to the bin' packing material into something useful...

     @Linux_in_a_Bit Agreed! I just wouldn't trust this thin and light cardboard to reliably hold a somewhat heavy device like this. That scares me!

     For more context, this new model of the Legion Go S does *not* have the built-in kickstand.

     This needs to be said: it's INFINITELY more comfortable than the Legion Go. It's barely a comparison. This Legion Go S feels like it was molded for my hands. Your palms just sink perfectly into the bottom corners.

     Pure joy to hold. Vastly better than the ROG Ally, and on par with Steam Deck.

     @Adam Hey Adam! This is the windows version. The SteamOS version launches in May and will be a black/dark violet color. BUT, SteamOS (and Bazzite, etc) should theoretically work on this model.

     I'll be installing it :D

     @killyourfm Nice! Is it the SteamOS version or Windows? I can't seem to tell from the pictures. I told them when previewing the Legion Go in 2023 that they should try SteamOS on it. :)

     @killyourfm Now if they'd offer the Legion Go 2 in a Steam OS version... Now we'd be talking!
