AFTech Review: Lenovo Legion Go

Big ideas shackled by gremlins galore

Lenovo’s big swing into the growing handheld PC space is exactly that: a huge, chunky multi-tool with a gorgeous screen that’s one keyboard away from being a workable laptop. The Switch-like (Switch-esque? Switch-ish?) controllers detach from the sides and reveal themselves to be a collection of programmable buttons and integrated scroll wheels. And one becomes an ergonomic mouse? You have to admire the absolute lunatic who pitched this to the top brass at Lenovo, wide-eyed in a manic haze, muttering promises of what what going to be stuffed into this handheld. 8.8 inch screen! 1600p resolution! At 144Hz?! With a full-fat Windows 11 install, 16GB RAM, and a Z1 Extreme processor that can rock up to 5GHz??!

Podcast: Inedia & It’s What’s Inside (& Transformers One)

Inedia & It's What's Inside

Greetings programs!  On this week’s show, we’re taking on two exciting films.  First up, a BC shot indie film that played as part of the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival, Inedia.  Then we turn our attention to a new Netflix release, the single-location mystery movie It’s What’s Inside.  Both films are exciting for some of the same and some entirely different reasons, and we have a lot to say about each of them!  Additionally, we talk about Transformers One for a few solid minutes, which means this episode covers three films we both liked!
