Lenovo Legion G9 and Tab 4 : Transform Your Tablet Into a Gaming Beast
What if your everyday tablet could transform into a powerful gaming handheld, blurring the line between casual convenience and hardcore performance? The Lenovo Legion G9 controller and Legion Tab 4 promise exactly that. This dynamic duo reimagines portable gaming by merging the precision of a dedicated controller with the versatility of a high-performance Android tablet. Imagine diving into Genshin Impact or Fortnite with the responsiveness of hall-based analog sticks, or streaming your favorite PC titles via GeForce Now—all from a lightweight device that fits in your bag. It's not just a gadget; it's a bold statement that portable gaming doesn't have to compromise on quality or customization. In this deep dive, ETA Prime explores how the Legion G9 and Tab 4 work together to deliver a hybrid gaming experience that's as adaptable as it is powerful. From the 165Hz high-resolution display to the customizable Ultra Controller software, every detail has been designed to elevate your gameplay. Whether you're an Android gaming enthusiast, an emulator aficionado, or someone looking to expand their cloud gaming horizons, this setup offers something unique. But how does it stack up against dedicated handhelds like the Steam Deck? And is it the right fit for your gaming needs? Let's unpack the possibilities and see how this pairing might just redefine what you expect from portable gaming. Lenovo Legion G9 Overview Legion G9 Controller: Precision Meets Customization The Legion G9 controller is engineered to enhance your gaming sessions by focusing on comfort, precision, and adaptability. Its ergonomic design, lightweight build, and textured grip ensure that extended gaming sessions remain comfortable. The inclusion of hall-based analog sticks and linear triggers improves durability and accuracy, addressing common issues like stick drift found in traditional controllers. Customization is a defining feature of the G9 controller. With the Ultra Controller software, you can program buttons, adjust RGB lighting, and configure macro keys to suit your playstyle. The controller also includes four interchangeable thumbsticks, allowing you to fine-tune responsiveness and grip. Its USB-C connection ensures low-latency performance, seamlessly integrating with the Legion Tab 4 for a smooth and responsive gaming experience. Lenovo Legion Tab 4: A Gaming Tablet Built for Performance At the heart of this gaming setup is the Lenovo Legion Tab 4, a tablet designed to meet the demands of modern gamers. Its 8.8-inch high-resolution display features a 165Hz refresh rate, delivering fluid visuals and vibrant colors. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the Tab 4 ensures lag-free performance, even for the most demanding Android games and applications. The Tab 4 is built with portability and convenience in mind. Dual USB-C ports allow for simultaneous charging and external display connectivity, while front-firing speakers enhance audio quality for an immersive experience. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to carry, and the camera remains accessible even when docked with the G9 controller, making sure the device retains its full functionality beyond gaming.

Seamless Gaming and Software Integration The synergy between the Legion G9 controller and the Tab 4 is amplified by robust software integration. The Ultra Controller software simplifies tasks such as button mapping, firmware updates, and game launches. For Android games with native controller support, such as Genshin Impact and Fortnite, the setup delivers a seamless and intuitive experience. For titles lacking native support, the touchpoint mapping feature bridges the gap, making sure compatibility across a wide range of games. This setup extends its capabilities beyond Android gaming. It supports popular emulators like Dolphin and PS2, allowing you to revisit classic titles with ease. Additionally, cloud gaming services such as GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming expand your library, allowing you to stream high-quality games without relying on local hardware. This versatility makes the Legion G9 and Tab 4 combination a powerful hybrid solution for gamers. How It Compares: Finding Its Place in the Market The Legion G9 and Tab 4 occupy a unique position in the gaming market. The setup is larger yet lighter than devices like the Steam Deck OLED, making it an attractive option for users who prioritize portability and Android gaming. However, it may not fully replace dedicated gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck or Legion Go, especially for those seeking an all-in-one gaming solution with integrated ecosystems. This combination is particularly well-suited for gamers who already own or plan to purchase the Legion Tab 4, as the G9 controller is specifically designed for this tablet. Its hybrid functionality also appeals to users looking for a device that can transition seamlessly between gaming and traditional tablet use. For those invested in the Lenovo Legion ecosystem, this setup offers a tailored and optimized experience. Additional Features to Enhance Your Experience The Legion G9 and Tab 4 come equipped with several additional features to optimize your gaming experience. An optional cooling system is available to maintain performance during extended gaming sessions, making sure the hardware remains reliable under heavy use. The setup also supports PC game streaming through platforms like Steam Link, allowing you to access your PC gaming library on the go. It is important to note that the G9 controller is not a universal solution for all tablets. Its size and compatibility are specifically tailored to the Lenovo Legion Tab 4, making it best suited for users already invested in the Lenovo Legion ecosystem. This targeted design ensures a seamless and efficient integration, but it may limit its appeal to those using other devices. A Hybrid Solution for Android Gaming Enthusiasts The Lenovo Legion G9 controller and Legion Tab 4 deliver a powerful and versatile gaming experience, combining high-performance hardware with advanced customization options. While it may not replace dedicated gaming handhelds for every user, it offers a unique solution for Android gaming enthusiasts seeking a hybrid device. Whether you're exploring native Android games, revisiting classics through emulators, or streaming PC titles, this setup provides the tools to elevate your gaming experience. By blending portability, performance, and adaptability, the Legion G9 and Tab 4 redefine what is possible in the realm of portable gaming.

'I have great plans and ambitions': Noah Hawley's multi-season vision for 'Alien: Earth' has me counting down like it's Christmas
Ask literally anyone in my life what I talk about most, and I'd bet 100 facehuggers they'll say 'Alien.' Considering this is my favorite franchise and a full-blown obsession at this point, 'Alien: Earth' is naturally my most anticipated series of the year. The sci-fi horror show is fast approaching. We're now just under a month out and with the world premiere happening at San Diego Comic-Con next week, the marketing has kicked into high gear. That includes the latest issue of SFX magazine, which features 'Alien: Earth' on the cover and showrunner Noah Hawley sharing more about his vision for the series' future. He said (h/t GamesRadar Plus): 'With Legion, I had a three-act structure. I didn't know if that was going to take three seasons or five seasons, but I knew what the three major thoughts of the story were. And here, I feel like I have that as well." Hawley continued: 'We created it as a recurring series, and I have great plans and ambitions for it as such. On the film side, I've had some conversations with them. 'This is not a Kevin Feige Marvel Universe moment. I'm not saying that in success, that we shouldn't be coordinating or thinking big picture about that – the show has to be a hit before you can really have those conversations.' I didn't know my excitement could grow for 'Alien: Earth,' but here we are. The fact that Hawley has long-term plans already shows he has faith in the series, where it's headed, and how it can tie into the larger universe. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In fact, when speaking with Vanity Fair about the possibility of it merging with the original source material, he stated, 'I do know that at a certain point, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation is going to divert the Nostromo to that planet [LV-426].' You know, the charming little rock where curiosity gets you violently killed. Honestly, I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas. Only instead of presents, I'm waiting for Xenomorphs, corporate cover-ups, and even more otherworldly threats. If I could climb into a hypersleep pod and wake up on release day, I would. 'Alien: Earth' is set to premiere on FX on Hulu in the U.S. on August 12, and Disney Plus in the U.K on August 13.

Built Like A Tank, Lights Like A Disco! Meet The Beast Of A Gaming Laptop, Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 2025
Subscribe to our FREE The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 is among the latest gaming laptops to feature aggressively high-end specifications. It follows the current trend of adopting RTX 5000 series GPUs and next-generation AI processors. With this model, Lenovo continues to solidify its Legion Pro lineup as a primary choice for users seeking a premium gaming laptop experience. Unquestionable Specs Recently, we had the opportunity to test the Legion Pro 7i to assess its performance and build quality. From this brief experience, it is clear Lenovo's Legion lineup remains true to its reputation as a machine built for serious gaming, not just a laptop with attractive specs on paper. The Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 comes equipped with flagship-level specifications suitable for users demanding the best gaming performance from a laptop. Here are the specifications of the unit we tested : Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX NVIDIA RTX 5080 16GB ( upgradable ) 32GB RAM (16GB x 2, upgradable ) 16-inch OLED display with 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate 1TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD with two available slots ( upgradable ) 80Wh battery ( upgradable ) WiFi 7 support (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Solid Build Quality Without Compromise The physical build of the Legion Pro 7i is impressive. There is no screen wobble while typing. The screen opens up to 135 degrees and can be lifted with one hand without holding the base. The front edge of the display protrudes slightly when closed making it easy to lift with a single finger. The matte finish gives it a premium look but it easily attracts fingerprints. Avoid touching this laptop after eating greasy food or you will regret it. Sorry pisang goreng lovers, no movies and snacking for you. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Size & Weight Within Expectations With a 16-inch display and weighing around 2.6 kilograms or 3.8 kilograms including the 400W charger the Legion Pro 7i falls into the heavier category for gaming laptops. However it is not the heaviest in its class and remains lighter than some competitors even with the large charger included. Keyboard and Stylish RGB Lighting The keyboard offers satisfying tactile feedback with a clicky response. While not exactly silent it is still pleasant to type on. Lenovo also offers optional ceramic keycaps for the WASD keys and additional switches. These are available as an (Credit: Zikry/TRP) The plastic touchpad feels slightly less premium, but it was rarely used throughout testing since a mouse is the preferred input method. Perhaps the upcoming Legion 9 will feature a glass touchpad. As for RGB lighting, there are three brightness levels and six lighting effects. The RGB lights are not limited to the keyboard but extend to the front rear and logo. All lighting can be customized via the Legion Space app. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Audio Performance Surpasses Expectations The Legion Pro 7i comes equipped with front-facing speakers and dual bottom-side speakers. Bass is punchier and clearer than expected for a gaming laptop. Still, for serious gaming, headphones or earphones remain the better choice. For casual entertainment, the built-in speakers are more than sufficient. A simple decibel test was also conducted using the Decibel X app. Songs were played at both half and full volume with the microphone placed approximately 25 to 30 centimeters from the speakers. (From left: Volume 50%, Volume 100%) Ports & Cooling System Designed for Practicality (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Compared to previous generations, there are no longer any ports at the back. That area is now dedicated entirely to ventilation. Personally, ports at the back would be better for cable management but this update is practical as hands will not feel as much heat when using a mouse on the right side. Here is the new port arrangement: Right Side: 2x USB Type-A 5Gbps 3.2 Gen 1 3.5mm audio jack Physical camera switch 2.5Gb LAN Left Side: Power port HDMI 2.1 Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C 4 40Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps DisplayPort 2.1 65 to 140W charging USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 2 Battery Life Acceptable, but Always Better Plugged In Battery performance is decent for light workloads and creative applications lasting about four hours under capped performance. However, for gaming, it is best to always keep it plugged in. This laptop is not for those prioritizing portability, but rather for users who understand the concept of performance over mobility. Without a charger, performance will naturally be limited as there is not enough power to fully drive the GPU. Performance Modes, Camera & Microphone (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Performance modes can be switched easily via the FN and Q shortcut between: Auto Mode (White) Silent Mode (Blue) Performance Mode (Red, only available when plugged in) Alternatively, settings can be customized through the Legion Space app. The 1440p camera is adequate but nothing exceptional. Performance in low-light conditions is acceptable. As for the microphone, its quality is basic and serves its purpose for standard use. Personal Feedback and Minor Drawbacks (Credit: Zikry/TRP) After two weeks of testing this high-end gaming laptop, there is little to criticize. However the OLED screen is more reflective than expected and is more comfortable to use in a dark room with curtains closed. Those accustomed to entry-level VA IPS or TN monitors, might need some adjustment time. In terms of performance, no issues arose. Most AAA games run smoothly on ultra settings with frame rates exceeding expectations. (Credit: Zikry/TRP) Expensive? Yes, Worth It? Also Yes The Legion Pro 7i can be Its price may seem steep, but as expected from a device in this class, it delivers premium build quality, consistent performance and unique features. Starting from RM14,112.11 (now RM11,872.01 with 15% off ) up to RM19,010.26 (fully upgraded), this is a purchase unlikely to disappoint. If not.. Hey at least you get RGBs?

Council approves Veterans Memorial Crosswalk in Napanee
A new crosswalk in Downtown Napanee will memorialize veterans. The Town Council of Greater Napanee heard a deputation from Tiffany Lloyd of Greater Napanee Connect at their Regular Meeting on Tuesday, Jul. 8, 2025, requesting a Veterans Memorial Crosswalk. After reviewing the design and plans , the Council approved the new crosswalk in principle, with an official vote scheduled for the next Council meeting on Tuesday, Jul. 22, 2025. Lloyd kept her presentation short because the crosswalk had been discussed at Council a number of times. A Fire Truck Pull to raise the funds for the crosswalk received Council's approval and took place in the spring. 'I do want to thank Mayor Richardson for serving as judge on the fundraiser, the Town staff for their amazing support with the road closure, the fire department for everything they did, least of which was the use of the truck, the Legion for hosting the barbecue and lending their full support, volunteers, teams, sponsors, community members, everybody who came together to make this a reality,' Lloyd said. Lloyd asked that the Veterans Memorial crosswalk be placed at the bottom of John Street, directly in front of the Legion. She explained that the Napanee Legion Branch had approved the design and the location. It features bold red and white stripes, a soldier silhouette, and the words 'Lest We Forget.' Lloyd confirmed, 'I've spoken with Michael Nobes of Public Works, who confirms there are no technical objections to this location, pending Council approval. We also have a quote from Online Kingston for the painting work. We respectfully request that the Council approve the proposed crosswalk location in front of the Legion.' Richardson expressed gratitude to Lloyd and her new nonprofit, Greater Napanee Connect. 'The crosswalk is going to look magnificent in the location… and it's refreshing to see the municipality and the community come together for something like this,' the mayor said. Greater Napanee Connect is a volunteer-driven community enrichment organization in Greater Napanee, led by Lloyd, dedicated to fostering connections and engagement among residents, businesses, and non-profits. It aims to foster community spirit, encourage volunteerism, promote local initiatives, and bridge the gap between the private sector and local government. The idea for a veterans' memorial crosswalk arose in response to negative social media posts that criticized the installation of a Pride crosswalk in the town four years ago. Greater Napanee Pride initiated the crosswalk, and member Brad Way began a social media campaign to raise funds for the rainbow crosswalk in 2021. Greater Napanee Pride has since done yearly fundraising for the upkeep and replacement of the crosswalk. Some negative social media comments suggested that the Town should install a crosswalk for veterans rather than a Pride-themed crosswalk, despite the fact that no public funds were allocated for the Pride-themed crosswalk project. Lloyd, who is Vice President of Greater Napanee Pride, and others explained online how that project came to be, but were met with only complaints that 'someone' should do the same thing for a veterans crosswalk. So, after challenging others to put their money where their 'keyboard warrior' mouths were to no avail, Lloyd decided she would be that 'someone.' 'I, like many other people in this community, have wanted a veterans crosswalk for a while. I was happy to be part of the original organizing group that brought the veterans banners to Napanee, I invite the legion to every event we host to run a fundraising barbecue —- whether that's Pride, the fire truck pull, or the upcoming Guitars n' Cars —- and I always make sure to attend a Remembrance Day service,' Lloyd explained. 'In some ways, a veterans crosswalk is no different than a Pride crosswalk —- they are both projects that share the same goal: to use our public spaces to lift up what we value. On one side, diversity, and on the other side, a respect for those who serve.' Lloyd continued, reiterating that the Pride crosswalk is paid for by 'businesses and individuals in our community who want a clear visual that says that 'Everyone is welcome here.'' 'This shouldn't be political. It's simply an affirmation of belonging for 2SLGBTQIA community members, friends, and family we have here who have too often felt excluded,' Lloyd imparted. 'The goal is always to build a more connected and compassionate Greater Napanee.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.
