  • This is the 4CU Z1, not the more interesting 12CU Z1 Extreme, for anyone wondering.

    The author isn’t particularly clear about this, equating it interchangeably (within the very first sentence) to both the 4CU ROG Ally and 12CU Lenovo Legion Go. Towards the end, they state that the Z1 is “still firmly below the Ally,” the latter of which can be had in both Z1 and Z1E variants.

    Admittedly, AMD isn’t particularly helping the situation with their disparate naming conventions, but still. Different performance tiers.

    You could try using a small microfiber cloth with alcohol (you did mention previously trying IPA, but avoid using acetone as it can affect the substrate around the IHS) and even pressure to get a consistent movement while cleaning. If you brush your fingernail gently across the surface, do you feel texture? If so, it’s likely light abrasion and further cleaning won’t help.

    It’s essentially cosmetic, you can apply new paste and carry on as normal. Paste is designed to fill those small imperfections to begin with, and you won’t notice once you start using your system. :)

    I did some light digging, but it would appear that the updated file simply hasn’t been made available yet. This could mean that the page was taken down until it can be updated to include the new revision. Give it a few days, but after that perhaps check in on the Intel support forums to see if it’s just a server side goof.
