Lenovo and Asus handheld owners warned as Ryzen Z1 Extreme driver support reportedly ends — lack of official updates threatens longevity for Legion Go, Go S, and ROG Ally X devices on Windows 11

Asus ROG Ally X.

A series of reports, both online and from hardware manufacturers, suggest that AMD has dropped support for one of its major handheld APUs after just two and a half years. While the company itself hasn’t directly addressed this issue so far, it appears that new driver support for devices running with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme has ended.

If confirmed, it would mean that several high-end handheld gaming PCs from recent years running Windows 11, including the top-level Asus ROG Ally and Asus ROG Ally X, as well as the Lenovo Legion Go and Go S, will no longer receive new drivers and haven’t for several months.
