Just ordered mine! Haven’t been this excited waiting for a package in so long! I was instantly sold upon seeing it on sale, and Maplestory being played on it lol
Nice feedback man! I'm nintendo switch user and now I want to extend the portable gaming experience to more modern games, and using the legion go as gaming and daily pc is awsome! thanks for the video
Getting my L Go today! 500$ AUD off, 999$. Love xmas sales. They actually have Ally X, Claw and Legion Go all same price 999$. Such a steal i think for that.
i love my legion go. I play dragon age at my dorm rn while i wait for my new laptop to come in. It's great and does exactly what it's supposed to. I just hope in the renditions they figure out how to get more power and specs into it.
I use my MSI Claw the same way, which I bought brand new for a crazy $245 - Core Ultra 7 version. The docking station makes these gaming consoles quite good everyday computers for a relatively good price
I like how you went into talking about accessories and use-cases, rather than the by the numbers run down of features and Benchmarks most reviews rely on. The magnetic sticker is a great idea The hottest thing about the Legion Go are the 2 USBc ports. Makes it more verstile than relying on 1 Dock to do it all. In general it seems like Lenovo RND just threw everything on it from all their departments. FPS mode is a neat idea as a makeshift mouse, but most channels claim it to be a party trick. Guess "Desktop and RTS Mode" doesn't have the same ring to it. I would sacrifce the feature to get another trackpad. Overall I'm more interessted in the 2nd Gen of the Legion Go and what refinements Lenovo will make. Even 3 years after the Steam Deck, Handheld PCs are a new market. ASUS and Lenovo pulled a lot from their Laptop experience, mostly hold back by the bloat of Windows11 and their custom software solutions. And ASUS shit the bed on customer service and needs to build up their reputation that wasn't great in the first place.
I'm also looking forward to the next generation of handheld pcs. Longer battery life and maybe more usb c ports are at the top of my list for things I want.
love the video its actually a really good review after having it for a long time, and the accessories the hub!! i want to buy all of this when i get my legion go to play maplestory!!
Amen dude. They coming a father is literally the only reason I got into these handheld PCs. You hit the nail on the head lol Even having them sometimes you're still even just too tired to game on a handheld too tired to game at all lol Great video bro
Very nice review, relaxing to listen to and without the stress of the actual "all the time fast talking" editing stile ;D I got my legion go just some weeks ago and I basicly use it the same way you do. It would be even capable to replace my main PC as I play mainly retro games but well... for now its there... After testing a lot, i just got rid of the AMD center and Legion Space software and replaced it with the handheld companion software. Way more options, faster, less problems and much more possibilitys of configuration. I've added a 5% deadzone to the analog sticks and now they are working very well, maybe that could be interesting for you, too.
@Atarix777 I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed my video 🙏🏿. I'll definitely look into handheld companion. I've been meaning to check it out, I just didn't want to potentially ruin what already works for me.
Ordered one should be here in 2 days can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm soooooooo sick and tired of xbox series x bs not finding/connecting to wifi every other week when every other device connects to it fine 😒
great ideo dude new sub here so basically the Lenovo is just a super tablet with asteroids lol defendltey going too get one for christmas by the way those cube world are so much nostalgic lol
@@joaquin-r3kI play world of Warcraft. In wow you can cap renderbox fps while graphical interface like nameplates above the characters run still at 144hz. I set it to 10w and disable the wow to use more than 2 cores. And limit the gpu clock to just run at 144fps and renderer compositor capped at 40 fps. It lasts 4h40 minutes. Same for the Turok2 or unreal tournament. You have to learn how to cap for and manually manage tdp and tdp balance between cpu and gpu by allowing as much cores game needs and lowering gpu frequency.
How about you make a video comparing it to an iPad Pro? I have a Legion Go and an iPad pro, and I havent touched my iPad pro for a month now because Legion Go is sooo much better in many ways. I think the Legion Go is the true iPad Pro Killer!!!
I also have both and I still use the iPad as my main media consumption device. The iPads speakers, screen quality + size and UI cannot be beat. Maybe if the legion go 2 has better speakers and slightly bigger screen it will be my iPad killer!!
@@OleksiiK21 Im glad you asked. I am an iPad power user (i try to do all things on my iPad, as my main workstation) and I’ve been doing all sorts of things for many many years since the iPad M1 first came out. Unfortunately, it seems that Apple has no plans to do this, so when I got a hand of the Legion Go last month, I realized that the Legion Go (when you don’t have the controllers attached to it), is the device that I wanted the iPad to be: highly portable tablet form factor, full desktop environment with compatibility with printers, monitors, etc., long battery life, with tons of productivity app available to get the job done (in my case I do programming, content creation, web sites, artificial intelligence, robotics, etc.) unfortunately, the iPads greatest weakness is the iPadOS. And this is the biggest advantage of the Legion Go: it is a full Windows 11 desktop, and can transform into a tablet. So it only makes sense to compare the Legion Go is with an iPad Pro because it is a very versatile, and capable handheld PC that can also be used as a gaming device.
Should I wait for the legion 2? My main games I wanna play are call of duty, Valorant,Apex Legends, league of legends, Monster Hunter, Rivals of Aether 1 and 2, Minecraft
If you can wait then ya sure, but I think the Legion Go is still a good buy right now. You can even get it heavily discounted second hand depending on where you live
I liked that you mentioned you had other handhelds as well.....lol and not just 1 or 2, it sounds you had all the big players.....well except the msi claw....and who is buying those i have no idea....or the ps one.....more sheeple.....lol
im in the situation for deciding on an ally x or this... the ally x is much more new and the legion is getting some age. i dont want to have the same situation where i bought the steam deck and then the oled came out like 3 months later. i wonder if there will be a new legion coming out any time soon.
I think the Ally X is a better buy overall with the improved battery life and design. Only go for the Legion Go if you care about the extra features like the removable controllers and the kickstand.
Nice Video, around last November i decided to go for the ROG Ally over the legion and honestly i have no regrets but i do wonder what i missed out on hence catching up with your channel :D....
Maplestory ? One Piece ? Salute my brother. Long time mapler here. However, I have a steam deck. I feel like controls would be eerie. But would have to try myself!
Debating getting one now that the Z1 Extreme 2TB is on sale at Microcenter for $630. Not sure if it's worth it with a Steamdeck OLED 2TB. Main reason I guess would be for Xbox Game Pass app/games and some games that just don't play nice with Steam Deck. Main drawback seems to be battery life and limited options for Wattage and refresh/FPS caps and dedicated game profiles like Steam deck to optimize efficiency and battery life.
how is it when running league of legends? I have a steam deck but valve don't support league anymore, so Im comparing the asus ally to the Lenovo legion go
Hey bro, new viewer thanks to a legendary UA-cam algorithm pull. Not sure if you have a story behind the mark on your finger so please forgive me. But Between my adhd and medicinal degree I’d like to encourage you to get it checked at a dermatologist as it could be Acral Melanoma or …just a mark. Wouldn’t hurt to check. Thanks for a great review, hope you continue to do well.
@cashfather15 I appreciate the view and the concern! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 The mark on my finger was from my camera tripod closing really fast and squishing my finger 😭. My finger is completely healed now though, and there's no sign of that mark at all anymore.
@ekafaathirrochman3481 I would recommend the Legion Go because it has more potential for both of those uses. The Legion Go can connect an external gpu using any of its usb c ports, whereas the rog Ally x only has 1 usb 4 port. The legion go has a built-in kick stand, wireless controllers with a trackpad, and one of those controllers can become a full-fledged mouse in a pinch. The gaming performance will be comparable between the two, but they have separate advantages, like the Ally x having a 120hz VRR display, and the Legion go having a bigger 8.8" 144hz QHD+ display. The main advantages of the Ally X are the bigger battery size, the extra ram, and the vrr capability. For purely handheld gaming I would probably recommend the Ally X. For a combination of everything I would go with the Legion Go.
@triwijadmico6009 I'm assuming you could see similar performance since it does have a bigger battery. People have shown that the steam deck is more efficient at lower tdp levels though, so I could be wrong. You may have to change the screen resolution or set it to 60hz to match the steam decks' efficiency.
@@triwijadmico6009 change the RAM speed to 6500 mtz and you’ll see better lower wattage, performance closer to the 1st gen ROG Ally Z1E, and battery life
@kntwing23 you can play fortnite for sure. You can also play xbox games in the xbox app built into Windows through streaming with gamepass or buying the individual games to download. For ps5 games, you can only play them if they are released on steam/xbox/ or any other pc game launcher. Switch games are playable with certain emulators, but those all take time to set up using very specific guides. How well each game runs depends on the game and your settings. Some games require more power than others, and some games don't. You just have to research specific games to see how they run on these handheld pcs. Generally, most games are playable.
@taolaomialao83 Yeah, it runs full windows, so anything your laptop can do, this can do. Obviously, the screen will be a lot smaller than most laptops, so you gotta work around that.
…had mine since launch…its window which opens up both hell and possibilites…it handles all emulation easily…pc gaming as expected struggles with overheating and shut downs…but remember for heavens sake thats its a handheld…battery life is horrible but actually ok considering the cpu power…if you think it will be a pc aaa gaming handheld…think again and be realistic…we are not there yet even if it is around the corner…the screen is fantastic and you dont need any oled fancy schmanzie…this is just all you need and the single most fantastic with this device…the screen is the last thing between gaming and the gamer and this is just big, bright and sharp!!!…tweaking and tinkering is endless and you have a sea of nerds doing nothing but discussing updates and complaining, rebooting, drivers, cpu, amd and such endlessly…but you dont need any of that to enjoy lenovo legion go…just throw it in and start gaming…its powerful enough not to fall into the tweaking bottomless tweaking pit…i love it and will keep it forever…
Honestly with the kinds of games I play, I haven't experienced many issues. I did have to change settings and stuff to play games like sonic frontiers or palworld more comfortably, but that's about it. Like you said it's a handheld, you just gotta work around it. I been enjoying my legion go a lot.
I dont think so. I think the legion go is a little too long to fit in that controller. You could definitely use it as a normal Bluetooth controller, though, or rotated in vertical orientation to play Nintendo Ds emulated games or something.
@@JamaltLee incase you didn't know you can also extend the galileo g8 plus to fit larger tablets I tried this with my galaxy s8 ultra recently but now I know it does work it now I guess we'll see if it fits when I get one in the future
That depens and what you do and how you configure the system. In my case, when i play retro stuff it runs about 2.5 to 3 hours, but if you play a AAA title then it will be more about 90 minutes... But as Jamal told, with a powerbank you will be good to go.
@abmamun4155 Yeah, basically what they said above^^. In certain easy to run games, I can push it to around 4 hours, but generally, you're not gonna get more than that for 99% of the games you play on this device.
If you buy a go and expect amazing battery life and have a fully portable computer that can play most triple a games you’re insane 3hrs off the charger is pretty decent to play cod then plug it up and continue most trains ,planes or cars have charger ports
Just ordered mine! Haven’t been this excited waiting for a package in so long! I was instantly sold upon seeing it on sale, and Maplestory being played on it lol
🔥🔥🔥
Same as me ^^
In time get a GPU for it for even further FPS.
Wtf... Is maple story still alive?
I've had it for about 6 months and I gotta say, it feels like this thing is getting better with time, it's an absolute monster
@christianguevara6459 2 hours or less not plugged in. depends on the resolution and graphics of the game.

That depens and what you do and how you configure the system. In my case, when i play retro stuff it runs about 2.5 to 3 hours, but if you play a AAA title then it will be more about 90 minutes... But as Jamal told, with a powerbank you will be good to go.
@@Atarix777 thanks a lot ❤️
@abmamun4155 Yeah, basically what they said above^^. In certain easy to run games, I can push it to around 4 hours, but generally, you're not gonna get more than that for 99% of the games you play on this device.
Anyone else finding themselves in the ‘task manager’ closing out a bunch of stuff before gaming? 😤
Sometimes
I didn't expect you to play Maplestory with that LOL
Portable Maplestory is the main reason why I became interested in these handheld PCs 😂
If you buy a go and expect amazing battery life and have a fully portable computer that can play most triple a games you’re insane 3hrs off the charger is pretty decent to play cod then plug it up and continue most trains ,planes or cars have charger ports
06:30 Same here...
no fckin way maplestory..imma buy that shit
Ain’t no way I just saw maplestory on your feed. I’m watching you more now
Not bad just doesn't seem to be as good of a device as you are saying it to be especially for that price
I just paid that price and haven’t touched any of my other devices since but whatever haha actually debating selling
My others now
It’s all about personal preference. You can also find these for like 500-600 CAD on fb market where I live.
@@JamaltLee aw that’s cool than I will look into it if I do you know Uncle JD will be coming to you for help cause I won’t know how to work it lol
Grand Chase ? Demm the nostalgia
mid the battery life is terrible
@@itzLuxe depends on what you're playing and how long you typically game.
@@JamaltLeeit's garbage, better wait for the next gen
10 hour gaming is for the bum children being brought up these days.
Good Lord, that desk is a mess. OK come on we’re adults. It should be waist straighter than that.
You wanna clean it for me?
I can’t express how much i dislike how fucking disorganized your desks are.
