![BEST Gaming Handheld in 2024!? [Steam Deck OLED | Ally X | Legion Go | Claw]](/img/tr.png)
Which one would you choose?
If I had the money I really like the Asus
@@MatthewMoniz Legion Go due to the bigger display and almost same performance. Currently using the Steam Deck LCD
I bought the go because screen size . I'll buy Aly if the put bigger screen . Hope next Gen come with oled8.8 inch . Honestly for me these device are future , replaced my laptops with a dock dual hdmi 2.1 and display port . I can connect everything on that and take the legion on the go when needed. Still paying for my geforce ultimate to play some game supported at max setting.
I mean, 80 wh battery is HUGE
The black one :)
Had both and the screen on the LeGo won me over plus all the updates have truly made it so much better
Has the gameplay difference been noticeable from the two & which would you recommend for a first handheld purchase?
@@davids1556 so after having both for awhile now I gotta say the X blows the Go out of the water in terms of performance… not in fps because they are both about the same, but in smoothness. If you have the money I would definitely recommend the X over the Go.
@@destroyaX For games like Fortnite, call of duty, last of us, god of war & those style games would you still recommend the X over the go?
@@davids1556 haven’t tried Fortnite but mw3 kept crashing on me on the Go, even when I finally got it to run it was super choppy, haven’t had that in the X. Same goes for the single player games, you’ll definitely get a smoother experience due to the extra ram and vrr
@destroyaX in my opinion your wrong if you don't get any FPS higher than 60 FPS your probably using its default and not tampering with it cause the Rog Ally delivers more frames then the legion go so their not the same in terms of fps an I'm speaking from the 1st gen rog ally the x having more ram makes it 10x more better performance wise.
Had my Legion Go since launch, took several months of faffing with settings and updates. It's finally becoming a console like experience. Boots straight into Playnite without Windows login, hibernates when power button tapped and starts back into the game when turned on. The Ally X is intriguing but for what it's worth, I'll be waiting for next gen handlehelds that come with Strix Point RDNA 3.5 Radeon 880M APU's.
Ally X is the best handheld hands down
Legion go is severely under rated. The display is phenomenal and the detachable sticks is a joy to use.
Are* a joy to use.
But software is bad, speakers are horrible and battery is inexistant
I like how the legion go looks less like a gaming device propped up without a controller. usable as a tablet
No its the most overrated for sure
@@wastonleil2629 All of that can be fixed if you know what you're doing. Also, battery isn't really that bad, considering it has bigger and better screen.
I originally went to Best Buy for an Ally but when I saw the size difference in person, the Legion Go was a no brainer.
Are the side and back buttons issues? Looks like they would constantly get in the way.
@_Versz Not at all. They're only functional when you remove the controllers from the side and use it in "FPS" mode.
How’s the legion go been for you? I was just looking into both of these, also considering the portal! My main reason is I want to game in my down time at work & when I’m feeling like gaming in bed
@davids1556 It's great! It's gotten even better after the recent update too! I'd highly recommend picking one up
@@davids1556i have legion go, only issue is the battery, get a 100w powerbank and done
i had the original ally and the legion go. in the beginning it liked the ally more but the go had grown on me with every update and i cant go to the ally anymore because of the smaller and less colourfull screen. i really hope that levono brings out a second go next year
I went with the legion go because removable controllers. Can be turned into a wicked powerful tablet. Clear winner for me.
Had my legion go for almost a year now, being able to take it to a hotel and play actual competitive titles with the 144hz screen has been amazing.
Is Legion comfortable to play on the bed? I WOrry about eargonomic
@@Insidia85 I wouldnt hold it over your face lol. realistically i wouldnt hold any of these handhelds over my face.
I bought legion go my all friends sold Asus and steam 😅😅
@@bilalkhichi6554 Im about to sell my iPad Air and iPad Pro because I haven't used them for a month now, since I bought the Legion Go. It's my portable PC (I paired LeGo with a Microsoft Folding Keyboard and Microsoft Arc Mouse). When the LGo is on powersaving mode, I lasts for about 5 - 7 hours, and I don't have to worry about any workarounds that I used to do when I use the iPad to do productive things. Windows OS is the secret to this device. Many gamers would disagree with me, but I don't mind it, since I am not a hardcore gamer. I use Legion Go as an ultra mobile PC, and playing games on it is just a bonus for me.
@@Insidia85 it is very comfortable. I either lay face down, pillow tucked under my head, or back against my pillow/wall while laying down. Then I put up the kickstand either on my torso for head against my wall or in front of my pillow for face down. I finally take the controllers off the device and hold them however way is most comfortable and use it like a regular controller. controller battery life is massive as well, so you will likely never run out of battery on the controllers before the device runs out of battery.
I went with LeGo because of screen size as well as aspect ratio. 16:10 is great for emulator because it offers more vertical space for 4:3 retro games. The black bars on 16:9 games aren't a big deal on an 8.8" screen as they are on a 7" screen.
Went for the legion go. I play fighting games mostly so I never really need to push higher framerates than 60, which generally allows me to run full resolution and really take advantage of the screen size difference. And since I'm usually connecting a fightstick, I just take the controllers off and use the touchscreen to launch games, making it a lot less bulky. Can also adjust how much memory is reserved for games in the bios, which helps narrow that small performance gap, since I'm generally not multitasking and disable a lot of default windows functions.
The only really bad things about the go is I wish I could disable their Legion store button entirely since I'll never use the launcher, and that the d-pad is terrible for fighters so if I was ever stuck without my stick or just wanted to play it as is, I find it impossible not to drop inputs.
@@k-jsr Why go with a handheld if you're mainly interested in a big screen and using an external controller, though?
I chose the Legion Go, I love the Ally x for its VRR, more ram and battery, but I think those last two features especially the battery should have been implemented in the normal Ally, I feel that the Ally X is a kind of “Ally pro” like other console companies do, correcting small things and charging 400 usd more I don't see the point, but if you keep the same z1 processor no matter how much ram you use the performance difference is not that big and the last updates of the Legion have left it very well refined playing Baldurs Gate on high at 1000p between 45/55 fps at 25w and not even reaching 65c is beautiful.
Update: By mistake I saw the price in euros and did not realize, if you do not have any the purchase is worth it, the difference with the normal Z1 extreme are at this time 100 usd, but I would not make the leap or in my case I have the legion, I do not see sense to change, if they put a slightly larger screen without doubt if I would, or I would have waited to buy this one
$400 USD more?! It's only $100 more…there are two versions of the original ally, the most powerful one was $699 the ally x is $799 it’s a $100 increase where do you get $400?
@@CJTheTokay You know what, you are right it is at 799 in USA, by mistake I saw the Europe page and it is at 899. On Amazon the legion is at 620 I think, I bought it at 560 a few weeks ago and the Ally Z1 extreme is at 599 but I have seen it for 500 a few weeks ago too, which they have none capable the X is the Way, unless the legion screen is important for work, otherwise no point in buying. That changes the rules
I want to get the Ally X as a previous owner of the original Ally. However since buying the GO I feel like the screen size has spoiled me and I have a hard time going back to smaller screens eg when using my SD Oled. Don’t really care about the resolution as I don’t need it at this size but handheld gaming is so much better at 8.8-9 inches as compared to 7 inches, not to mention how much easier it is to navigate windows.
I feel like selling my rog ally due to the small screen, I agree
Legion go owners seem like they are so humble for not mentioning they can detach the controllers lmao
@@oo--7714it’s not even a small screen lmfao the Go screen isn’t that much bigger
@@TylerLingard-gu7nw it feels way bigger. The ally screen feels tiny after using the gos imo.
@@JustStay16 my friend has the legion . To me it’s not that much bigger I can see how I can feel really big to some people it’s an inch bigger
I'm with my Go for almost a year now and it still worth it. Basically the idea is so good that with some modification and improvement, no ally or aya or whatever could beat it. But right now buying the Go is not a wise choice. Better to wait for the Legion Went and maybe the Legion Gone. Again, the Go is almost perfect...
I choose legion go for traveling because size matters and both systems can’t survive a 5hr flight without a battery brick.
Ya i mean if you want the bigger screen it definitely makes more sense. Personally I like the size of the Ally X for travel. Depends how much stuff you carry.
The ally x can definitely go 5 hours if you use silent mode and play less demanding games
@@CJTheTokay I only play AAA titles. It definitely won’t last five hours
Is it true that the speaker on legion go is bad
@@MrKayzeemoschino Yes, they are not like the ROG Ally but with some tweaking they are oke
Damn Matthew, gotta say you look great for 97!
It must be because our city's amazing AQI.
holy shit never knew that...
Legion Go for me as i already have one no need in buying another expensive handheld
I have the Go.. I'll never buy another handheld until the Switch 2 releases. Can't give up that 8.8 1600p screen.
Honest review, thank you sir!
You're very welcome!
@@MatthewMonizhow long does the battery life last on the ally x ?
2and half-3 hours so far for me @@Racoon-8183
The Legion Go has far better color accuracy than the Ally. The 8.8 inch screen is gorgeous. It's super clear. The Go is also great for tabletop gaming. It's really cool to turn my screen vertically and play my Shumps. Sony AAA Titles look amazing on the Go. There is a device that allows us to combine the detachable controllers to make a cool control pad. This is great for Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1 and King of Fighters 15. Due to the screen size, it's convenient to get schoolwork done on the Go, no pun intended. The software and performance have advanced tremendously. I just truly wish the Go had 32gb of RAM instead of 16gb. The speakers are ok but lack depth. I use headphones and sometimes a small portable Dolby bluetooth speaker.
The battery life and extra 8gb of memory is indeed a game changer. The Go has more versatility buy the Ally X is a powerhouse when it comes to long lasting playtime.
Just got my LeGo yesterday and Im soo happy with it soo far, had an Alienware m17 r2 for 4 years just died on me a month ago so was either this or a ps5 lol really happy with it with all that it can do
Detachable controllers and the Lenovo on the kickstand sitting on the case it comes with is the best on the go handheld experience.
So, for more demanding titles I really enjoy how 720p scales on the legion go's 1440p screen. It looks very sharp at that pixel density and similar to a steam deck
I'd be keen to see a legion go mid gen refresh if/when that happens
The Legion Go all the way because it is a handheld, a console, and a PC. I just bought the 1TB from Best Buy and saved a hundred bucks and I'm going to enjoy using it as a handheld, a console, and a PC. I did want to buy the Sony PS5 Pro but realized it wasn't worth 700 bucks. So, instead I used it for the Legion Go. Maybe I'll get the Sony PS5 Pro next year when it goes for $499 on sale.
How are you liking it so far? I’m looking at the deal at Best Buy for $649 and I’m very tempted to buy it 😬
@@misa19961 It is an amazing handheld. It is versatile and very powerful especially with Leveno's and AMD's updates to ensure as technology moves forward rapidly, the tech inside keeps up as best as possible. I never buy a piece of tech right away and usually wait at least a year before making the investment. I also do the same for CPU's and GPU's for desktops and for laptops as I still have my 1080 Ti on my old desktop, 3060 on my laptop, and 3080 on my desktop. And, all three are rocking the i7 8th, 11th, and 13th gen as the i7 to me has the most bang for the bucks. And, the Legion Go was a great investment and so far since I've bought it, I am not disappointed.
Now, you have to look at the Legion like a PC meaning once you get it, treat it like a PC and do all the updates to ensure it runs well. Then, after that, download your games and enjoy them. Every games will have a sweet spot so go in understanding that because the tech inside was designed for the space meaning you're not gonna have power like a powerful desktop and/or even a powerful laptop. But, what you're gonna get is still very impressive when quiet to maxed out running your games very well at high settings and sometimes even ultra settings within the proper resolution with FRS on and Frame generation. And for the games that don't have FSR and frame generation, go on Steam and buy Losless Scaling for $6.99 which will provide FSR/DLSS and more along with Frame Generation. Play around with that software along with the games resolution with quality settings to find the sweet spot overall. And once you do, add reshade to the games you want to make them look how you want to. For Reshade I use the color grading tool, grain tool, and sharpening tool a lot to give all my games an incredible look with minimal loss in FPS. The sweep spot for most games will be between 1000p to 1440p with 1440p being the best spot. It's the same for desktop and laptops and equally for the Legion. Trust me, even at 1000p and 1440p, games look amazing with FSR on, Frame gen on, and Reshade.
Now, how about surfing the net, UA-cam, and Netflix and what not. All of these will run very well on the Legion as it has a really good wifi card along with Bluetooth. I run everything well in 4K. And is it bright? It is super bright that I usually just keep it at 60% brightness. And sometimes on games that I wanna see its beauty, I go to 70% brightness.
How is the Leveno interface? To me, it works well because I see the Leveno as a PC and treat it like one. Once you download all your games, they will show up on the Leveno interface as it also has all the gaming apps. And, it is also where you will do all of your software download to keep windows and your Legion updated. But, you can also do them manually because it is a PC.
Does it work well connected to a monitor or TV? Yes, it does. Make sure whatever you connect it to, make that screen your main screen as games and everything else will work better and be much smoother. REMEMBER, the Legion cannot go past 1600p so when you play games, take the resolution down of the monitor or TV you attached down to 1600p or lower. Unless your monitor or TV has its own GPU that helps with refresh rate, don't go pass 1600p. But, for watching youtube or anything else, you can crank it up to 4K.
What should you get with your Legion? A docking system that has fans and the latest ports to ensure you get 4k at 60 fps and above and the fastest speed for USB and USB C. Everything will be connected to the Legion USB C ports so don't be cheap with the docking system and use high end display port or HDMI cables to get the best out the docking system and Legion Go. Also, get a connector for the Legion Go controllers so it mimics a gamepad. Can you connect other controllers? Yes. But, make sure you shut off the Legion controllers first.
Can it run creative software? Yes but be aware that it was not made for that meaning if you just have an idea and want to test it out, using blender, after effects, or Premier for example - it will work just fine but don't expect final editing results and making a movie on the Legion as it will completely freeze on you. Trust me I pushed my Legion to the brinks of limits.
All right I hope it helps you just make the decision to get it. Play games anywhere you want. Dock it when you have friends over as a console. And use it as a PC anywhere with your portable external monitor. The Legion go is a dream come true for PC gamers. You will NOT be disappointed if you are a PC gamer or a laptop lover. And I would even go as far as to say a creator. I am glad I chose the Legion Go over all other handheld and the PS5 Pro.
I really like my legion go it has a bigger screen with 1600p 144f and detachable controller and some times i use it like IPad for movies and UA-cam
Actually, I think the legion go is an iPad Killer
Here in Greece, Lenovo Legion Go 1Tb is at 900€ to 980€. I wanted to get one because of the larger display, but the price is insane for a device that I'd probably use only for WoW.
Go and Steam Oled for me. Go has a bigger screen and I have it plugged in most of the time. For traveling I take my Steam Deck .
I'm excited to see the next Lenovo Legion
"Choose Wisely", oh man I struggle to pick my shoes everyday 😅 But the Ally X seems to be a good deal.
I have the first but this seems tempting! I like the 24gb ram
@@emanuelcarmona9930its not that crucial imo, but if you care about better frametine and 1% low fps you're gonna love it
Legion go is the way to go trust. Read all the comments in here
@@pheniox44it depends most people here are legion go fan boys so of course they gonna tell you to just for that but they both have their pros and cons its all preference at this point and also how u want to use it
@@pheniox44Not according to bestbuy reviews. Asus has horrible customer support.
Thanks bud, saved my money. Will wait for the next gen handhelds cuz I already have an ally z1e
I think the best is 8 inch screen. 7 inch too small, and 8.8 too big
Thats what she said......
My Go has the bigger screen, and this has just spoiled everything for me.
Yep. I don't care about the detachable controllers or the software on the Go (I run Bazzite anyway) but I can't give up that screen. I also have a Steam Deck OLED and it's great for travelling but when I'm home I'm always on the Go. I'll upgrade when the Go gets a bigger battery and more RAM. They need to keep the screen size though or all bets are off.
@Invid72 how does bazzite work? Do you have dual boot? I sold my OG Deck, and I don't know which one to buy. I really like the Ally design much more
OG Ally owner here, also have steam deck oled LE, and recently got the lego. Really glad I didn't pick up the Ally X. After seeing reviews of maybe seeing 2-3 fps better in most games the upgrade just isn't worth it. Also since my OG Ally has been modded like crazy including hall effects, 90wh mod, 2280 adapter, and fixed the micro sd card slot myself. All for well under $100. So if you are strapped for money you can 100% buy a used ally and upgrade it to be even better than the new Ally X for almost half the cost. Don't fall for Asus misleading marketing!
what do you know about worth. you waste money buying nonsense
@@Biddybalboa and you wasted time with your pointless comment, nobody asked for your opinion about his finances
@@sterus2283 no one asked for your opinion on my opinion yet you still supplied it. shove it.
@@Biddybalboa Cry more Kiddybalboa.
It is a no brainer to choose Ally X. It looks better, it feels better, the controllers do not wiggle around like Legion Go, and battery lasts longer on Ally X.
Say no more 🔥
One nice thing about getting older is to see development of products. The 780M is the same as is in my Vivobook s16, that's cool!
While I don't think I'd ever play Cyberpunk on an Ally X or Legion Go, another device with a similar shape can't even run some games at 30 fps. The Nintendo Switch was already running on old mobile hardware when it released, but there have been no updates up to now! Just picture the impact: Zelda running at 15 FPS versus Cyberpunk running at 35 FPS!
Another comparison: When the Nintendo Switch released, the best video card you could buy was the GTX1080ti. That card was able to run the game on 1080p at Ultra at 59 FPS.
So, seeing a mobile device that looks like a Nintendo Switch, run Cyberpunk at 35 FPS - it's quite amazing.
Nintendo really missed a chance there. While 35 FPS on a laptop wouldn't feel nice, on a device like this it's just very acceptable.
i cant wait to play gears on handhelds when they got performance and battery life of an ROG ally x with an oled screen!
Legion go is obviously the better choice . People forget to mention that detachable controllers , that opens it for so many more peripherals
It opens it up for more peripherals, and yet Lenovo haven't released any, nor have they announced any, and there are no 3rd party peripherals for those slots. It's a shame and a waste of a cool idea.
@@Ironically-Sarcastic whilst it's true that Lenovo hasn't released any , JSAUX has just started releasing their first line up of peripherals for the Lenovo legion go.
Loved mine but it is so huge its like barely a handheld
@@DDL-n2u looks way smaller when in table top mode , and the screen pops so much more if you play it that way !
@@ALISHAPLAY10 I owned one, loved it but its a chunk
I can’t wait for the true 2nd gen upgrades to these things. I love that asus doubled the battery life so the competition will likely have to do the same for the next version. What a great time to be a gamer
So... fan noise you didn't said who has more fan noise? Ally X less the normal Ally but compare to Legion Go ?
Great video. All the improvements on the Go were detailed and accurate. Makes me glad I bought one. You can definitely upgrade the memory to 4gb using an adapter that allows you to put in a full 2280 ssd , the adapter lets you place the stick in so it misses the back cover braces and other internals. Definitely a great option. Too bad we don’t have a battery upgrade option. Thanks for your video!
Okay so i am stuck now. Ally x or legion go. With the ram upgrade will it make a difference or nah?
For wut I know, it gives u some frames compared to the Legion Go but is not dramatically different
Asus engineers wanted to keep VRR on their handheld as a USP, but to have OLED & VRR consumes too much power with curent tech and available screens. We can only hope Steam Deck 2/ Ally 2 in 2025 or 2026 will have it.
thats nothing but bs
@ltyarv8071 Agree, we got in on phones, tablets, laptops and monitors as well as TVs.
"The only advantage of a resolution this high is more windows" [approximate quote] -- Dude, not everyone is using these things to play AAA games. Indie games and older games (from a Steam backlog) look GREAT on this high resolution, and many can even go to 144hz/fps on this thing. I've been playing through Mass Effect 2, and playing at 3200x1600 at a locked 120 fps.
Not to mention high resolution CRT filters on emulators using Retro Arch look amazing.
Dont forget the qc issues with asus ive had 2 rog ally x both had issues with the left button being lose and the left trigger being wobbly and clicky alot of other users with the same issue so its common
biggest factor's are more ram,2280 storage ie much bigger capacity and the bigger battery also the vrr as to why it wins hopefully there won't be sd failures like the old ally
Apparently the screen looks way way nicer on the legion though
Just to note on the SSDs, besides also using a 2230 on the Legion Go with an adapter, you can also use a 2280 with a back panel replacement/adapter. But out of the box the Ally X wins here. Since you can also remove the controllers from the Legion Go, I find it more portable if you don't need to bring those. I typically use an external controller with all of these devices. Just find them more comfortable that way.
I got my X yesterday, sold my OG Ally, so far great experience
Does it perform better , in terms of fps?
@shazel8616 hey yes, ot dose but not by mich, what I like is that is more polished than the OG
I’ll wait until the new ally next year with the AMD Z2 Extreme processor!!
I am loving that the ally software has been getting a lot of updates which I’m happy about !
So the Go has gotten a more silent fan curve, so has the X. But you forgot to compare them to each other. Which is the quieter?
I have the Lenovo tablet that has the same screen as the Go and it can't be overstated how good it is in person. Compares favourably with the SD OLED and definitely blows the Ally screen out of the water. If you don't have an OLED screen next to it, you would swear it itself is an OLED.
Just seen an unboxing video, the ally x has a stand under the lid of the box?
Go when on the go and Xbox when at home.
Playing with crossave on xbox pc is a win win for me 😁
Im really thinking about getting the ally x because i know that devices with detachable controllers feel loose overtime. Another thing would be the battery too. But someone please give advice on which one i should get
You could always increase the scale size of the resolution on the ally X
I bought the go, and i love it! Struggles to charge while in use, but everything else is beautiful.
Just a Fyi, you can change charging speed in BIOS but it warns you it will use more heat. I guess its because the cooling on the Go isnt as great as Ally.
Finally, a reviewer who has really a hands on with both device.
One thing someone brought up which I had never thought about is how playable are games on these things without an internet connection? I drive a lot and some times in remote areas with bad connection and no reliable/safe WiFi. I wanna buy one of these so bad
I think people are not taking VRR into consideration. For me that’s the biggest advantage. With these devices you are going to have fluctuations in fps, and that VRR is going to give you a smooth experience. Also you can have 40fps with the screen at 120 and it’s going to be really close to a 60 fps experience.
How is latency atm? Still alot of server overload query time as some months ago?
I gotta ask, how does your Diablo UI look like that?? Thanks Matt!
What do you mean it’s the default UI?
I bet it looks Immoral.
You can change it in the D4 menu.
I use augmented reality glasses that provide me with a large screen, so the size of the screen during travel doesn’t pose a significant concern for me.
One big problem right now is ASUS warranty problems and customer support.
Yes, but I am affraid that the real problem is bad production quality of Ally, so many people have problems with it. Asus just does not want to confirm, that quality is bad and they released Ally X instead as replacement
Guys i need advice the go is $200 cheaper than the ally x should i just go for the go or go for the ally x ?
I am a casual gamer just need a handheld that i could comfortable play while traveling around
I suggest you go for the go and possibly get a power brick for backup
Buy the original ally z1 extreme for 500 $ and a 20 $ battery pack. You get more battery time for a lot less the price.
The best one is the original ally z1 extreme. You can get it for 500 $ and it has the nice VRR screen. That's very important for 30-50 fps games. Just buy a 20 $ battery pack and you have more batterytime than on the ally x.
I also tried the legion go, but some games only work with 16:9, so you don't get the full display size from the legion go. And with 720p/800p it doesn't look as sharp as on the ally. And with this chip, it's a 720p handheld. And of course the legion go has no VRR. But i am glad we have so much good windows handhelds. At this point you can't go wrong with the ally, legion go, or steamdeck. All of this are good devices.
If I was going to a friends house for the night and we wanted to play baldurs gate with them which would be better if I could be plugged into the wall? I’m steering towards the go
Deck oled or legion go are the best options
I am too an old dude and the Legion Go is a must for my ancient eyes - and it’s awesome! Do you think it will run Black Myth Wukong?
X when on the go, Go when at home.
Exactly what I did
Why would you need a handheld pc at home? Sounds kinda redundant imo
Wouldn't you just dock the Ally at home? Why have both?
The irony of this reply isn’t lost on me.
Isn’t the go weaker
I have the Legion Go and have no desire to change to the Ally X. The fact that the Ally X is arguably only slightly better than an almost year old Legion Go says a lot about how good the hardware on the Legion Go was from the start. Ally X should be so much better as it's basically a 3rd gen unit but it's not.
I usually play at top resolution on the Lego, It all just depends on the game or settings like anything else
Imagine these with Steam OS. I would love a quick dual boot option
They should make new goycons controllers with integrated speakers and a decent dpad
What are you top 10 games on rog ally x
Would argue if u travel the go is the better device since the bigger screen makes it better to use as an actual computer or tablet for watching movies or shows
the legion go is more of a refined experience. screen feels bigger and the controllers pop off like on the switch. USB on top and bottom make it feel more versatile
I have a ROG ally X right now, but I know someone that wants to trade me for a legion go and a ROG ally Z1E? Do you’ll think it’s a good trade?
Trade it. The legion go is AMAZING. Especially after all the driver updates
I'm gonna have to stick with the original ROG Ally. The Original Asus ROG Ally (upgraded version) can be the same powerful to the ASUS ROG Ally X, but different specs.
ASUS ROG Ally and ASUS ROG Ally X do the same thing as themselves, but are different features as these two.
thanks for the video, man. great info!
You're welcome!! Thanks for watching
cool product , do u think this can be used as a work/game set up interesting to pair it with a screen via type C
How many hours is the difference?
Your charts are wrong.
Tomb raider Legion go has more written fps, but a lower graph
Just picked up the legion go on sale for $350 (canadian) less than the ally x and im very happy. This was basically a gaming laptop alternative for me. I already have a great laptop and didnt want a new one but it does not play games very well and i already have a ps5 so i didnt want a whole desktop pc either. i bought this instead. I am one of the very few ppl that use fps mode all the time. The detachable controllers and bigger screen were the deciding factor for me. If u r just looking for a portable pc handheld tho, the ally x is probably the best right now if u don't mind windows. If u do, then get the steam deck oled for sure
What the where???
@npcimknot958 750 at best buy vs 1100 ally x
@@blake343 The ally x is 800 $ and you can get the original ally z1 extreme for 500 $.

@@blake343 Ok then it's very cheap for the legion go. In our country the cheapest price for the legion go ist 800 $. (American)
I have bazzite on my go and it’s awesome! Same performance in some games, worse or better in others. Linux is great! If u don’t care for cod
few question
1.does legion go work without controller?.. i mean as standalone tablet. surface kind of things.. will it boot normally
2.Does legion go work as lite video editing device since colour accuracy is better than ally x
3. in stand mode can u still access legion go usb port?
Yes, yes and yes! The LeGO is a beast!!!
I choose legion go. When in tablet mode, its literally an iPad Pro killer. I think someone should make a video about this.
You don't have to type a password to log in, there's an easy way to circumvent that requirement in windows. My go boots right into windows, and from sleep it just requires me to tap the sign in button.
Can you share how to do it, it’s super annoying for me.
Old games on full resolution legion go Look amazing
Thanks for the comparison. 👍👍👍 Three thumbs up. Wait. What?
😂
Best buy was selling legion go for $750 canadian for just one weekend right after i got 4th place in a big poker tournament so it was meant to be for me
Pre-ordered the X cos frankly, spreading out that $150 to $200 price difference over a period of 12 months, it becomes insignificant. A meal a day probably cost more than $15 a month.
How is the fan noise on the Ally X when in 25W mode? 🤔
I already have a legion go. If i would sell it and get something different i would go with the ONEXPLAYER X1 AMD Ryzen™ 7 8840U. I want the bigger screen.
Legion Go actually comes with a case too, no clue why ROG doesn't.
When are you gonna do a best laptop setup video?
I should do one. Last one sort of tanked. Let me check out the submissions
I would have waited for the Ally X, except that I wanted the bigger screen size of the LeGo. Means I can actually use it as a PC when needed for things like Fusion 360 etc. Obviously the memory bandwidth and battery are a shame though, that the Ally X definitely gets right. I will say, the LeGo's speakers SUCK. Not a deal breaker for me, but yeah.. for the price, they should have been better.
Legion go integer scaling
Legion Go is a more versatile choice.🤘
ASUS is trying to increase the price of similar devices for the future, that's why they made this version more expensive.
In your opinion plus it doesn't have vrr which is a deal breaker for many
It's really if u want a smaller screen then the x but the legion might be heavier but it is more comfortable in the hands ,also once u can get a game like spiderman or resident evil 4 or even like sonic superstars on full qhd ,144hz, on that beautiful 8.8 inch screen ,you will never go back lol the screen is amazing!
I have the Go, had the ROG Ally and Claw. My favorite windows handheld is the Onexplayer Mini Pro. The little handheld is a beast and it’s super comfortable to hold. I’ve had no issues with it unlike the others systems. It’s easy to use and update too. It feels like the most well made one too.
I chose Legion Go
Legion Go!!! Screen size, detachable controllers and a kickstand!!!
An no VRR.
