im in the same boat i really been wanting a legion go for so long i have a oled but man i can already feel the legion will replace it for me and with gamepass come on
But hows the battery? That's my only concern, in the Steam Deck I crank the screen brightness to the max because that's the way i like to play. How much time can you play a demanding title on the Legion Go?
I totally agree and great video! The Lenovo Legion GO is amazing. I have a LCD Steam Deck (the original) and decided to try the Legion GO because I saw one on sale at Best Buy, and it was open box so I got a great deal... Ever since then I love using the Legion GO and I haven't touched the Steam Deck since then. The detachable controllers are indeed a GAME CHANGER because they turn this relatively heavy device into the LIGHTEST device... Because you can put it on the table with its great kick stand, and then use the detached controllers comfortably on your lap. The high resolution 1600P and high refresh rate 144 Hz screen gives you options (you can always lower the resolution or refresh rate and it still looks good, or upscale a game to 1600P), but many simpler games will be playable at 1600P and / or 144 Hz and then it's amazing. Performance is really great and fast with the Z1 Extreme chip. Lastly, the Legion GO is highly useable as a small portable laptop thanks to its glorious big screen (compared to other handhelds), high resolution, fast processor, and detachable right controller that turns into a mouse. It's also fantastic as a tablet for watching movies. So all in all, I agree that it's superbly well designed by Lenovo. Cheers!
Just got my Legion on Friday and man im sooo happy with it, my Alienware m17 r2 died on me about three weeks ago and it was either this or a ps5 and man this thing is way too cool lol got me a Uperfect 2k 144hz monitor jsaux dock and razer mouse and keyboard, new main setup now no doubt
I am happy that we got choices. I was in the lucky position to try out the ROG ally, steam deck OLED and the Legion Go. And the ROG ally was my choice at the end. Just fits my needs the best. But everyone is different.
I got the SteamDeck when it first came out and absolutely loved it. Then I heard about the Go, and got that when it first came out. I love both, but the Go is so much easier to work with. Steam Deck is awesome with Steam but getting Epic to work on it took some time. I tried going back to SteamDeck and just couldn't remember how to upgrade Proton and what not to get it to work. The Go is just easier because it's just a windows machine. I just wish the Go felt like the SteamDeck, that is still an awesome handheld to hold. So comfortable compared to the Go. And yes I got the 3d printed add ons. Steam deck is still more comfortable.
@@GadgetGuardians669 yeah definitely steam deck for me is like holding butter, just nice and comfortable. The legion go has the corners that dig right into my palms, but the 3D printed snap-ons really remedied that. I just think that those controllers are just too angled for me and others. But overall I just much prefer the Go because it's Windows based (and that screen!) I am not a Linux person at all...lol
@@DADDYGAMERNL my opinion is VRR is negligible… side by side. The GO is a great device for the price if you are in the market for a handheld. It has its ups and downs like any other device but I think it has the most pros with the least cons
There are some cons to the Legion Go. They don't keep up with the AMD drivers so they are never current. Its significantly heavier than competitors and the controllers dig into your palm making playing uncomfortable. Its a large device and I have large hands but still have trouble reaching the buttons. The large screen is nice, but it doesn't have VRR so it doesn't look as smooth and Rog Ally or Steam deck when running games at lower framerates (under 60 fps). On the other hand, when plugged in it can go to higher wattage for more frame rates, and using it in tablet mode is awesome too. You can make it much smaller by taking off controllers, carry the tablet, and pair with external controller to solve comfort issues. Without the controllers, it is the size of a thick 9 inch tablet.
I have owned nearly every portable PC ever made. I keep telling myself enough is enough. I got rid of my Ally and decided to stick with the SD OLED. But now I find myself really wanting a legion go.
already had a rog ally. It was fine, but the detachable controllers and bigger screen make this seem like it fits a particular use case. The ally IMO is inferior to the SD oled in 99 percent of the specific pc gaming niche.
Video is amazing bro But I have some questions... I had heard that there are bugs in the software and its Windows, have they been fixed yet? And can it run old games like fallout New Vegas or Metal Gear Solid V?
Yo, thanks for the vid, I’m about to get the legion go, I’ve been doing yardwork a lot and I’m almost there, I just need to ask something, If I want to use an Xbox controller, would the Bluetooth work and work well? (Also I just subbed, love your content)
@@GadgetGuardians669 thanks, I was just making sure I didn’t need another adapter to use Bluetooth because that was a struggle with the Nintendo switch, and I’ve been a switch person for 5 years until I realized now the switch is nothing compared to this, so I’m planning on having the Legion Go
I hope you handle disappointment well. My friend is a tech reviewer and has the X in hand. It’s hot garbage compared to the GO. Get a nice battery bank and VRR is useless… it’s a gimmick
@@TopODaMernin Did you ever played two devices next to each other one with VRR and without? Believe me, if you know what VRR does, you will think a bit different, because it is not a gimmick at all. The driver support is hot garbage in the LeGo, the fans are loud, and the screen is just a little tablet, the ergonomics are just plain bad, who the f is using this Nintendo switch rip off?
@@Rem0n89 I have…. And like I said. I have seen the Ally X in person next to the GO and the deck OLED. It is horrible. The screen looks really bad compared to the other two and VRR does nothing… Im assuming you haven’t seen or used the GO in the last few months…. Essentially every issue has been fixed…. So you are spitting old material that you saw from a UA-cam video or reddit instead of actual first hand knowledge. Enjoy your overpriced X and live with your decision lol.
@@TopODaMernin"Every issue has been fixed"? There's still no AFMF, STT wattage is still broken, the new software thats been pushed out is a pile of bug-ridden shit, the speakers suck donkey ass, and the thing is loud as fuck. I have to put a piece of tape over my fan vents to prevent some high pitch whine. I am so tired of this thing and Lenovo's shit software and community support.
Videos don’t do the display justice. I have a Legion tablet which uses the same panel and it’s insane. I had a Steam Deck OLED and an Ally briefly and those don’t compare at all even with the Steam Deck’s HDR.
I have one and no it isn't that loud. Compared to a gaming laptop its really quiet, although it's louder than steam deck. But then steam deck couldn't play the same demanding games. In short- don't let others comments put you off. Its not loud
@@darronayles7286Yeah, bro! Ever since it was released, I wanted to buy one. I've left a comment on almost every UA-cam channel, and most of them said it's loud. There are some who told me it's quite quiet and stuff as well. I just don't want to buy it and find out it's super loud.
I just got a Legion GO three days ago and honestly the fan is loud for sure, in Performance mode at least. It is not if you select the Quiet profile and TDP under 20W. At the same TDP of a Steam Deck, approx 15W, the fan is ok, you won't notice it with headphones on. It becomes a plane at 25-30W tho. Actually I'm ok with the 15-20W profile anyway, just lower resolution and upscale. At 25+W it is also quite hot on the back/metal chassis.
@@meme_035 yeah, the Legion GO is better. Not really a ground breaking chang with the Ally X compared to the regular Ally. The display is still the same, only the battery capacity, Ram size increase, color and fixes to previous design. Waiting to make a review soon😉
Depends. Is portability more important? Get an Ally X... if you play fps on your handheld and have a table in front of you all the time, get a legion go
I have a steam deck and its power is failing me so hard at the start it was great but it just cant keep up with the games i play now. Plus my friend got a legion and omg it is sooo much better plus its just way cooler
I was a Deck fanboy so i got the oled. Out of curiosity decided to try the Legion Go and was blown away.
im in the same boat i really been wanting a legion go for so long i have a oled but man i can already feel the legion will replace it for me and with gamepass come on
@@finalzgamesgive it a try. I was extremely shocked how much I love the screen when I was so sure, as an OLED lover, that I was going to hate it 😂
For real the Legion Go is much better sold my Deck oled for it, the Upgrade is Huge..

The ROG Ally is good as well, but the Legion Go is more flexible! Nice Greek music at the beginning by the way haha. Opa!!!!!
The quality and dedication alone deserves a sub. Great work!

No is NOT. Ergonomic are not a black or white deal..it varies person to person. So it may be more comfortable for you but not me
My point exactly! Ergonomics really varies from person to person. For me, I prefer the grip and overall ergonomic of the GO compared to the Oled.

wow what a youtube find this guy is goated
Thanks m8
VRR is a must for handheld gaming
Nope.
It’s really not…. At all….
I'm still saving up for mybown LeGo, it's already appearing in my dreams lol
lets not forget now with frame generation the games are gonna be running even better now on the legion
@@finalzgames 100%
The onexplayer 1x is the best

But I feel I’ll still prefer the Legion Go
if steam deck can run fc24 so smooth i will buy steam deck,but legion go and asus rog ally better to carry fc24 more
