Another major selling point is that it has 2x USB C 4 ports. No proprietary connections. So attaching an eGPU or charging the device while connecting an external drive or other peripheral is super easy. Ally and SD only have one port as far as I know and they're not USB C 4.
This is a great device. I have the Legion, Deck, and Ally and it's this one I come back to to use. Steamdeck is amazing, but I find I use Windows apps too often to give up easily (and there are some games I can't run on the Deck. Loved the Ally until it killed my SD card :(
I have all 3 as well but find myself using the Ally the most, I wanna like the Legion go but it feels horrible in the hands and too bulky for me compared to the deck and ally, also the battery is somehow even worse than the allys (which the Ally battery life sucks)
I think this is probably a good screen size to manage portability and function. The number of people playing by hooking up a mouse and keyboard but still using this display is probably pretty small. More likely they'll put it in a dock with a tv & controller, or with a monitor and keyboard/mouse.
Mine is in the mail. Goal is using it with a 60% keyboard I bring in my bag anyway. My 13 in laptop recently kicked the bucket. I think the smaller screen will be fine because 90% of the time I can dock my laptop and the other 10% of the time I am not working and probably playing a lighter game. Friends and I are already planning more LANs. So at the very least it's making more close gaming opportunities.
@@Greatbylook Yeah I might (wait til I get older that is). As a switch player, one thing I might need to get used to it is these games not being optimized for a small screen. But maybe windows games have a better likelihood of coming with more customization, so maybe scaling text and UI. Doesn’t sound like it though from how you were talking.
I just got one a week ago, its my main system now. Its amazingly underrated. BTW, I'm gonna use a portable projector for the big screen experience. Also, when using the FPS mode, you can push in the joystick, so it doesn't stick out so much ;)
I just actually picked one up on 4/20 (lmao) but i have previously had a steam deck, and i wasn't fully happy, but when i saw this, i loved the size, its an amazing PC for me, and rn i have it hooked up to a single USBC dongle, and set for the internal display to turn off. i love this thing as PC, and the performance in the size
Hey, i just want to ask what "light work" did u do on the LeGo, and byfar how was the experience using LeGo? Can you replace LeGo with your laptop? I also do travel a lot and very intrested buying LeGo but still unsure if i only bring LeGo will enough or not
@naufalrajasa5497 hello I personally have bluetooth keyboard and mouse, so I can do lot of work with legion go i also dock it to hotel tv for with usb dock. As for replacing the laptop, I would still carry it as a backup. But overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.
Recently i ve got this lenovo legion go and i m really impressed by this device, it was a go to because of my old eyes an 8"+ display is more comfortable. I like the detachable controler, pretty powerfull for such a small thing, with a mouse, small keyboard and even an external portable monitor you can carry all in a 17" laptop case with a ton of accessories. With a 10" inch display this could kill a laptop, it could get better cooling and even more versatility, but for 8 or 10" display i think 1440p is a bit overkill, 1080p for this size is more than enough, more power and perf efficient for an integrated gpu, maybe FHD+, but 1440p not so usefull in such a tiny display.
laptops and desktops have their uses which I doubt will be replace anytime soon. This legion go is versatile that you can doc to Monitors to become a PC or a mini tablet, the main selling point is ofc a handheld gaming device that runs all your games on the go from any platform and also Emulates games from the Switch, overall $700-800 for all this is not bad at all. not saying it will happen, but this kind of device reminds of the idea one in all xD and could potentially be huge in the future to come.
I totally agree with you on the display. I thought this would make a great multimedia tablet, but it's not big enough to use it for productivity tasks, and not small enough to be really portable. I will return mine and went with a Asus Z flow and an Xbox controller.
I love my LeGo especially for playing old games or even running some pvp in Dark Souls from the comfort of my couch or bed since i mainly play on PC. I'm all for handhelds and where they're going, hopefully in the near future with cpu's & gpu's getting better I'm hoping they can get more powerful or better yet more energy efficient so we can get more play time out of them.
i plugged it in and played on my tv and monitor in native resolution without any lack of quality/fps, its awesome! even splitscreen works great with rocket league/black ops 3 .) thanks for the great video !
GPD had devices before the Steam Deck was a thought. and released 4/5 mos before the Switch. several other manufacturers like AyaNeo, Ayn, One Netbook (OneXPlayer) were in the game before Asus and Lenovo.
I love the device, just wish they'd add a button mapping to the xbox home button. Makes it annoying when using as a Steam Deck on steroids. I really dig the Tunderbolt 4, can plug it into an EGPU and it's a beast, slightly glitchy over Thunderbolt but it's a big advantage on the others. I have a ROG Ally as well, which I also like, it's more user friendly as a handheld but as an all rounder, the Legion Go is ahead.
So, question for you. Is there a stylus for it? I can see having a dock, keyboard, mouse, and monitor setup at home and using it as a drawing tablet… except, it’s really the whole computer built into the tablet. Certainly not a primary function of the device but since it has Windows on it, why not?
These things are getting better and cheaper with time. And quite rapidly, too. I agree with your sentiment that these are going to trump laptops. I just wish Microsoft would read the room and do something similar to Valve: have a controller optimized OS on one side of things with the ability to switch to full Windows desktop mode. Windows isn't very friendly with handhelds. I can see a beefier version of Xbox OS as a front end for all of your games and if you feel like the full PC experience, switch to desktop mode.
there is something that fits what youre asking for. i have a Asus ROG Flow Z13. its a Microsoft Surface with a GPU. it doesnt have joycons (THANKFULLY). and at 13" im guessing its probably bigger than what youre projecting. the OneXPlayer X1 seems to be everything youre seeking. joycons. 10" and a keyboard. i just wish it had a GPU.
I don't understand in what world one would push that res and refresh rate. The frame rate whiplash of running something simple and low poly over 60hz, then a big boy game that barely scratches 30fps would kill me. It mildly irks me to go from 120hz to 60hz alone from my PC to the Deck. Seems like a massive cost increase for only a handful of titles one would be able to take advantage of with the given hardware and bandwidth of this chip. I get that you can alter the rafresh rate and resolution, but it's just strange to have to make concessions on every game while you're still being charged for that display that you still won't take advantage of....
i feel like a lot of the dislikes on this device were personal preferences that they would rather have vs it being a product that performs well for what they made. From this video for him he wants a 2 inch bigger display and a keyboard attachment that is more convenient for him
definitely getting one this year, waiting for a sale. the Ally went on sale for like $399 during black friday, which was amazing! hoping the legion go will also get that type of discount
Currently this is more expensive then the rog ally but in my opinion it looks better and provides more option! (The console can split controllers and mouse and keyboards can be connected and I can just airplay to my iMac so it's cheaper and I don't have to buy a whole PC)
I disagree on a bigger screen as 8.8in is big enough and in some ways already too big. 10in is too big to be considered a handheld from my view and would just be a straight up tablet at that point.
@@nicklaforge Not really the same as a handheld gaming console, which is going to be thicker and heavier than your average tablet. It's just much too big and a 10in device is going to have very little appeal
Good thing about this is if they make controls for this then itz easy to replace. Then the display is bigger & u dont need a mouse wen u want to use as a computer. Any small portable keyboard will do fine. 😂
i like laptops even if i have a desktop and i got a lenovo because of it but didnt felt right i think is the size of the screen or maybe the gpu capabilities but they are getting there once they put a dedicated gpu on these thing ill get one
I'm typing this on legion go. I can't get games to run good at all. Cloud gaming is the what runs good for me currently. If someone could help me that would be awesome
Maybe you need to lower resolution. This 1600p is too much for this performance especially on AAA games. i think 800p the sweet spot, but idk big resolution screen with low resolution gaming i think its not the best looking.
If the Legion Go had a VRR display, especially a native landscape display, it'd be a no brainer for me. But it doesn't, unlike the Ally, which doesn't have USB4... Why oh why...
I bought to use primarily as a tablet, not for gaming. It's the ONLY tablet under 9" or really 10" for that matter with high resolution and fairly premium specs. I agree a matching keyboard would be awesome. Because this has USB4, you can connect an egpu. So this really could be a desktop replacement (with egpu, larger monitor and possibly external drive), a laptop (with matching keyboard), a tablet AND a gaming handheld. A larger version would be a nice addition, as long as they still sell a smaller one like this! I think it's fantastic!!
Could you please recommend a mount for It? right now I have one in my bed with a Nintendo Switch and I really enjoy It, but I want to do the same when i buy a Lenovo Legion go.
It’s a toss up between this and Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck, based on preference. SD has better battery life, ROG is more portable and synching screen.
The leGo is way too big to travel in my opinion. That’s the one thing he didn’t cover in the video. The resolution is nice but not many games) you’ll be able run at 1600p unless you want 15fps. I find my self only using this thing at home and have to turn it down to 800p to get 60fps in most games. (Triple A mostly.) The other thing it’s missing is variable refresh rate. I personally use the Ally more on the go even with the smaller screen the games tend to look prettier and I don’t have a problem with resuming game after I put the Ally to sleep.
Did they update that with the resume then? I’ve heard it has to load the Home Screen first and sometimes your games just down load back up after that. How much testing have you done with this? Thank u
Lol I love how PC gamers say the keyboard is totally natural. I’m a console guy that just recently started playing PC games and there is nothing natural about a keyboard hahahaha!!! But now I’m in the PC gaming world. I can’t believe I waited so long! I have a PS5 and Series X and I love them, but the experience with PC gaming, graphics, and the smoothness, I have to admit is far above any console. It really is. Now I just have to get better with a keyboard and mouse. I’ve been doing a bunch of research on expanding my gaming on the go and the Legion Go is on the top of my list!
depends of the game, KB and Mouse for 1st person shooter, controller for racing. i play on PC, Mac (yes Mac), Playstations, Nintendo consoles etc. these handheld PC is all in one for me.
As someone who owns multiple AAA game copies of the same game across pc and consoles, I will add that despite pc's having a higher ceiling, it's very easy to fail at customizing your settings or hardware itself in a way that looks worse than the closed system a console provides. Many times I've found games looking and running better on my consoles compared to my better gaming pc. Takes effort, time, and knowledge to tinker with your pc to bring out its potential. Console will always be better to me. Keyboards and mice are designed for typing, not playing games. But that means they work very well for my favorite type of game: mmo's 😁
Depends on the game. I play mostly with a controller. First person only games make sense with a mouse, unless it's all melee. Games with a lot of body movement in third person, like a lot of adventure games, Metal Gear games, and Soulslikes, it's controller all the way. The mouse is indisputably faster and more accurate, but I laothe keyboards. They're for typing, not moving, and it's long travel for no analog gradient in movement. There, controllers win for movement.
I sadly just returned mine. I wanted to love it but I just cant justify it. The Z1 is the equivalent to the GTX 1650/1050 Ti/1060 3GB or the Radeon RX 570. Yes that's insane for a handheld but its as heavy as my razer blade 14" laptop that houses a GTX 3070Ti. Don't get me started on the battery life..... I am however very excited at what it could do while I had it. I think its just too early to make this kind of investment when you just know the next one will be coming over the hill shortly. Its an incredible time to be a gamer.
Maybe, but how exactly are they supposed to improve the ryzen 7840U or the Z1 extreme anytime soon? There arent a lot of options. I dont think anything better will come out for quite awhile, because we have virtually nothing to put into it thatll fit a device this size and still be an improvement to the specs. So far we just have dumb improvements, like the ridiculous 64g ram and 4tb ssd on the new onexplayer. Like yeah i guess technically its an improvement, but when will you ever need 64 gigs of ram on a handheld. I DO think we will see price drops continue, but i just cant see anything thats noticably more powerful coming out anytime soon. I think tweaks and optimization will continue to improve performance for years to come though.
@frankpatterson9682 no right or wrong answer. Just preference. For me I don't like using my phone for any extreme resource application. The legion go filled a perfect niche for me. I work remote as IT consultant and I have 3 kids. What it solves for me, primary I don't require a bulky laptop now to game or do basic pc tasks when off work. I like that it's windows, I can rdp to all my virtual machines that I use for work. I can dock and play a game and be around the family rather than my office. Now I like to go camping and still work. I hated my laptop and now I believe I won't take my laptop at all. Just VPN back home, rdp to my work and light weight on the go device. Lastly a bit experimental I been wanting a centrally accessed gaming pc. I thought I was going to use old laptops to access but this device is great I plan on using it. I virtualize a gaming pc with a 4070 graphics card. I run legion go in balanced mode and remote stream my dedicated gaming vm. I like this solution because it removes most of the bugs and hassle when using your primary pc to remote stream a game. Hard to control all the resources as you it daily for other things and primary pc might have multiple monitors that bug out remote streaming games. So far it's been amazing exceeding my expectations. My wants were very niche but very thankful I randomly stumbled on legion go!
The Legion Go is just too big imo. It almost negates the point of it being a handheld. Not only is it large but fairly heavy too. I know you compared it to your laptop and it is somewhat smaller but is it small enough to justify a whole new purchase? Depends on the person but definitely a no for me.
Actually Was looking for a video around this. Now I was also thinking this is too early to invest in such a system since it's bran new and still has much power and edges to smooth out before a guarantee purchase. So one of my questions is Coming from Gaming Phones which currently have gen 3 chips. They are not close to this yet. So my real question is how far is the Extreme Chip on Ally and the Chip from Legion Go compared to the ever Popular gaming systems like PS5 and Xbox.
6000 + mah battery. Just get powerbank 24.000 mah make sure its 100w + Walla your game time went up 2 hours to 8 hours if your still not at charging outlet than I dont know buy 2 powerbands' 😂😂
You can detach the right joystick knob off and put it in the carry case when in mouse mode.. read it in the online manual!
Came here to say this
Another major selling point is that it has 2x USB C 4 ports. No proprietary connections. So attaching an eGPU or charging the device while connecting an external drive or other peripheral is super easy. Ally and SD only have one port as far as I know and they're not USB C 4.
No vrr though
@@Nick71237why not?
You can remove the thumbstick and store in the hole next to where the controller base is stored in the case

ayaneo gpd win one player exists too you know
@@The_Shock_and_Awe yeah for astronomical prices that no one wants to pay for handhelds :/ ayaneo and gpd aren't known very well anyway
That's why I refuse to touch the ally, ANY microSD card that you insert will die from heat.

Friends and I are already planning more LANs. So at the very least it's making more close gaming opportunities.
5:06 FYI, the cap can be removed and stored in a cutout in the case. Thanks for the review!

10" is too much for me.8,8 is quite perfect especially if u want to game non competitive gaming. For productivity all i need is extra monitor.
TMI, we don’t need to know what size your prefer. Keep it pG.
Even 7 inches is too much for me. I’m skeptical about 8.8 let alone 10 lol

But now I’m in the PC gaming world. I can’t believe I waited so long! I have a PS5 and Series X and I love them, but the experience with PC gaming, graphics, and the smoothness, I have to admit is far above any console. It really is. Now I just have to get better with a keyboard and mouse. I’ve been doing a bunch of research on expanding my gaming on the go and the Legion Go is on the top of my list!
depends of the game, KB and Mouse for 1st person shooter, controller for racing. i play on PC, Mac (yes Mac), Playstations, Nintendo consoles etc. these handheld PC is all in one for me.
As someone who owns multiple AAA game copies of the same game across pc and consoles, I will add that despite pc's having a higher ceiling, it's very easy to fail at customizing your settings or hardware itself in a way that looks worse than the closed system a console provides. Many times I've found games looking and running better on my consoles compared to my better gaming pc. Takes effort, time, and knowledge to tinker with your pc to bring out its potential.
Console will always be better to me. Keyboards and mice are designed for typing, not playing games. But that means they work very well for my favorite type of game: mmo's 😁
Depends on the game. I play mostly with a controller. First person only games make sense with a mouse, unless it's all melee. Games with a lot of body movement in third person, like a lot of adventure games, Metal Gear games, and Soulslikes, it's controller all the way.
The mouse is indisputably faster and more accurate, but I laothe keyboards. They're for typing, not moving, and it's long travel for no analog gradient in movement. There, controllers win for movement.
Can this handle lift off fpv
Btw which razer keyboard is it?
Bro wants it to be a laptop so bad
You just mad
Why are u mad😊
No, actually, that's why he bought this... and not a laptop.
Me2 you have problem with that?
Full windows so....
Do you know if this machine can play 4k movies connected to 4k tv?? Like this full mkvs of 50 gigs?? Thanks
Yes
Can you play ragnarok in legion?
I had an ally the sd card reader burnt out so its in repair now so brought this an its way better
The analog sticks comes off. 😊
if you want a 10" then look at the GPD Win Max 2
Você poderia enviar um item para o Brasil?
10 inch screen is way too big for a handheld. 🧐
Nah
the device looks huge in your hands! we need huge pockets for it lol...
None of these handhelds outside of maybe the ROG Ally will fit in your pocket
Arm cpu vs X64 cpu, these are not the same, 2 are gaming pcs, the other is a gaming tablet
I sadly just returned mine. I wanted to love it but I just cant justify it. The Z1 is the equivalent to the GTX 1650/1050 Ti/1060 3GB or the Radeon RX 570. Yes that's insane for a handheld but its as heavy as my razer blade 14" laptop that houses a GTX 3070Ti. Don't get me started on the battery life..... I am however very excited at what it could do while I had it. I think its just too early to make this kind of investment when you just know the next one will be coming over the hill shortly. Its an incredible time to be a gamer.
I don't we will have anything soon over the hill. I think soonest we see a decent upgrade is 2 years out.
Maybe, but how exactly are they supposed to improve the ryzen 7840U or the Z1 extreme anytime soon? There arent a lot of options. I dont think anything better will come out for quite awhile, because we have virtually nothing to put into it thatll fit a device this size and still be an improvement to the specs. So far we just have dumb improvements, like the ridiculous 64g ram and 4tb ssd on the new onexplayer. Like yeah i guess technically its an improvement, but when will you ever need 64 gigs of ram on a handheld.
I DO think we will see price drops continue, but i just cant see anything thats noticably more powerful coming out anytime soon. I think tweaks and optimization will continue to improve performance for years to come though.
@alexcrowder1673 Agreed. I truly believe that handheld gaming is better on Android/ios.
@frankpatterson9682 no right or wrong answer. Just preference.
For me I don't like using my phone for any extreme resource application. The legion go filled a perfect niche for me. I work remote as IT consultant and I have 3 kids.
What it solves for me, primary I don't require a bulky laptop now to game or do basic pc tasks when off work. I like that it's windows, I can rdp to all my virtual machines that I use for work. I can dock and play a game and be around the family rather than my office.
Now I like to go camping and still work. I hated my laptop and now I believe I won't take my laptop at all. Just VPN back home, rdp to my work and light weight on the go device.
Lastly a bit experimental I been wanting a centrally accessed gaming pc. I thought I was going to use old laptops to access but this device is great I plan on using it. I virtualize a gaming pc with a 4070 graphics card. I run legion go in balanced mode and remote stream my dedicated gaming vm. I like this solution because it removes most of the bugs and hassle when using your primary pc to remote stream a game. Hard to control all the resources as you it daily for other things and primary pc might have multiple monitors that bug out remote streaming games.
So far it's been amazing exceeding my expectations. My wants were very niche but very thankful I randomly stumbled on legion go!
The Legion Go is just too big imo. It almost negates the point of it being a handheld. Not only is it large but fairly heavy too.
I know you compared it to your laptop and it is somewhat smaller but is it small enough to justify a whole new purchase? Depends on the person but definitely a no for me.
I got mine for gaming while I camp this summer lol
Is it better then the onexplayer 2 pro im trying to see what one should I get
for the price of 1200 to 750 its clear tbh look and the difference i would rather get a desktop for 1200 then a handheld or a
4080,3090ti?
Whoever hasn't had one dont know what they are missing.
Actually Was looking for a video around this. Now I was also thinking this is too early to invest in such a system since it's bran new and still has much power and edges to smooth out before a guarantee purchase. So one of my questions is Coming from Gaming Phones which currently have gen 3 chips. They are not close to this yet. So my real question is how far is the Extreme Chip on Ally and the Chip from Legion Go compared to the ever Popular gaming systems like PS5 and Xbox.
Close to a series s.
10 inch oled 2k resolution would be perfect.
Did es it open pdf files and what program s can I install on it
It’s a whole pc
6000 + mah battery. Just get powerbank 24.000 mah make sure its 100w + Walla your game time went up 2 hours to 8 hours if your still not at charging outlet than I dont know buy 2 powerbands' 😂😂
Hi what's the name of the game at 0:19
Over watch
You can take the analogue off
Its not a joycon, joycon belongs to nintendo. Its a removable analog controller.
but….. joycon is more fun to say and I’m not affiliated with any of these companies
remove the joysdtick and put into the OEM cover ;-)
Yeah... Buy a pc..
You need a GPD Win Max 2
Stop sliding it around when its on the kickstand, your scratching the bottom lol
All it needs is to get cheaper
