    Legion Go vs. Ally X. Which one wins the battle in your opinion? Comment here!

    @largaCat День тому +2

    Im getting the Ally X next month. I checked the Legion Go but it was just WAAAAAY too big for me. Its huuuge. So I picked the Ally X for portability, VRR, 80watts battery and 24gb RAM.

    I have the Go and OG Ally. Really love the screen on the GO and the size is great for playing at home. The Ally is great for taking on the road and tossing in a bag. I think the smoothness of the Ally with VRR is massive. The Ally is butter smooth but I always feel that choppiness on the GO. When you switch back and forth between the two iss very noticeable

      There's no way you have a Go because from everything I've seen, there has been no tearing or choppyness coming from the screen even tho it has no vrr. Any review. And hands on itself. I don't get any of that

    Great video I really enjoyed it keep up the good work. I have the Legion Go and the original ROG Ally. One use case for these hand held devices is the streaming services. GeForce Now 4080 service is absolutely amazing on these hand held devices. Imagine playing Cyberpunk 2077 at max setting with the highest ray traced setting (I think it's called path tracing or something like that) at 1080p or higher, you will get around 80 - 100 FPS of smooth game play. Battery life on the Legion Go while steaming is around 4 - 5 hours. Also Xbox, PlayStation and PC streaming work really well. So good it seems better than native game play.
    I would be interested in your options on using these streaming services with the Legion Go and ROG Ally X.

    I've recently sold my legion go, due to portability, battery life, fan noise and lack of support. The screen I'd beautiful super immersive but it means very little in the long run when u factor in the above. I will be purchasing the Asus rog ally x as it fixes all of the above and more.

      @HandheldHorizon Initially, I was actually really undecided about whether to switch or not, having to ensure I was plugged in to play long sessions was incredibly annoying to the point at times I just couldn't be bothered to play on a leash. Plus, the lack of support was just hugely disappointing, and if I'm honest, that worried me. I hope Lenovo gets it together. The legion go is a really good first product. Bigger battery, more RAM, maybe VRR, and a slightly smaller screen would be a good step forward.

    Thing that really annoys me, is the X is no different to the original Ally except they fixed their own cock up with the SD issue… and for this it costs £800 in the UK. I could understand if the screen was bigger, or internals upgraded etc except battery life (nothing a power bank can’t fix on original). But nothing worth while
