The Truth About The Legion Go VS ROG Ally!

  • I think that the only way to truly enjoy handheld pc gaming is with a windows based device. Luckily I had the chance to compare two of the greatest devices that meet that criteria, the Lenovo Legion Go and the Asus ROG Ally. After spending some time with both devices I have to make a decision as to which one I am going to keep as my main gaming handheld pc. In this video I go over my favorite things with each of the consoles and my not so favorite things as well.

    Which device would you recommend for someone who just wants a handheld to play/emulate older games, and mod those older games too? like PS1,PS2,PS3 and maybe a few PS4 games from before 2016. I don't have any interest in newer games and Im mostly going to play docked so battery life is not much of a concern. What do you think?

    • @anthonyroman5685
      @anthonyroman5685 29 дней назад +1

      I’d say go for the steam deck (oled) it has the best battery life and emudeck works the best on Linux since it was made for it I believe. Emudeck is the easiest thing ever for setting up all the emulator games you were talking about!

    great video and channel mate :) just took the plunge on a GO, already own an ally and sold me steam deck once i used the ally once hahaha.
    The ally is what it says on the tin, its a gaming handheld for gamers, the audio is stunning and the VRR 120hz screen is just soooo smooooooth to use, and i do actually really like the analogue sticks, it was/is also much easier to get up and running...... it does however run hotter than hell, i fitted a heatsink to mine and now all is well but its a lil heavier.
    the GO was much harder to like, but is more versatile. its a damn good media tablet that plays games, and i love the controller options. the 144hz screen is just stunning and the extra real estate from the 16:10 aspect ratio is welcome. the speakers can be tweeked via realtek app to give decent output but not as good as ally/deck. Even though its heavier than the ally, i find them both to be uncomfortable after a long gaming session, id actually say the GO was slightly more comfortable to me even with my small hands
    I find the ally to be a much better gaming experience, but can i fuuuuuq put the GO down hahahahahahaa..... but when i do go back to the ally im like... WOW!
    the plan was to sell the unit i least like, but i like them both too much for different reasons so im keeping them for now hahahaha. which ever one people choose ya wont be disappointed, its a dead heat in a pi55ing contest!

The legion go is better in every imaginable way. I use it every day for several different purposes in handheld and dock mode. The thing is amazing.

    That last point was what sold me. It's like Lenovo engineers worked out the largest screen size it could be and still be hand held. I'm not that big of a gamer, really. Bought it as an upgrade to my laptop. It may not be the best handheld gaming experience of all of them, but Legion Go is the only one in the current crop of handhelds that can do as a highly portable tablet/laptop.

    Thank you for the video it was informative for the generic consumer. However it would be more appreciated if you reduce the volume of the background music, it is almost as loud as your voice which can be distracting but in addition to the noise the mic picks up it becomes an unpleasant experience and honestly after 7 minutes it became difficult to push till the end, I guess at least the volume compression on the two devices was a needed break.
    No I don't mind the mic not having a crisp and clean recording I just honestly feel it'll be a better experience if the background music was lower, I know lots of small channels struggle with the balance too. These are just my thoughts do with that information what you will and best of luck.

      the frying SD cards is a total myth.
      I play games directly installed on my SD card and it's no problem at all.
      SD cards are not even made for constant transfers like this either, but it's still possible. Add a 2TB to an Ally Rog and there's nothing you can't do. Legion stutters and has lag where the Rog just has consistency.
      You might still be able to refund your Go if you want the true handheld experience :)

    For what I can tell and all the different reviews about the 2 devices, it's pretty much a preference. I've tried both, and I prefer the Levion go. Like i said, it's all about preference. It's all about what you prefer and what you like. Each has their own quirks. So, quit bashing the other and just pick one and decide for yourself. Don't listen to this guy's and other reviewers. Try them both out and judge for yourself. Pick what's right for you, period.

      @KrissyLilSheep Месяц назад

      the main reasons to upgrade to the Legion or the Ally is because the Deck runs linux and generally has problems running games with anti-cheat. either refusing to run them, or getting you banned for trying to get around it (games like Destiny 2, COD and Fortnite for some examples.) If playing those titles doesn't really matter for you or you like the extra battery life of the Deck, then you can save yourself $600-800~ish. The other reason to go for the Ally or Go would be playing games that aren't on steam but run on other launchers like Dauntless from the Epic Games launcher.

When I'm playing on Lenovo as handheld, after a while I'm always thinking about Ally how comfortable it is :) Then after play session my mind tells me that Lenovo's got more options, bigger screen, perfect scaling in 800p etc. The cherry on top is 2x USB4 in Legion Go for use with eGPU (I've build my own TB4 and testing it) while on Ally they force us to buy very expensive XG Mobile - USB4 on Ally over USB-C port is disabled :/ To be honest I still don't know which one to keep :) I wish the Ally got USB4 then probably I'd stick with it.

    I’ve been looking for a replacement for my ps4, stepping away from consoles in general because the ps5 thing was ridiculous and I need something portable. Personally, I refuse to buy the rog ally because of gamers nexus’s video on asus customer support. Doesn’t do me any good to get a device that has known defects and knowing I’ll be extorted when I need something to be fixed. I’m leaning towards the legion go, but the steam deck is also still a contender for me since all I need it to do is play video games with little to no hassle.

    I bought the ROG ally and I definitely don’t regret my choice. Would I have liked the bigger screen? Yes of course, but the ROG has something that I respect a lot. The XG mobile option, which upscales the gpu by a lot. It’s really expensive, but for a handheld pc that has the option to cast on a pc monitor, this is amazing. I have a desktop so I won’t be needed the XG mobile, but for those out there that have an ROG ally, you don’t need a desktop if you purchase the XG mobile. Also, upgrading the SSD was very easy and super streamlined through the myasus app. I went from the standard 512gb, to the 1TB and I had no issues doing the swap myself.
    All in all, I really enjoyed your vid and respect what you do my guy. Thanks for taking the time to make this and spread the good word about handheld pc gaming!!!

    I can relate to this scenario. I bought the deck in june of 2023, i was excited to get into the handheld wagon.
    The deck is slow. If you're a fella that has 400inde games on steam this is the device for you. AAA games flat outright are NOT playable.
    I tried installing windows on it. Both sd card and the ssd. Both experiences took more than a id expected and was not fun. Windows dedicated is the way to go. I played maybe 60hours on the deck and sold it, luckly in time before the OLED version came out.
    Ally looked great and i enjoyed holding it. But it does feel like a toy... But in a good way.
    The legion is a spaceship and look really higher end. Might pull the trigger on this one too just because it does do more than just GAME.

I made my daugther legion go better i did dual boot and put steam deck OS on it. You can also fix the legion go overheating while plugged in by going to bios and changing it to balance. Mine stayed to 70 to 77 °C. You can also fix FPS for lossness scaling. Can play any games without lagging or FPS scaling problems. If you know what to do. It is not that hard to mess around with it.

For the Ally I would hold it anyway I want. The only way I like to use the legion is in bed when it's resting on top of my stomach. That said, the Legion IMO still blows away the rog.
