I'm not a gamer, but the 2023 seems to be the best small tablet out there bar none. For someone who wants a device for media consumption, books, notes or even some productivity with the desktop mode, this is by far the most well-rounded package out there. The only ways it could be better is with a headphone jack and maybe an OLED display, but the latter would jack up the price... Either way, for what most people actually need from a small tablet, this seems to be the way to go! Maybe I'll wait another year and get the 2023 one hugely discounted.
I decided to get the Y700 2023. I mostly want to use it to play PS2 and below and the difference in performance is minimal for the price difference and I got a pretty good deal on the 2023 version. Having the micro sd card slot is a big advantage as well especially if you want to load it with games.
It totaly different. God of wars 2 Ps2 2025 run at 4-5x at 50Fps 2023 run 2.5-3x at 50Fps Stray Switch 2023 little lag 2025 smooth Most of switch 2025 is a lot better. Moonlight 2023 Hevc 2025 AV1 very low ping.
I have both gen 1 (2022) & gen 2 (2023) and they performed really well for my gaming needs until now ...i think it doesn't necessary to own this one yet since it's flaw such as no sd slot and the the huge branding on it's back.. hope next year would be better... 8 Elite perhaps and SD slot available 😊
I'm new to the Legion ecosystem. I wasn't even really thinking about a new tablet until maybe a week ago. Fast forwarding to researching the best gaming tablets over a period of days and I landed on the y700 in terms of price and performance. I was trying to stay within a price range so it was either the 2023 at 16/512 or the 2025 at 12/256. I ultimately decided that I likely won't need (for the level of emulation and app store games I play) storage beyond 256GB and 12GB RAM is certainly sufficient. So I opted for the more up-to-date CPU. Your vids helped my with my decision making. Thanks!
@@cyreaIa lot can be done with extra expansion,,,, for starter my comic collection alone almost 150 gb at this point,,, i use External only for the storage and internal only for the system and a game for smoother experience Especially the game size for PS2 3DS and Switch is nothing to scoff at,,, so extra storage is a blessing Everyone use their tablet for different purpose and having extra feature is always welcome
I use tachiyomi for comic and having almost 2000+ entry on my library I sometimes travel to places where internet is hardly available (i live in indonesia) so having my favourite comic and movie available in my tablet is important 😂
Awesome Comparation video... Already got the accessories... Magnetic Case... Stylus... Screen protector... Another 1Tb Micro SD-card...

BsP D8 Bluetooth Controller ( Sky Black or Star Space White Edition) Which fits... Any PS-5 Portal Carrying Case... 🧐🤔
These days it's not the hardware. It's the software availability. I have a iphone 6s plus which works fine. But no software updates. So practically it's 2usd per kg
i know you r not asking me, but just for refrences, im playing wuthering waves on y700 2023 version, and it did consistently runs at 55-60 fps. maybe the 2025 version can run smoother
I do wish the Lenovo Legion Y700 had and LTE/5G model, then it would be perfect

Is it good enough to play any ps2 games? I don't mind playing at native resolution i just want to play ps2 games
@@rayto8705 Even a 5 year old chip (SD865) Can run most PS2 games at 2X reso. So that would be no issue to a device that has 8+ Gen 1 chip
This was a great video
Btw if yall are confused, the 24 is the same as the 25
It totaly different.

I’m so glad I could help! Please let me know if there are any other videos I could make to help you out.
@@TheSpareTechRoom Does the Lenovo legion 8.8 2023 tablet support Aptx audio under Bluetooth?
I appreciate the video but there isn't much an improvement because you only went through emulation of older systems.
I'm still on the fence :/
how long are they supported?
Could you compare 3DS emulation between the two?
Can you tell me if it gives pen support. If yes, then how is the performance?
Does the 2023 model have native Desktop Mode like the 2025 model?
yes it does have a desktop mode
I am actually waiting for the thermals, that would probably talk who's better.
Just ordered the 2023 model
Thank you, i have the 2023 model and i wont upgrate, there is no really gain. May be the next with sn 8 elite
if it doesn't have a micro sd slot, then itll be trash too.
@@Greidaon why would you need sd card at 512 gb storage on an Android tablet? I'd understand if it was a console, but it isn't

Are the screen standard glossy screens or do they have matte or antireflective coatings?
It has matte version of 2025 version
Nah. Way cheaper for 2023 edition at $260 and 2025 at $340. Albeit with coupons
