Legion Go Review: 4 Months Later: Waste of Your Money?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- The Legion Go 4 months later is still quite a large competitor to the Asus ROG Ally and Steamdeck. The Legion Go 4 months later has gotten some software updates which have helped elevate the sfotware department, but there is still some rom for growth. I walk you guys through my experience with the Legion GO over these last 4 months, and hopefully this helps you decided if it is a good fit for you :)

Got mine on Ebay for $600 with a 1T SD card and a 2T SSD upgrade already the guy even sent me the original 1T SSD in a box and I love this thing its great.
Whoa, that's an EXCELLENT deal! Nice haul! Glad you're living it so far 😁
@@David.AVelezhey I have a question, I am planning to buy a legion go. But I want to play it with 4 people at the same time (with ps5 controllers), is that possible?
They sell for like £200 on vinted I was gobsmacked
@@abigailrostern6560 is that website legit?
@@abigailrostern6560what’s that
Hey David, I actually picked up my Go after watching your last comparison video. Have to say I have had a blast with this device. Coming from a lifetime of console only gaming, this thing has actually been incredible to set up and play games on - which is exactly what I use it for. Great video as always!
Hey there! Oh wow, that's awesome to hear! This is why I love the RUclips thing :) Being able to share my experiences, practical applications of tech and helping you guys make decisions on what you might end up preferring. It doesn't always work out that way of course, but your comment made me super happy :) I'm glad you're loving it!
What games are you playing now?
@@David.AVelez Currently I'm playing High on Life and I am so impressed with how it looks and runs! Got a LOT of games in my Steam Wishlist so I'll be working through those at some point. Some indies and some AAA, quite a varied list.
I have always been a console gamer and hated pc gaming because of my brother. He had a serious WOW addiction and that really put me off of pc gaming. But I ended up getting a gaming desktop and tried it out and I fell in love lol. Then I saw a video about the Legion Go…. I spent months researching to decide which one I wanted and I went for the Go. It was the best decision I’ve ever made when it comes to gaming and I love it! I am always on it!
Great video. I've been looking at many different video reviews on the Legion Go vs ROG Ally. Been on the fence between the two. Your video just tipped me over onto the Legion Go side. I definitely will be purchasing one. Thanks.
Hey I am planning to buy a legion go but I am playing with 4 people (with ps5 controllers), is that possible?
Message to everyone: If the Legion Go is too heavy for you to hold and play, then you should be working out, not playing games.
"Weight is not the Legion Go's weakness. It's yours."
-Meow
How about people with hand deformities? Or those that had operation lol
This is hilarious 😂
@@creauspssrb627 why are they playing with handhelds then? if they want to they should know the risk. its not lenovos fault. the % of those users are below 1%. 99% of people who bought these people without disabilities.
what the guy said was true. working out with 15lbs of dumbles would help if you cant lift 50lbs
Get the mental health help you need, my guy. Obviously everyone has different circumstances that aren't related to not being in shape. Plenty of people have medical issues that impacts how long they can hold stuff up for.
Since last november I was so excited to get a Legion Go but I had just bought a laptop. Last month, I sold both my Steam Deck and my laptop to get the Legion Go. It was the best purchase I did in years. I'm loving mine and using it everyday!
Any tips for starting it up? I’ve never owned a Windows machine and I know there’s going to be a lot of maintenance on this thing. First order of business - download and play Palia. I will need 2 performance modes - one for streaming so highest settings possible, and one for bed gaming so as long as it still loos better than Switch version I can have those settings low.
Did you have the steam deck oled?
Dude, I did the same thing. Sold my switch, steamdeck, and the ally. It's my daily driver. I even got rid of my PS5
@@jaymoose4337so I am planning to buy a legion go but I am planning to play it with 4 people (with ps5 controllers), is that possible?
@@jaymoose4337 can I ask what your thoughts are to this day? I had my ps5 stolen and am saving up for either the Legion go, a gaming laptop, or pc
I bought the GO and your video definitely helped in making that decision. Awesome and well thought out video.
Woah this looks awesome didn’t even know something like this existed I might this in a few months to finally get into some PC games
Got mine yesterday and so far no issue. Only the battery wont last 1.45 - 2hrs playing AAA games. But if only used it for media player it will go higher maybe aroung 4-5 hrs I guess.
I would say the most I've ever gotten playing a bigger game at Max TDP is around that 130-145 mark but never any more than that. But that's usually all that I need anyway and then I'm off to doing something else.
Glad you're enjoying it so far!
Ordered one today open box excellent from Best Buy for $630 bucks.
Am I should wait for legion go 2 or buy one now ? Please advice
I have bowel issues, so sitting down is incredibly painful for me even after 2 operations. I purchased one today thanks for the review ❤
Thanks for the frame rate tip... I am planning to get a legion go ... and probably would not have enjoyed playing as much without your tip.
Thanks for the review. Helps in my Steam Deck vs Legion Go research.
What did you get brother
@Cholostyle10 Settled on the Steam Deck. It appears that the legion go has some issues launching some steam game (steam deck is built for steam games), and with some adjustments, you can use cloud gaming or emulations on the steam deck (basically making it a lighter Legion Go).
Best buy has an open box 1 TB for 594 excellent condition. Thinking of getting it.
That's an AMAZING deal! Especially for it being 1TB!
That's where I goot mine!
Been going back and forth on getting this. Still undecided. I think the heavyness of it is less an issue than bulk and how it feels around the hands and grip.
Very professional review. I buy one. Tx you David.
I picked up the Legion go for pretty cheap And I'm glad I did cause it's a great piece of kit
That's awesome! How much did you find it for?
@@David.AVelez £588 which now they have gone back up to £699
Same I got mine for around 680
@anthonycross396 nice discount!
I'm looking forward to see how the Ally 2 competes
@@David.AVelez Can you connect this to MacBook Air? I mean just to display games.
And is it capable of playing split screen games with two ps5 controllers?
Nice video, i think the only way they could have forward-facing speakers, is if they redesign it so you couldn't detach the controllers, because the speakers would have to be on them.
This is a great point!
Or else you'd have the game sound blasting out of your hands when detaching the controllers 🤣
Switch pulls it off very nicely. But it’s a different machine with less demands.
@David.AVelez I just use my Samsung Buds Pro earphones, and they sound great with my legion go!
Im so torn between the SD OLED and the legion go man.....
Its like so hard to choose cus i really want a machine with windows so i can semi use it for some uni work cus my normal gaming laptop is heavy af to carey everyday, also i can get a lot bigger range of games on the legion
But the SD OLED man you gotta give it to them for low TDP performance and that crazy good screen.
Part of me also likes the detachable controller which becomes a mouse but i cant rlly guarantee ill like it without trying it out first
Honestly frustrating when i cant pick 💀
Go with Legion go I love mine it's a mini Pc.
I had an ally and sold it and got a deck. No regrets. However I didn't need the ally for desktop use, so that would depend on what's best for you. For me the battery is king.
so, which one would you get if you had none? Steam Deck, Rog Ally or Legion Go?
Legion Go!
I've been looking at all of these for a while. I mainly want to play Valheim and would prefer to use a mouse/keyboard. I assume that is possible? I just want something more portable. Small 85key keyboard and wireless mouse.
I love my legion go it's like a Swiss army knife . You can play docked , in handheld, fps mode , or remove the controllers and flip it to portrait and use it as a tablet with a universal stylus . I usually play docked at home and when I want to watch movies I plug it up to my bedroom TV and remove the right controllers and use the touchpad to navigate through my movies. I play most of my games at 800P with games set to low with Radeon image sharpening up to the 70% to bring back some detail and get better battery life .
I just wish there was an option to purchase some fps pro controllers that can adjust the triggers with console sized thumbsticks with a different look to stand out from the regular controllers .
You hit the nail on the head SEVERAL times in this post! The Go does so many things really well which is amazing. I absolutely love this thing.
I'm glad you have found so many good, practical users for it!
Pro controllers are something I have not considered 👀
Ah f---. I think you sold me on it DV. I especially love the versatility of it, more than just use for gaming.
I love mine once you get it dialed in it's great
Heck yes! More of a learning curve than the deck, but nothing to crazy I don't think!
What about some comparability of some games to this screen? Is it true that some games are not compatible?
I’ve got mine a week and I love this thing.
Let's go! I'm so happy you're loving it too!
Help please! This is the device that I have been interested in the most, but I am very leary about getting it. I love my Steam Deck and how easy it is to jump into games because I've always been a console gamer. I'm intimidated by PC gaming and find it to be a headache overall. My buddy let me borrow his ROG Ally, and, while I was impressed by its firepower, I really didn't like its interface compared to the Steam deck. Plus, I wasn't so impressed that I thought the Deck was inferior or anything. Sorry for the convoluted explanation. My question is, should I get this, or just stick with the Steam Deck?
P.S. My SD is the 64GB model, so I've also been considering upgrading to the Oled. Just letting you guys know exactly where I am coming from. 😅
Hello there. Idk if it matters anymore, but yeah, if you can, upgrading to the oled model is a decent upgrade. More battery, much better screen with better quality and slightly better size (same resolution tho) and a slight improvement in ram to be a lil bit more powerful. I've watched many reviews, and as you said, it mostly comes to that... It is clear. The legion go is way more powerful, it has way more flexibility cos basically is a handheld pc, but with great power... Comes greater issues. The battery lasts less, it's a lil bit heavier, And, as you said, the main thing is the "simplicity" steam deck, as a videogame console, is pretty much set and go. The legion has some issues which you need to fix and tweak so you can have a much better experience, with better graphics and better performance. If you're not willing to learn, or that causes you anxiety or simply you do not like that, then stay with the steam deck :3
@@rainme963 Very helpful! Thank you so much for your advice!
I got my legion go recently & it all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
ROG ally is a streaming console so that for me goes put of the window since I can do the same exact things on my cell phone & tablet.
The Steam Deck & Legion Go are better options in my opinion.
My only issue is trying to enjoy games like Mafia 3, it runs horrible unless you know how to tweak your settings.
I literally went right back to Sleeping Dogs, one of the most underrated games & sad to know the developer is gone and no one got their hands on that IP.
Sadly I didn't have my Legion Go while I was Hospitalized, it would have came in super handy then 😭
I 100% agree that it comes down to personal preference and that's something that I emphasize a lot more in my video comparing the 3 of them.
All are realy nice, and it comes down to what the consumer is looking for.
There are some nice websites that have a lost of optimized setting for the games for the Ally (and Go by extension since they're on the same chip).
And oh no! Why were you hospitalized?
That might be too personal a question, so you don't have to answer, but I hope you're doing better now!
Well, what your recomended to me. The Go or Ally ?
If higher budget go for legion. But rog aint bad either, but its on discount tho
I sold my Steam Deck to buy the Legion GO and I have zero regrets even tough I enjoyed the Steam Deck a lot.
I was really tired of the dual boot on the Steam Deck, the screen was too small to my liking, the lack of power, etc. The screen on the Legion Go is perfect I love the fact that it can pretty much do everything.
That definitely makes sense why you liked the Deck, and I think it's cool that you left your options open and found something you love more too.
Both are great!
I did the same thing and sold mine. The Steam Deck was good but it couldn't handle the most demanding games. Now with the Legion Go I can play most games at 1080p with 60fps. I'm loving mine!
I just got one of these and I'm loving it.
Awesome! It's a great device, I'm glad you're loving it too!
This was perfect to know b4 I buy it
Side note you are very good at what your doing so thank you
nice vid. Torn between this and rog ally. One thing, your video is nice but the color grading is kinda off. its too washed out. Well thats only my opinon.
Some people mention color grading is a bit off but I'm not sure 😅 On my Macbook it looks fine, and sometimes depending on the phone I use to watch it on RUclips, it looks a bit washed out 🤔
Still trying to figure it out, but I app the feedback!
I used mine for 2 weeks and had to take it back which is a bummer i liked the device but while diagnosing heating issues with lenovo it hit 99.5C on the cpu just doing a scan either theres a massive overlooked bug lenovo missed or my unit was behaving oddly, *note it only got hot while charging whether running thunderbolt or the stock charger i was hitting upper 80s with the Lego and my nvme was also around 80C which is bad for it, the bug i think i had or others might have and your free to check my cpu package was running around 34 watts at all times even on the desktop just idling, the cpu was also running around 4.1-4.3 on all cores supposed to be 3.3 ghz i tried changing tdp to 5 watts no change 15 watts etc no change to the cpu package, os modes in legion space did nothing changing actual windows power proflies didnt change anything something to keep an eye on LeGo owners, great video and id love to hear if anyone else notices the temps being much higher plugged in vs on battery, Lenovo advised me to take it back while i still had a return window and like i said i loved the LeGo alot its a great machine but long term with those temps had me worried, Great video as always David!
Not to mention the left speaker static noise issues, and the coil fan wine sounds like a 747 taking off.
Thanks for the honest review i think I made a good choice, I've just bought one on buy now pay later, should take me about 4 to 5 months to pay it off.
I had one but returned it cause of the annoying fan whine and left speaker crackle that was a big issue for me. Hopefully the next revision fixes all the small issues.
Sorry you dealt with fan noise! I did forget to mention that the Legion Go has the loudest fans of the three for sure
Hopefully it can be fixed, I agree! Did you get an Ally or Deck instead?
@@David.AVelez I stuck with my steam deck oled since I don’t really play AAA games a lot.
@@lilchunnky78 That makes sense! The Deck Oled is a great device!
my only problem is battery so weak an d theres no front camera for video calls and face unlock
Yo, A Mac dude bought a Windows Mini PC to play games!! Betrayer, lol!!
I'm actually working off mine as we speak. It's insane what this device can do. It runs smoother than my current PC, & the emulation of video games is amazing. I got the 1T for about $700 open box from Best Buy, & I honestly don't regret it. My only two gripes is that it's heavy, and the battery dies fast. Yet that's easily fixed by using it with a dock at home, and carrying a power bank on the go. I took a long time deciding between this, the steam deck OLED, and the Rog ally. It's more powerful than the Steam deck, can play windows games, and doesn't have the micro SD problem the Rog ally has.
This is my next purchase, 3 more weeks till I get it!!!!🎉
LETS GOOOOOOOOO, enjoy! It's awesome and they still regularly update with new features!
I hope that asus takes some notes and incorporates all this on the ally 2. Hall effect controllers are a huge want aswell. Detatchable controllers that look ergonomic as hell, bigger screen with small bezels, and longer battery for the ally 2 would be game changing.
Absolutely love the software incorporated on the ally too.
Still torn between the go and ally. Went in to Best Buy to see them in person and I feel like the 2 things that actually worry me a bit about the go is 1. how bulky (not heavy) it is, I was actually surprised how light it was but also didn’t expect it to be so huge (was also expecting the ally to be smaller) and 2. what concerns me more is I’m worried all the buttons/triggers on the back will annoy me. Besides that the go on paper is definitely more appealing but like I said I’m worried it’s going to be a bit uncomfortable or annoying to be touching 5 buttons on the back accidentally all the time….
Hi, Floppy Taco!
As far the back buttons go, they're non-intrusive in my experience! They meld pretty well into the back of the device and they do not have to do anything if you don't want them to.
That being said, the Go is definitely a much chunkier boi than the Ally, so I definitely get that.
For me, the big screen, great hand curves in the grips and Kickstand make up for it.
But absolutely 100% personal preference
@@David.AVelez
Hi, David!
Thank you for addressing me by my formal name 😂 (I always forget this is still my username).
But on a serious note I very much appreciate the reply and feedback. I actually wasn’t even considering the go until I saw some of your videos on it. For the buttons on the back (which might be my biggest problem) you’re right, I don’t think it’ll be much of an issue if I keep them unmapped. And as far as the size goes I think I have to agree that the other features make up for it. On top of that, while the ally is smaller and a bit more “portable” it’s still a pretty big console and the more I think of it the more I start to feel that the difference in size is as negligible as the difference in weight.
That’s all to say I believe I’ve made my decision and will be choosing the “LeGo”. Thanks again for the feedback and videos, it was all very helpful!
I suppose they're top firing speakers because of the detachable controllers not being able to have the speakers on them. So to keep the bezel around the screen small, they placed the speakers at the top and had them top firing not front.
I picked up the 1tb model from Best Buy open box deal for 600 I love this machine better than SD and ROG ally love the versatility of this device along with this gorgeous screen .
Hey so I want to buy the legion go but I want to play with 4 people with ps5 controllers, is that possible?
I got the legion go 2 days ago off ebay for $550, im absolutely in love with it. Soon when im get more money, im going to uograde to 32GB of ram and 4TB of SSD. The LeGo is just beautiful.
I'm planning on doing that upgrade too! It's great that the instillation looks easy to do.
@@Dirt_heart I'm sending my LeGo to SlickBuys so he can modify/upgrade my LeGo. He has a RUclips channel showing all this. He's truly talented.
32gb ram and ssd? isnt that gonna be more expensive than 550 legion go? i mean 1 tb cost over 100usd
@@user-li6ns2lk3z Maybe but slickbuy offered $500 including mail+delivery for 4TB and 32GB ram update along with some fan upgrade. I'm just waiting for a reply to see if he can also upgrade the battery on the LeGo
@@user-li6ns2lk3z Not at all
I've been on the fence to get the legion go I'm just afraid to deal with Windows 11 because all I've been hearing is that it gives you a lot of stress what do you think about that
Windows 11 has never stressed me out. I'm a casual tho. So I don't know what bothers people about windows 11 but it's definitely not stressful
Windows is fine for most people. Better support overall for games, no need for a proton/wine passthrough layer (which does cause additional fps loss, anyone saying otherwise is lying). Not saying SteamDeck is bad, its just this is definitely better.
The setup is a little annoying, but once you have it done, everything is worth the trouble. It's honestly the better device compared to others.
I would honestly say I have not had a big problem with Windows! It's been a very smooth experience for me, thankfully.
Some Windows jank, but things work the way I expect them to 97% of the time
I agree! There's some jank but it mostly the works the way you expect
My Maddeb 24 will not run properly, they say the graphics card isn't big enough. Has anybody else had that problem?
As much as i heavily contemplated getting the LGO, i could not get past the fact that the software is nowhere near being polished enough for a decent Windows based handheld experience (most of the problem is windows side but the software is making it worse), ended up getting the Deck OLED and hopefully 2nd gen handhelds from the big companies will be in a better place with experiences from this gen being carried forward.
Now if only Microsoft would pull itself together and make a decent Windows handheld front end that is not kb/m restricted that hopefully shuts the OS up to conserve resources when in handheld mode.
Mainly driving Windows since 3.0 but is really cumbersome on a handheld and it shows, SteamOS is just more fluid and natural in every way with desktop/handheld modes being the icing on the cake for each use case without sacrificing the limited resources we have in that form factor.
I truly believe the next legion will be worth getting with better speakers and battery and display.
Think it be useable nice visual novel tablet? I might use it without joycons cause due to my disability the lighter the better and I just want a decent visual novel tablet for learning Japanese that doesn’t seem like a rip off or bad like a surface go or is too big like surface pros
So if an have an Xbox, can I play my games there with my current purchases and achievements???
Correct! You connect your XBox game pass account and you're good to go!
700th like 🎉 thanks for convincing me to get it
The Legion go is so Amazing!! You need to buy one I play my go more than my Playstation or Xbox true story
Haha, I love the ringing endorsement! Definitely one of my favorite pieces of tech!
Hi bro , I am thinking to buy it,I want to know one thing that, I do forex trading and love to play games, so on this device ,I can browse same as laptop and download things? Also can ply games?
Cz if it works like that then no reason to buy a s9 fE plus Samsung tablet.
Plz suggest me
Legion or Steam Oled? I’m puzzled 😕
Awesome review! Go birds
AS an audio entisiast, I hate what you did with the EQ
Sorry 😅
I had issues after playing helldivers 2 for a while when charging it crackles - not sure if it’s the game or the device.
Crackling while charging? Super interesting! A visit to the r/LegionGo reddit might find and answer for you!
It might be the game because that happened to me once while playing HD2 on the Steam Deck.
Great video 👍new subscriber I like legion go but speaker is just poor. I think the ally 2 gen will be better
Hi there! Thanks so much for joining along for the journey 😁
The Speaker is poor, unfortunately. Very sad. The tweaks in the options help, but still a far cry from the Ally and Deck
Your video made me spend the money 😂 I've had the steam deck OG since it's launch and I've always wanted just more. So with that said the more I watched videos and videos I pulled the trigger and ordered mine. Hurry up UPS and get it into my hands already 😢
UPS HURRY AND GET IT INTO THIS HUMANS HANDS!
Hahaha, I'm glad you pulled the trigger and I hope you love it as much as I do!
i got a SD OLED and i love it. So clean compared to the design of the other PC handhelds, plus i dont mind learning how to use Linux. Been on Windows all my life. And no you dont get 1-2 hrs on SD lol, ive been getting 4+ with Persona 3. 3 hrs for sure. or 10 hrs with emulations
The SD Oled is awesome! I 100% understand the appeal. And sorry, the 2 hours was more my experience on high end AAA games like FF7 Remake and the like. You ate 100% right that it gets a ton more battery on other games!
Is getting the device setup up out of the box that hard? Do I have to fiddle with a ton of settings to game well?
Hi! Honestly, I don't think so! Pretty straightforward. You just set up/login to your Microsoft accounts, set up a PIN, etc.
And then Legion Space has launchers for Steam and other platforms,
You login, and you're good to go!
@@David.AVelez Based thanks! I saw that the legion space thing now has all updates like drivers and stuff from the program and then you just download windows updates. I think I'll pick one up.
nah it was easy settin mine up !
It’s dope but yeah it kinda can get heavy
Hahahah, definitely. Especially if you're going all hands (no table) for an hour
Been playing DBZ Budakai Tenkaichi 3, Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Pokemon Stadium, and a bunch of other Gameboy games. Love the Legion so much. My only gripe with it the abysmal battery life which does suck & the other is the ergonomics of it but i like having it on the kickstand with a controller so not totally bad. Other than that this thing is a beast for a lot of things especially emulation
As the only one with detachable joy cons, if you don't want to hold something heavy two joy cons is lighter than any other handheld haha.
Do you get the sound of something connecting or disconnecting from a USB port right after windows boots up? I keep getting a weird tone like that right after windows starts every time and its annoying.
Yup, I believe it's due to the controllers reconnecting for some reason
I velcro'd my 2TB sandisk ssd to the kickstand & cabled it to the bottom usb. Emulation is now infinitely better.
Velcro is an underrated solution to most problems ❤️
It doesnt have two trackpads like the steam deck so its unfortunately not useful for me as I use those 90% of the time for pretty much everything.
Great point! That's not something I really use much on the SD so I forgot to mention it, but your raise a great point that's 100% valid!
Are you experiencing any controller wobble?
Thankfully, no! I did not even know people were experiencing that but it makes sense considering how the controllers detach
I saw someone tell in a video that a bit of electrician's tape on the controllers is enough to make the wobble go away. I haven't experienced it yet. But I haven't also detached my controllers that much yet. So it might get worse when it gets a bit more worn in.
If i were to play and keep it plugged in for hours just to get a better performance, does that harm the battery on the long run of the device?
Use bypass charging
I play a lot of sport games such as nba 2k, im looking for a handheld device. Is this worth it to remote play my Xbox?
Man u dont want to play sports game with remote play especially 2k it has latency and lag already u gone miss every shot
@David A. Velez, I also own a Legion Go and work in mental health. The organization that I work for does not allow us to use our documentation system on personal machines. I guess it is because the implementation of firewalls and security to protect patient information. Did you have any problems with that when trying to set that up? I would not say that they do not allow us but rather I have never been able to get it to work.
Very cool that you work in mental health also! For the software we use, we have to download Silverlight and another firewall type software before we can run the Clientel Program, but I can do all of that on the Go and Ally no problem!
@David.AVelez we use a web application that has a url tied to our organization. That's the best way I can describe it. We still have to have firewalls on our company laptops and tablets. I think I would end up getting in trouble using my go. I'd be gaming on my lunches instead of taking working lunches like I do now lol.
I am a mental health advocate, have taught Nami’s Peer to Peer 8 week course on mental health education for adults three times now so I love you both work in mental health!! We need you! You are both healers!
I use the Xreal 2 pro glasses with my legion go and im so good.
Very nice! Having that immersive AR/VR experience is awesome!
I got my legion go last month atfer watching your first video about, once i saw i could play madden on it i had to have it lol. I got mine 1TB from best buy open for $644 and it wasn’t even opened when i got it lol. But i dont see me ever getting rid of it until the go 2 releases.
If the Go 2 releases. I don't think the sales have been amazing
Love my GO!
Absolutely and unequivocally yes it is worth every penny!!!!
What this guy said!
How does this compare to a laptop? I’m not sure wether like surface book or this.. I already have Nintendo switch and a gaming desktop
Anyone else in this similar place? Thanks anyone 🙏
Legion is the best hands down, I have mine since launch never looked back from the deck as the display is amazingly awesome.
I did NOT think I was going to like the Go so much. It's amazing 🤩
It sort of ruined the Ally display for me. It's hard to go back to the Ally after using the Go
I love my legion go. Plus I have the onexplayer x1. Like them both.
I have a onexplayer as well. What are the similarities and differences between the two?
Getting mine in 3 days... Can't wait!
Especially with so many nice top down games coming out!
How is it? I’m thinking about picking one up
@@ExilePerformanceGarageSo far so good! just got this morning! setting up everything
Let's go! I'm so excited for you! I hope you love it too!
LETS GOOOOO
It seems he enjoys it as well !
I bought a renewed for 650 but it came with a virus that came back even after i reset windows. I installed tiny 11 and all the drivers etc. Probably runs better than the original windows with its bloat
Just got mine today before work! Can't wait to get home and get some games on it.
I just today finally for the first time in a long time went into a best buy and was able to take a look at the legion go and rog ally. I was shocked with just how bad the legion go feels like just the dpad feels soooooooo bad and the face buttons aren't much better I thought the way it feels isn't even close to ally or steam deck. Also those sticks are so small for what it's such a massive handheld super weird decision to use small sticks
Owning multiple Lenovo devices it’s funny. The sound quality is always garbage in there devices. I’ll keep buying them because they’r hardware is otherwise top notch. I will say though I can’t wait to see them really start to improve on the audio
I just wish Best Buy had display units. I'm already over that stage of wanting to try it but it would've been nice
They have a 14-day return policy. Buy one and try it out.
Best Buy has a good return policy of two weeks, I definitely think its worth giving that a shot!
I said the same thing without checking the comments 😂
This guy is 100% right!
Give it a shot OP!
I have both, the ally and the legion go; But I use the legion go. Not most of the time, every time.
Legion is too gimmicky to be taken seriously, ASUS ROG Ally has more power than Steam Deck on paper but world world experience is quite different and Steam Deck is for people who simply want to boot up a game and play. There, saved you guys time...
Can you connect this to MacBook Air? I mean just to display games.
And is it capable of playing split screen games with two ps5 controllers?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
No because MacBook Air doesn't have a video input port. Splitscreen with 2 controllers will work but keep in mind that it is more strain on the system so depending on the game performance can take a hit
@@jordirapper thank you 🙌🏽
Liked ur video very informative 👍
Iv got a steam deck lcd model and love that thing looking into getting the legion go (at the right price though ) 😂I’m in oz so it’s more like $1400 here.
I like the screen size and Xbox style sticks, being a big Xbox player myself
YES
YES!
Yes. No question
Full blown powerful windows pc and gaming handheld
its ok but i think ally rog is still better. When you try to downscale the graphics it looks super choppy compare to ally rog.
this computer im on making this post is a old amd A6 vision the old prototype apu. its a hp pavilion with no gpu on the board like the previous hp pavilion i had that was only 2 years older that died playing mugen 1 day. it can play skyrim and resident evil 6.its on windows 7 that was debloated . i bought a legion go because the power supply was acting odd and the ram is old. the legion go on windows 11 debloated is only 1.25 times as strong at the same clock speeds. the z1 extreme can go a bit higher but capped to 3.5 ghz they are virtually identical. thats how bad windows 11 is. hsi which is supported by directX 12 actually makes the gpu cores bogged down with system processes and amd put fewer gpu cores and added more cpu cores. you never reach 50% cpu usage
honestly rocking my gpd4 love it
That's awesome!
How much better performance/graphical fidelity are you able to get with it?
Go in realtek and change audio settings
More then doubles audio output
If they throw an OLED screen in there, I’ll happily pay $800 for it. Otherwise, I’ll stick with my Steam Deck OLED for now.
I have the go I had 3 ally’s as card port fried everytime
Sorry about the Ally SD Slot issues. I've never tried the SD Card, just using the SSD and got an SSD from Lexar which has been great.
BUT, so many people have had issues with the SD Slot and that's definitely not okay
I just want to know if someone can please share their experience on whether 16GB of RAM is enough or not?
Ya my legion go works great with 16gb. I play lots of current games on it like rdr2 gta 5 mad max wwe2k23 days gone dying light 2 spider man miles morales so ya it plays just fine.
it's enough for most game unless you only play AAA game
Best pc handheld for me. I play it docked on my tv with my RTX 3080 and egpu, 4k max settings. I play it that way probably 65% of the time, and 45% just handheld with no egpu. Love it!
You use aorus rtx 3080 gaming box?
Hey I am planning to buy the legion go and play it with 4 people in the same legion go with ps5 controllers, is that possible?
This device replace with Android tab it's good full functional os
Yes!
Human made best device ever......... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent video! I have an iPad Pro M1, I’m interested in the Go as a media consumption device to watch RUclips, RUclipsTV, Netflix, the WNBA, Hulu, Kindle, browse the web, play games etc. I never see people show Netflix, TV or movies on it! I know the focus on it is gaming but it is a windows device so a person can do OTHER things besides gaming on it. I do not have a PlayStation so I’m wondering how the premium version of PS plus looks on the Go which allows a pc user to stream PS4 games and some classic PS games without even owning a PlayStation. Anyway, I am very LGBTQ+ so not attracted to to men at all, but I think you are a very handsome man!!
I don’t support LGBTQ
It use to play fornite so good but after a week just lots of lags an fps drops
Oh! That's odd 🤔 Sometimes it's the windows drivers updates that mess things up a bit.
Visit the r/LegionGo reddit, they usually have people over there with similar experiences and that can remedy things!
Yes
its not a waste of money
Agreed 😂
Doube Agreed 😂
Bro you looks like Tony Gonzalez jr :D
