Lenovo Legion Go: I Didn't Expect To Like It, But I Do. ❤️

- Is the Legion Go worth it? I certainly think so, it's not an overall better device than the Steam Deck, but it does have it's stengths. But are those reasons enough to pick it over the Deck?

Hello everyone! 🙂
I've made a few mistakes in my video (thanks for pointing that out!) and I just wanted to make sure that they are visible somewhere:
1. The controllers CAN be turned on when disconnected, just hold the Legion/Settings Overlay button for a few seconds
3. You CAN use them in 2-Player mode
2. In order for the integer scaling to work, you have to set the system resolution to 800p, not 1600p
Thank you!
Uh you were wrong about not being able to use the joycons individually with another person, you can there have been multiple videos about it, though it isn’t really great compared to the switch due to less buttons (no mini left and right trigger for instance and games not really being optimised for the smaller input.
@@oo--7714 Thanks, added it to the list 🙂
Im not sure the integer scaling is accurate. System can be at 1600p but you want games fullscreen not borderless and at a lower resolution
You get a like for the "Do I steam or do I Go"
And +1 for the music
I got a Legion Go for $500 used. I replaced my main computer with it. It works for me for now.
Just bought a 1tb one from my buddy who used it once, and didnt even take the stickers off 550. Im used to windows no problems yet.
That must have been quite the horrible computer for you to feel fine replacing it with something as limited as a handheld.
@SIPEROTH hard disagree. Some people love the convience of a portable abd touch screen you can set up anywhere. And many gamers maybe brought a killer pc but never upgraded their screen to take advantage of high refresh rates. Or find they majoroty play indie titles. Which this is kind of overkill for. Its weird going from 144 and 240htz gaming but being able to body double or parelal play no matter what your partner or friends interests are is kinda incredibe. Like im playing through fallout 3 and new vegas for the first time with the new begining mod pack that combines b0th games on the go.
@@SIPEROTH Hater let him enjoy his legion go
@@SIPEROTH how about not judging other people and letting them be happy? Also do you have a legion go? Probably not, id stay quiet if i were you
Dude I freaking love my legion go. I play it hooked up to a monitor with mouse and keyboard mostly and it works amazing. All these review videos are so critical, this thing is a badass machine
What Dock are you using brother? I’m going to purchase a LG as well after my June trip but, I don’t know which one to get.
I'm the same way, I have mine docked to my TV and play that way. It's basically a Switch on steroids but can use it as my PC as well.
@@averagemobileplayergfs7383 I just got a pretty basic one from Anker, has 2 usb ports and 2 usb-c and 1 hdmi hook up works great
Thumbnail and editing looks so professional! Props for making the legion go look amazing on display
Thank you! 🙂
Amazingly high quality and well done video with pretty useful tips, big thanks
Thank you! 🙂
Got one, it was a learning curve but I don't regret the purchase, the s reen size is most important to me, good tips thanks.
Easily the best overview/review of anything that i've ever had the pleasure to watch. You have literally covered everything that I wanted to know and more!!
Thank you :-)
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it so much! 🙂
The lego is perfect as i intend to use it for remote work as well. Just waiting on a good discount before jumping in
Me too. I would love to take steam but i like the additional options. probably will buy cheapest deck just for testing build of my games tho
Same boat, got the lego for a few months and never regretted for a second, work and game everywhere, now it’s my only device for everythi ng, sold my computer, gaming laptop, ipad, hopefully something can replace my phone in the future, like a smart watch with good batterylife
@@VechaiKoban man this is getting me excited. Where are those deals??
Great content as always!
Thank you so much! 🙂
i use the BASEUS 65W powerbank for my Legion GO and recommand it to you guys.
By the way: Nice job with the video, it looks very professional.
I use this one too and it’s worked fine
Thank you so much! And thanks for the power bank recommendation, will check it out! 🙂
How long will it last
I enjoyed this video, thanks. I love steam oled but i think i will love that big screen on the Go... decisions decisions...
Awesome video as always
Thanks again! 🙂
What a sick reviewwwwww 👏👏👏
Thank you! 🙇♂️
I’ve had my Go for a week now, and I am loving it. It’s a great little emulator and plays current games incredibly well, even if doing so kills the battery life. It’s just a versatile piece of kit. I fully plan on picking up a portable Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for it for when I need to do work on the go.
I think my only real criticism is the speakers. They’re probably the weakest part of the package, and I recommend either a good set of headphones or a dedicated Bluetooth speaker.
I love your content really nice !
Thank you so much! 🙂
Nice content! Subbed. As for integer scaling you need to set the native resolution to 800p
Thank you so much! 🙂
And oh my, sorry about that wrong info. There's quite a few conflicting infos on this around the web. Some said 800p some the native resolution. I did try both but still couldn't tell a difference 🙈
Really good review.
Thank you! 🙂
Nice vid mate!
Thank you! 🙂
The Go is hands down my favorite handheld. Windows 11 works great for me
Many thanks for this review, which one reccomend Lenovo legion go or steam deck OLED? COD games are very important for me also I want to use this devise for all of things not only for games ??
Legion go cod runs pretty good for me I don’t own a steam deck but heard there’s a lot of stuff that needs to be done to be able to play cod
The steam deck feels like a game console with an added desktop environment.
The legion Go feels like a PC with controllers attached to it.
I love both, the Deck controllers and buttons come out on top, but the legion go is more versatile.
I had the OG steam deck and eventually upgraded to OLED and purchased the Legion Go. I tried playing games like nba2k, diablo 4, but it seems these sample games runs smoother in steamdeck oled no matter how change the settings in the LG. The FPS mode with detaachable controller for shooting is really hard to get use to but runs smooth. The steamdeck has the function of easy resume to games even days later.. on the other hand, the LG you can pause and hibernate but most of the time the game stop or crash once you wake up the system. I know there are stuff that can be utilize to make the LG like steam such as bazzite OS or the chimera which was mentioned in this video. Unfortunately, i did return my LG not because its a bad product. But because for my lifestyle, easy pause resume and for thr games that i really play a lot runs smoother on SD OLED.
for most part I believe it's likely due to shader cache (similar story with Elden Ring stutters on PC with Windows (unsure of linux pc builds but i assume it'd still be same since each gpu be different)
suspend-&-resume on an OS level with SteamOS is why games not crash when sleeping or hibernating - unfortunately that is in how the OS handles such things, idk how SteamOS allocates resources when placed in said mode but it's really well done!
the FPS mode would probably be useful as a mouse imo for rts or mouse heavy games imo not as an actual shooter because some games might get funny with mixing controller and keyboard and constantly swap UI
that being said you're not alone -
I do appreciate the ability to have every game have its own TDP and game profile for FPS/Hz which helps you maximise battery life and experiment.
If you hold the legion space and legion quick settings buttons on the top of each controller respectively for about 4-6 seconds while they're off it'll power them on without having to attach the controllers to the handheld. Works the same when powering them off
Thanks for this! Others have pointed it out as well, I got that wrong and added it to a sticky comment 🙂
any batter backup with a 35watt charger will work. I have many different ones and they all work.
my legion go works with all my iniu powerbanks at 65w and my 65w poweradd brand, not sure what is going on with yours and portable batteries
Its crazy how big the device is..the only other portable device ive used is an original switch and wow aha.
I actually like windows on a device like this. There's so many tutorials on how to optimize games to their full potential and I dig it . Its nice to be able to favour quality in one game vs frames in an other.
The only thing i want to do is swap ssd to a 2TB. 512 is barely enough.
I got mine for 450 brand new, love it
Great video. What do you find you play on more these days? Deck or Go?
Thank you! Much appreciated and I mostly play on the Go these days 🙂
I cant wait to put my hand on legion go and do my kind of optimisation on it :D
Let me know what kind of optimizations you have. I bought one. Would love to add a layer of supplementary efficiency if you can share any tips! 😊
If Deck supported Launchbox I'd have everything I need. Alas it doesn't. So I'm eyeing the Legion Go 2 should the software be more mature or the ROG Ally refresh that will likely be announced at Computex in June, both of which should be coming soon. Leaning towards the Go 2 because it will probably look smarter.
What about the sound quality? I was unimpressed by the native sound profile when I saw one in person
I was just wondering yesterday when you'll be uploading a video 😅
Yeah, it's been a while, thanks for having forgotten about me 😅
I got the Deck, Go, and a powerful pc
And i love my Steam Deck but anything outside of Steam like indie games, anti cheat games or other launchers requires tinkering.
I did get alot of it working but it became a pain, like i got Ff14 non steam version running on the Deck, but I had a hard time setting up GOG games, EA, and Ubisoft games
On the Go it just works like a regular Pc , my only issue is connecting other controllers when docked and have to use buggy Handheld companion app
But it's my favorite Handheld now with emulation that can play up to Switch and Ps3 😊
Slight correction at around the 10min mark you can turn them on withiut being attached you just need to hold the legiin button down for a while on each controller to connect with them if the system started with them being disconnected
Thanks for pointing that out! 🙂
I made a pinned post with my mistakes and have added that as well.
@@CheeseTurbulence legend and great video
9:55 isnt true…you can start the legion go with the controllers disconnected you just need to turn them on with holding of the Legion/start menu buttons for it depending on what you have these set to…
You also use the integer scaling wrong…
Yikes, sorry about that 😞 I'll pin a comment to correct that, thanks for letting me know!
You can use them split style like the switch. Read the manual bro. Co-op. Dual D-input
Oh damn, sorry about that and thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Got 1 for $200 1TB at garage sale never was used new in original packaging box what a deal
I didn't intend on getting one either... After some notifications and a delivery I accidentally have one 😭😭🤣 Finally playing PC games. Haven't even been thinking about my P5.
I got A Legion Go and I enjoy the experience. A lot of games I have on Steam I cannot play without doing some hefty work arounds. I do less Work arounds on the Legion go and the experience is more enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I adore my Steamdeck and I will never talk trash about it
I switched from a steam deck to the go and sold my steam deck.
The reason being is that the Go was able to do much more than just game on the go. If your just gaming, yeah, stick with the steam deck, but for a multipurpose pc? go for the win!
Very nice vid
Thank you! 🙂
Is the rog ally extreme better in terms of raw gaming power?
baseUS 65W 20000 maH charger works is like 30-40 us in aliexpress an amazon for some countries
“I’m sure we all enjoy our occasional role reversal in a power play but not here” lmao your jokes are great
Thanks, you're one of the few who comments on them so I appreciate that a lot 🙂
which is better for you, the Lego or the Ally?
As a Pc gamer I prefer windows, I am used to the software and I can play every game without to much hassle. I sold my steam deck because I play a lot of epic games and on steam deck was a pain to do it.
The mere fact that the oldest device is still the best choice shows just how crap new model designs in the same market still are, if the legion go had better attachable controller options i might consider it dual thumbpads are just too useful to give up.
So you use Best Buy like Quantum TV does with TVs? 🙄
Hibernate in Windows can brick SSD's, its the first thing you should ensure ISNT enabled. Sleep on windows is awful however so i see why you would think its better, just so you are aware this can brick hardware. i have seen many in my time die as a result i ensure that all of our estate of machines have it disabled.
You proably need to be more specifict, isnt doesn't show up in any results online.
I only wish it were cheaper, if there’s a good Black Friday sale then I’m gonna sell my deck and get the legion go
0:49 THE Mike Stringer from Spiritbox?
Wdym?
I had to look that up but I think this "Mike Stringer" from Epidemic Music is a different one:
www.epidemicsound.com/artists/mike-stringer/?
@@CheeseTurbulence ahhh darn. But yeah I thought about that once I read the description lol.
I really like my legion go personally
It has 1440p resolution, but you end up using 720p resolution for playable FPS. They should've just used 720p panel for better clarity, then 720p blurry stretched to 1440p.
Diablo IV? That's one of those small indie games, right?
Btw, happy to see another great vid from you. 🙂
I realized that too after I shot it 😅 I think I at some point moved it to the 2nd drive to make room for something else 🙈
What game were you playing in the B-Roll?
I put a little text in the top left corner that should say which game was playing.
But most of the time it's Gran Blue Fantasy Relink, American Arcadia, Children of Morta, Code Vein, Crab Champions, Deaths Door, Endless Dungeon, and Terra Nil.
19:12 desk setup video please
Will be in the works soon 😉
Subbed.
do the detachable controllers have their own gyros?
A quick google says yes:www.reddit.com/r/LegionGo/comments/1bgkkhs/motion_emulation/?😅
Should I steam or should I go
My legion go is amazing
What is the name of the game at 14:05?
That is Granblue Fantasy Relink 🙂
What is the, name of the game at 15:49
That would be "Granblue Fantasy Relink" 🙂
Can you install games that are not part of steam?
Yes! You can basically install anything you want, it's "just" Windows 😉
I ended up giving my steam deck to my daughter.
For the games she plays, its perfect.
For the games I play, the Go is perfect.
My dream console😅
wild that microsoft can’t get the xbox game pass app working better for these handheld devices!!
Waiting till they make a 21:9 Handheld. I just can't stand 16:9, it's always been an inferior format and yet they keep doing it.
U thought about keeping the steamdeck over the Legion Go?!?!? 😂😂😂 Bruh the options are Rog Ally or Legion Go, the steamdeck is the little boy now 🤦🏾♂️
You might change your mind if you use SD OLED
I use Lego as a PC. Except for RUclips and windows everything else works pretty well
Can it run after effects
In theory yes, but I'd say practically it is limited. Never done it myself though.
both
yes you can use both controller separately, one player for each controller 3:42
I don't know it's really bulky and, despite Steam Deck is also a large device i feel that it's way more ergonomic and comfortable to carry on, and way more good looking than this giant block
i rather spend time with my few years old Switch than this
Simple decision: If you're playing Genshin impact keep the Legion cause Steam doesnt have that game. I, myself decided to buy Legion Go
2:18 do is the biggest word here.
If you only play steam games.. and just want gaming.. deck is it.. but if you want to do other stuff.. go is it.
100% agree
the anker gan chargers work perfect with them
So, folks... give me a list of titles you play, FPS, and so on...
WoW? Fps and such?
Emulation? Why systems?
Other titles?
fallout 4 next gen update : 50-60
overwatch2: 70-120
skyrim updated version : 60 maxed out (i think skyrim is capped at 60)
fortnite: 60+
GF plays little kitty big city: maxed out didnt check frame rate but looks to be 30+
Have not tried emulation
@@ruasynth8696 and this is regular, old Go? No mods, nothing? Out of the box.
@@justsomedude7042 yeah I have the z1 extreme 1tb. Only thing I did out of the box was updates.
Didn't expect to like a beautiful powerful handed PC? What?
Du bist doch Deutscher?
If i didn't have the deck i would get this, primarily for better 360 emulation, But i can wait a few more generations with my deck. In a couple of years i think PC tablets will be the next big thing.
Totally agree and thought the same thing.
I have a legion go and without a doubt will be selling it for their newer more powerful version in the coming years. That or maybe another brand releases one we’ll see. Personally though the legion go is almost perfect. Battery kind of sucks but charging it is so non-bothersome and charges surprisingly fast! Love it
Windows is the single worst part of the Legion Go. I travel with the Deck instead partly because the fan noise of the Legion is just nightmarish for public consumption in comparison to the Deck. I also find the Go is better for CRPGs because of the bigger screen so if I want to play Rouge Trader while on my porch I will use the Go instead of the Deck. I will play something like FF7 remake on the Deck though.
I saw from a recent video that the fan noise on the go has been updated to be more quieter now
I already got LeGo instead of Steam Deck and its bummer, i wanted to play Pathfinder and Rogue Trader during power outages. edit: nevermind, i thought you were recommending deck for cRPGs, am blind and dumb.
Linux desktop mode really really sucks though
How so? I've using it to code with and it's blown my mind. It took a bit to adjust but it feels natural. @@FIBERFRENZY
Have you tried installing Bazzite OS onto an external drive or SD card? You can try to install the Steam Deck version so you can have a console like experience.
Legion go best 💪💪💪
Its not that valve did make it so the games run better.... They use linux wich is open source other people make the drivers etc those deserve the credit not valve all they did is make sure steams big picture mode is force opened at launch.... Beside why compare it to steamdeck anyway? Can barely run modern triple a games on it 😂
I originally owned the Steam deck, but when i got my hands on the LeGo. In my opinion and what i do, the LeGo wins hands down in all aspects. Tried the Ally, but it felt very cheap.
$700? Ima just buy a laptop...
I have a gaming laptop with RTX 2080; I haven't touched it since I got the Legion Go. If you know what you're doing, you can play AAA games at high settings and 60+ FPS. I've already uploaded a bunch of gameplay videos with these levels of performances.
All good but the fkn d pad. You good less you play quarter/wtf circle fighters.
Bought a refurbished one last week after owning the ROG ally for 6 weeks. I am selling the ally, because the Go has a bigger screen, a scroll wheel and touchpad to use in windows, two usb-c, and generally higher build quality.
Main issues are, Legion Go software is crap, it came with windows home in Chinese (single language), I did not have fun with the installation, as I couldn’t update the cd key (bought for a high price from Microsoft) within Windows… everything else seems very well thought out.
The Steam deck couldn’t play FC24 (fifa) due to anti cheat. I returned it. I did like the OLED screen. Not sure why it comes with a matte screen on the 1tb model.
Going to try my 7900xtx as egpu on it. I may end up not having a diy desktop. 😮
You compared it to the original steam deck you should have compared it to the OLED version
"Game: life" hahahahahha
Don't steam or go, ROG!
Not worth it. No freesync, no LFC, too high res for handheld, 1080p looks bad on 1440p monitor etc.
Just get rog ally, its better, its faster, has freesync, more quiet, better bios updates, everything.
Dont listen to clueless people like this that try to justify their bad purchase.
Rog ally has all legion go features, legion go dont have all ally features.
Don't tell anyone. Just keep it between you and me but VRR and V-sync are not necessary on a 144hz monitor. You can even insert a black screen between each frame running 60fps on a 120 hz screen and your visual cortex will blend in the black screen with the game's frames. The exact same way at 120 hz a screen tear will blend in with the next whole screen reflesh. 3D TV used the same principle at 120 hz , 60 frames for the right eye and 60 frames for the left eye.
VRR is mostly just for bragging rights.
@@smidlee7747 BFI looks horrible in every game btw.
@@ns-tech1304 You missed my point. I don't care for BFI myself. I also don't care for 3d TV either.
We don't see what our eyes sees. Our eyes do see the black screen which cause some people to have seizures. We see the images created by our visual cortex. VRR and V- sync is not needed with 120hz+ screens.
Did you know our visual cortex will even change the colors different from our eyes to make sense in a 3d environment?
