I got it day one. It beat the steam deck, and i never got a rog ally. Don't get me wrong the steam deck was cool but really struggled on games i preferred to play. So far, almost everything i throw at the legion go it runs. Like you said, an oled would be an amazing plus and extra battery life. I really hope they keep the controllers detachable like others have mentioned. I like the profile of the go also. Looking forward for the LEG2 cheers 🍻
Customer support was great when I needed a new right controller, at first they wanted me to send the whole thing back until I specifically told then it was a detachable controller that was the problem, within 2 days had a replacement and didn't even need to send the other back, UK.
Absolutely agree with you.... Any of those had easy start but get better overtime. I love legion and wouldnt change it. Disadvantage for all of them is ram size.... If they could do 32gb ram shared it would ve awesome. Support in UK/eu is awesome... Had issue with fan noise and collection next day even i didnt have it ready... During service plenty of email, pictures and updates.... Returned in 5-6days from sending it.
Still my favourite Windows gaming handheld yet. But since Asus has given 80Wh battery and 24GB RAM for Ally X, Lenovo should do the same for the next-gen Legion Go 2. There should also be a 32GB RAM option.
Got a new set of joycons here in the USA free of charge from Lenovo. Bought my legion go from Best Buy open box. Restated my warranty through Lenovo and everything I love their group
I skipped the Steam Deck and when I first entered Best Buy and tested the Demo Rog Ally a store associate approached me and said... "I am not supposed to say this but... don't buy it... a lot of customers have returned their Rog Ally" and within a short window Legion Go was announced. I bought the Legion Go on the first week of release and have no regrets. It's a great device and the only way I'll upgrade will be is if Legion Go 2 refines everything about the first Legion with better specs, slimmer, 24-32GB RAM, Z2-Z3 Extreme, no bezels or OLED screen, and definitely keep the detachable controllers. (I don't see the point of a Legion Go Light lacking a Z1).
i enjoy the ability to be able to use it as a tablet for watching youtube/movies/reading. i used to travel with my gaming laptop and a tablet. legion go is great cause it can be both. thought the battery life/ gaming performance and espeically the Software support is rather lacking. i feel the screen size is just right. just sharing my opinion. Im currently using lossless scaling for some games but i rally hope Lonovo do something with the AMF2. ( wonder how long it will take )
I wonder what the Legion 2 is going to be like. Detachable controllers are a huge thing for me because when its a tablet it can be mounted on a gooseneck mount and that's perfect for any kind of chair or bed.
@@farishanafiah8461 I just wish other handheld makers would do the same. like the retroid pocket or ayaneo. just give me a 7 inch tablet and reduce the price. I will find it way more useful.
I’ve done a tonne of YouTubing, basically in my amateur opinion. - find your favourite games and find out if they play on said device - do you like a bigger screen? - do you do anything outside of said device - do you play in bed or have a lot of time that you need a battery? - memory capacity Not many questions beyond that 😂 Edit: and favorite OS system I chose legion 😅
Depends on the title if it’s an fps most of the times I will, a souls game usually not but I’ve seen it improve things in some titles, make things worse in others and do absolutely nothing at all in others
There’s a bunch! Total war Empire, Star Wars knights of the old republic 2, f1 manager 2023, baldurs gate 3, armored core 6, Elden ring, dark souls 3, ghost of tshumia, I think that’s it lol thanks for watching!
I'm a previous steam deck oled owner (from launch day), I sold it 3 months ago, and I'm now looking to buy another handheld pc. Toss up between steam deck oled 1tb and legion go 512gb (£30/$40 more expensive), the bigger screen is what's drawing me to the legion go. I will use solely at home, with access to a plug or power bank at all times. Does the legion go outperform the deck? You mentioned optimisation bringing deck into the fight against the Z1 so I'm wondering performance wise, which is better? Oled deck or legion go?
I had a steam deck, currently have an ally x and legion go. I love the battery, fan, and vrr of the ally x but man it always feels like a different experience with that legion go screen. Playing red dead 2 and the witcher 3 is unmatched on that large screen.
I think the 24gb doesn’t make a big enough difference unless you’re docking it, in the future it definitely will. As for the battery big plus on the original ally but compared to the deck or legion it’s not as noticeable. I just 7 inch screens are hard for me. I think it’s my second choice I’d pick it over the steam deck
The legion go new iteration just needs to be lighter , larger battery , improved fans/thermals ,better speakers , more ram and options for different true strike controllers , maybe larger thumb sticks as well , 2280 ssd instead of 2230 , move the 2nd usb c to the bototmf center and have a keyboard attachment.
I don't think that's the best strategy. You should always take in consideration the extra costs to spend VS the new features that a Gen 2 could offer. I've heared a huge improvement in processor memory and also battery so I've decided to save money and buy gen2 next year
@amirhaddad5025 I would be fine with a discounted gen1. Not trying to spend too much on an undepowered laptop with a controller attached. The most they cam do to help with the battery is put in a bigger one like Asus did. And they always claim "huge" improvements. And it's always marginal just like the ryzen apus
@@joystickayrton the left one is pretty rocky so I got a piece of tape on the side so it stays. It was a thing in the beginning and I heard they got replacements for it on Reddit.
I really hope the legion go doesn't go the smart phone route and bring a new model out every year. Ive only had 1st gen a few months and payed 600.00 expensive toy.
Depending on when it comes out in 2025 they’ll have skipped a year. Not sure exactly what the plan is for them and asus well and msi if they ever get it together
Almost sounds hard to believe, I only have the legion Go now, but the steam deck Oled was the best build quality and operating device I owned out of the steam deck Oled, Rog Ally and legion Go, must of had terrible luck

More RAM won't really make much of a difference.

Yeah 32gb a bigger battery, and landscape maybe oled or amoled?
@@farishanafiah8461 On these handhelds putting more RAM won't do much unless the games are optimized for the mobile processors

Totally agree with you. Lenovo accidentally made a modern 8" Windows tablet, and I really couldn't have been any happier.
Completely agree, thanks for watching!

if they stop the detachable controllers it will be a unlikely purchase for me

- find your favourite games and find out if they play on said device
- do you like a bigger screen?
- do you do anything outside of said device
- do you play in bed or have a lot of time that you need a battery?
- memory capacity
Not many questions beyond that 😂
Edit: and favorite OS system
I chose legion 😅
Completely agree!
When you playing games, do you keep the RSR on or off?
Depends on the title if it’s an fps most of the times I will, a souls game usually not but I’ve seen it improve things in some titles, make things worse in others and do absolutely nothing at all in others
Thanks for your video! Could you list the games that you're playing? Several looked interesting but I didn't recognize them. Thank you, God bless:-)

Legion go will always crush the deck on pure performance. What games are you playing?
@joystickayrton thanks. Cyberpunk, RDR2, GTA V, single player AAA games, basically.
I had a steam deck, currently have an ally x and legion go. I love the battery, fan, and vrr of the ally x but man it always feels like a different experience with that legion go screen. Playing red dead 2 and the witcher 3 is unmatched on that large screen.
I completely agree, the screen is a big difference!
The interesting part is the controllers has gyroscope in them, and all I can think is Wii emulation with motion.
Very good point, emulation and Nintendo having me killed scares me if I ever talk about it lol
What your thought on ally x
I think the 24gb doesn’t make a big enough difference unless you’re docking it, in the future it definitely will. As for the battery big plus on the original ally but compared to the deck or legion it’s not as noticeable. I just 7 inch screens are hard for me.

When the Legion 2 comes out, I'll get the Legion 1 when it comes down in price
Yeah I’m curious to see how low that gets
Black Friday will likely drop the price really low.
@@ProGamingProphecy here's hoping

Is there any news about the release of the second version of the device and when?
There’s almost 0 news seems like 2025
I guess 2025 Q2-Q3
If there is any news, I hope you will let us know.
@@joystickayrton .
Thank you all
I never got the controller switch treatment they wanted me to send my whole device in. Maybe the tier of Warranty
What was the issue? Still have it?
@@joystickayrton the left one is pretty rocky so I got a piece of tape on the side so it stays. It was a thing in the beginning and I heard they got replacements for it on Reddit.
To improve comfort everyone gets comfort grips and GeForce now ultimate and boom probable PS5 pro lol
I doubt that the price difference will be $100 between lite and refular go2. Probably on $200-300 range
Yeah that would make the most sense. But I think when the ally z1 to extreme launched I wanna say it was 100 bucks but I could be wrong
Confused, you talked about how you like the steam deck, but show you using the Ally? 🤣
Just broll across the video. There’s a steam deck video, win mini video, win 4 video as well
I really hope the legion go doesn't go the smart phone route and bring a new model out every year. Ive only had 1st gen a few months and payed 600.00 expensive toy.

Maybe ill just buy a egpu for my legion 1 and skip the number 2
i can smell a steamdeckfangirl from a state away.
Worst handheld i ever owned & used was the steamdeck had thr worst experience. Crashed all the time. I had to RMA my steamdeck 4 times plus 2 repairs.
Dang that’s wild, did you keep it?
Almost sounds hard to believe, I only have the legion Go now, but the steam deck Oled was the best build quality and operating device I owned out of the steam deck Oled, Rog Ally and legion Go, must of had terrible luck
