    I have the Go and OG Ally. Really love the screen on the GO and the size is great for playing at home. The Ally is great for taking on the road and tossing in a bag. I think the smoothness of the Ally with VRR is massive. The Ally is butter smooth but I always feel that choppiness on the GO. When you switch back and forth between the two iss very noticeable

    Great video I really enjoyed it keep up the good work. I have the Legion Go and the original ROG Ally. One use case for these hand held devices is the streaming services. GeForce Now 4080 service is absolutely amazing on these hand held devices. Imagine playing Cyberpunk 2077 at max setting with the highest ray traced setting (I think it's called path tracing or something like that) at 1080p or higher, you will get around 80 - 100 FPS of smooth game play. Battery life on the Legion Go while steaming is around 4 - 5 hours. Also Xbox, PlayStation and PC streaming work really well. So good it seems better than native game play.
    I would be interested in your options on using these streaming services with the Legion Go and ROG Ally X.

    Got my legion go back in April, and it’s a great device, don’t get me wrong. Using it to hit my backlog when I can’t sit down at the PC. But, the lack of support on software updates is kind of killing it for me. Having issues running anything released in the past year smoothly, or even at all if it’s graphically intensive. Unless Lenovo starts supporting this device more regularly? I think I’ll either be going with a steamdeck or asus on the next generation of handhelds.
    The lesson? Never trust hardware companies to stay ahead on proprietary software support. That’s why steamdecks are so popular.

Plus, the lack of support was just hugely disappointing, and if I'm honest, that worried me. I hope Lenovo gets it together. The legion go is a really good first product. Bigger battery, more RAM, maybe VRR, and a slightly smaller screen would be a good step forward.
