    Once you get used to the UI and software idiosyncrasies you won't be able to put it down

    Crazy how the Steam Deck isn't even in the conversation anymore in this space. Seems like every device now has more power, a bigger screen with a higher resolution, a bigger battery, 120hz-144hz refresh rate, better joysticks and triggers, etc. Not to mention that you can just launch steam in big picture mode and get the same "seamless" experience.

    Thanks for explaining that to the console folks. PC gaming is the thinking Mans way of gaming. People get offended by statements like this, but it's facts. But all of the answers are out there, you just gotta think, find them in forums, and you straight. I'm adoring my legion go. I got rid of my ally AND steam deck the moment my legion go got into my hands.
    Running the legion screen brightness on high, is MAD crazy. I get around 2 hours on performance mode playing Armored core. So much as the sound goes, there is a RUclips video out there that gives a custom sound setting that goes hard. And lastly, I don't know about your system my friend, but my system does not, does NOT get hot at all. You might wanna switch that system out. No one has that issue... even on RUclips. No one has that issue. Great system.

    One of the strengths of the Steam Deck is that I feel like it is a very seamless experience for a console player; the operating system functions very naturally like a console UI and shows you all your games, has a store, and most games work on launch for me. Of course, one of the weaknesses is you can't even play Call of Duty on SteamOS, which means you'd have to install Windows which negates all of that LOL

    The Legion GO is a mess. Lenovo Legion Space is borderline useless, makes Armoury Crate look like a miracle in comparison. You can not reconfigure any of the controller buttons, sticks, etc. to anything you would really want. There is the touchpad but there is no right click or left click and you can not assign any of the button to be right click or left click, ..... wtf lenovo!?!? This make using the right stick, and right bumper/right trigger in desktop mode on the Ally for mouse looks like a genius implementation. Additionally whether if the 1 or 2 controller is attached changes how the controller behaves. The best thing about the detachable controllers is that you can leave the pointless non-configurable controllers at home, get the weight saving and use it like a small tablet.
    The on screen performance monitor fails to stay on screen, just try it with BG3, you can not see it anymore. The faster memory is not getting you better fps in 2077. Stupid AMD software keeps crying about the wrong edition and you just can not pull up the AMD Adrenalin UI. The FPS mode is a gimmick, you can not play competitively against someone using a real gaming mouse (think G502, G pro, Deathadder, EC2 etc.).
    A really serious problem that plagues the Legion GO is that it is actually a portrait screen. And when it shows it is nasty and make the whole thing feel half baked. Old games, dosbox stuff will have all sorts of fit with this that would never be an issue on the ROG Ally. WTF is with the portrait screen anyways?! You launch a linux installer, or Acronis, or anything else text based direct booting some liveCD iso and this crap is just going to mess with you. Annoying as F!@$%!!!
    On top of it all the SSD run way too hot, temps while gaming using the max power tdp profile cause the SSD to hit 75C or higher, seriously?! In contrast the SSD in the ROG Ally is still a hair below 60C. The thing that was suppose to be the saving grace, the TB4 E-GPU, that is so hit and miss, it works with some and fails with others, just blue screens over and over.
    I really want to like the Lenovo Legion GO, but it feels at this time to be really half baked. It also just feels heavy. It its best mode of use is without the controllers and having it stand on its own kick stand, and with whatever kb/mouse and controller you would really want.
    And the final insult is that Legion Go Space puts the "store front" front and center, that is just obnoxious. It is trying to sell you crap all the time, whereas the Amoury Crate puts your game library front and center.

      You can tap on the touchpad for a left click, or tap and hold for a right click. I can understand the frustration with not being able to remap that, though.
      Also, yeah, of course the slightly faster memory isn't going to result in higher FPS in most games, it's only going to be important if the game's speed is highly dependent on how often and how quickly it pulls up and stores assets in visual memory. Cyberpunk actually uses VRAM fairly sparingly, so you're going to run into raw performance of the iGPU bottlenecking you far before the memory speed comes into play.

    OK. I've seen many videos about the Go and the speakers. What baffles me is for people who know about and use electronics, you all seem to forget that this device had TOP firing speakers. The Ally and the Deck have FRONT facing speakers. Top firing speakers will never sound as good as front firing because the sound is coming at you. Could the speakers be better? Maybe. But there will always be a difference in sound from speakers that face up versus front facing.

    the screen is over all worse on the go it is portrait and that sucks alot more then people think that means more work around for older api games like Vulcan and dx7 8 9 and also np vrr and you look on youtube and see the difference it makes at lower fps for ya the ally mighr lose by 3 frames here and there it makes up for it in vrr aka smoothness at lower fps 45 feels like 60 on the ally its something you need to try to understand also the screem is to high res scaling above 800p falls off really bad on the legion go but besides that i think its great and cant wait for more!!

    • @CKidM
      @CKidM  Год назад +2

      I agree with you on it being more work for older games because when I was playing Ninja Turtles game it would not allow me to go full screen which sucked. But it’s give and takes.

    • @HunterTracks
      @HunterTracks Год назад

      VRR on the Ally has a lower bound of 48 Hz, so it's not really going to be useful unless you're hitting 48 FPS in your games (to my knowledge, it doesn't have low framerate compensation). Also, a lot of people misunderstand VRR -- it doesn't really improve the quality of the image, it's just a way of not getting screen tearing without having to resort to using Vsync (because that introduces a bit of latency).
      Edit: I looked into the distinction further and it's not quite that simple (yes, I was the one misunderstanding VRR this whole time) -- in a few words, without VRR frames have to stick around until the display refreshes, which can, in worst case scenarios, delay the frame by up to the display refresh rate (e.g., 1s/60 in the case of a 60 Hz refresh rate). That said, you get diminishing returns depending on how high the refresh rate is, since 1s/144 is only 6.9ms of extra delay, while 1s/60 is 16.6ms. On a 144 Hz screen, it should be much less of an issue (especially considering most demanding titles will fall below the lower bound of Ally's VRR range).

    • @itsquiwi8780
      @itsquiwi8780 Год назад +1

      ally has low frame rate black screen inserction for lower vrr and vrr is still smoother as u did say also the lowest fps vrr work with is 32 on the ally before it shuts off!

    One thing all guys doing the reviews on the legion and ally wrong. Is ignoring why the steam deck is actually better! The deck is modular and designed too be easily repaired and upgraded. The$400 base steam deck you can upgrade it too a 2tb storage less than $100. And still be cheaper. And you cd an upgrade the screen. Also unlike the legion or ally the deck lets you have use amd’s fsr graphics setting allowing you too increase graphics performance and it has better battery life. Over all the deck. Is more customizable an easier too tweak and runs cooler. Ally and legion runs really hot and Lenovo products secretly sends user data back too China. That’s why their computers are banned from being used in all government offices

I’m not sure if mine was broken or not but when I was playing COD if I try to move the right stick slightly to the right, say when aiming or moving a little, input would not register unless I pressed almost half way in, making it almost impossible to aim correctly. This is a deal breaker for me so I’m hoping you can shine some light into this issue
