    Not sure why people buy both Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. If you want a PC handheld for mostly on the road, ROG Ally is easier to carry about. Legion Go with its larger screen is more for suitable for using at home in different rooms. Also system software for the ROG Ally is more matured than on Legion Go. Because the former has been out longer on sale. But eventually the Legion Go system software will catch up.

    Only installed fc 24 and fortnite atm but the games run great and I didn’t really need to tinker with any settings.

      I got the 2TB as a Christmas gift (a few days ago) thankfully, since I was going to buy it myself, but I'm absolutely loving it like crazy. Got a screen protector for it immediately. I've already used it more than my LCD steam deck which I used often too. I can play The finals, COD, etc with at least 80 fps locked in, and even was playing COD plugged in laying down at 1600p at 70+ fps. I'm glad I got it when I did rather than at launch because it's a more solid device overall now. New drivers, updates, 6gb ram option now etc. I also use it plenty for reading/movies/RUclips and overall media work. I can thankfully say that I haven't had any issues with it yet, besides maybe AMD Adrenaline not opening, but nothing that would make it frustrating/unusable! It was either the Legion Go, or the ROG ALLY which I was able to see in stores and it seemed absolutely amazing too, the demo was of FORZA and it was running around 30-40 FPS, but was on ultra and was not stuttering or tearing AT ALL which should be because of the VRR. For me though personally, I mainly wanted the bigger screen for gaming/media use, the interesting concept of removing the remotes and using them for games/tablet mode. I absolutely don't regret it and honestly see the Lenovo Go being the perfect option for someone who's going to be doing plenty of mixed gaming/media use, and the ROG ALLY being great for both too, but mainly for gaming because of the smaller screen, no touchpad etc. Both are amazing and strong devices, and it comes to preference at the end of the day honestly!

    Asus rog ally ve lenovo legion go, Windows 11 çalıştıran iki oyun el konsolu. İkisi de AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme yonga setine sahip. Ancak tasarımları çok farklı ve birinin diğerinde olmayan özellikleri ve avantajları var. Hangisinin daha iyi olduğunu belirlemek için birkaç kategoriye göre karşılaştıracağım.
    Ekran: Lenovo legion go, 8.8 inç QHD dokunmatik ekrana sahip. Asus rog ally ise 7 inç FHD dokunmatik ekrana sahip. Lenovo legion go’nun ekranı daha büyük ve daha yüksek çözünürlüklü, ancak Asus rog ally’nin ekranı daha yüksek yenileme hızına (144 Hz) ve değişken yenileme hızı (VRR) desteğine sahip. Bu, oyun oynarken daha akıcı bir deneyim sağlar12
    Performans: İki cihaz da güçlü bir işlemciye sahip, ancak Asus rog ally, popüler oyunları yaklaşık %68-%92 daha yüksek FPS ile çalıştırabilir. Ayrıca, Asus rog ally’nin çok çekirdekli CPU performansı Cinebench R23 testinde yaklaşık %20 daha iyi134
    Pil ömrü: Lenovo legion go, 60 Wh pil kapasitesine sahip. Asus rog ally ise 40 Wh pil kapasitesine sahip. Lenovo legion go’nun pil ömrü daha uzun, ancak Asus rog ally’nin pil ömrü de çok kısa değil. Lenovo legion go, Super Rapid Charge özelliği ile pilini daha hızlı şarj edebilir25
    Bağlantı: Lenovo legion go, 2 adet USB Type-C portu ve 1 adet USB-A portu içerir. Asus rog ally ise 1 adet USB Type-C portu ve 1 adet USB-A portu içerir. Lenovo legion go, eski tip USB cihazlarını bağlamak için daha fazla seçenek sunar12
    Taşınabilirlik: Asus rog ally, Lenovo legion go’dan 300 gram daha hafif (yaklaşık 0.66 lbs) ve daha ince çerçevelere sahip. Ekran gövde oranı da %3 daha yüksek. Asus rog ally, taşımak için daha kolay bir cihaz12
    Sonuç olarak, Asus rog ally ve Lenovo legion go arasında seçim yapmak zor. İkisi de oyun oynamak için harika cihazlar, ancak farklı özelliklere ve avantajlara sahipler. Asus rog ally, daha yüksek performans, daha iyi ekran ve daha hafif tasarım sunar. Lenovo legion go ise daha büyük ekran, daha uzun pil ömrü ve daha fazla bağlantı seçeneği sunar. Hangisini tercih edeceğiniz, kişisel ihtiyaçlarınıza ve bütçenize bağlı. Umarım bu karşılaştırma size yardımcı olur

      Steam deck OLED is actually good also for the price. It is easily customizable and has the most comfortable grip too. It is also more quieter than the Legion GO and ASUS Rog ally’s fans combined. Overheating isnt something you should worry about either with the OLED version.

    • @cqllel5186
      @cqllel5186 5 месяцев назад +2

      I'm gonna buy the SD OLED
      The Legion GO and ROG ALLY can't even compare to the Steam Deck. All they have is power, errything else is worse. I'm in it mainly for battery, overall layout/ergonomics, and SteamOS. Steam Deck is the best place to play any game
      IDGAF about playing modern AAA games on a handheld when I got a PC for that. There are so many games that I'd never have heard of or even think to play if it weren't for the appeal of handheld gaming. I refuse to play them anywhere else
      It's unfortunate how people judge the performance of battery powered devices..
      "How well can this handheld handle modern games that are designed to be played exclusively on the latest GPU technology and are, more than often, horribly optimized as well?"
      It'd be nice to see gameplay of visual novels, JRPGs, platformers, roguelikes, etc on the Steam Deck. I mean, sure we know they'd all run at a perfect 60/90fps, but it's still nice to see it, especially for speculating battery life
      Instead, all you see are the most graphically intense games out there, showcasing 30-40fps and like 1h-2h of battery life. 90% of all the games out there on PC are capable of running on the Steam Deck perfectly at maximum frame rate/settings with a lot of battery life

    I feel like both devices are very good devices in their own way because I have both of them and they both function differently than the other so I think the Ally is going to be always better than the legion go just because the legion go is still young like only like a month and a half two months if that I think somewhere down the line the legion go has potential to be better or be the best or just be as good as the Ally or maybe head to head with the Ally
