@@CJKnowsTECH Legion Go. For me its the true iPad Pro killer. With power saving mode on, and controllers remove, its gives me 5-7 hours of productive time. I have not touched my iPad Pro since i purchased the Legion Go. Mainly because it runs a full Desktop Windows 11. The iPadOS is the main bottle neck (and frustration) of some iPad Pro users, which, in my one month of use, Legion Go almost instantly became my laptop replacement (and to think Ive been trying to convince myself for many years that the iPad can be a laptop replacement with an M1 chip, which unfortunately, even with M4s, its not gonna happen).
Many don't realize it yet, but the Legion Go is actually an iPad Pro Killer when in tablet mode, and with power saving mode enabled. It runs a full desktop Windows 11 OS that lasts between 5 - 7 hours on regular use (typing documents, doing research, checking emails, writing computer programs, editing and rendering video snippets, and creating infographic designs using Adobe fireworks) It being a handheld game for me is just a bonus. I came to realize this when I noticed I haven't used my iPad Pro for an entire month since I bought the Legion Go. As a matter of fact, I don't even bring my laptop to work either. Nowadays, I just carry the Legion Go (without the controllers) and a Microsoft Folding keyboard and Microsoft Arc Mouse to get the job done. And for some people who asks if you can draw with it using a stylus, yeah, I got a Wacom stylus as well which is a good counterpart of the apple pencil. Believe it or not, comparing the cost of this device with all the accessories I bought, it is still waaay cheaper than a 1TB iPad Pro (apple pencil and magic keyboard not included)
I got the ally x I tried the legion go for a bit. I do like the portability of the ally x and the battery life. The screen on the go is incredible. My recommendation is if you don't have a gaming PC, get the Go as it has great performance and a brilliant screen. If you do have a gaming PC, I'd get th ally x as you're gaming PC screen is likely going to be better than the screen on a handheld. And your use case will probably be to beat and finish as many games portably. Just my thoughts. Can't go wrong with either!
I want the Go > rog mainly because the screen looks awesome, and I like the Nintendo Switch/ tablet aspect. I will mainly play docked. The biggest issue I hear is that you HAVE to tinker. I dabble in emulation, so no problem. Which should I get?
I'm saving up for a legion go, if i get it, it'll be my first proper gaming pc, I'll squish every last bit of power out of it, my friend let me borrow his laptop that has similar specs to the go (1650 mobile with i5 10300h) and it was more than enough for me, so the go is my go to (pun intended)
@Channel-iu6de as someone with no pc and only a dying laptop with hdd,i think the legion pro is better,as it has a big screen for doing multiple tasks,such as netflix,using word,and even coding if i get to that,with the ability to play games. I see that there is a better battery on the ally x,but...i dont know....when saw the lenovo legion go for the first time (i thought the only real handheld was Nintendo) i instanly fell in love. It has the perfect weight for me,controls are okay,i didnt exactly play a game on it,i only checked it out but it did look confusing. I dont know,i just feel the lenovo calling me. And looking further into it,it seems like the perfect replacement to my laptop. A usb hub will turn it into a great setup
I have both the Ally and Ally X. And the Ally X checks all the boxes. Especially happy that I can play eldin ring at 17W power mode on the plane and not worry about the battery. I still check every 30 minutes because old habits.
Thought that too. I seen that Lenovo plans are to continue support until at least 2029 regardless of newer Legion Go's like the 2nd one. I think the 2nd one through will have the 2nd gen of the AMD z-extreme apu which only improves the cpu side of the chip. The third gen z apu, according to AMD's timeline, will improve the gpu side of the chip improving from the 780m graphics. Which i think is the one I'm going to just end up waiting for. Maybe 2 years and I think this first gen will still be decent when the 3rd gen comes out in a couple years
I have both. The ally screen isnt bad at all. The big screen is dope but i rarely get to use the 1440p. I play connected to the wall all the time. But when i travel, the legion is basically cooked without a power bank even at lower settings.
@@EddiePReactsNvidia has a sale of using the RTX 4080 (Geforce Now Ultimate) for 6 months for $45 right now. Spend that and you have access to the RTX 4080 for 6 months for that price. Deal will finish August 18 so I'd get it before the deal is up
The weight you're listing is incorrect btw. Legion Go is 854 grams. The weight you're listing is the Legion Go with controllers detached. Picked up the Ally X after owning the Legion Go since launch and I think the VRR screen really is a game changer. Despite the similar performance, games just look smoother on the X.
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 it is pricey but can’t compare a console to a handheld. The fact you can dock this and play natively on the go is crazy. The more affordable option of course would be the Steam Deck.
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 youre paying for the power and portability if youre not willing to pay a little over 500 for these kinds of devices youre kinda cooked
For sure. Both these devices are mind blowing. Lenovo always been a great company, and that thing is just dope. Strait windows with those features, like bruhh.. ❤
You can get a battery pack and a 1tb hard drive whenever you want. You can’t add an extra 2inches of screen to the ROG. BTW the Lenovo GO is at 600$ right now for the 500gb. I’d take that and add a 1tb sd card and now you have 1.5tb of space for the cost of the regular 1tb
The rog ally x really set the bar with that 80watt battery. I can't wait to see the next wave of pc handhelds in the coming years. I'll stick with my lcd steam deck until we get true successors. (Rog ally 2, steamdeck 2, legion go 2, msi claw 2)😎 i wonder if alienware, nvidia and razer will ever join the party 🤔
I believe Alienware had a prototype they showed off right after the steam deck was announced but one companies like Asus, Lenovo, and all these handhelds they decided to pull the plug thinking it would attract the attention
Seriously they raised the bar a ton, now competitors gotta follow suit or be get left in the dust. This is why competition is so important. W for consumers
Razer was a forerunner and got financially spanked for their troubles.. I'm thinking they will be the last to jump back into the handheld gaming arena after the original Razer Edge handheld windows pc
The Legon go is heavier by a lot. The weight you showed for the legion go is without the controllers attached. With the controllers attached it is 854g, pretty much 200g over the Ally X
Og ally owner here. Sold it for the ally x and then sold my ally x for the legion go and haven't looked back. The screen on it is just amazing and the buttons/triggers just feel so much better. The ally x would creak in 3 different areas and I have yet to hear any of that from the go.
same experience, i tried the og ally and legion go side by side in shop and immediately preferred the legion go just because the build quality and buttons feel so much better. Every button and trigger felt cheap on the ally, and the screen is so small i can't read anything. I don't think the Ally X will change one of these things. Also i love the legions versatility. With 3D printed adapters i can turn it into vertical mode and use it like a Nintendo DS. And the Joycons can work like Wiimotes for wii emulation too.
@@derin6205 i havent tested it yet. But 2 players is no problem i think, it worked with my switch too. Depends on the game, 4 player mario Kart should work with this screen size
I’ve had all the devices, the og ally the steam deck Oled and now the ally x. The ally x is hands down my favorite device. I love it. I have a 4tb ssd with dual boot windows and bazitte and I couldn’t be happier. The performance is amazing and so is the battery life. Plays all my games and then some, I much prefer the 16:9 aspect ration and 1080p with VRR is just a chefs kiss. Not to mention the cooling and fan noise is the best out of all of the devices as well. Great video is always CJ
Same here....ally x has no flaws for me...but I heard about the bad speakers and fan and battery on the legion go...but the screen..removable controllers and touchpad..I like a lot.... but I also don't wanna be glued to a socket because of bad batteries so I'm conflicted lol
@@kestonedwards8142 if they come out with a legion go that has an extended battery life, SIMILAR to what Rog did with the ally X, I might have to sell this. I just believe in true portability and it’s not very portable if you have to have it plugged in the entire time. I have an Alienware M18 beast of a laptop for all that. But the Rog ally X has been special. Even got my wife one and she loves it.
Believe me the legion go is the way to go not only because the perfect customer support (had small problem with the sticks and they send me a new left controller) you can do so many thing and even use it as a tablet
It depends on what you want: - bigger more detailed screen with trackpad or even a detachable “mouse”? The Legion Go - you want 24 GB of ram with a big battery? Ally X I find the Ally (X) screen way too small and no trackpad, so my decision was easy and I’m happy
Great review! I really enjoyed your keypoints for each system. I've had the Legion Go since release and it has come a long way driver wise. I have now replaced my laptop with my GO as my daily school computer lol
I bought LeGo for 750€ in Spain, Ally X is 150€ more expensive. For health reasons I can’t sit on a chair after work for just playing so I use the handheld mostly at home and LeGo became a perfect substitute for Steamdeck in my case. I love that massive screen, and battery is not an issue playing at home. I also have a 60€ power bank that works well with the Legion Go (Baseus 65W). On the contrary more ram avoids tinkering with the VRAM in more demanding games, in case of Ally X, but I don’t think is really a big deal.
@@fevad1246 Ally X has 24Gb RAM and LeGo has 16Gb. Since memory is shared between system and graphics chip, you can asign how much you asign to system or virtual menory for graphics (VRAM), usually 4GB-6GB. Nevertheless is not a problem at all in LeGo, games work great. In heavy duty (30w) lasts 1h. At 25W 1:30h and 20W up to 2h. With old games or emulation you can set 15W and get more than 2h. In Ally X you have 75% more battery 80Kwh vs 49 in the LeGo.
I love my Steam Deck for gaming before sleep as I lay, I just got the Legion Go and I love this thing for everything! A Beast!! But I game at home near plugs so IDC about battery, Give me performance
Tbh the lenovo bigger screen is a massive win for me, and having a track pad is perfect for a OSRS player like me, plus the weight isn't a problem for me anymore because the kick stand is universal, if you are sitting down you can have the kick stand out so you could have it support its own weight while you lay it on your lap, and reduce the weight on your arms to zero lol, but yea if you want to have it airborne then yes it will be heavy, but then you are just being dumb by not utilizing the kick stand. Also the battery life is also a stupid topic... because everywhere we go in 2024 you could 7/10 have it plugged in your car or hotel. I am a truck driver so this is zero issue for me when it comes to battery life, since when using it I am 9/10 have it plugged... The Lenovo Legion go feels like a mobile gaming computer on the go, and everything else feels like a mobile console on the go.
I have both and love both. They are both fantastic at different things. the ally to me is not a windows machine. if it came with steam os it would shine for on the go quick gaming sessions. For a windows machine, legion go offers way more with the bigger better looking screen, detachable controllers, and clutch kickstand. It's nice to prop it up in bed and throw on my vr glasses and game with the remotes detached
I have the legion go and love it, my ally x shows up tomorrow. The problem I have with my legion go is i have to constantly be on the charger and the resolution with some games don’t fit or take one finessing to get work. Excited to play with the ally x.
I love it! The form factor is great and less cumbersome in my hands the performance is basically the same but honestly it's nice going back to 1080p as most games work well with it. The battery life is just *chefs kiss* it's now my daily driver, I do miss the big screen from the LEGO but definitely don't miss the bad battery life
I picked the legion go for Lenovo support in case of any issues! Had a joystick issue and they sent me a new controller with no questions asked and literally got to me in 2 days. Lenovo support is killer!
I was say the Rog Ally due to 32GB of RAM speakers and, they also handle Windows the best also VRR but, LegionGo is my daily driver just love the bigger screen.
@@aaronbrown9110 Legion Go replaced my laptop and iPad pro when Im on the go. For me, this is a game changer. I dont mind battery issues as I carry around a charger and powerbank. Still on its own, when Legion Go power saving mode is enabled, I still get 5- 7 hours of battery life.
I had my heart set on the ROG Ally X over the Legion Go, but when I went into Best Buy to purchase the Ally X I saw how small the screen was, and it felt cheap compared to the Legion Go. Loving my purchase so far. Legion go has been great.
I just bought the legion go at best buy for 649 canadian. They did not had it in stock so they order one. I should have it in a few days. Still gonna keed my sd lcd. Cheers from Canada, québec, Gatineau.
Your video was very informative and I understand why the Ally X won you over. I am going to have a look at the store when the Ally X releases in my country.
Which one would be more user-friendly for someone who doesn't really game as much? I want to get a Windows handheld for my wife, and I was thinking she would like the go more. The removable controllers and bigger screen would be nice for her. She used to play the switch with the controllers off of it.
I don't game on the go, but I wanted something portable when I'm visiting family, so the Legion Go was perfect for me. And the fact it is full Windows means I don't have to bring my laptop anymore.
The screen on the Go is amazing.. so much better for productivity but it kills the GPU, you find yourself lowering the resolution to get better performance and some games just don't perform like Moto gp... Ergonomics aren't good, FPS mode is just awkward and the speakers don't do a good job even when you add the audio tweaks.. The Ally is just so much better.. and the X is a great upgrade over the OG Ally.
I'm going to say it again and again, Legion Go is the most immersive and innovative handheld to this day. The updates came quickly, and it made this device very promising. I have mine since launch, and I immediately dropped my Steam deck LCD and instead Oled. stuck with Legion, which is the true upgrade. Windows is the only way to play those triple A titles without out the headache of Linux trying to run them on low settings smh ...I don't complain about battery life when you can just charge up when you want to. I have a portable battery charger that can get the job done for Travel as well. Legion is the Beast. as that 8.8-inch display hits different. I love it also when I remotely play PS5. waiting for Legion 2 😎👍🏽
@Isaypreach @Isaypreach there is an app called PS play, and you pay for it $14 bucks total, they send you a key to open it up to your PS5, I believe its better then Chiaki which works best for Steam deck ...PS play works better with Windows but you just have to play..there is a video on it I'll see if I can find it and send the link
as legion go and og ally user, I can say if u use it mainly for gaming choose ally x, since it fixed the main problem of og ally battery and ports. as for me i only have og ally so i dont use it often. as for legion go, ive been used it as my main device to replace my laptop for good, so i can go outside for gaming and working sessions, but the cons are obviously its ergonomics, software optimizaion, and the fact its screen is originally in portrait, so u will have some problem with some software.
You know what? They are not fighting in the same category! The RAX and the LG have different targets.. It's all about balance between performance, ergonomy, display, and versatility. I literally run Solidworks 2024 smoothly with pretty complex projects. The Legion has no comparison. That bein' said, I'll stick to my LG
Awesome review man….the Ally X sounds good but I'm gonna stick with my Legion GO the screen size and 4 back paddles are pretty Important to I don't I can go without lol….ASUS has to at least start putting 4 back paddles on the back to get me more interested.
I own Ally X and my brother owns Go and from what I gathered tailored to you, Legion Go - ‘Better PC’ -trackpad is way efficient as a PC, better display and colours. Decent gaming experience. Immersive but not smooth. Way better ergonomics. Ally X- Best PC- 50% more faster ram is noticeable, better docked. Faster charging. Better quality build. Way smoother frames at higher resolution. If you want a stay at home king, the go is TOP. Outside and gaming focused, Ally X
@ dam, already sent it and got the ally x.. but so far no regrets. Now im only concerned taking an 800 dollar device out the house it never leaving my sight or grasp 🤣
Try GeForce Now Ultimate on the Legion Go. It might be the only handheld that lets you play the latest Triple A games in 2k @144fps from a reputable manufacturer. This should also grant you longer game sessions and overall hardware longevity since the heavy lifting isn't being done locally.
@@MrKayzeemoschino Definitely, but the screen is only 1080p. 2k gaming with max settings on a handheld should be a truly next level experience. I'm surprised there aren't any videos of people testing this out.
I feel like the screen and device in general with the Lenovo is just a tad too big. If they made it 7.5” instead of 8” and reworked the controller I think they would have a hit. Also, does the go support gyro?
Bro the lenovo legion go is legit a switch on lots and lots of steroids not to mention u get some switch emulation on that thing and woo man that switch game play will be something special
The Legion Go is just perfect though, especially if you use a battery pack with it. The Biggest screen and detachable controllers plus true customization options are just superior and the New Legion Go 2 and Legion Go Lite were just leaked, so I can't wait to see what the NEW ones are gonna be like? I hope they keep the screen size and upgrade it to OLED plus it's pretty much guaranteed it is going to be way more powerful with tons more battery life. It's likely gonna cost us though, but you get what you pay for.
Depends of ur use case. Laptops will have better cooling, better battery, more ram (maybe) and a dedicated gpu. Overall, laptops can give u better performance. But if u want to game these are more comfortable. Basically, you trade performance for something more comfortable or convenient. Personally? I want the Legion Go. With a dock and a keyboard u have a pretty decent PC.
I like the Legion Go more I'm just waiting for the next one rite now I may get the Asus and when the next Legion go come out definitely picking it up. Need 2 gaming PC.
@@abdallahfayed7888 i don't understand this argument. For both the legion go and the ally x you need a big case and some sort of Bag or Bagpack. You can't put the Ally into your pockets
@@abdallahfayed7888legion go is arguably MORE portable, the controllers come off leaving a tablet and 2 joy cons. plus, theyre both gonna be like 9-10 inches anyways, might as well go all in with a giant screen
what? Ally X is not hevier and Legion Go is not 640g- it is 862 (at least mine, spec says 854g). You should feel the difference when having both in hands?
I tried the X but simply couldn't accept the downgrade in screen size from using my LLG.. plus you just cant ignore the Elephant in the room and eventually the likeliness is you will have to deal with Asus customer services or their rma process. Not for me thanks.
The 16x9 vs 16x10 point is moot anymore. Many games support both. The screen on the LeGo is large enough so that the black bars above and below in 16x9 games aren't a big deal. 16x10 really shines when emulating old consoles for games without widescreen patches. The added vertical space is a huge benefit.
Because I have a gaming laptop, I can't see the appeal of Legion Go, if I want a handheld, I'd want true "handheld-able" and portability, even Ally X is a bit too big for me.
I have the Lenovo and the ASUS, I love the Lenovo display size, but also hate the Lenovo size, I’ll usually use the Lenovo in the house, and the asus if I have to travel
Help me choose one. I really like the Go, and i think most of the issues I've heard can be updated like the wasted 144 rfr. Rogs battery is better, but same chip? Rog is more ready to go, but is it better. I really like Legions screen, controllers, and kick stand. Or just convince me the tablet form is overrated 😅
I will just say that personally I think the Legion go is more worth it due to the cheaper price but yet amazing performance. Coming from the ROG Ally Z1extreme model to this was an experience for me lol. The higher resolution ( mostly 1200p for performance purposes) is really nice and doesn’t impact performance as you would think it would. In fact I was getting more frames at the same settings in most if not all the games in my collection. Also while nice, the VRR display is not the game changer you may think. I have found my games play smoother on the Legion go despite it not having the feature
I use my Legion go for almost everything. I have a msi raider 3080 thats become pretty much a television because all my gaming and everyday browsing can be done on the go. Not to mention that I use it to make music and it handles FL studio and pro tools like a champ. When it comes to copying speeds tho, my msi is the number 1 choice because copying large files takes 3 times longer on my legion go
I wish the d-pad was better on LeGO, I mostly play fighting games. The diagonal inputs can be quite inconsistent. No I will not play fighting games with an analog stick.
It depends. - If you want decent performance, a massive screen, a trackpad and something that multifunctions as a tablet, go for the legion go - If you want the best possible user experience, OLED screen, trackpads and decent battery go for steam deck oled - If you only care for raw performance and nothing else (well the battery is also decent) the ally x. (Its performance is around 15% better than legion go and 30% better than steam deck)
I think the Legion Go is currently the best handled gaming PC on the market. The Steamdeck is awesome and all but it's significantly underpowered by 2004 standards. The Legion Go will play literally anything, it's almost 9 teraflops, the PS5 is 10. It's basically a 780m iGPU and they are almost like magic.
I have the Legion Go, Steam Deck OLED, a modded Nintendo Switch OLED, and a regular Nintendo Switch(V2). Am I really missing something without having the ASUS ROG Ally/X? Or the MSI Claw? I kind want to sell one of them but idk lol. I might wait for the Legion Go 2
The Ally X is better in almost every way...except the main reason that counts - the screen. Gaming on the Legion is night and day compared to the Ally. Or any 7 incher, for that matter. It's second to none experience right now. Especially if you mostly play at home.
I think whichever one you go with, you’ll be happy with it. Let’s face it, they really aren’t THAT much different. These videos try to make these differences much bigger than they are. However, that screen is a major difference…especially for older gamers or those who’s sight isn’t the best. I have the Legion Go, I love it. Just make sure you install the latest video drivers. I may also get the rog ally x when I see a deal. Or wait for the Legion Go 2. But, either way, you’re going to be happy either way you go. Also, you made way too much of a deal over the battery. What are you talking, an extra 30 minutes? In game time that is nothing and by no means a deal breaker.
You talked about look and feel but not the actual performance as that's the only thing that matters. On SteamDeck and Ally most game struggle due to low power. How does Lenovo perform agains X?
🤔 so im a truck driver and i mostly do borderlands, cod, gta and gonna try boulders gate. Any ideas on ally x or a legion go? How much better does it look on a certain one cause im going to bestbuy tomorrow to pick up one of these 2
The Rog Ally X is an absolute no brainer, for someone like yourself. The 80watt battery can give you up to 3hrs of battery, if you set the tdp to 17watts, which is all you need tbh. Also, get a ugreen 130w power bank, which can literally give you a whole day of gameplay, if you’re on the go.
Also another thing is, the Rog ally having a smaller screen is a great advantage for a handheld, because you can set most games at 900p, and it’ll still look amazing whereas, the Legion go having a bigger screen, will mean having to set the games at a higher resolution, which means slower frame rate and top of this, it has a 40watt battery, which is way smaller than the Rog ally X
ally x hands down .I returne my legion go its just too heavy over long period of time plus battery is useless barely 2 hours in balance mode and not even 1 hour in turbo mode

Thought that too. I seen that Lenovo plans are to continue support until at least 2029 regardless of newer Legion Go's like the 2nd one. I think the 2nd one through will have the 2nd gen of the AMD z-extreme apu which only improves the cpu side of the chip. The third gen z apu, according to AMD's timeline, will improve the gpu side of the chip improving from the 780m graphics. Which i think is the one I'm going to just end up waiting for. Maybe 2 years and I think this first gen will still be decent when the 3rd gen comes out in a couple years
Same ally just feels so tiny coming from the Go
I have both. The ally screen isnt bad at all. The big screen is dope but i rarely get to use the 1440p. I play connected to the wall all the time. But when i travel, the legion is basically cooked without a power bank even at lower settings.
@@EddiePReactsNvidia has a sale of using the RTX 4080 (Geforce Now Ultimate) for 6 months for $45 right now. Spend that and you have access to the RTX 4080 for 6 months for that price.
Deal will finish August 18 so I'd get it before the deal is up
The weight you're listing is incorrect btw. Legion Go is 854 grams. The weight you're listing is the Legion Go with controllers detached.
Picked up the Ally X after owning the Legion Go since launch and I think the VRR screen really is a game changer. Despite the similar performance, games just look smoother on the X.
Yeah cause I own both and I was like there's no way the Legion go is lighter then the Ally x
If anyone else waiting on the Rog Ally X. Just keep checking in on open box deals at Best Buy. Copped mine for $674 in excellent condition.
Still too pricey, could get a ps5 and games for that price or a budget laptop
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 it is pricey but can’t compare a console to a handheld. The fact you can dock this and play natively on the go is crazy. The more affordable option of course would be the Steam Deck.
yeah I'm copping that open box not paying full price 😂
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 youre paying for the power and portability if youre not willing to pay a little over 500 for these kinds of devices youre kinda cooked
Hope you checked the battery before you left store. People are buying the X and switching batteries out and returning.
Loving my Legion Go! It's just a dope device.
I actually replaced my iPad Pro with the Legion Go (I leave the controllers at home). its a very handy portable windows tablet.
For sure. Both these devices are mind blowing. Lenovo always been a great company, and that thing is just dope. Strait windows with those features, like bruhh.. ❤
You can get a battery pack and a 1tb hard drive whenever you want. You can’t add an extra 2inches of screen to the ROG. BTW the Lenovo GO is at 600$ right now for the 500gb. I’d take that and add a 1tb sd card and now you have 1.5tb of space for the cost of the regular 1tb
I actually just got the 512 go legion for only 499
@ Yep I got it at 600 so lucky you. I would have gone for the 1tb for the 550
The rog ally x really set the bar with that 80watt battery. I can't wait to see the next wave of pc handhelds in the coming years. I'll stick with my lcd steam deck until we get true successors. (Rog ally 2, steamdeck 2, legion go 2, msi claw 2)😎 i wonder if alienware, nvidia and razer will ever join the party 🤔
I believe Alienware had a prototype they showed off right after the steam deck was announced but one companies like Asus, Lenovo, and all these handhelds they decided to pull the plug thinking it would attract the attention
Seriously they raised the bar a ton, now competitors gotta follow suit or be get left in the dust. This is why competition is so important. W for consumers
Razer was a forerunner and got financially spanked for their troubles.. I'm thinking they will be the last to jump back into the handheld gaming arena after the original Razer Edge handheld windows pc
Best and smartest comment
True successors? We already have 5 true successors out...
I don't know if I should wait for next year for the new Z2 chip or just buy ROG ally X. I don't own any handheld yet
The Legon go is heavier by a lot. The weight you showed for the legion go is without the controllers attached. With the controllers attached it is 854g, pretty much 200g over the Ally X
Yup accidentally quoted the without controller weight
Og ally owner here. Sold it for the ally x and then sold my ally x for the legion go and haven't looked back. The screen on it is just amazing and the buttons/triggers just feel so much better. The ally x would creak in 3 different areas and I have yet to hear any of that from the go.
I have both and I honestly use my ally way more than my legion go
same experience, i tried the og ally and legion go side by side in shop and immediately preferred the legion go just because the build quality and buttons feel so much better. Every button and trigger felt cheap on the ally, and the screen is so small i can't read anything. I don't think the Ally X will change one of these things.
Also i love the legions versatility. With 3D printed adapters i can turn it into vertical mode and use it like a Nintendo DS. And the Joycons can work like Wiimotes for wii emulation too.
@@megakoni1 Yep i'm planning to buy the Legion go once i get a job.
@@megakoni1nobody takes about how well these do with 4 player split screen and multiple controllers. Curious what your take is?
@@derin6205 i havent tested it yet. But 2 players is no problem i think, it worked with my switch too. Depends on the game, 4 player mario Kart should work with this screen size
I’ve had all the devices, the og ally the steam deck Oled and now the ally x. The ally x is hands down my favorite device. I love it. I have a 4tb ssd with dual boot windows and bazitte and I couldn’t be happier. The performance is amazing and so is the battery life. Plays all my games and then some, I much prefer the 16:9 aspect ration and 1080p with VRR is just a chefs kiss. Not to mention the cooling and fan noise is the best out of all of the devices as well. Great video is always CJ
Yet it’s the least immersive …
@@Vanxiety12what are you taking bout. VRR @ a crisp 1080p is perfect 😍
Give me one😂
steamdeck is best. no contest
@@dizzlegrizzle1919 it is best for you.
I love a big screen, and a lot of battery life.
I haven’t bought one because I cannot choose between the screen and battery.
Same here....ally x has no flaws for me...but I heard about the bad speakers and fan and battery on the legion go...but the screen..removable controllers and touchpad..I like a lot.... but I also don't wanna be glued to a socket because of bad batteries so I'm conflicted lol
@@kestonedwards8142 if they come out with a legion go that has an extended battery life, SIMILAR to what Rog did with the ally X, I might have to sell this. I just believe in true portability and it’s not very portable if you have to have it plugged in the entire time. I have an Alienware M18 beast of a laptop for all that. But the Rog ally X has been special. Even got my wife one and she loves it.
Believe me the legion go is the way to go not only because the perfect customer support (had small problem with the sticks and they send me a new left controller) you can do so many thing and even use it as a tablet
Get the legion go you won’t regret it
It depends on what you want:
- bigger more detailed screen with trackpad or even a detachable “mouse”? The Legion Go
- you want 24 GB of ram with a big battery? Ally X
I find the Ally (X) screen way too small and no trackpad, so my decision was easy and I’m happy
no trackpad? no more need for me to research
But will the gameplay on AAA be differ by the diff in ram?
Ye track pad is a big factor imo
Great review! I really enjoyed your keypoints for each system. I've had the Legion Go since release and it has come a long way driver wise. I have now replaced my laptop with my GO as my daily school computer lol
the rog ally x set a new standard for handhelds for me, lots of battery + more performance
Right
they are all using the same GPU chipset....
@@jesusbarrera6916 Statistics do not lie though, the ally x still eeks out performance in alot of games at the same power usage.
I bought LeGo for 750€ in Spain, Ally X is 150€ more expensive. For health reasons I can’t sit on a chair after work for just playing so I use the handheld mostly at home and LeGo became a perfect substitute for Steamdeck in my case. I love that massive screen, and battery is not an issue playing at home. I also have a 60€ power bank that works well with the Legion Go (Baseus 65W). On the contrary more ram avoids tinkering with the VRAM in more demanding games, in case of Ally X, but I don’t think is really a big deal.
I don't understand the last part please explain again. And how is the battery life exactly (the most heavy usage scenario)
@@fevad1246 Ally X has 24Gb RAM and LeGo has 16Gb. Since memory is shared between system and graphics chip, you can asign how much you asign to system or virtual menory for graphics (VRAM), usually 4GB-6GB. Nevertheless is not a problem at all in LeGo, games work great. In heavy duty (30w) lasts 1h. At 25W 1:30h and 20W up to 2h. With old games or emulation you can set 15W and get more than 2h. In Ally X you have 75% more battery 80Kwh vs 49 in the LeGo.
@@javi1005 understood thx
I love my Steam Deck for gaming before sleep as I lay, I just got the Legion Go and I love this thing for everything! A Beast!! But I game at home near plugs so IDC about battery, Give me performance
solid video. very informative. thanks CJ!
No problem. Thanks
Tbh the lenovo bigger screen is a massive win for me, and having a track pad is perfect for a OSRS player like me, plus the weight isn't a problem for me anymore because the kick stand is universal, if you are sitting down you can have the kick stand out so you could have it support its own weight while you lay it on your lap, and reduce the weight on your arms to zero lol, but yea if you want to have it airborne then yes it will be heavy, but then you are just being dumb by not utilizing the kick stand. Also the battery life is also a stupid topic... because everywhere we go in 2024 you could 7/10 have it plugged in your car or hotel. I am a truck driver so this is zero issue for me when it comes to battery life, since when using it I am 9/10 have it plugged...
The Lenovo Legion go feels like a mobile gaming computer on the go, and everything else feels like a mobile console on the go.
Im so happy I found a tech youtuber creator that sounds genuine and real
Been waiting for this one CJ. Looking at getting a handheld PC soon
not letting go of my bigger screen say what you want
Lenovo Legion products all day. Just got a 7i pro with a 4080 in it and it's lovely
I have both and love both. They are both fantastic at different things. the ally to me is not a windows machine. if it came with steam os it would shine for on the go quick gaming sessions. For a windows machine, legion go offers way more with the bigger better looking screen, detachable controllers, and clutch kickstand. It's nice to prop it up in bed and throw on my vr glasses and game with the remotes detached
The Lenovo go does VR games 😮
Right lol!
@@Lover4Fash Legion Go is much better for the most part
I have the legion go and love it, my ally x shows up tomorrow. The problem I have with my legion go is i have to constantly be on the charger and the resolution with some games don’t fit or take one finessing to get work. Excited to play with the ally x.
What’s the update? I’m planning on buying one or the other tomorrow so I’m curious what you have to say!
Which do you like better?
Do you have an update to give? 🙂
I love it! The form factor is great and less cumbersome in my hands the performance is basically the same but honestly it's nice going back to 1080p as most games work well with it. The battery life is just *chefs kiss* it's now my daily driver, I do miss the big screen from the LEGO but definitely don't miss the bad battery life
@@Thepersuasian thank you!
If the Legion Go had everything the Ally X has, I'd pick the Lenovo over the Asus just for the screen.
I picked the legion go for Lenovo support in case of any issues! Had a joystick issue and they sent me a new controller with no questions asked and literally got to me in 2 days. Lenovo support is killer!
@@twitchytwitch9503damn that’s krazy because they did the exact same for me to 💯. Just curious was it your right controller that had issues?
@@twitchytwitch9503wow I didn’t even know that but I love my legion go thank you for telling us
except for the extra 8gb of RAM maybe?
I love my Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and Rog Ally X. Because of these 3 handheld PC, now I really need a desktop PC 4090 or 5090 one day.
Why would you need all 3 lol
Now am stuck between the ally x and the go , please I need your advice
Note that I have Xbox x ps5 switch and Odin 2
@remybouchard6836 I am poor, that's why I need them all.
@@TheBoneFatherwhich one did you end up getting I just got Xbox I had ps4
Ones got the battery life, ones got the better screen. On the go the ally wins, at home on a dock the legion wins.
Yes/no both devices can’t survive a 5hr flight so it really depends
@@Godsslave777The X can survive over 5 hrs easy playing retro or indie games . Just saying
The ally x has more vram, so on a dock rog ally still performs better in “desktop mode” 🤦🏼♂️
I played new super mario bros emulator on the legion and it lasted the entire 7 hour flight, didn’t skip a beat
I was say the Rog Ally due to 32GB of RAM speakers and, they also handle Windows the best also VRR but, LegionGo is my daily driver just love the bigger screen.
Legion GO without a doubt! Never looked back. IYKYK!
What changed your mind? It's hard for me to choose
@@aaronbrown9110 Its Beastly! I still love my Steam Deck too tho
Facts!
@@aaronbrown9110 Legion Go replaced my laptop and iPad pro when Im on the go. For me, this is a game changer. I dont mind battery issues as I carry around a charger and powerbank. Still on its own, when Legion Go power saving mode is enabled, I still get 5- 7 hours of battery life.
All features are great, about the battery just get a portable power bank 65 w that’s all
Watching this on a Legion go
Same lol. Selling my ally. This thing is great.
@@Cadillacfrank94damm yall convinced me to sold my og ally fpr LeGo lestgoooo
Great video I just bought both from Best Buy to try out and I'm thinking of returning the ally x and keeping the Legion go
If Asus shrunk the bezels like what Valve did then the refresh would have been 💯 solid. Still happy with my Rogue Ally X though.
I had my heart set on the ROG Ally X over the Legion Go, but when I went into Best Buy to purchase the Ally X I saw how small the screen was, and it felt cheap compared to the Legion Go. Loving my purchase so far. Legion go has been great.
I just bought the legion go at best buy for 649 canadian. They did not had it in stock so they order one. I should have it in a few days. Still gonna keed my sd lcd. Cheers from Canada, québec, Gatineau.
Your video was very informative and I understand why the Ally X won you over. I am going to have a look at the store when the Ally X releases in my country.
Which one would be more user-friendly for someone who doesn't really game as much? I want to get a Windows handheld for my wife, and I was thinking she would like the go more. The removable controllers and bigger screen would be nice for her. She used to play the switch with the controllers off of it.
I wish the legion go gets a battery upgrade u can buy and replace
Just found your channel and subbed appreciate your opinion and delivery!!!
I don't game on the go, but I wanted something portable when I'm visiting family, so the Legion Go was perfect for me. And the fact it is full Windows means I don't have to bring my laptop anymore.
Gonna be waiting the next versions of these 2.
Id love an 8in Surface Hopefully small high power tablets become more main stream.
I went with the legion go because of that 8.8 display battery life is irrelevant for my use.
The screen on the Go is amazing.. so much better for productivity but it kills the GPU, you find yourself lowering the resolution to get better performance and some games just don't perform like Moto gp... Ergonomics aren't good, FPS mode is just awkward and the speakers don't do a good job even when you add the audio tweaks.. The Ally is just so much better.. and the X is a great upgrade over the OG Ally.
The screen size on the legion go is what i want on the new steam deck.
I'm going to say it again and again, Legion Go is the most immersive and innovative handheld to this day. The updates came quickly, and it made this device very promising. I have mine since launch, and I immediately dropped my Steam deck LCD and instead Oled. stuck with Legion, which is the true upgrade. Windows is the only way to play those triple A titles without out the headache of Linux trying to run them on low settings smh ...I don't complain about battery life when you can just charge up when you want to. I have a portable battery charger that can get the job done for Travel as well. Legion is the Beast. as that 8.8-inch display hits different. I love it also when I remotely play PS5. waiting for Legion 2 😎👍🏽
How do u get it to play remotely on the ps5?
@Isaypreach @Isaypreach there is an app called PS play, and you pay for it $14 bucks total, they send you a key to open it up to your PS5, I believe its better then Chiaki which works best for Steam deck ...PS play works better with Windows but you just have to play..there is a video on it I'll see if I can find it and send the link
Updates came quickly....and promptly died out. It hasn't had a bios or GPU driver update in over 6 months.
Had the Go and OLED. The Ally X is the best. The battery life is amazing.
as legion go and og ally user, I can say if u use it mainly for gaming choose ally x, since it fixed the main problem of og ally battery and ports. as for me i only have og ally so i dont use it often.
as for legion go, ive been used it as my main device to replace my laptop for good, so i can go outside for gaming and working sessions, but the cons are obviously its ergonomics, software optimizaion, and the fact its screen is originally in portrait, so u will have some problem with some software.
You know what? They are not fighting in the same category! The RAX and the LG have different targets.. It's all about balance between performance, ergonomy, display, and versatility. I literally run Solidworks 2024 smoothly with pretty complex projects. The Legion has no comparison. That bein' said, I'll stick to my LG
Awesome review man….the Ally X sounds good but I'm gonna stick with my Legion GO the screen size and 4 back paddles are pretty Important to I don't I can go without lol….ASUS has to at least start putting 4 back paddles on the back to get me more interested.
If turning into a handheld that doubles as a PC at the house, which is more beneficial in that aspect?
I own Ally X and my brother owns Go and from what I gathered tailored to you,
Legion Go - ‘Better PC’ -trackpad is way efficient as a PC, better display and colours. Decent gaming experience. Immersive but not smooth. Way better ergonomics.
Ally X- Best PC- 50% more faster ram is noticeable, better docked. Faster charging. Better quality build. Way smoother frames at higher resolution.
If you want a stay at home king, the go is TOP. Outside and gaming focused, Ally X
@ dam, already sent it and got the ally x.. but so far no regrets. Now im only concerned taking an 800 dollar device out the house it never leaving my sight or grasp 🤣
Try GeForce Now Ultimate on the Legion Go. It might be the only handheld that lets you play the latest Triple A games in 2k @144fps from a reputable manufacturer. This should also grant you longer game sessions and overall hardware longevity since the heavy lifting isn't being done locally.
Trueeeee❤
Can you use gforce ultimate on rog ally
@@MrKayzeemoschino Definitely, but the screen is only 1080p. 2k gaming with max settings on a handheld should be a truly next level experience. I'm surprised there aren't any videos of people testing this out.
That CRAFTD London ice you got around your neck tho 🔥
I feel like the screen and device in general with the Lenovo is just a tad too big. If they made it 7.5” instead of 8” and reworked the controller I think they would have a hit. Also, does the go support gyro?
Is the ROG ALLY X still having issues cooking the SD card?
No, they fixed it on the ally x from what I've heard
If you put the rog ally x on manual mode, you can switch to 30w turbo mode without being plugged in fyi
Bit unfair considering Go is still at 1st gen?
Bro the lenovo legion go is legit a switch on lots and lots of steroids not to mention u get some switch emulation on that thing and woo man that switch game play will be something special
The Legion Go is just perfect though, especially if you use a battery pack with it. The Biggest screen and detachable controllers plus true customization options are just superior and the New Legion Go 2 and Legion Go Lite were just leaked, so I can't wait to see what the NEW ones are gonna be like? I hope they keep the screen size and upgrade it to OLED plus it's pretty much guaranteed it is going to be way more powerful with tons more battery life. It's likely gonna cost us though, but you get what you pay for.
Should I get one of these gaming of handhelds or a gaming laptop?
Depends of ur use case. Laptops will have better cooling, better battery, more ram (maybe) and a dedicated gpu. Overall, laptops can give u better performance.
But if u want to game these are more comfortable. Basically, you trade performance for something more comfortable or convenient. Personally? I want the Legion Go.
With a dock and a keyboard u have a pretty decent PC.
I like the Legion Go more I'm just waiting for the next one rite now I may get the Asus and when the next Legion go come out definitely picking it up. Need 2 gaming PC.
Watching on my Go right now
How is the biggest difference NOT display size?
ppl dont like how big it is since they want portability
@@abdallahfayed7888 just go for steamdeck or genuine handheld I guess, I like legion go for personal work too... just like laptop-tablet
@@abdallahfayed7888not true I actually went with the legion go because it’s bigger and more immersive
@@abdallahfayed7888 i don't understand this argument. For both the legion go and the ally x you need a big case and some sort of Bag or Bagpack. You can't put the Ally into your pockets
@@abdallahfayed7888legion go is arguably MORE portable, the controllers come off leaving a tablet and 2 joy cons. plus, theyre both gonna be like 9-10 inches anyways, might as well go all in with a giant screen
what? Ally X is not hevier and Legion Go is not 640g- it is 862 (at least mine, spec says 854g). You should feel the difference when having both in hands?
I quoted the weight without joystick handles on accident
I tried the X but simply couldn't accept the downgrade in screen size from using my LLG.. plus you just cant ignore the Elephant in the room and eventually the likeliness is you will have to deal with Asus customer services or their rma process. Not for me thanks.
What brand of glasses you using ? Curious question 😅
Legion go for me! Screen wins every time
For me legion go. Screen better. Battery is no problem when you are always on the side of outlet for charging 😂
😅 I stay plugged in as well
I love the legion for the removal controls
The 16x9 vs 16x10 point is moot anymore. Many games support both. The screen on the LeGo is large enough so that the black bars above and below in 16x9 games aren't a big deal. 16x10 really shines when emulating old consoles for games without widescreen patches. The added vertical space is a huge benefit.
Because I have a gaming laptop, I can't see the appeal of Legion Go, if I want a handheld, I'd want true "handheld-able" and portability, even Ally X is a bit too big for me.
What is your laptop?
The best video ever ❤
It is hard to make decision, i like the lenovo because they controller is detachable, and i like the portability of the asus
I gave my Go to the kids and kept the Ally X. It's a perfect handheld.
I have the Lenovo and the ASUS, I love the Lenovo display size, but also hate the Lenovo size, I’ll usually use the Lenovo in the house, and the asus if I have to travel
ally x for me because its a handheld 7 inch screen is fine
Help me choose one. I really like the Go, and i think most of the issues I've heard can be updated like the wasted 144 rfr. Rogs battery is better, but same chip? Rog is more ready to go, but is it better. I really like Legions screen, controllers, and kick stand. Or just convince me the tablet form is overrated 😅
You already knows the right one .Anyone who start with legion go can never choose Ally x over go
I'm glad I own both^^
I will just say that personally I think the Legion go is more worth it due to the cheaper price but yet amazing performance. Coming from the ROG Ally Z1extreme model to this was an experience for me lol. The higher resolution ( mostly 1200p for performance purposes) is really nice and doesn’t impact performance as you would think it would. In fact I was getting more frames at the same settings in most if not all the games in my collection. Also while nice, the VRR display is not the game changer you may think. I have found my games play smoother on the Legion go despite it not having the feature
I already know the answer but ima watch anyway!
What answer? Rog or legion?
Whine was fixed on 2024 models luckily
854g Legion GO
678g ROG Ally X
how is rog ally x is the Heavier one ?
Read off the weight of legion go without joysticks on accident
I use my Legion go for almost everything. I have a msi raider 3080 thats become pretty much a television because all my gaming and everyday browsing can be done on the go. Not to mention that I use it to make music and it handles FL studio and pro tools like a champ. When it comes to copying speeds tho, my msi is the number 1 choice because copying large files takes 3 times longer on my legion go
Say it again for the people in the back 🔥
I mainly just play Call Of Duty, Which do you think is better for COD?
Is the FPS mode on the Legion Go worth compromising on the ally X’s upgrades?
My personal favorite for COD is the Ally X. I like the FPS mode, but I honestly do not play that way over the normal way typically.
Been debated bf between the two been waiting for this video
I wish the d-pad was better on LeGO, I mostly play fighting games. The diagonal inputs can be quite inconsistent.
No I will not play fighting games with an analog stick.
I want the Ally X for battery but the screen on the legion go is so beautiful. I’m stuck 😭😭
You can mod legion go with twice the battery life
I’m new to pc gaming I want the best one for about $1k. Which one do you guys recommend for that price
It depends.
- If you want decent performance, a massive screen, a trackpad and something that multifunctions as a tablet, go for the legion go
- If you want the best possible user experience, OLED screen, trackpads and decent battery go for steam deck oled
- If you only care for raw performance and nothing else (well the battery is also decent) the ally x. (Its performance is around 15% better than legion go and 30% better than steam deck)
@ thanks bro, I’m going to pre order the ally x now!
I think the Legion Go is currently the best handled gaming PC on the market. The Steamdeck is awesome and all but it's significantly underpowered by 2004 standards. The Legion Go will play literally anything, it's almost 9 teraflops, the PS5 is 10. It's basically a 780m iGPU and they are almost like magic.
I have the Legion Go, Steam Deck OLED, a modded Nintendo Switch OLED, and a regular Nintendo Switch(V2). Am I really missing something without having the ASUS ROG Ally/X? Or the MSI Claw? I kind want to sell one of them but idk lol. I might wait for the Legion Go 2
The Ally X is better in almost every way...except the main reason that counts - the screen. Gaming on the Legion is night and day compared to the Ally. Or any 7 incher, for that matter. It's second to none experience right now. Especially if you mostly play at home.
How is it better in every way? Please explain in detail
So which one do you like more.?
Am I the only one that’s confused from this comment.
I think whichever one you go with, you’ll be happy with it. Let’s face it, they really aren’t THAT much different. These videos try to make these differences much bigger than they are. However, that screen is a major difference…especially for older gamers or those who’s sight isn’t the best.
I have the Legion Go, I love it. Just make sure you install the latest video drivers. I may also get the rog ally x when I see a deal. Or wait for the Legion Go 2. But, either way, you’re going to be happy either way you go.
Also, you made way too much of a deal over the battery. What are you talking, an extra 30 minutes? In game time that is nothing and by no means a deal breaker.
I’d really love if you’d review the Onexplayer X1 AMD, I mean yer it’s not for everyone because the size, but my god is it special!
You talked about look and feel but not the actual performance as that's the only thing that matters. On SteamDeck and Ally most game struggle due to low power. How does Lenovo perform agains X?
Legion go is about 15% weaker than the ally x.
Looking more towards Rog ally X
LLG FOR THE WIN FOR ME!!
🤔 so im a truck driver and i mostly do borderlands, cod, gta and gonna try boulders gate. Any ideas on ally x or a legion go? How much better does it look on a certain one cause im going to bestbuy tomorrow to pick up one of these 2
The Rog Ally X is an absolute no brainer, for someone like yourself. The 80watt battery can give you up to 3hrs of battery, if you set the tdp to 17watts, which is all you need tbh. Also, get a ugreen 130w power bank, which can literally give you a whole day of gameplay, if you’re on the go.
Also another thing is, the Rog ally having a smaller screen is a great advantage for a handheld, because you can set most games at 900p, and it’ll still look amazing whereas, the Legion go having a bigger screen, will mean having to set the games at a higher resolution, which means slower frame rate and top of this, it has a 40watt battery, which is way smaller than the Rog ally X
ally x hands down .I returne my legion go its just too heavy over long period of time plus battery is useless barely 2 hours in balance mode and not even 1 hour in turbo mode
