The issue is resolution, from other clips it appears the legion Go is doing within 2 fps of the Ally but running at 1200p rather than 1080! Same chip, just faster ram. At 1080p the Go would be around 3-6 fps faster, but with the display resolution being 1600p it scales to 1200p rather than 1080. Most games can force windowed to 1080p to try and match, but quite a few just don't like it so keep that in mind when asking for certain games. Just know this is the best performing handheld to date, and hope we get a 40hz preset in the quick menu!

We gamers are eating good this year. All the games that came out this year. Then we got stuff like the ROG Ally and now This.

I'm more worried about the future. While a lot of games came out, a lot of unnecessary layoffs happened too, along with "necessary" layoffs that shouldn't have become necessary in the first place. The industry is gonna lose a lot of talent and the executives are gonna try to replace them with insufficient AI systems. A big crash in AAA is coming. It's not quite inevitable, but the C-Suite people aren't willing to do a thing to prevent it. So hopefully it comes sooner rather than later. And hopefully the next wave of top-tier game development manages to not be so... well... modern capitalist.

Pre ordered mine and got it today and as soon as I touched it I knew I liked it more than the ally. Love the design of it, the screen size, speed of it etc. will be selling my ally and keeping this most likely. I got the 1TB version and it’s worth every penny. Love the case it comes with as well unlike what ASUS gave us.

Would love to see benchmarks of the Legion Go with a GPD G1 egpu. Also curious about oculink vs usb4 with this setup!

Thanks for your video. For the next one could be interesting to see it rendering or testing vulkan compatibility. Many thanks again.

Always great content! Super interested in this one. Love my Steam Deck and my Switch! I’d be curious how this works with the left controller for WASD and a gaming mouse for the right hand. Might have to go down the street to MicroCenter for this one!

I see this as a matured version of the OneXplayer 2 that i almost bought before settling on the Steam Deck. I was tempted by the potential to take it along travelling, hook it to a lapdock and voila a work computer. Having said that my gaming days seem to be over, I spend 95% of my steam deck time playing gameboy Tetris.

I love it! The direction handheld gaming is going is a dream for an old gamer like me... but it's just to expensive. I'll be watching from the sidelines for a while. Ps5 remote play will have to do for now.

Dude thanks for posting. Now to find out if I want to buy one today!

I wish they went for a larger battery since they were already going so big. Didn’t have to be the 75wh battery of the Kun but 60wh would have been nice.

Looks good, if I didnt had bought my rog ally in june this would be a great buy for me with the 1tb ssd

Hi! Mine is coming nov 13th! I am so excited !

What would interest me personally, is more details on the screen: 1. Is it a big issue that the screen doesn't support FreeSync? BTW, is it possible to turn it on when connected to a supported external display? 2. Does native 1600p display help the image clarity when downscaling to 800p, making it 2x pixel perfect, or it doesn't matter much on such a small display? And yeah, comparison benchmarks would help a lot!

Needs a track pad for windows nav. Has a better screen, bigger screen, detachable controllers like the switch but MUCH better joysticks and a track pad.

Hey, thanks for the review. If I can give some feedback, as I didn't really find this video to be super helpful. This review really only showed good things about the LLG, but there were no cons, critiques, or anything of that sort. I really am weary of reviews where the product is just showed as being perfect and then affiliate links are pushed at the end. Doesn't give me any confidence in the reviewer. Especially because there are so few reviews of this thing out due to Lenovo's dumbass embargo, it was disappointing to watch this video and see very little in the way of criticisms. It would be nice in your next video to see: - pros and cons summary at the end - addressing the portrait mode issue with older games - the weight of the device and comfort, especially for people who don't have giant hands - the unfinished areas of Legion Space - any bloatware that is included with the device - real applications of the buttons in game, ie the trackpad in RTS, dpad in platformers and fighters (you used the analog stick lol), sensitivity of the triggers, feel of the buttons

I am thoroughly disappointed that the screen is 144hz. Because 120hz is objectively better for handhelds. Since we can only achieve butter-smooth frame pacing when the FPS is an exact division of the refresh rate, this means the Legion Go can only get smooth pacing at 72, 48, and 36 fps. If the screen were 120hz, we’d instead have smooth pacing at 60, 40, and 30fps, which are more standard and support emulation a lot better. 120hz would’ve been perfect and we wouldn’t even need to switch to 60hz manually. 120hz would also mean it wouldn’t be necessary to have per-game refresh rate settings. Just lock the fps in-game to 30, 40, or 60 and that’s it. What a HUGE missed opportunity by Lenovo.

Having both Rog and Legion Go most of KZreadrs miss few things. - Legion Go is substantially heavier and it is hard to hold it one handed - Legion Go software has some positive like setting exact custom TDP like Steam Deck but overall functionally is much more clunky than Rog software. It does not use helper to be run on the background it has to load full screen. I guess Lenovo wanted to mimic Steam OS but it is not that helpful. - The entire Legion Go UI is not well optimized and it is very lagging in the current form. Despite faster memory. - Legion Go is weirdly quiet with headphones. Have to crank up sound to 100 to hear anything from the speakers. - To pull up quick menu to change the TDP you have to press right button 3x times, the first click is the left shortcut menu for last opened games - Lenovo Go UI looks a bit like from 1990s PC game. -1600p screen 16:10 creates a lot of issues using things like Moonlight for local game streaming of all the DLSS 3.5 ray trace goodness - Even at the same 10 watt TDP and same resolution Legion Go pushes less frame than Rog on Wargroove 2. - Legion Go definitely shows a need for 5090 because 1600p at 144hz is not happening on 4090 for local game streaming - The lack of VRR makes Rog feel much much smoother. There are some massive spikes in frame graph. - It is much harder to force gamepad on Lenovo Go than on Rog so you might be fiddling with options a lot unnecessarily - Turning off led does not turn off power led on Legion Go which is so weird for those playing at night. - I do like the larger screen of Legion Go and some of FPS functionality - I have a lot of issue with Bluetooth on Rog Ally it looks much more stable on Legion Go Overall hardware is interesting minus the weight but software massively holds it back. If you have Rog stick with Rog If you consider Rog and Legion Go I think you will have much better experience with Rog in the current state.

I am ordering it right now.

Egpu like a 4060 ti or a 7700xt would probably be a good test for this thing, but would also love to see a 4090

No vrr, over saturated display, huge and heavy, the way controllers atach looks like a failing point. No thanks.

Ok

Wonder why they didn’t make it more powerful being that the ally has the same specs with VRR and was released mid year.

It's already pretty expensive for a lot of people as it is.

they probably didn't have any other options. the Z1 is just a really good chip and getting AMD to make something new would delay it a while. it does have faster ram though so all things equal the legion go will perform better.

what do you mean? Z1 extreme is the best chip available on it range, next one comes next year, cant do more powerful than that unless they go a different route which would be hard for a handheld…

@@Coliflower185 Fan the deck shows the ally preforming better purely cause it’s a 1080p screen and it’s natively supports landscape mode while the legion has portrait screen at a higher resolution. 😁

2023 is one of the best year of gaming we got so many good games and devices

Thanks for the vid! It is a great device from what I can see. I am planning to sell my Legion y740 15inches and buy this hand held.

Great device. Z1 Extreme is exactly two times more powerful than Apple M1. Really fascinating, and the three hour battery in balanced mode is super. It really reachs gaming pc level without anything less in a more compact form factor❤

Brother can you give me the HN2673 mini pc

i love Legion Space..looks cool

amazing, do you know if legion go have support for Egpus? also would be great if you do a video showing this beast with steam os, thank you

In my eyes, this is the best device yet. I have the AOK ZOE A1 Pro, which I LOVE, but the benefits of this device are: - Larger screen - Higher res - Higher refresh rate - 4 back paddle buttons - Cheaper
