Legion Go Review 2 Months Later, Even Better

Ғылым және технология

Two months ago, the Lenovo Legion Go was a promising but rough-around-the-edges gaming handheld. Fast forward, and thanks to a flurry of updates, it's blossomed into a compelling option for tech-savvy gamers who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
🛒 Legion Go howl.me/clkImmz1z2i
Updates have totally transformed the Legion Go. You can now adjust how sensitive the joysticks are, so aiming in Call of Duty feels better. Plus, they fixed a bunch of compatibility issues, so even games like EA FC 24 run perfectly now.
And it's not just for gaming. You can plug in a mouse and keyboard and turn it into a mini-PC for browsing, watching KZread, or even light office work.
The coolest thing? There's a super active community online where you can find tips, tricks, and even chat with the Lenovo peeps themselves. They're constantly working on making the Legion Go even better.
If you're a tech-savvy gamer who's down to customize your experience and doesn't mind a little tinkering, the Legion Go is seriously worth checking out

    Mine will be here tomorrow really wish they had a dock going to use a anker usb-c 4k hub to connect to my asus predator 240hrz 1080p ips monitor. Love the deck and personally won the deck lottery on that cause it prefroms great the dock still has its issues but not a huge deal but personally the deck has been great for me burt also 30fps 720 upscaled to 1080 doesn't really bother me so excited to see what the Go can due but personally this will stayed in docked (mode) so hopefully it will be a good replacement for my now bonked hp omen 15 rtx3060 ryzen 5800h still works but windows no longers sees the dedicated gpu so its chromebook at this point. I know it won't prefrom like the laptop i had, but if it can play darktide, baldurs gate 3, squad, ready or not, gtfo, which the deck can play those just not a real good experience. I will be happy

    Out of the box the sound is terrible. I had a laptop I brought almost 5 years ago that had the same problem. I installed Realtek software on both that laptop and the legion go and the sound improved. I have the steam deck OLED the sound on the legion go now is good enough compared to it when gaming. Having used the legion go for about 2 weeks now, I can tell you the sound isn't as bad as you think. If you are good with Windows, and view this as more of a small tablet than a gaming handheld as it is simply not one regardless of the detachable controllers, it's worth the purchase in my opinion.

    False info. Sound is good quality, just change the sound settings. There's a post on the LegionGo subreddit describing what setting to modify. It's not cheap, it's just a jank initial setting which can be swapped easily in under a minute.

    Thanks for the honest video man! For me, I’m a dad and so far only played on Xbox , I want to play MW3 (and maybe games like God of war, red dead redemption) but not use our TV so I can still sit with my wife and kid So if I don’t bother much about playing on the go or playing certain other games, would you recommend the Lenovo or the Steam deck OLED for that purpose? I just ordered the Steam deck 1TB OLED but after understanding that it might be an issue to play MW3 On the Steam deck due to anti cheat , I’m thinking about getting the Lenovo instead Any input is highly appreciated

    Why? Windows is a horribly optimized and bloated OS. Windows handhelds will never be able to optimize for gaming nearly as well as a purpose built OS released by Steam. The only thing better about windows is compatibility with certain games. Which is valid but the capability gains Steam OS has pioneered in the last few years are nothing short of amazing compared to Linux gaming 6 years ago.
