The Legion Go is nice, I have one, and I like it, but I prefer my Steam Deck for most of my mobile gaming for the reasons mentioned in this video. I agree that there needs to be time for Lenovo to refine the device and I look forward to seeing what they will do. Well done, great video. The best I've seen so far for the practicality of it all.

I am impressed by Legion Go's screen. Phenomenon colours, huge screen, 144hz and 2k resolution. I stream my games from my computer to the all over the house and the games look stunning. They also look really great when playing stand-alone (non stream). Obviously, software quirks need to be ironed out, but I am really impressed with it, much more so than my old Ally. I also ordered the Oled Steam Deck and I will compare them when it comes.

@@steverich9979 Thank you! I agree with you 100%. The legion Go is getting down play big time for no reason. I own a Steam Deck and I had more issues with it more than the Legion Go. People forget that the Steam Deck play less games, That the Steam Deck needs more tweaks or needs third party apps to function, and because it is Linux, it is almost impossible to mods games. Not only that, the performance is lacking. But sadly, no one will tell you that.

By far my favorite review. Everybody is nitpicking and seems like they had their mind made up before the device even came out. Half the things I see on Reddit and elsewhere, even on KZread people don't even own the device and have critical things to say. How quickly we forget the Ally I returned it four times. Steam Deck three are RMAs. We find the need to like one device we must hate the other. I like all three for different reasons and have issues with all three for different reasons. I made a post elsewhere regarding the Ally, it was only three short months ago we were talking about storming the castle regarding the SD card issue, a Band-Aid type fix like just raising fan curves. Now everybody's using the ally as the standard that must be met. Once again don't get me wrong I own all three devices steam Deck, Ally and now go. And by the way all the complaints about the Go are all software related and can be easily fixed. Except VRR of course which 90% of the people that complain about it couldn't tell the difference anyway, they're just in an echo chamber..

Nice review man! Interesting take on the RTS mode. To me what matters the most is handheld FPS gaming. So I kinda like the FPS mode but it's not going to be my main use case. But I'm digging that huge improved screen like you said and also the extra performance on top of the Steam Deck. My worry is that with fps mode going on the trackpad may be a bit of an afterthought and you can't really use it for aiming in games. Have you tried it out to see how it works?

Legion space does need some tweaking, but it doesn’t have any big concerns for me in its current form. I also own a Steam deck that I don’t really intend to return to after using the go. The only things I don’t really agree with is that I think the kick stand is awesome and the speakers are fine (but not great), definitely good enough for me.

VRR is noticeable with FPS’s like RE7, just completed it on both the Ally and Steam Deck. VRR enabled me to complete the game at 1080p max settings, it’s so good.

No VRR on a 60 Hz display is significantly different from no VRR on a 144 Hz display, the higher the refresh rate goes, the less benefit there is to VRR.

@jeffreyharness3582

7 ай бұрын

VRR is specifically designed to make large frame rate jumps smoother between the transitions. It does have limits… on the Ally it doesn’t kick in until the frame rate hits 40 fps. So the games you’re playing would need to be able to at least hit that magic number to be able to make use of the feature. With today’s AAA games and the Z1E APU in these systems, it’s hit and miss on whether you’re able to get the frame rate up to that magic number. But on games where you can hit that limit, it really is a night and day difference when it kicks in. I agree that on a lot of AAA games you probably won’t notice it on these systems… especially if you play on the higher resolution settings. But if you dial the graphic settings down it really is very noticeable.

@bassdeff8819

7 ай бұрын

@jeffreyharness3582 but at 144hz, the benefits of it are negible. It doesn't really matter if your frame rate is fluctuating because the display is pretty much always ready to receive a frame. Any microstuttering or frame tearing goes largely unnoticed. Definitely not a deal breaker for many. Because they didn't have to spend money on VRR they were able to spend the money elsewhere. There is a lot of potential with the detachable controllers. It opens up the door to possibly getting 3rd party accessories with different button layouts and features for different types of games. Someone who like MMOs or RTS games might want a left controller with a few more hot keys. Someone who primarily plays fighting games might want a different D-pad. Racing and dog fighting games can make good use of the gyros. There are a lot of possibilities to tailor your device to meet your exact needs by not going with integrated controls like the Ally or Steamdeck.

Wouldn’t VRR also save battery life cuz you limit refresh rate on the display when unnecessary? Seems useful for handhelds if that’s the case.

I agree with the points made in this video. the lack of VRR is something that I was initially concerned about, but after owning it, its a feature I don't miss at all. VSync is still a thing, and works very well. The large and high quality screen is still amazing and absolutely makes up for a lot of the other short comings of the device.

@joystickayrton

2 ай бұрын

Yeah oddly enough I’m slightly bipolar on the VRR now lol

Yeh the "portrait" display is a complete nothingburger. If someone is able to find one of the rare games that have issues, they can also find the solutions. VRR would be nice, but it's not a dealbreaker. Wish the battery was like 60wh as well, but 49.2wh isn't terrible. Speakers are probably the biggest miss, but seemingly Lenovo has some solutions incoming that will make them better at the driver/software level. The 8'8 screen is in a class of it's own, and the 144hz is actually relevant for shooter games, where FPS mode helps make it easily the #1 handheld for shooters. Strategy games is another thing that it excels at with its massive screen and ability to be a proper vertical mouse. The reviews are nowhere near positive enough considering how solid the Legion Go is. Honestly most of these reviewers listed are just major fanboys of the Steam Deck, eventhough it's strictly worse in nearly everyway. The new Steam Deck Oled claws back some of the beating the obsolete steam deck was taking, but even still it's looking up at the King, the Legion Go, from it's perch on the silver medal stand.

The device weight feels good (subjective as I am someone who stays physically fit). Feel free to ask questions or request for another quick review within a few weeks to a month. Disclaimer, this is my first handheld device (outside of a gamersx2 S23 Ultra Emulation gaming).

great video man! Im actually about to purchase the LLG in a few days because i want screen size and screen quality. Lenovo will undoubtedly update all these issues very soon and they have a huge update coming out soon. Once all these are smoothed out through patches and updates it will stand alone as the king of handhelds. These arent design flaws, theyre software flaws. They can be fixed.

Your honesty and obvious integrity is soooooooo appreciated. I ordered the Steam Deck Limited Edition Oled but to be honest, I was never happy with the performance of my original Steam Deck. The Oled will look better but the performance gains are minimal. After watching your video and Hubwood's video, I'm cancelling my Oled Steam Deck order and getting the Legion Go. The Legion Go has many bells and whistles that I like. I'm going to Best Buy today. Great video and Thank you. I meant to ask if the Oled Steam Deck changes your opinion about the Lenovo being the best handheld?

Appreciate your well explained discussion of the Go. I have a Win 4, and am getting a SD OLED (arrives tomorrow). I will skip this generation of the Go, but will watch and see what Lenovo does in the future with this device.

I'm 100% with you on this. Definitely subbed. I think most of the time, my opinions are on the unpopular side but is mainly because I always try to think outside the box.

(I want oculink port so I like the gpd win mini but if ayaneo flip ds would happen and it would have oculink port then that's my dream) I agree with you the legion go is currently the best windows handheld "right now" and that the Steam Deck is still really relevant because of SteamOS and all the optimization that they did

thanks for the detailed clip! My only reservations about the Legion Go were portrait mode and being able to turn it off-mid game & power it back to resume gaming without issues. Seems like portrait mode really is overblown by reviewers and is really a non-issue after watching ur clip. I just got a steam deck oled yesterday, and LOVE it everything about it, but really disappointed in how so many games in my library don't work on it or need tinkering to get it to work. It's been more of a hassle than I thought when everyone is hyping up. I think Legion Go, with it's versatility / performance and having Win11 is actually an advantage since you can play just about anything on it is better all around. Gonna see about swapping this Steamdeck for Legion Go.

I like your take on this. I was thinking on buying it, but i might do that later not now, trying to build my pc at the moment. But I will get it probably next year.

the speakers are on top because joys are detachable.. they have to place it somewhere other than the joy sticks. if am an engineer.. i would make small holes on the sticks near the screen on each.. and let the speakers blow from sides and the joys if attached will redirect the sound to your face through holes.. when joys detached the sound will blow from the sides giving better surround effect compared to top.

Yeah that sounds pretty awesome, I’m curious if there’s a Legion go 2 what they do to try and solve it because it’s the biggest issue outside of button placement for me

I think the point the other reviewers are making is that the average consumer wont know how to so easily figure out a workaround for a game they just want to pick up and play. I dont feel like the reviews are saying "the lenovo legion go is a bad device" it feels more like they are saying its not user friendly, which it isnt tbh lol. Im still on the fence whether i wanna buy this or the ROG Ally... My buddy has the go and its a BEAST, he seems to really be enjoying it, especially more so recently after some updates. This was a very well done and down to earth video. You should be way up there and im sure you will be.

Great review. Thanks.

Really curious to see how you would use this as a laptop daily driver too. Would a bluetooth kb combo be able to fully replace laptop use?

The best video about the device. The playing Total War games on handheld gaming platform is outstanding thing personally for me. That is really dreams came true. I've just started thinking about to buy this device.

You can hook up a mouse and keyboard for those that aren’t comfortable with the FPS mode. As well as a monitor if you need a bigger screen for more competitive gaming.

Vrr is not a big deal. I agree! Lenovo legion go will get more updates and bios update

Three questions! 1 ; How does Total War run ? 2 ; How strong is it REALLY? Like - what settings do you put your game in? 3 ; Is it a hell to update like some people make it seem?

That some great news, could I check also my steam account already have total war, will I still need to pay for 1 at the legion go steam? My console only coming next week so I am still trying to get some info before playing it

I am writing this 3-4 weeks after your video. I bought the Lenovo Legion Go and dont regret it. With the new software updates, bios update, vga driver update, etc this is running smooth. I am really happy with it.. I was tempted to get a steam deck oled but i love the flexibility of a real PC in a handheld-ish form factor.

Thanks for the video. No issue with with no VRR, just stutters under 30fps,.the same as with my Ally. Definitely like the rebranding to RTS mode,. hopefully they listen but IG they were going after MnK players. I play 90% FPS but on controller so gamepad mode works for me with 4-6 back buttons.. speaking of which, never have any issues with hitting any button by mistake on controllers. Hope they change the menu and guide buttons, apparently they are based on community update page. Yeah would love one of those big time YT reviewers to make a comparison video of the SD card between the Go and Ally, oh wait... yeah I was like WTH is Phawx going with this, when he showcased games and portrait Monitor issues, who are these ppl playing them.. never heard any of them lol. Hopefully they get the software up and running better. The speakers lol. Ally has the best for sure but then again I'm using headphones which I can either use the 3.5mm or extra USB C Port

As someone who owns both which one would you recommend? I’m caught between the vita with a keyboard and the super switch Lenovo vs gdp win 4? Idc ab size, just game performance (I also don’t care ab heat, that can be fixed) Just longevity of the device, battery life, and weather or not the dead zones are as bad on these things as everyone says

After windows boots up are you getting the sound of something is being connected or disconnected from a usb port. For some reason I always gets those sounds right before I enter my pass code.

great video man, i have the steam deck which i really like and the ROG ally that i dont know what to think about, mess with windows can be such a bullshit sometimes and all the other minor problems with the ally makes me dont use it a lot like i thought i would. the legion go really seems like a really good device and i really like the idea of the joycons but im afraid with windows experince again im more updating than playing games. i think ill wait a couple months to see if the software they give you is enough to jump right to a game and not loosing focus with other things.

I bought a steam deck oled cause of the price and my first PC handheld, looking towards a legion go next year when it's on sale cause I wanna use my gamepass without cloud also hope they fix the software over time even the decks software is rough

Glad to hear!

Out of curiosity, why are you getting rid of the win 4? I currently own a steam deck, I'm waiting for my Win 4 to arrive, and am trialing the Go during Best Buy's holiday return period. I was having second thoughts about the go until an epiphany happened the other night and I took off the controllers and just casually started using it as a tablet and it came to me how versatile of a device it really was.

@joystickayrton

I’m getting rid of the win4 because the games I really want to play are difficult on the 6inch screen. It’s a good device but I’ve put some much time in to the legion and I know the win4 is just going to sit in the case and never get used.

I had a feeling it was something like that because I’m already dreading I would feel that way when I get my hands on it. I guess only a first hand impression will tell. Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work. Always nice hearing a different angle for once.

Excellent review!

Best review, feels honest. I’m getting it tomorrow thanks to this review. Thanks Btw, any update on how you feel with this device 2 months later??

Any issue with the usb c ports? Wuff Den and Retro Games Corps reported some problems. Possibly overheating causing disconnection.

This is one of the best videos I've seen about legion go. I am torn between this and oled steam deck.... I play alot of emulation especially ps2 and gamecube and notived the deck struggles on some games.... and I hear the d pad is horrendous on the legion. I am so torn what to get 😮

Perfectly said yes a lot of top 1 percenters complaining about a lot of stuff that most people won’t even touch ‼️I’ve had my GO for 3 days I’m a first time PC gamer I don’t even know what VRR is I’m not spending hundreds of dollars to game on a tiny baby screen I don’t even know how those sold successfully. I also think the legion Go is being blackballed/ & or gated by other companies & some KZreadrs are simply not allowed to like the Legion GO due to their other obligations the gaming industry is truly a hardball playing mafia

Lml😂 my z690 hero was one of those motherboards! I was blow away when I checked an saw the capacitor upside down. good take man seems real genuine, I've held off on grabbing a handheld via my use case but the GO seems like an option for ME. BUT I'm also a video file lol and the Oled/hdr display on the new deck for my "eyes" seems compelling but the performance is a Drawback, Im trying to fine-tune what my use case would be, mostly big rpgs, story modes, odd ball cod, but idk if the new deck can run those good enough or stick with the sdr/bigger screen of the go zeeeshhh😂

Hey great Video if you read this i got a Question. Im thinking about getting a Lenovo Go. But im a bit unsure because you said a few older games will not work because of the Screen but dont tell wich. Beside using the device as a Handheld i also plan to use it to play it in Tabletop mode With Keyboard and Mouse. And i Plan to play some older games i havent played for a long time like Dragon Age 1+2 , Deus Ex , Half Life 2 , Warcraft 3 , Starcraft 2 or some older FPS Games. Do they not work on the legion ?

@tuluhanbicer6663

they are working on the legion go, much older game they are talking about, not half life 2 or deus ex

This looks cool I am considering buying to try it out then return it or something like that. it needs updates and times. Steam deck was not the best like steam deck but with updates things improve. I want this to run well and just enjoy it on my 18 hour flight coming up in December. The Rts mode is cool innovative way to play games :).

You are totally right, it seems that lenovo is getting bullied for small things that can be fixed in future updates but Ally "it ruins your sd card but no big deal... you can always replace it, easy..." and Lenovo "oh it doesn't have vrr that mean it's trash, even if i cannot see the damn difference" I trust Lenovo and I think it will become way better with each update.

Medieval total war I believe. He talks about these games between 11:30 - 11:45 of the video.

I cant wait to pick mine up and try some emulators on it. Its giving portable PC home console and thats exactly what I've been looking for

Best well thought out review of the legion Go. He hit all the right points, all the other reviews ive watched are all fluffs, and didnt really give time to the Legion Go, they all just wanted clicks. And this is two months later watching this video since it was released.
