I honestly thought a not KZread app was giving me a better image at the same resolution as the official youtube app. So in focus, so clear, so much detail, textures. Comparing, the two, it's the quality of this video, the different app was a coincidence.

Awesome look at the Legion Go, Bill, looking forward to even more coverage!

Amazing break down, this answered many of the questions I had that others have not touched on - love the detailed breakdown of how FPS mode works. Good job.

Thank you very much for releasing this great in-depth review! Looking forward to getting my Legion Go soon!

That was a great review. Most reviews that I’ve seen are just all going over the same thing but you went deep and talked about the controls and what buttons do what and when you turn it into FPS mode what button does what. That was a great video, good job I look forward to watching more!!!

As much as i love my steam deck and always will, i am so looking forward to getting my hands on the Legion Go, this thing looks sick

Thank you for talking about quick resume, or the lack thereof. Couldn’t find that answer anywhere else!

This Legion Go review is THE BEST detailed review on KZread now. Thank you for the review :)

it's cool that you can detach the controllers and use this as a pretty functional windows tablet as well

Thank god finally a good look at this System love your channel great first look thanks.

Do you recommend the lenovo go ?

Hey Bill, Great video! One note though, QHD means Quad HD. This means 4 times 720 or "high def". 2560x1440 is 4 times the pixels count on 720p. Nothing to do with 16:10 aspect ratio. So this screen has 4x the pixel count of a steam deck as 2560×1600 is 4x the 1280×800 resolution on the deck. Looks awesome! Probably sticking with my deck for now though. Thanks for the info in this!

Rock and roll! I’m so excited!

Bill's videos are far and away the best in this market. His voice and presence are good for the medium, he doesn't overdue his enthusiasm when presenting, and the editing is paced perfectly. I am a huge fan.

How reviews should be done, thank you!

looking all over for these reviews

Yo the edits on this video are next level Great music and transitions Also yes I can’t wait to get my hands on the legion go. The screen is the biggest factor for me. Everything else is cool

So far what I’m seeing I love it thank you Sir to go so deep

Cool video! Price high, but I can see why. For me I think the most important is the UI experience and workablity with steam. Looking forward to more videos of this!

I've noticed you've upped your presentation in your latest videos. Looks good!

Thank you! The only person giving air time to the gyro.

Interesting review thanks. I'm thrilled by this Lenovo handheld... Still holding tight to my SD but I'm happy to see more of these. And it looks like Lenovo did a fairly good job regarding the design and functionality. Let's see how the support will be for the next year. And what mods/repairs can be done to it (cause imo, that's what seems to keep the SD way above competitors).

I almost need a video showing someone booting it up for the first time to figure out where it lies between the pc gaming and console gaming worlds. I personally like being able to go to any website, listen to spotify, or stream on the same system as I'm gaming on. How much this fits that pc mold will determine how much I enjoy it (and potentially a future purchase). I was stoked seeing a system similar to a nintendo switch, able to play my favorite games, with a mouse that I've always wanted someone to design. Edit - Nvm I'm sold I saw the flash of a pc desktop screen at arround 10:44. That's enough to convince me it's still a PC.

Make sure you update the Ally to the latest drivers and firmware before doing bench comparisons. The latest drivers and firmware really increased performance for me. Looks like a great piece of kit!

best review yet thank you ❤

Most informative review so far! Sadly, the part where gyro doesn't work when detached is such a silly oversight.. Personally, I am holding off for a revision or maybe a 3rd party controller that would allow me to play shooters without using this gimmicky fps mode. It may work for some and may be good in niche cases, but I'd 100% rather have gyro in the right pad. Seems like lenovo needed a unique selling point and they've done this just for the sake of it.

Im impressed by your dedication to detail in this video great work 🎉

Looks really clean and neat. I have the ally and due to $$$ I’ll just be sticking with that. I have no issues with it at all now I’m use to it. But this is great competition, hopefully more pc handhelds come out and really push the companies to do better and for Microsoft to release a handheld version of windows for these devices.

The control scheme of this handheld has made it the most interesting PC handheld to me since the deck.

Finally some legion go videos are coming up! was that sonic origins plus while testing the sound?

Happy about the competition in the handheld market

looks amazing. i love the mouse integration into the controller. i would dual boot this into the steam deck os. software sleeping not working is a deal breaker. its not really portable if you cant travel with it in sleep mode. i already have a steam deck and enjoy it when im waiting for class. sometimes i watch movies on it and its not that bad. its better than gaming on a laptop, and definitely lasts longer than a gaming laptop. at least its repairable, unlike most modern laptops.

Awesome video! Quick settings taking 3 presses seems a bit off

Thanks Bill!! Gotta say I am interested, yet I am not a tech savvy but I don't know if VRR is a must on device nowadays or don't have to.

This is a great review

Great Video. Any chance you could try a total war game with detached controllers in your full review

This might be the most underrated KZread channel I’ve ever witnessed

This looks like a great device. The only problem i have is key bindings. It doesn't seem to be able to change the bindings on the device itself. Yes it can be done within game but ... Is this something that may be added later within the UI? Can it be done in Steam's controller configurator? Also it would have been nice to have that second touchpad but that i can overlook. Otherwise this looks like a really fun device. I have a midrange PC at the house. I barely turn it on since i got my Deck. I'm not much of a graphics or fps snob. This like a pretty good step up. And without the compatibility or anticheat issues that the Deck has. Honestly not worried about the ecosystem too much (except for the performance tab). I just going to go into Big Picture Mode probably. Very exciting 🎉

Hey just to let you know QHD does not mean 16:10. QHD is 2560x1440p. In this case it’s 2560x1600p which is noted as QHD+. In case you are unaware HD is 720p, FHD is 1080p, QHD is 1440p, and UHD is 4K. Great content as always looking forward to the performance review.

I'm considering upgrading from the Deck and my only worry is that they might have fps mode for.... Fps games 😛 but then the trackpad is kind of an afterthought and won't perform well in games

Hi Mate, have you preorder the official release? Looking forward on your take on that.

When it comes to these handhelds, a VRR screen is good for games where the fps won't go high enough as the screen refresh rate. So let's say 40fps looks WAY smoother on a VRR screen than 40fps on a non-VRR screen. A high refresh rate screen means nothing when you're playing a very demanding game at 40fps, but VRR shines in this scenario, however. That's why I consider the Rog Ally a better contender to this, in the screen department ofc.

800p integer scaling on 1600p screen to get that higher fps, no?

@provis83

8 ай бұрын

Doesn’t quite work that way. VRR just syncs the refresh rate of the screen to what the gpu is producing. This helps because if they aren’t in sync you have to wait for the actual screen refresh as well. When out of sync it can produce screen tearing, jutter, and a feeling of choppiness. That being said if you cap your frame rate at a setting you know is always achievable and it’s divisible by your max refresh rate you can have a similar consistency. Where VRR helps is when you have inconsistent frame rate. So you are running a game between 50-70 fps depending on load. It will generally feel smooth. However this is a fairly large swing and the response time time still might be noticeable.
