Despite the lack of updated drivers, I've always had a good experience with Lenovo support. Considering the recent expose by Gamers Nexus around ASUS' crazy customer service, I'd weigh that heavily comparing the ROG and Legion Go.

@marksapollo 11 дней назад

Yes, Asus have certainly dropped in service levels these days, more interested in ripping the customer off. Lenovo like Valve are better then that.

@moomah5929 11 дней назад

@@marksapollo Not always. As an IT guy at an university where we use lots of Lenovo hardware and from personal use I can tell, Lenovo has it's own problems. Good luck getting you stuff replaced or repaired out of guarantee even though it seems to be faulty by design (lots of people with similar issues). Lenovo devices look nice but have their out-of-box issues like the keys on my wife's Yoga 2-in-1 triggering the touch screen causing random mouse movements when used closed with a dock and external mouse. Also has some random and odd other issues. The Thinkpad X1 Carbon I got at work has battery issues, odd issues where it freezes randomly for a few seconds and the keyboard is also touching the screen, causing it to get dirty from natural skin oil and I have quite dry hands. Lenovo doesn't design such devices with a big enough gap between screen and keyboard. At this point I would rather get the SD (if I wouldn't own one already) than the Legion Go, but I also don't have any experiences with Valves customer support.

@CSHummer 11 дней назад

The Legion Go really surprised me. I bought one on a whim, open box deal at BB. I fully intended on returning it, expecting to hate it. On paper, it looks bulky, uncomfortable, the controls seem weirdly designed, and windows on handhelds wasn't appealing to me. But somehow, it won me over and is my absolute FAVOURITE handheld out of any of the ones I have. Does it have issues? Yes, definitely. But the huge, vibrant screen, is so incredibly immersive, and the flexibility of being able to use it as a tablet, and have all the simplicity of being able to use windows actually is a huge difference to other handhelds out there. Having windows on a 7inch screen really doesn't work because of readability for me, but the Legion Go, I don't feel like I'm making any compromises. I don't recommend it at full price, but I do recommend people hunt for deals on this and try it out, it may surprise you.

Holy crap Russ.... You just fixed my Lenovo x12 laptop's speakers, and I have been trying for well over two years to fix them. They were so metallic and tinny that they would peak and crackle simply at the sound of plugging a device into them. Turns out I didn't have EQ settings in realtek, but that took me down a rabbit hole I hadn't thought about, and turns out there was a dolby atmos console with some dynamic setting that was ja cking everything up. Turned it off... your voice stopped peaking the speakers. They still weren't tolerable, but no longer unusable. So I added in FXsound and turned it to light processing and holy crap it sounds like a laptop. Not a great laptop, but I can actually use the speakers to listen to a lecture now. Man lenovo can't do speakers for crap. Absolutely OUTSTANDING customer service though, I don't love my X12 as a device, but spending $250 for 5 years of next day on-site repair has paid for itself several times over, having a technician come to my house and fix the several hardware faults I've had (firmware update bricking my display driver, dropped it once and broke the magnesium chassis and one speaker)

I got my legion go around January, and i love it. I play it almost every day. I've purchased the same grips, and they make it way more comfortable, and as a plus it can still fit in the original case, though just barely, and I've also 3d printed the connector and the vertical screen connector for emulating DS/3DS. I'm finally getting to play sega saturn since none of my other devices emulate it acceptably to me (Retroid Pocket Flip, Samsung Galaxy S10+ with a Razer controller, modded Switch in Android dual boot, though i haven't tried the Switch Cotton rom injection. Only a few games i play require balance mode, where i get 2 hours of play time, most of my emulators and indy steam games run on power saver mode, where i get 3 - 4.5 hours of battery time. Just being able to play anything without having to set up a laptop has been a game changer, and has made it so much easier to just pick up a device when i have 5-10 minutes, or when i just want to play on the couch or in bed. 10/10 would recommend, and if you can get one open box you can get it cheaper than a steam deck OLED. Even so, with the ability to play game the deck can't, and play the games it can better, i think it's worth the extra dollars in my personal opinion.

As someone that at some point travelled overseas with a PS4 fat, a portable monitor, dualshock, personal laptop, business laptop and their corresponding power bricks. The only thing I could say is that I'm amazed with my 2 handhelds! (SD OLED and LLGo), I have to say that on my recent trips I have been choosing the LLGo over the SD OLED simply because I can play any game I want. Also, with controllers dettached it is very easy to travel with, its like travelling with a chunkier ipad mini, then you can throw the controllers wherever you want (these are light but very durable so I dont really care about those at all). Also I have been using it just as a tablet to watch videos, read documents/epubs/browsing in portrait mode and it is a pleasure, I don't really feel the need of a personal laptop anymore. The only thing I could say I'm really missing is a finger print scanner to unlock the thing, similar as the ally. Other than that if they release a refresh of this same product with a few more enhancements: better ergonomics, native landscape display, more refresh rate modes and not only 60-144, more software updates, maybe even an OLED screen, Lenovo will simply blast the handheld market, only with those updates I will be sold to upgrade and not even consider to get rid of my original V1, since I still think that is an amazing product with a ton of use cases other than gaming

I feel like it's important to mention button mapping has improved a lot. Not all of the extra buttons are comfortable to use, but the 3 in the back are pretty good and I've mapped them to stuff like alt-tab and esc with no issue. You also can change the button mapping profile very easily, so I have one for watching movies/videos/whatever. The screen is big enough that you basically get a mini TV in bed. Oh, and don't sleep on that mousewheel and trackpad. They make Windows navigation so much better, and are pretty handy to organise big inventories in games too.

Thank you so much for this follow up video on the Legion Go! I picked up a 1TB Legion Go from BB in 'Fair' condition back in Dec for just over $610 after tax. I was worried that it would be scratched and damaged but it was actually in perfect condition. The BB employee I talked to told me they just marked it as 'Fair' to get it sold and I was happy to keep it at that price. I've been enjoying using it overall but I am excited to try out the recommendations you have mentioned! I also plan to grab the comfort grips and then go from there for some of the other accessories. I'd say that my biggest frustration with it is that sometimes I’ll find that it’s turned on while in it’s case so it’s hot and has wasted battery. I’m sure that’s user error but I would like it if it were easier for me to hit the power button and store it without having to worry if something is going to randomly wake it up in there. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

From what I heard looking at many reviews of these devices, that's a windows 11 issue. It was even doing that when I tried using win11 on the steam deck. From what I read online, putting it in hibernate instead of sleep works better. Supposedly that stops it from turning back on, but the downside is it takes slightly longer to resume.

The extreme lengths you have to go to have interger scaling and/or FSR or stuff like that just makes me appreciate my SteamOS Steam Deck even more. All these things are a single click away and already included. The equalizer to boost the speakers is also native (and you can also use EasyEffects) and everything is 100% free and extremely easy to use. I still don't understand why people complain that Linux is hard to use when Windows requires so much confusing steps, updating drivers, etc.

@usafballer79 9 дней назад

but you are not scaling up to anything significant? In fact your going even lower res - on this device we are talking 800P to 1600P - it should be built in to the LEGO for sure, but let's not oversell what the Steam Deck is doing. It's 800P and maybe can squeeze a few lighter games higher on an external display

@MXL2107 9 дней назад

In addition to the “power savin g” there’s also “Quite Mode” in the bios menu. Spelling isnt a dealbreaker but does show lack of attention to detail in one area that could mean issues in another. I will say the LeGo is the best all around device. Need a tablet? Joy cons? Giant kickstand? Built in track pad and optical mouse? Portrait play? All there. Not as comfortable as Steam Deck or Ally, not as polished, but I bought the thing for emulating EVERYTHING (DS and WiiU included) and that it does very well.

@tygeta9851 День назад

I absolutely love my LeGo . Even though i primarily got it for gaming, what sold me on it was the fact that you can't really find a tablet running full windows , with the specs that it has without spending $1000+ bux. Excellent portable tool for using blender and other 3d art applications. I was going to get a waccom graphics tablet but was going to pay no less than $1000 for it.

I actually use my XReal 2 Pro glasses with it as well and a small pockect size foldable keyboard, and i am set. I also have an Anker portable charger (basically a portable power station) that i leave in my car and because the Legion go had the firmware update where the battery charges fast while playing and im getting around 6 hours of play with my hook up, its just no comparison. Ive also since, gotten rid of steam deck, asus ally AND my ps5, there is no need for them anymore after the legion go.

Idk if you seen Gamers Nexus most recent videos on Asus Rog Ally repair policies, but it’s just disgusting. I would now buy any handheld except the Rog Ally

@pobbityboppity1110 10 дней назад

I remain curious about their products from a competition standpoint (how do they push the handheld market forward), but yeah I’d never buy one myself I had to do a Steam Deck RMA and while it took a long time, I had zero issues with Valve. Nowhere close to the Asus headaches everyone reports.

@MizzahTee 11 дней назад

I LOVE my Legion Go! I’ve had a Steam Deck from nearly the beginning and I bought a Steam Deck OLED limited edition last year and I barely play it. I mostly take my LG with me when I leave the house.

@tappersreviews4677 11 дней назад

I have SD OLED LE and love it, but I do like a lot of things about the Legion Go. How would you compare the screens? After the SD OLED I’m not sure I could go back to an LCD. If someday a Legion Go 2 gets an OLED then wow.

@MizzahTee 11 дней назад

@@tappersreviews4677 obviously the LG is lcd but man it’s an amazing one. Way better than the one used in the SD lcd. It very comparable to an OLED though you will see edge backlighting on darker scenes but not much. The screens size is also a head turner. Is big, vibrant, and sharp! It really is nice. I reviewed and compared them on my channel (shameless plug lol)

@edj9013 11 дней назад

The Legion Go takes a lot of tweaking to get it to where you need it but after that it's awesome. The screen and power make it my favorite handheld over the SD OLED. Those comfortgrips are a must have for this device

@hey01e5 11 дней назад

the biggest appeal for me is the detachable controllers. with that feature, it can be used as a windows tablet for casual media consumption, or a laptop with a bluetooth keyboard. sure, an actual surface tablet might be better, but they are more expensive and are usually bigger despite being thinner. the legion go seems like the perfect all in one device for me.

@02stampede 7 дней назад

I've had the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and now the Legion GO. I must say that the Go has been my favorite so far because of the larger screen. I always felt the SD and Ally screens were too small for most PC games. I wish someone would incorporate all the best features from each device into one. I understand handheld PC's are still in their infancy. But I can imagine what we will be seeing 10 years from now.

Lossless Scaling is such a gamechanger for me. I'm using it not only on my ROG Ally for smooth 120 FPS gameplay, but also on my desktop to get close to 240 FPS on games! Great that it works with any kind of GPU too. It's kind of a miracle app - all for the low, low price of $7!

@Nocturn3 11 дней назад

The Egpu wiping Z1 video drivers can actually be fixed by installing the drivers for the 7840u drivers. That way you can keep the egpu drivers but also have drivers for handheld mode. Takes some light wizardry to setup but it's pretty easy. There are a few guides to the process on youtube.

@wrdlbrumfd 10 дней назад

thanks for the great overview! I agree with most of these things... and I can also happily say that I also have a great time with this device. One question though: can you comment on how tools like lossless scaling behaves when you change your setup from handheld to docked? I have certain games that I only use docked and on my big screen - so my assumption is that it would not do anything if it is not specifically started up, right? (lossless scaling I mean)

@stoneguard 11 дней назад

I've got one, had it for a few months. I like it, but don't love it. I really do like the beauty of a screen, it allows me to play some games on the go that I otherwise wouldn't try. However, It's kind of a process getting it out to play, putting it in desktop mode, connecting power, doing all the things I need to do to counteract the weight, that I rarely do. I'm waiting on a GPD win mini 2024, which I think will fit my needs better.

@NasihSaifullah 11 дней назад

@soiltek2015 9 дней назад

@eycHC22 11 дней назад

Thank you. I feel that the LLG gets pushed to the back of discussions with focus only on Valve and ASUS. They all have positives and negatives, and different folks will find each one rheir ideal. The Go is that device for me, controller size, screen size, battery, balance, etc. Don't need to knock other portable Consoles/PCs because you prefer one over the other, all are great options.

@kdubspencer3390 11 дней назад

Official Lenovo accessories are coming in the summer , legion space ui overhaul coming and then the drivers I believe is coming in the next week or so . Ive enjoyed my legion go because its like a swiss army knife but i use the loki max with bazzite os for quick in bed gaming due to bazzite and the lighter weight of the loki max .

@aru3 11 дней назад

You should try BazziteOS on the Legion Go, it's feature-complete vs the Steam Deck LCD. Steam input back button remapping, gyro, TDP control, etc, is all there with a few decky plugins. Suspend-resume works flawlessly, it basically feels like a Steam Deck with detachable controls.

Have owned the LeGo since launch. Handheld Companion is the one and only reason I havent returned this device. When people ask me what I think of it now I always say that it is my favorite piece of gaming hardware that I own, but I also wouldn't recommend it to another single living person over a steam deck OLED.

@the_bogeyman. 11 дней назад

I am curious...why wouldn't you recommend the LeGo over a steam deck oled, if the LeGo is your fav gaming hardware? Do you own both?

@BlueCollaredGrit 11 дней назад

Legos are fun

@DrewCarrier 10 дней назад

@@the_bogeyman. I do own both (not an OLED, a launch day 512gb LCD though) and mainly because of the need to go through a lot of effort and frustration to set up basic UX features on the Go that were there on Deck on day one or soon after. The gyro control software through Space, for example, is NOWHERE near as good as a community-driven tool such as handheld companion provides, much less Valve's in SteamOS. you'd think the company making the hardware would be better at harnessing capability of said hardware than the community.

@Tonno7 10 дней назад

Great video Russ! 6 months without driver updates is just insane by my perspective. I feel like Valve cares much more about the Steam Deck. I continously see software improvements coming for the deck and the feeling is that the deck is going to be supported for much longer than these windows handhelds. So in the end I'm quite happy I chose the deck oled over the go.

yeah, I have pretty big hands and had gotten sick of handling my Odin 2 after like 3 weeks with it because it was so uncomfortable. anything involving the right analog stick or the d-pad was a massive pain. but I found 3D print files for grips on etsy for like $5 and was able to print them at my university for free. now it's almost as comfortable as a normal controller (though using the right stick is still not a great experience for me)
