The Lenovo Legion go is the latest handheld gaming PC to hit the streets, the new hotness, and on paper it has a lot going for it. It has a beautiful giant high refresh screen, a super powerful apu to make those games look good, and run good, a big battery, not to mention some very… unique… control options.

With a mod to go to 3TB of storage, it carries my roms and emulators, my music, and all my steam games and files. The screen is fantastic. And it's a PC. And you can just use a controller. Great for travel and downtime in the car or airplane. Ear buds are your friend since it has a real jack or BT. For what you get it's high value.

@oliverherrada 7 месяцев назад

I have been playing with both ROG Ally and the Legion Go; ROG has a slight better performance and a killer sound quality, but in my case I returned the Allly and kept the Legion just because of that screen size, is just gorgeous, I enjoyed it so much while playing Tomb Raider, Doom and COD. So I took a hit on the audio and a little bit in the performance (not much...) but Im very happy with the immersive experience the screen provides. BTW, VRR is not there on the Legion but believe me, just us geeks can see the difference, the regular Joe go even notice it. So depending in what you enjoy the most you wont go wrong with any of these handhelds.

@maozuka8808 7 месяцев назад

As the device release is still in its infancy, give Lenovo abit of time to drop some updates to improve its capabilities. I agree that for sound, at stock/ootb, it loses out to ROG Ally, but the community has quickly found workarounds to improve the sound output. Performance wise, its really up to the individual, for me, if I am not really looking at the fps counter, the difference in experience between both devices is negligible.

@vergeofwill 7 месяцев назад

On the performance side of things, this will get way better. Rog ally had the same problems on release.

@jrno93 6 месяцев назад

The performance boost on the ally is because of the resolution. It's lower. Technically it's the same chip just running at different resolution

@T.A.Dragunity 7 месяцев назад

I feel like we need somewhat of a love child between the Legion Go and GPD WIN 4/Aya Neo Slide. Something where we can have mouse and keyboard out the box, have some VR connectivity with the detatchable controllers. More or less an All-in-One design. I feel like they could make a controller hookup where we could have a standard game controller on one hand and flip it around and reattatch the contollers into a mouse (funky as it may be). I feel like if a company makes a system like this, it should end up being a strong competitor against even the updated steam deck.

@16bitsorhigher 7 месяцев назад

I was waiting for this unit to come out and I was actually at Best Buy on release date hoping they had one to buy but they didn’t and I’m actually happy I didn’t order it. I’m not a PC gamer so I actually wanted for emulation because of the big screen but I recently just bought a mini PC with a Ryzen 7 and windows has a lot of issues running emulator. I’m sure it’s because I’m not taking the time to adjust the settings properly but I don’t want to go through that on a handheld PC that’s almost $800. Now you have convinced me that I made a better decision going for an Odin 2.

I made my choice on the Legion Go the day I played with one in store , I had my ROG ally with me, still within return time lol)returned the Ally, and bought the Open Box Legion Go they had in stock, took it home, it updated, and has been great since. personally I find it very comfortable in hand, the fan noise isnt noticable to me, even detached the controllers fit my hands right (switch joycons feel to small to me, and I have small hands) and while a 1440 screen is overkill here, its beautiful when watching movies. and you can always drop it to 1980x1200 or 1280x800. and a lot of the time on battery I just drop the refresh to 60. now mind you I never tried the original software the Go came with so maybe it was bad in the begining. but like all the others, the software improved over time

With the added fact that the OLED Steam Deck just got released where they focused more on the longevity of gameplay sessions i.e. better battery life, better thermals and all while keeping the price to be as affordable as possible, the FPS Mode gimmick just doesn't hold up to be a real system seller, y'know?

can it be used like a console hooked to TV via HDMI while you sit on the couch and play with the detachable controllers ? I am surprised that this is not shown in all the reviews i watched..as this would be a nice feature for the average consumer. I also think you underestimate the versatility of this device as you focused on the handheld gaming aspect only. But this device can be a pretty cool "all-in-one" device for someone who wants to have something that can be used as a mini pc for the office / travel with windows, as a tablet with android apps, as a gaming handheld, and as a console that can be connected to TV(?) for couch gaming with the detachable controls. Seems pretty cool to me and i can't think of other device that try to do all this at once (are there any?). The other devices you mention like the steamdeck can't do that.

@TechDweeb 7 месяцев назад

Yup! You can definitely plug this into your TV and use the controllers on the couch. I guess we don't mention it because it's a pretty obvious thing, but you're right, it probably should get mentioned more often. The steam deck can do that, except for the detachable controllers, you'd need an extra controller for couch mode.

I like the ally but if stick drift begins which happens alot these days you will have to get ready to repair by taking it apart. i like the legion because if they beging to drift i can replace them quickly this is only a problem if you plan on owning it for a couple of years.

Crowded space? I count 3 real contenders and a handful of $1000+ devices no one buys. But being overly picky aside, it is a shame this one missed the mark. The lack of trackpads on the Ally are what killed it for me. The customization the Steam Deck offers is still the best thing about it in my opinion (and there's a lot to like, but bla bla bla don't need me singing its praises) Also, why are they putting super high res screens on handhelds? The Steam Deck's 800p screen is solid overall. I can see an argument for 1080p, but 1600p!?!?!? No. That is a stupid waste of resources that serves only to make the handheld worse via bad battery life. What game is even going to hit that target? This is an issue with phone makers as well. Sticking high resolution displays into devices that don't need them. We hit diminishing returns with phone screens back in... mid 2010? But whatever. Lenovo is allowed to waste their R&D budget on pointless features.

Depends on your use case and what you using it for. For me It's more about being able to relax on the ouch plugged in playing some games.

@TechDweeb 7 месяцев назад

If you need the handheld experience, go for the Legion Go. If you want a higher end experience and don't mind playing at a desk, or on the couch with a controller, go for the PC. I would personally choose a much more powerful PC over a handheld.

Possibly. My biggest gripe is the hand feel which can't be updated. Although I hope they sell non-fps-mode joycons, that would be a great 'update' because then it'd be way more comfortable.

Ive had mine for about 4 days now and am loving it. Regardless of fps my main thing i needed was a nice big screen. I have an s23 ultra with a 7" screen and IMO its too small to actuqlly enjoy gaming which is why i couldnt go with a steamdeck or ally.

@TechDweeb 7 месяцев назад

The screen is indeed glorious. If big screen is priority then this is 100% the best device.

Aspect ratio matters a lot bc screens are measured diagonally. 7” on the S23 ultra is not the same as 7” on the deck. The OLED deck also has 7.4” now btw

I don't know why companies are trying to take on the Steam Deck with higher resolution screens. You don't have the battery capacity to support those resolutions -- Valve would have been using those resolutions in the first place were it not for the battery hit.

@Scorptice 7 месяцев назад

the resolution of the screen is actually brilliant because it enables crisp upscaling since it's a multiplier of 800. so for demanding titles you go 1280x800 native and upscale it to the 1600 resolution and it will be a much better result than for instance on the ally.

@TechDweeb 7 месяцев назад

The integer scaling isn't great though. The pixels have blurry edges, I don't think it's working properly here.

@MoondustOverdose 7 месяцев назад

Yeah the interger scaling apparently isn't working properly just yet. There are workarounds to force it to work though.

Why oh why did they have to make it smell like black licorice? Why didn't they just attach Atari 5200 controller onto the sides while they were at it?
