Many "reviewers" are usually paid to say good things and gloss over the bad. This guy seems more legit than 95% of them, though I'm sure he'll have to buy his own for review in future instead of having them sent for free before retail launch from many of those companies who pay for positive exposure.

@zhezhou2754 8 месяцев назад

This is great. However in the next in-depth review video, we need The Phawx to provide some insights into the speakers, and screen tearing w/o VRR. Personally I haven't experienced any tearing on the Go, as an existing rog ally user. However as a lot of people mentioned, the speakers on Legion Go suck. This is the main reason that I haven't decided to keep the Legion Go but not the ally.

@FoxbatStargazer 8 месяцев назад

Vsync solves screen tearing, that’s not the main reason for VRR. VRR gives you maximum smoothness at an unstable framerate. Non-VRR makes frame fluctations far more noticible, which is why devs shoot for caps like 30, 60 etc.

@user-xp5ux3bs8v 8 месяцев назад

@@FoxbatStargazer I think you are wrong. Vsync solves screen tearing but in doing so it adds latency, especially with triple buffering and also produces inconsistency in the frequency with which frames are displayed (we can also call it a lack of smoothness) especially with double buffering. VRR, nothing more and nothing less, solves the tearing problem without adding these problems. Which is very good but does not help with the lack of smoothness produced for other reasons. With displays with a high refresh rate, as is the case, using Vsync and triplebuffering (or render ahead) adds little latency and is constant. The frequency at which the frames are displayed, at least for its part, is also regular so the final result subjectively should be very close to VRR. The problem is that refreshing the screen at 144Hz wastes somewhat more power than doing it at 60Hz.

@nanamin7298 6 месяцев назад

for speaker just use software to fix it like dolby atmos or fxsound

@ThePawx the problem about the resolution is NOT ABOUT NOT HAVING A LANDSCAPE PANEL, it's due to improper/missing edid information! This is like the old times, with the 16:10 screens (1680x1050) or exactly the same as with the steamdeck in windows: As there are no proper 16:9 resolutions added to the EDID information of the screen (and probably in drivers too), any old game (or with an old/strange engine, like visual novels) will crash, display rubbish or show a black screen. It's exactly the same thing that happened to me with the SD in windows. The same thing: LACK OF RESOLUTIONS ON THE PANEL. It should have all 16:9 and 5:4, simply for compatibility, showing black bands. Lenovo... those guys are just idiots.

Hell, Lenovo themselves should just sell these separately (with a dock to charge them without needing the full handheld), presumably since they work wirelessly it's just Bluetooth or essentially a USB dongle built in (like a Logitech Unifying receiver) so it likely wouldn't be that hard to package it separately as long as they made an alternative way to charge them.

It never fails to crack me up how graphics driver support for these devices is better in Linux-I just checked, and Phoronix reports the Z1E on the Ally working fine in Mesa 23.0 (amdgpu or RADV), which means most Linux distros will work out of the box

Thanks for such an indepth video. Very informative. I ended up ordering the Lenovo Go after seing your video. I'm trying to deicde what egpu solution to go with. Maybe you can help narrow down my decision, and probably help out others who are in the same boat? Is the driver problems with using AMD egpu still a an issue? I know amd GPUs are a little cheaper priced then Nvidia, but im leaning towards Nvidia aince AMD doesnt handle ray tracing very well. The GDP G1 is extremely expensive to buy in canada. It is also a laptop based gpu so doesnt perform as well as a desk top one right? With that has my baseline information, this is what im thinking and need help narrowing down please. Im thinking of going with a razor core x egpu and a rtx 3080ti. (Both available used locally. ) would cost me 400$less then a GDP G1. Would give me ray tracing and play cyberpunk 2077 at high settings. Would that set up provide more fps at higher settings? I did also find a 2060, and 3070 for substantially lower price used. Im lastly questioning the gpu's ability to perform with the usbc constraints . I don't want to be installing a Lamborghini engine in a pinto! If you could help me with this information, I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks
