The Legion Go Is Way Better Now! Review After 2.5 Months 

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thank you, much appreciated bro!

Amen! That's all I want on my steam deck, a switch oled/surface pro style kickstand

The fact that it not only exists, but is NASA grade build quality solid as f is a real mindblower. Consumer electronics are always such trash in build quality. The Legion feels so solid.

Hey there Compared to the ally does the vrr matter tfor the screen

@@shadowstorm545 not really , the screen on the Go is really good. But it’s all up to what you want !💪🏾

@@shadowstorm545 yea answer

@TheOfficialFusionProduxtions How long does the battery lasts with heavy usage of gaming?

@@shadowstorm545the vrr is nice on the ally but to be honest with the bigger screen and resolution you can get on the Go, you won’t be disappointed

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Yea man it has replaced all my computers

How long does the battery last?

@@starshades478 a couple of hours of play. I'm buying a power pack but I will use it plugged in a lot. The power cable is very long.

So close, keep it going! I hope you enjoy it when you get it.

They will abandon this within a year mark my words. Buy the steam deck instead

​@faristriesgamingtech it's onsale at best buy for 150 off ATM. Just an FYI

​@@Draegon86 but it's not?

@@kevinholland1019I think he means the open box excellent condition is, since that is $636

Thanks, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Do you use any upscaling?

Agreed, 800p with RSR looks pretty good and you get maximum performance. I think 1600p is for specific games like small indies or like entertainment like you said.

@@faristriesgamingtech RSR or Integra Scaling?

@@faristriesgamingtech i can't go under 1200p. once you try the 1200p on this screen, you can't go below anymore lol same with the screen size, i wouldn't go back to my old sd even if i still like it

Truly until asus figures out a way to fix thermal issue without an automatic rma fix I'd go with the go. However with that said, it's similar to the steamdeck as in you will need to be understanding of this being a developer kit in a sense and it WILL be worked on and followed up with at most monthly which is phenomenal in my eyes. And whether or not you may be biased to Linux or windows based systems. I find that windows 10 pro will work better for me than 11 due to its very invasive and hardware stealing software utility towards hardware.

I hope this helps 🙏, have a blessed day!💪🤓

@@Alexander_Bahgheera thank you so much, have a blessed day!!!

@bxprodigy7943 you're most welcome!

Thank you! I think it comes down to preference, you’ll gain some good performance and of course the nice screen, but you will leave behind the console like experience of the Steam Deck. But the Legion Go is a good system at the moment. I’ve gravitate towards my the Legion Go or Ally more often than my Steam Deck because of the performance mainly. Hope this helps!

I came from a steam deck and thought I'd miss it but i absolutely do not. I loved the steam deck when i had it but honestly the bump up in power and being able to just play pretty much any game has been more than worth it. If you are worried about the UI you could always run big picture mode with steam or use a 3rd party launcher like playnite or big box

@@faristriesgamingtech I appreciate the response!! It does make me happy even two months later there has been significant updates

@@bigstv15 Hey! Thanks for giving me your feedback as a previous steam deck owner, using playnite or big screen is a great idea, did you feel the steam deck was more comfortable than the go?

@@mak4370 yes the deck is more comfortable but the go isn't uncomfortable

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing that info, I'll definitely be sure to look into it.

I'm into this awesome piece of kit aswell

I love mine.

It's def a sick device.

That’ll work no problem. I do it with mine and the kickstand is what makes this even better since it’s built in and you have a huge degree of angles to set it as and you don’t have to bring a separate one like the ROG Ally.

​@@Lugiavsgiratinais there a good USBc hub you can recommend for the legion?

Thanks, I’m not sure I haven’t tested that, But I wouldn’t see why not as it’s just a “flip the switch” option. But I can test it when I get home.

It will not work at those resolutions, it has to be a resolution that scales evenly into the native resolution. 800p x 4 = 1600p so thats why it works for 800p. It also has to be in multipes of 4 or more.

I’m glad the second one is working out for yah, it’s truly becoming a really good system.

Thanks I appreciate it, will do. Happy Gaming!

Same here

​@@faristriesgamingtech will the steam deck, legion go, and rog Ally still be around in a few years or more?

@MiracleHall200 I'd say 2 more years and it will be time to move on. For Lenovo. The Allys time has been up a long time ago. Already working on Ally 2

@@garyharris9750 Can you play with 4 people on legion go using ps5 controller (co-op not online)

I KNOW RIGHT?!🤓

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Maybe an hour or little under that since those games are demanding AAA games that require more power to run properly especially at 1080p. Hope this helps!

Sometimes the resolution is a bit tricky, I usually just leave the UI resolution to 1600p and change the in game resolution to 800p. But some games can act a bit weird and you might have to change the UI resolution to 800p for it to register in game. Hope this helps!

@@faristriesgamingtech thank you! I’m having fun trying to iron out the niggly bits lol I’m sure it will all come together eventually just need to wrap my head around what works and what doesn’t. Absolutely loving the legion go however!

@@Eevolved32definitely do as he suggested, because it will be easier to scale once in the actual title😅, it gets a bit finicky sometimes but this product is definitely worth the price and I love that they expressed, just like the lcd steam deck, that this was and is to be looked at as a development tool as well as your potential gaming pc if you’ll work with it.💪🤓

Yes you can

Getting mine on march 10 😊

@@babytheoden9286 hell yeah man it's gonna be a blast. Hope ur experience is great!

@@babytheoden9286 plot twist. Getting it Tuesday

@@Van_Crane wow! Congrats 🎉🎉 I hope I'll get mine sooner

You can run games from any launcher on it I'm sure. Just like any other PC.

The decision is getting harder lol, but I’d still go with the Ally because it still feels more polished but this is subject to change as the Legion Go is getting better and better, Happy Gaming!

Thanks. Il keep an eye out for another update from you soon then. But I do think the ally will remain too. Thank you.

Your Legion Go is going to be a beast! The screen is definitely my favorite part of the Go, like you said it’s wonderful.

Oh nice! Thanks for that color saturation recommendation! I’m new to legion go (coming from rog ally). Also regarding the resolutions he mentioned, does integer scaling work at 720p, 900p and other resolutions? Or just 800p

@@aliawada3553I’d love to know as well!😮

@@faristriesgamingtech Review MSI Claw next?

i did the opposite and set the saturation to 80% and color temp to 5800. I can’t even imagine turning up the saturation on an already oversaturated display.

No, that hasn't happened to me. I would probably contact Lenovo to see if there are any trouble shooting steps for that issue.

you can play cyberpunk 1200p while taking a dump how about that

In my benchmark testing the Legion Go has the slight edge usually within margin of error (5 frames or less). But in some titles it can take the lead by a good bit if they are playing at the same resolution of course. Hope this helps!

I also bought one of the 3d printed connectors for the controllers and I love it. It's great.

Hey! So the latest AMD driver would be the one you have installed which is 28/11/2023, this is the one I have installed as well. Lenovo has their own driver release as well which I believe 7/11/2023 is the latest one. The AMD driver is pretty stable and works just fine for me, so I don’t think you would need to switch to Lenovo’s driver unless you prefer to use theirs. Hope this helps!

@@faristriesgamingtech thanks

Lenovos working on an update to add the option to legion space.

Awesome to hear! Yup you can play Steam Games and other launcher games.

The Joysticks are smaller than regular thumb sticks found on a Xbox controller for example, so making micro adjustments when aiming is little more difficult because there’s less room to do so.

I played multiple AAA titles and honestly speaking, they did a really good job in releasing the heat. I usually get utmost 60 to 70c°

@@haoyangcheong5197 Well thats very nice to hear. It always bothers me when a device heats up too much. Guess im gonna try to catch this one soon! Thanks for the info! 🤗

kinda, never burning hot, just hotter than warm. especially after hours of having plugged in while lying on the couch. Played 8 hours and it was still hotter than warm.

I’m loving the Ally as well and will be doing a long term review of it as well!

@@faristriesgamingtech yeah please do coz im planning to buy but i dont know which one or just waiting for msi claw

@@orczville9258 MSI claw is intel based...I...I would skip that one as ARC gpu is okay, but has way too many driver issues to be used anywhere but a proper gaming pc

I think if you want convenience or a console like experience and you don't mind having less performance the Steam Deck isn't a bad option. However, if you want more performance, access to more games, and a bigger screen with a higher refresh rate the Legion Go would probably be better in that situation.

Yup, you can.

@@faristriesgamingtech Danka !

After the updates it is and beats fps over the alley

Noted, planning on doing a huge benchmark again. Thanks for the feedback!

This one of course, Steam Deck is for depressed turkeys

The Steam Deck OLED. You'll get a more comfortable experience and a better overall package. The Steam Deck has 2 trackpads while the Lenovo only has 1. That's actually a big deal. Not only that but you'll get a better operating system with a better, more console like user interface. You'll even get better battery life. The only downside the OLED has compared to the rest is performance and that's no big deal as long as you're not trying to play the latest, greatest, and most hardware demanding PC titles. I should note that if you want better performance and you go with one of these other handhelds, you'll be limited when you're playing with the device as just a handheld due to the battery life. Get a dock for the other handhelds and all the sudden they become pretty good console replacements. At that point, it just depends on what kind of options you want or how you already play most of your games. But in my opinion, the truth is that all these handheld gaming PC's running Windows sacrifice much and just add noise to the signal. Valve set the standard in the beginning with the Deck and the handheld gaming PC market needs to catch up. It's either that or they're limited by a patent issued by Valve. It's also entirely possible that the market only exists to keep the console industry from going after Valve considering how the Steam Deck is an amazing emulator. It boggles my mind sometimes when I notice, "oh hey I'm playing Halo Reach on the same device that can play Legend of Zelda Windwaker and I can play both of them flawlessly on the exact same controller." Whats more is you can get a lot of storage with the 1TB OLED model with a 1TB SD card. It's nuts how many old games you could fit on there and it's amazing you can get some massive 100GB games on there too.

I'd recommend the Steam Deck Oled for a smooth console like experience

@@TheSniperWho wow that's amazing but I'm really new to handheld gaming and is 90hz fine or not?

@@LOLI911 90hz is already quite sufficient especially for a gaming handheld, I don't see the steam deck actually hitting anything above 60fps on demanding title, but would run well with indie titles.

Hey but the ally rog is beast I have it n I enjoy it 😊

I just installed a 3 tb ssd n I now I could download bunch games on it I've been playing alot off warzone call off duty fortnite on it and rainbow six sige and fifa 24 all games so far I tested haven't had issues 😊

Just tested the fan noise in Forza Horizon 5 without full fan speed, you can definitely hear it, but it kind of drowns out in the background and I forget about it. Now with full fan speed, it gets pretty loud. Hope this helps!
