What I have learnt from the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch is it pays to wait for the OLED upgraded model. I'd rather they just started off with an OLED screen in the first place.
i got mine but waiting to open what is the first thing i should do before i start playing drivers to download ect i’m new to this compared to steam deck
@@sharpiesharpie8356 my advice would actually be to touch nothing unless you have problems.

They need to start doing bypass charge for these pc handhelds. Like zte do with their nubia gaming phones. Bypass charge mode would be great for gaming in doors then charge it over night and use it portable on the go before the battery runs out in 90 mins. Pretty poor battery life tbh but thats what you expect with a beefy pc cpu it will drain the hell out of the battery!
I don't understand why he was getting bad performance when pulling out the charger lead. Something is wrong here! I've got the legion go and the same games, and they run much better unplugged! Wonder if he is actually setting it up, all updates etc...
He was playing it at 1600p resolution on battery mode. It hits performance. The same thing happens even with most gaming laptops too unfortunately. The ideal solution here is to carry a 65 watts output powerbank with usb-c output to offset the performance issue.
6:40 It seems just the easily accessible Esport titles hit 144 fps/hz to me. CS2, Valorant, Rocket league and all the games in the Halo Master Chief collection have hit 144 or above so far.
Just purchased one and waiting for it to come to me. I will say. I love your review of this, I love the humor you have also. My biggest worry about the legion go is I’m a Xbox guy with that being said I’m worried I won’t know how to set it up and game.
You'll be ok, just install your preferred game launchers & games, set the power profile to your preferred in the overlay with the top right button (I live on performance mode 😎), then play your games 😊!
The problem is I'm not sure if the games I'm trying to run are actually able to run on this. I tried battlefield 2042 and it was unplayable at 22fps@@hokayson6518
Clearly got inspired, and took the best parts of both, Nintendo switch and Steam deck features and put them into one. But still, not a fan of windows 11. So I got a Steam Deck OLED instead. Not regretting it.
Aren't those glowing rings just wonderful? Their luminous appearance really adds a special charm, giving off a sense of enchantment or futuristic style.
Hi mate, I think we are from the same part of the world. I basically play games like Enshrouded, 7 Days to Die, Aska, Nightingale, and I am looking for a handheld. I love the big screen, would you say the games I play would run ok on this platform? I would basically be using it while visiting my mam back in Newcastle.
You covered almost everything for me I looking at getting one over the next month I currently got a Asus Rog ally I just need to know can this hook up to a monitor via a docking station like the ally
Yes and supposedly supposed to get better performance when plugged in like the rog ally. The only thing is, os that you might want to update the drivers as they need updating apparently. It is a hassle in comparison to the other devices, but the performance looks significant based on a video I watched.
Great, informative and honest review, chap. The higher the specs the greater the drain on the battery as youve demonstrated. For all its faults i think ill stick with me steam deck. Im sure it will be a while before the ultimate portable pc gets released and by then i reckon most folk will be returning to their desktops anyway. Its just a fad, methinks.
I heard nothing but praises about this system and I feel like Asus could learn from this, same with Valve as the device is a power house of a portable pc
Gr8 review Chris. I don't understand why manufacturers are thinking it's best to put panels in these handhelds that are above 800P. I take low resolution but locked 60fps any day. Even when the future next generation of handheld CPU's arrive, they won't be able to run at 1600P. A complete waste of specification and cost IMHO. Regardless of the other flaws that owners rate poorly on Argos etc, the excessive resolution of the screen Lenovo used would stop me picking it. There are many games that it couldn't even run at a locked 30fps at 1600P. But my days of wanting to game at 30FPS are long gone. a missed opportunity I reckon with this handheld.
@@catch82exactly this! It's great having such a sharp image for non-gaming use, & then just running any demanding games at 800p. I'm really glad they went with a higher pixel count screen, I doubt it adds too much to the cost as they're just using one of the screens from their tablet lineup so they probably have a good price on them already.
So what you are telling me, is that it’s not really fit for purpose and in a few years it will be out dated and can’t be upgraded the same as a PC. Great and informative video and love the channel and content.
I own a steam deck and this legion has grown my interest would you say it's worth more than the Ally ? Or is the steam deck enough not to get another handheld ? Anything different besides the gimmicks?
Depends on ur game AAA or casual . If you pilled up all ur game in steam and steamos is straightforward like grab out from the box and your ready to go.
Thinking of getting one of these for plane journeys and times when just chilling in the hotel room and obvs chilling at home, can you play offline games on it such as when you’re on a plane or can’t get wi fi?
This I would choose over Rog ally, once you go steam deck trackpads you can’t revert back to joysticks for strategy games, and this mouse hybrid seems better than steam deck‘s trackpad situation.
The Legion Go is the right size,maybe a bit bigger is better. Nobody is putting these devices into the pocket anyway. And if you're carrying it inside your bag, bigger screen estate is better. If you want a pocketable, smartphone size, handheld PC, then even the smallest one Asus Ally is too big for that.
Damn the cat not being included was what i was hoping for now i dont care to get it at all. Kidding got the 1 TB Lenovo. Cat would have been nice tag along the. Cant wait to see what this puppy can do.
had all 3 rog, sd and love the go,the most. have had issue with performance, and changing screen resolution in game, but hoping these will be fixed with updates, especially dead issues on sticks
Love all your content as always; But damn you're ripping on this thing while running 2 relatively poorly optimized brand new AAA games my guy. Run some moderate or slightly old AAA games to really show off its features!
i just order this thing the main reason it was for that big display i wanted to buy rog ally but the sd problem push me away i hope i made the right choice
Real quick, could you share the exact measurements of the kick stand. I want to see if I can attach an external battery to it with velcro. I don’t care much about the weight since I will be playing mostly with the remotes off. I am sure I am not the only one. Maybe food for thought for a video. Thanks in advance for the measurements.
@@munirabdalla thanks I already had a steam deck but mostly played gta5 and now as they have removed access to play GTA online on linux I am thinking of switching to rog ally or Lenovo legion. The price doesn't matter to me but I am 95% sure that I'm going to buy legion go cause of the better screen cause the bezels of ally are just wayyyyyy to big. Ik legion does lose a little bit of fps but I would rather have a better screen with 4-5 less fps then a tiny screen with 4-5 more fps
This review is actually honest. I tried one for two days and returned it. Its loud, has horrible gpu performance, windows 11 sucks on this format and I have no clue why anyone would pc game on any of these. We have two nintendo switches in the house so its not like I am new to this format either.
one of the thing that i like with steam deck is replacement parts.. these handhelds needs replacement parts and thats why I am out, sure you can find another controller but how long before lenovo changes the model and switch to another type..
Community support at its finest.. and bunch of third party accessories. Specially dbrand nad jsaux.. what i like with SD if u accidentally break a parts or burn in OLED in the future the ifixit is always your be ur handyman Valve is like sony They will not release next gen console unless they see any significant performance improvement from there current unit.. so ur hard working cash will be not easily gone every year.. because of each year upgrade ..
How is the screen on this thing? Like compared to an oled on the switch or steam deck. Is this thing worth it if your someone who loves oled screens? I’m torn please help
The problem is it's so loud the fan in this it's c azy how loud it is so if your not on headphones it may drive you crazy, I would definitely recommend the steam deck oled unless you want windows
Absolutely amazing device and the detachable controllers are a big plus! This thing handles my architecture/3d modeling work with ease! I highly recommend it! 💯
So they just basically build it and throw it inside of a box?!? I just returned mine, i thought they gave me a used or refurbished one. My S24 & Watch 6 i had to peel off temporary screen protector. 😂
I have one of these and a Steam Deck... and the Steam os is boss imo for handhelds but Big Screen on the Go is a good balance... love it! anyone want to buy a Steam Deck?! :D The ergonomics are crap though (I have big hand too) and the FPS mode doesn't feel any better tbh but x-box controller sorts that out.. The screen is a blessing and a curse - 800p is the best you'll get unplugged.
Does anyone know if there is ANY way to limit the charging to 80% or similar?! If I plug it in to use it with a eGPU or at home with a charger, if it stays at >95% it will kill the battery quickly. Most phones and devices allow to limit from 50-80% not to damage the battery if we use it plugged in…
Have a question for ppl, I don’t know what I should get the go or quest 3? I know they both totally different type of devices and somewhat do different things.
I really want to copp one for the size and hertz but i have a steam deck and buying it for fortnite is not worth it. This is why i brought the steam deck, then realised i couldn't even play, dont regret it, and i can play on my Samsung tab s8 plus, but i miss gyro from the Nintendo switch days
I have both and the only thing better on the go is the screen size everything else sucks Dpad is better on the ally Speakers Vrr Weight Confort Armory crate Button layout Smooth operation Dual quiet fans performance at 15/18w 900p Pretty much everything is better on the ally specially the price.
this thing is the same price of a capable 1440p computer if you shop around for parts and build it yourself. and for 90 mins of battery? defeats the whole point.
Can you play your desktop pc in your hands while watching your kid? Or in the car? Or camping? Are you going to bring an entire desktop to a Lan party in 2023 or a handheld? There's plenty of uses
@@Amnias117 tbh if u make a micro-itx case its not hard to put in a backpack...with a small keyboard and wireless mouse, find a tv there to hookup.... much better
Can you play the desktop in camping or while outdoor? .. or laying in ur bed before going to sleep.. at that price point you pay for the portability for ur games to play anywhere even in toilet lol..
I love it to death but i have two major issues. The first is that whatever the right trigger is functioned to do based on the game ends up happening even though i didnt press it. It happens the most on shooters which is infuriating. The second is that shutting the screen off and then turning it back on will cause fhe screen to lock itself on a black screen and i have to turn it on and off multiple times to get it to work again. Fix these two issues and we'll be good.
Only 512gb in the uk is shite and yes, I know you can buy an sd card and upgrade the ssd, but this method is not as easy as on the rog Ally. I ended up sending my Lego back to argos after 3 days as it just isn't very portable. Emulation will be crap on this, as well as the screen is too big and the d pad is bollocks. Traded in my rog Ally to put the money towards an aokzoe a1 pro and I have to say I am happy. The 8-inch screen is just the right size it also has 32gb ram. It's great for Emulation with the 16:10 ratio, and the dpad is great. Yes, I know the customer service is none existed, but I got my handheld from CEX in the uk. The handheld was a grade A, and it comes with a 2 year warranty so if it was to break or whatever then I can get it replaced and if they have none in stock then I can get a refund or swap it for another item for the same price. The Aokzoe cost me £850 which is expensive, but it just feels more comfortable. Oh, and it has decent battery just to top off a great handheld.........go on said something I know you want too?????? 😅😅😅😅
Doom crashed on you because RT is automatically turned on. Had the same thing. Without RT it can handle 1600p medium settings around 55fps. Of course lowering the resolution you can set the settings to whatever you prefer.

from Ghana, definetly saving for this
Since it has two ports, it would be nice if you could "double-charge" it twice as fast.

Community support at its finest.. and bunch of third party accessories. Specially dbrand nad jsaux.. what i like with SD if u accidentally break a parts or burn in OLED in the future the ifixit is always your be ur handyman
Valve is like sony
They will not release next gen console unless they see any significant performance improvement from there current unit.. so ur hard working cash will be not easily gone every year.. because of each year upgrade ..
You have a really cute cat
can we play co op split screen games on this and put it on tv ?
How much do I need to charge it through a Powerbank
hey drunk uncle.. is it chicken brand?.. 😂😂
about to buy lenove legion go but there no cat not included
i change my mind
Dang I just said the same thing without seeing your comment. Got mine today can't wait to try it out.
Can you play PC only games with this?
Hehe, funny and accurate review 😂👍
Very good a dedicated device for game lovers how much pounds
How is the screen on this thing? Like compared to an oled on the switch or steam deck. Is this thing worth it if your someone who loves oled screens? I’m torn please help
Sounds like it needs some updates to fix those issues.
I'll wait a bit myself
I cannot understand how respectable companies sell these beta products (all portable windows consoles included) as a finished product.
The problem is it's so loud the fan in this it's c azy how loud it is so if your not on headphones it may drive you crazy, I would definitely recommend the steam deck oled unless you want windows
Can it run games that were made way before windows 11? Like madden 08? Had issues playing on my PC (windows 10 and 11)
You think this graphic will last about 2 or 3 years?
Absolutely amazing device and the detachable controllers are a big plus! This thing handles my architecture/3d modeling work with ease! I highly recommend it! 💯
Just got mine 2 days ago. 3 crashes and I’ve got less than a half hour of playtime out of it.
So they just basically build it and throw it inside of a box?!? I just returned mine, i thought they gave me a used or refurbished one. My S24 & Watch 6 i had to peel off temporary screen protector. 😂
I have one of these and a Steam Deck... and the Steam os is boss imo for handhelds but Big Screen on the Go is a good balance... love it! anyone want to buy a Steam Deck?! :D
The ergonomics are crap though (I have big hand too) and the FPS mode doesn't feel any better tbh but x-box controller sorts that out..
The screen is a blessing and a curse - 800p is the best you'll get unplugged.
Does anyone know if there is ANY way to limit the charging to 80% or similar?! If I plug it in to use it with a eGPU or at home with a charger, if it stays at >95% it will kill the battery quickly. Most phones and devices allow to limit from 50-80% not to damage the battery if we use it plugged in…
Could you connect. Mouse a keyboard if you wanted ?
Yes either through usb or Bluetooth or possibly even wifi whichever you prefer
Can you have the settings change automatically when unplugged?
Have a question for ppl, I don’t know what I should get the go or quest 3? I know they both totally different type of devices and somewhat do different things.
I really want to copp one for the size and hertz but i have a steam deck and buying it for fortnite is not worth it. This is why i brought the steam deck, then realised i couldn't even play, dont regret it, and i can play on my Samsung tab s8 plus, but i miss gyro from the Nintendo switch days
It’s a nice device but for me it’s still gotta be the Steam Deck, no Windows on it!
I generally play need for speed and forza so in summary, I cant olay it without it being plugged in?
What I am afraid of OLED screen on PC Handheld is too much static images that can cause burn in
It's no different then a OLED monitor or a phone screen
Same if u using an amoled phone ..
Not just flat surface for FPS. But it would absolutely awkward for left handed people haha
Can I play Forspoken and Miles Morales Spiderman on it?
I was literally going to buy one of these to use al9ngside my steam deck oled until them words came out "LCD panel"......
i suggest installing playnite ..mucg cleaner interface
Nice review but about Lenovo legion i must say its a disappointment. ROG ALLY seems to be better option
But still i love yours rewiew. Nice job
Najgorsza recenzja, która nie jest świetna
I have both and the only thing better on the go is the screen size everything else sucks
Dpad is better on the ally
Speakers
Vrr
Weight
Confort
Armory crate
Button layout
Smooth operation
Dual quiet fans
performance at 15/18w 900p
Pretty much everything is better on the ally specially the price.
how? It’s not even a handheld
@@somerandomhuman8405I agree 100%
Nannnnhhh I owned both, after I experienced the Legion Go, the Ally was up on EBay.
this thing is the same price of a capable 1440p computer if you shop around for parts and build it yourself. and for 90 mins of battery? defeats the whole point.
Can you play your desktop pc in your hands while watching your kid? Or in the car? Or camping? Are you going to bring an entire desktop to a Lan party in 2023 or a handheld? There's plenty of uses
@@Amnias117 tbh if u make a micro-itx case its not hard to put in a backpack...with a small keyboard and wireless mouse, find a tv there to hookup.... much better
@@LiviuXSA fair enough.
Selling my matx PC because I need something smaller for the sitting room.
Can you play the desktop in camping or while outdoor? .. or laying in ur bed before going to sleep.. at that price point you pay for the portability for ur games to play anywhere even in toilet lol..
I love it to death but i have two major issues. The first is that whatever the right trigger is functioned to do based on the game ends up happening even though i didnt press it. It happens the most on shooters which is infuriating. The second is that shutting the screen off and then turning it back on will cause fhe screen to lock itself on a black screen and i have to turn it on and off multiple times to get it to work again. Fix these two issues and we'll be good.
Only 512gb in the uk is shite and yes, I know you can buy an sd card and upgrade the ssd, but this method is not as easy as on the rog Ally. I ended up sending my Lego back to argos after 3 days as it just isn't very portable. Emulation will be crap on this, as well as the screen is too big and the d pad is bollocks. Traded in my rog Ally to put the money towards an aokzoe a1 pro and I have to say I am happy. The 8-inch screen is just the right size it also has 32gb ram. It's great for Emulation with the 16:10 ratio, and the dpad is great. Yes, I know the customer service is none existed, but I got my handheld from CEX in the uk. The handheld was a grade A, and it comes with a 2 year warranty so if it was to break or whatever then I can get it replaced and if they have none in stock then I can get a refund or swap it for another item for the same price. The Aokzoe cost me £850 which is expensive, but it just feels more comfortable. Oh, and it has decent battery just to top off a great handheld.........go on said something I know you want too?????? 😅😅😅😅
Usb 4.1 или usb 4.2?
Doom crashed on you because RT is automatically turned on. Had the same thing. Without RT it can handle 1600p medium settings around 55fps. Of course lowering the resolution you can set the settings to whatever you prefer.
