Just ordered mine! Haven’t been this excited waiting for a package in so long! I was instantly sold upon seeing it on sale, and Maplestory being played on it lol
Very nice review, relaxing to listen to and without the stress of the actual "all the time fast talking" editing stile ;D I got my legion go just some weeks ago and I basicly use it the same way you do. It would be even capable to replace my main PC as I play mainly retro games but well... for now its there... After testing a lot, i just got rid of the AMD center and Legion Space software and replaced it with the handheld companion software. Way more options, faster, less problems and much more possibilitys of configuration. I've added a 5% deadzone to the analog sticks and now they are working very well, maybe that could be interesting for you, too.
@Atarix777 I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed my video 🙏🏿. I'll definitely look into handheld companion. I've been meaning to check it out, I just didn't want to potentially ruin what already works for me.
love the video its actually a really good review after having it for a long time, and the accessories the hub!! i want to buy all of this when i get my legion go to play maplestory!!
I like how you went into talking about accessories and use-cases, rather than the by the numbers run down of features and Benchmarks most reviews rely on. The magnetic sticker is a great idea The hottest thing about the Legion Go are the 2 USBc ports. Makes it more verstile than relying on 1 Dock to do it all. In general it seems like Lenovo RND just threw everything on it from all their departments. FPS mode is a neat idea as a makeshift mouse, but most channels claim it to be a party trick. Guess "Desktop and RTS Mode" doesn't have the same ring to it. I would sacrifce the feature to get another trackpad. Overall I'm more interessted in the 2nd Gen of the Legion Go and what refinements Lenovo will make. Even 3 years after the Steam Deck, Handheld PCs are a new market. ASUS and Lenovo pulled a lot from their Laptop experience, mostly hold back by the bloat of Windows11 and their custom software solutions. And ASUS shit the bed on customer service and needs to build up their reputation that wasn't great in the first place.
I'm also looking forward to the next generation of handheld pcs. Longer battery life and maybe more usb c ports are at the top of my list for things I want.
Amen dude. They coming a father is literally the only reason I got into these handheld PCs. You hit the nail on the head lol Even having them sometimes you're still even just too tired to game on a handheld too tired to game at all lol Great video bro
Maplestory ? One Piece ? Salute my brother. Long time mapler here. However, I have a steam deck. I feel like controls would be eerie. But would have to try myself!
Ordered one should be here in 2 days can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm soooooooo sick and tired of xbox series x bs not finding/connecting to wifi every other week when every other device connects to it fine 😒
How about you make a video comparing it to an iPad Pro? I have a Legion Go and an iPad pro, and I havent touched my iPad pro for a month now because Legion Go is sooo much better in many ways. I think the Legion Go is the true iPad Pro Killer!!!
I also have both and I still use the iPad as my main media consumption device. The iPads speakers, screen quality + size and UI cannot be beat. Maybe if the legion go 2 has better speakers and slightly bigger screen it will be my iPad killer!!
@@OleksiiK21 Im glad you asked. I am an iPad power user (i try to do all things on my iPad, as my main workstation) and I’ve been doing all sorts of things for many many years since the iPad M1 first came out. Unfortunately, it seems that Apple has no plans to do this, so when I got a hand of the Legion Go last month, I realized that the Legion Go (when you don’t have the controllers attached to it), is the device that I wanted the iPad to be: highly portable tablet form factor, full desktop environment with compatibility with printers, monitors, etc., long battery life, with tons of productivity app available to get the job done (in my case I do programming, content creation, web sites, artificial intelligence, robotics, etc.) unfortunately, the iPads greatest weakness is the iPadOS. And this is the biggest advantage of the Legion Go: it is a full Windows 11 desktop, and can transform into a tablet. So it only makes sense to compare the Legion Go is with an iPad Pro because it is a very versatile, and capable handheld PC that can also be used as a gaming device.
great ideo dude new sub here so basically the Lenovo is just a super tablet with asteroids lol defendltey going too get one for christmas by the way those cube world are so much nostalgic lol
Should I wait for the legion 2? My main games I wanna play are call of duty, Valorant,Apex Legends, league of legends, Monster Hunter, Rivals of Aether 1 and 2, Minecraft
If you can wait then ya sure, but I think the Legion Go is still a good buy right now. You can even get it heavily discounted second hand depending on where you live
Hey bro, new viewer thanks to a legendary TH-cam algorithm pull. Not sure if you have a story behind the mark on your finger so please forgive me. But Between my adhd and medicinal degree I’d like to encourage you to get it checked at a dermatologist as it could be Acral Melanoma or …just a mark. Wouldn’t hurt to check. Thanks for a great review, hope you continue to do well.
@cashfather15 I appreciate the view and the concern! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 The mark on my finger was from my camera tripod closing really fast and squishing my finger 😭. My finger is completely healed now though, and there's no sign of that mark at all anymore.
Nice Video, around last November i decided to go for the ROG Ally over the legion and honestly i have no regrets but i do wonder what i missed out on hence catching up with your channel :D....
@kntwing23 you can play fortnite for sure. You can also play xbox games in the xbox app built into Windows through streaming with gamepass or buying the individual games to download. For ps5 games, you can only play them if they are released on steam/xbox/ or any other pc game launcher. Switch games are playable with certain emulators, but those all take time to set up using very specific guides. How well each game runs depends on the game and your settings. Some games require more power than others, and some games don't. You just have to research specific games to see how they run on these handheld pcs. Generally, most games are playable.
I liked that you mentioned you had other handhelds as well.....lol and not just 1 or 2, it sounds you had all the big players.....well except the msi claw....and who is buying those i have no idea....or the ps one.....more sheeple.....lol
@ekafaathirrochman3481 I would recommend the Legion Go because it has more potential for both of those uses. The Legion Go can connect an external gpu using any of its usb c ports, whereas the rog Ally x only has 1 usb 4 port. The legion go has a built-in kick stand, wireless controllers with a trackpad, and one of those controllers can become a full-fledged mouse in a pinch. The gaming performance will be comparable between the two, but they have separate advantages, like the Ally x having a 120hz VRR display, and the Legion go having a bigger 8.8" 144hz QHD+ display. The main advantages of the Ally X are the bigger battery size, the extra ram, and the vrr capability. For purely handheld gaming I would probably recommend the Ally X. For a combination of everything I would go with the Legion Go.
If you buy a go and expect amazing battery life and have a fully portable computer that can play most triple a games you’re insane 3hrs off the charger is pretty decent to play cod then plug it up and continue most trains ,planes or cars have charger ports
how is it when running league of legends? I have a steam deck but valve don't support league anymore, so Im comparing the asus ally to the Lenovo legion go
@triwijadmico6009 I'm assuming you could see similar performance since it does have a bigger battery. People have shown that the steam deck is more efficient at lower tdp levels though, so I could be wrong. You may have to change the screen resolution or set it to 60hz to match the steam decks' efficiency.
@@triwijadmico6009 change the RAM speed to 6500 mtz and you’ll see better lower wattage, performance closer to the 1st gen ROG Ally Z1E, and battery life
That depens and what you do and how you configure the system. In my case, when i play retro stuff it runs about 2.5 to 3 hours, but if you play a AAA title then it will be more about 90 minutes... But as Jamal told, with a powerbank you will be good to go.
@abmamun4155 Yeah, basically what they said above^^. In certain easy to run games, I can push it to around 4 hours, but generally, you're not gonna get more than that for 99% of the games you play on this device.
im in the situation for deciding on an ally x or this... the ally x is much more new and the legion is getting some age. i dont want to have the same situation where i bought the steam deck and then the oled came out like 3 months later. i wonder if there will be a new legion coming out any time soon.
I think the Ally X is a better buy overall with the improved battery life and design. Only go for the Legion Go if you care about the extra features like the removable controllers and the kickstand.
I dont think so. I think the legion go is a little too long to fit in that controller. You could definitely use it as a normal Bluetooth controller, though, or rotated in vertical orientation to play Nintendo Ds emulated games or something.
@@JamaltLee incase you didn't know you can also extend the galileo g8 plus to fit larger tablets I tried this with my galaxy s8 ultra recently but now I know it does work it now I guess we'll see if it fits when I get one in the future
@taolaomialao83 Yeah, it runs full windows, so anything your laptop can do, this can do. Obviously, the screen will be a lot smaller than most laptops, so you gotta work around that.

Full sized MapleStory but on the go, I never thought I'd see the day, but that feels like it'd be a very comfy way to play it
@VerkatosEnsei It's really nice to just play while relaxing on the couch.
Ayo I’m in the military and don’t really wanna move my gaming pc with me. I’m thinking of getting a Legion Go since I also used to play Maple Story!
grandchase, rumble fighter, AND maplestory in the library?! Jesus the memories.

When i saw grand chase on his library made me miss my Rin sm
Miss u rumble fighter
I've had it for about 6 months and I gotta say, it feels like this thing is getting better with time, it's an absolute monster
