I just ordered my Legion Go for my birthday today. And i have been watching a lot of videos to be ready to set it up. This is by far the best out here. Liked and subbed! :D
Holy hell, I thought this would be a video showing everything I already knew, but I found about 8 things I had no idea of. Subbed for the great info :)
Thank you so much for the video. My swap went flawlessly and took less than 15 min. I didn’t use a dock nor did I remove the battery cable. Used a 2tb 2242 Corsair.
Really good video. Got a Legion Go from a pawn shop as bit of an impulse buy and this is just what I was looking for - Handheld PCs are great but the setup can be overwhelming, this made everything breezy for me and I learned a lot of stuff I wasn’t aware of!
This is a very good video, no jokes to waste tine, no needless cut scenes and you taught me how to use 2 player mode to play nintendo games. Thanks bud
I never subscribe someone at the first video. But this video is amazing! Full of tips, more than any where or any group I've been! Thanks brother!!!! SUBSCRIBED
I just got my Lenovo Legion Go Jan. 25, 2024 and after setting it up I've been looking for informative videos about how to get the best experience out of my Lenovo Legion Go. Great Video, It was super informative and I just subscribed because of this video.
Yo brother man, I know this is awhile after you posted. But this shit was a big help, got this for my younger brother and he said it was laggy and running slow. Turns out all I needed was to download the update. I really appreciate you 🙏🙏
excellent video, updating of drivers and bios are very well explained unlike in other videos. could you also make same for rog ally, it's currently projected so complicated to download and how to graphics and bios part. Most people get so confused and they don't update or dont buy the device itself.
God dammit THANK YOU !!!!!! You solved many issues i had with the legion The informations you provided are essential for a smooth use i didn't knew the controller's could be used separately other reviews says it doesn't work Really thank you now i enjoy my legion ^~^
That is awesome!!!! I take finding out the little details about a device seriously, so I’m glad you enjoyed it! Edit: there is a dinput mode that would work as a generic gamepad too! It’s legion button and Y I think, but its use case is much more limited.
@@HandheldHardware oh that is nice and yeah the use is limited but nice in this specific use It is really awesome how versatile the LeGo is Thank you for this edit I really appreciate the effort you put in your vids The sub is really earned ^~^
@@HandheldHardware shooooot. I’ve been playing so much things on this bad boi final fantasy 7 remake, palworld, Spider-Man miles morales, days gone, halo infinite, super Mario rpg (nso) to Sonic adventure.

I just bought Legion go this week. Any tips to make this run smooth? I have come from a console and need to get use to it otherwise I will be selling it. The battery is draining fast and I need to know how to install and update drivers. Also which are the best free pc games to download? Wish somebody would just do a basic run through of best settings for beginners on handheld and pc gaming. Such as optimised performance and enjoying the experience of playing games!
The one on the website? Yeah, I took this video a while ago so there is a January one out. They are also working on the fluid frame driver too so we should have another at some point soon
Don’t forget to tell people if they dont want the keyboard to pop up when pressing the L stick to go to steam and controller template and pick gamepad I had issue while playing a game and clicking it would bring the keyboard
Are you referring to the website? If so the website has some drop down thing which makes it look like there is two rows with drivers but it’s really just the one
Has the battery life improved since launch? The last time i used one it was drawing nearly 8 watts average while idle; which is insane for such a small device. For reference a 15.6" samsung galaxy book 2 pro with an oled display and an intel 12th gen cpu sips 4 watts average at idle.
Hi I’m trying to download the drivers manual and when I try to open the file it says the app you’re trying to install isn’t a Microsoft verified app 🤷♂️
Oh yeah I’ve run into that before, hang on I’ll post you a guide to fix that, it’s some security setting that makes you only able to download apps from Microsoft store
I’m disappointed there’s no quick screenshot while playing a game. Don’t understand how to bring Xbox Bar up like on PC. And my Xbox controller has a snapshot button. 😢
legion go should come out with a protection for the controller when they are detach kind like switch where you can slide something to cover. Hopefully someone comes out with it
Power saving, I know it’s counter intuitive but it means more power to CPU and gpu! I run a modified power saving plan on mine that shaves off a little more power usage while maximizing fps
Is there a way to disable the L legion button launching/switching to legion space but still retain the shortcut key on the R legion button? I want to primarily use steam big picture mode however I like the integrated shortcut menu.
I'm loving my new legion go but there is one problem that I have to return it because of the right controller light suddenly broke after 3 days. I was hopeful it can be fix with simple recalibration but unfortunately its hardware defect which I read from other users via Reddit too.
@@jesth7335 doesn’t sound good! Lenovo customer support should be able to help you out quick, I’ve heard great stories about replacement controllers getting sent out
@@HandheldHardware Thank you! That’s expensive. Can I just plug some type of HDMI cable directly in and call it good? I appreciate you. I’m completely new to Windows and PC. I just want to play Palia with better graphics than my Switch. Plus now I will be able to check out all the new PC games that people always play

Good day; enjoying your video. Just got the legion go and I’ve been trying to follow step by step to get mines going. I noticed you went directly to the legions website to download the drivers. I’m noticing i can download the drivers directly from the legion app in the GO. Is this the updated way to download the drivers? It’s June 3rd as i text this message, is the drivers in the legion go app the most updated drivers? Looking forward to your reply🙏🏾
@HandheldHardware Thank you for the quick reply appreciate it. Are these drivers the same as the AMD drivers I keep seeing everyone talk about on the fb group? Or are these a different type of drivers? Also do I have to worry about the performance settings in Legion space if I keep the Go plugged in all the time? Again I appreciate the replies thanks
@@selectaguru these are the drivers Lenovo puts out based on AMD drivers. The Z1 extreme drivers need to be published by the manufacturer, but it’s possible to use the laptop version of the driver by side loading. You don’t need to do this though unless you have niche use cases. You can keep the tdp high if you are going to keep it plugged in.
