This is the first time I am watching you, and to be honest, that was a really nice video and setup. Congratulations on your 1K followers! I'm getting more interested in these handhelds, as you said we need to welcome the new tech. Just waiting for Lenovo to release the LEGO in India 😢... It's worth the price, I say, with the case, detachable controls, and the screen, having that option makes me want to grab it more, and Lenovo is making it better and better day by day by pushing the system updates. Kudos to Lenovo for the release! As per me it's the best handheld in the market rn
Aww thank you Siddhant! It really gives me alot of encouragement when I hear you guys find something of value in my content. It has been a long journey so far having to balance a demand work life with family and this as well. I only wish I could produce content more frequently. Hope you find the Leg Go in India soon! Everyone is going to be asking you, what the hell is that.. hehe. Thanks again!
Great review. I have the ROG Ally which I picked up at launch, before the Legion Go was even announced but I love it. I also have a desktop with a RTX 3080 and like you, used to higher-end visuals and performance but surprisingly, I'm completely fine with lowering the settings on my Ally. To fire it up anywhere around the house is so worth the tradeoff in visuals and performance. I'm excited to see how the PC handheld market develops over the next few years. Now my gf wants an Ally but I told her to wait till later this year as there will be even better options available.
Thanks Paulie! Thank you for watching. I have a feeling that Asus must have done a way better job at building an interface for the Ally ( probably using a version of their Armory crate software) compared to "Legion Space" here in the go which is kind of sluggish and feels disconnected from Windows. Btw, do you miss not having a trackpad or scroll wheel on your Ally? How has your user xp been so far? All things aside..Honestly what a time to be a teenager; there are so many options now to get into gaming. And exactly like you said! Somehow games still look pretty decent even on lower settings on a handheld. And yes! The MSI Claw is around the corner which is bringing an intel based SOC. Im excited to see how this market progresses as well. Thanks again for your comment!
@@shijou2867 early reviews of the claw dont seem that promising either.. perhaps there is a next generation waiting for a release around christmas this year. But you may be right.
Oh absolutely. No doubt! this whole new wave and interest in gaming handhelds.. I mean.. we owe it all to the steam deck and its user experience which made it a viable option for new gamers.
The Lenovo Legion Go is a really cool handheld. I wish to get my hands on one someday. I just love how big the screen is and got that Nintendo Switch treatment 😅
Right now i love the Nintendo switch oled because the new system features a vibrant 7-inch OLED screen, a wide adjustable stand, a dock with a wired LAN port, 64 GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio. I would love to won thanks for the opportunity ❤
I love the Legion, previously used a Steam Deck. Immediately unistalled windows and installed ChimeraOS. The user experience is, for me, the most important aspect of gaming on the go.
You said it! The userxp is what that will turn this device from being just a cool gadget to an actual day to day use tech that can become a part of ones life. We owe alot of this emergent interest in handhelds to steamdeck btw. They showed the others how handheld pc gaming is possible.So I DOO hope that Legion and Asus and these other brands pay serious attention to the user experience. Otherwise these devices would just be forgotten as some kind of fad
Congratulations on the subs, and right now my favorite is the Lenovo Go honestly and thanks to your video I chose the Lenovo instead of the Logitech hand held device
Hey Thanks Hovani. The logitech device is something certianly very different to what the Go offers. I am excited for you to get it soon. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences
I love it! That is how it should be. A timeless affair. It is very difficult for some reason to explain to the 'un-initiated' but even when we finish up a good game, its like reading a really good book. Or when you compete in something like starcraft or CoD with a mate, you forge a strong bond.. there is just such a HUUUGE library of experiences at our disposal; something for every occasion and moment. How pc gaming got the image of being this unholy past time for naughty children. I just dont get. There should be a flag and sovereign state for gamers. :P
I have a steam account and I no longer have a pc but when I saw the legion go I was yes!!! I'd be able to play my steam games again but so far my plans are to get one but i can't afford it just yet. I hope to get one soon.
After a ton of reviews read and watched, I'm definitely leaning towards the Legion Go (if I could ever afford it). The huge screen and all the possibilities on a windows 11 handheld has practically sold it to me.
Windows is for sure a game changer, especially for those who are already familiar with pc gaming. And honestly, I think, this is probably the most affordable ways to get into portable pc gaming these days.. you could also get a laptop with a 3050 for a similar price though.. which could be more practical if that helps. Personally I get excited aboit opportunities to get more people involved in pc gaming :)
Though I must say.. having windows is a big win.. BUT.. to have drivers and a chipset in place which creates almost zero compatibility issues with apps/games (atleast from my experience ), is pretty huge. Like steam deck can have compatibility problems with games that are even WITHIN steam. So.. I ran more than 50 games on it.. and all ran flawlessly. It is craaazy
@@kazmiee Windows means more store front ends for me as well as lossless scaling, modding and many others that we just can't do on steam. UMVC3 community edition would be the first thing I'll want to have on my Legion Go
@@ckenni2000 oh yeah. Figher games should look pretty good on this. Though I should warn you, dont expect much from the haptics. They are very so so. Otherwise.. solid.. solid.. SOLID device
That makes my day! Thank you for your encoragement. It means alot! I hope to keep on creating content which is LESS about just sensationalizing a certain device and more about helping viewers decide if it is something they can live with. Though TBH, I have noticed that those who are good at creating excitement, are just more successful youtubers :)
Enjoying the legion go. The legion go w/ a onexgpu has become a docked experience. Tinkered w/ installing 4TB 2280, backplate, repurposed ps5 adhesive grip tape mods. Ready with a power bank for handheld mode. There's helpful calibration/ custom tutorial videos to improve windows and legion go settings. Starting to understand the "janky" reference to windows If only the screen was mini LED or OLED, alternative shaped Legion go true strike( joy cons) and 3rd party grip adhesives were available!
Oh nice! you're really making the best of your device there. I want to get an EGPU and also test it out with this; I have seen a few out there who have gone through this but still need to test it out myself proper. But dang a 2280 in this? must have needed some work to see it all through. An OLED would have certainly been nice; it seems even most laptops are moving to OLEDs now and probably have clearly found a way to minimize burn-in risk . I kept on thinking that Lenovo should also introduce a Microsoft surface type keyboard for this. Would really make the FPS experience come out.
oh niice. You must have seen quite a few games with it already now. Yeah, I thought I could get more battery by lowering the limits, FPS and all but that just seemed quite pedestrian; even I have settled for just being able to plug it in. Somehow I have gathered so many 65W type chargers that I have someone one plugged in every corner of the house :P What kind of games have you been playing on it so far?
I think the legion go caught my eye because its so powerful and unique. I have been wanting to get one but because of the price and it not being released in my country I probably wont be able to get one. Btw Ramadan mubarak.
Ramadan Mubarak to you aswell Mohamed. For sure, the Go is a pretty unique piece of tech. Perhaps a relative or a friend from any of the countries that it is being sold in could get it for you? Hopefully ill soon put out a video about a how a gaming laptop which is cheaper than the Go can actually be a more sensible buy. Perhaps the Go is not all that it is hyped up to be.. but I hope that you somehow get your hands on one! Thank you for watching my content. I appreciate it
I was absolutely surprised by the end user performance; With the steam deck running at 720/800P, the visuals felt pretty compromised and I could figure out the pixelation n all, but here, everything looks and runs amazing and on top of that, you get a full windows license as well. It literally runs everything
@kazmiee YES multiple times! I was just playing Elden Ring on it- It plays it better than my ps4 (yes, It's definitely old now), but in the palm of my hands! Technology has come so far!
@@christianthegrayt sometimes I think I get fascinated so quickly.. but.. I am in my 30s and I have seen tech go having like 6-8 MB ram. Like Megabytez.. and having Dos as the only operating system.. when desktops had a funny TURBO button.. and I used to struggle with fps with the most basic of games.. I mean.. I played NFS Underground2 with like 10-15 fps.. through and through.. and STILL loved it.. and we have SOOOOO much access now.. its.. just.. its been fun witnessing this evolution of tech. :)
Oh hey Thanks Pete! Appreciate you watching my content. That seems to be the trend so far. Tbh, I am surprised that the Go has such a great fan base. Pretty cool. Happy to see tech creating so much excitement. :)
Best handheld gaming pc ever to date. Awesome video, HOWEVER I need to pont out a mistake in your video. You stated that the Legion Go has AMD RDNA2 Graphics. This is incorrect. It's got RDNA3. Otherwise great video,
Hahaha. Oh man, I have gotten that comment so many times now. Youre absolutely right. I dont know why I got confused. But thank you for pointing that out and thank you for your kind words. I am going to put out a comparison between the Go and a similarly priced gaming laptop. The Lenovo LoQ. Hope you continue to find value in my content.
Waiting can also be a good play here; Especially since the competition has gotten so fierce, there are crazy discounts all around on these things. Any chance you are interested in the MSI Claw?
Legion Go fo sho homie! Warming up the SSD by running it for a bit should loosen up the sticker. Not sure if it's worth swapping it over tho. You got the Go at the PERFECT time. There aren't too many more QoL changes needed, no major bugs, and the Linux community has had enough time to drop excellent OS options. Got a 4TB SSD on mine and will be doing 1TB for Windows with the rest for other distros and VMs. It's a great Swiss army knife for gamers, IT/tech, and cyber professionals. So good I rarely use my ThinkPad or main rig anymore
Heyy, Thank you for your comment! Perhaps a good idea to warm up the ssd to help peeling off the shielding. Damn 4tb on the GO sounds awesome! I have never been able to get that size even in any of my laptops. At most 2tb + 2tb but 4tbs can be so expensive to spend in one go. But gotta get one. Especially for my Asus Zenbook Pro 16x which just has one ssd slot. and absolutely! you said it! the Legion Go holds a very unique space in the tech environment and can have so many applications. I wonder how the Intel based MSI Claw changes things as well.
Ah! That is quite an interesting proposition. No doubt these can easily be coupled with large displays as well for convenience at work. Sounds like you must work at a pretty fun place. :)
Ah man. Sorry to hear about that. The Go is definitely more flexible in many ways. And I think a big big improvement over the steamdeck. Even with an OLED, 800 P and an SOC which is more efficient than powerful means that... battery life would certainly be better but games just wont look as nice.. I actually dont mind so much the lower run time. A 65w charging adpater is just so common now..
Hahaha. I hear you! Even I have a strange bond with the Legion brand. The y740 was my first proper gaming laptop and I will never forget it. Its that one brand I would love to see continue growing
@@kazmieeI'm a casual gamer, who wanted a portable gaming device at a low price point. Switch was the plan, but those games are mostly very childish and crazy expensive. Plan 'B' was the Anbernic Win600, but I found it too weak and too expensive for the performance. Then came the deck with a 64GB card at a very good price. After an SSD upgrade it's more than capable for 99% of my games. And it does real Linux magic. :)
Not sure if there are any confirmed specs on the Ally 2; the main thing that will cause a generational shift would be the SOC / hardware itself - People have high hopes for intel based variants as well.
Is it the OLED? Because if its the previous one then the GO is a properly big step up from the original steam deck. I honestly did not enjoy playing more resource hungry games on thtme steam deck but the GO, I can properly get into a AAA title with this and experience a decent level of immersion
I've have the Legion go, Asus rog alley, and the Steam deck. The GO is my go-to device. The reasons why include. (1). Bigger screen (2). Windows 11 and a mouse pad. (3). The controls work better with emulation and some games than the Asus Rog Ally. (4). 2 Type C ports. I've seen the MSI Claw is out now, but it looks a lot like the Asus Rog Ally and is missing everything I mentioned above that make the GO my go-to device. I will skip getting that device. The only thing I hate about all the devices, and its a BIG thing, is that they are ALL underpowered. The Claw sounds like it is no better even though it's newer and has a faster CPU from what I read in reviews. I can't wait for a handheld that can do big games at atleast medium to high settings.
Yeah I was going to review the claw as well but seems like it is riddled with issues for now. I thought.. intel being intel.. would have some overpowered SOC in the claw.. but oh well.. and a 100% things like a trackpad (even if small) is just so important when dealing with a windows device. I actually did wish Lenovo could have a surface like keyboard on this as well that could simply connect to the type c port at the bottom. All the current handhelds being underpowered is also a realization that hit me hard recently. I am hopefully.. in a week.. going to put out a review between the GO and the very entry level Lenovo Loq 15 with a 3050.. the results have been more surprising to me than I thought. :)
Which one are you talking about? The one on the table while I am speaking? It is the Legion 7 gen 7 advantage adition from 2022. Absolute beauty. One of Legions best variants of the 7. Btw, suuuuper excited about the 2024 non pro Legion 7. Cant wait to review it!
Yeah that is definitely helpful. Its like having an extra controller already. So you can give the one you perhaps already have to a mate for a couch gaming session. And yeah, personally, games are looking great on the Go
Really? That is strange. I know I have had problems with rdr2. It starts but there is a strange scaling issue where I only see half of the screen. But generally I have thrown 20-30 games at it and they all seem to start just fine. Which games are you trying btw?
Best review of legion go I've seen so far.. I've been thinking about buying a handheld for tekken 8 but I'm still not sure which one to get legion or rog ally
oh hey thanks! grateful for the recognition and glad you liked my content. i would say, if value for money is #1 priority for you, then the Asus Ally may be the way to go. It has many great discounts out right now. especially considering that both have roughly the same level of SOC hardware. BUT.. the Legion GO is also discounted these days and I believe it offers little refinements here and there over the Ally. The main feature is obviously the ability to disconnect controllers. If you seek plugging the device to your tv and sitting back for a game while perhaps getting an additional Xbox controller for 1v1 combat, it might offer a bit more convenience. Also, the track pad and scrollwheel can help navigate windows a little better as well compared to the Ally. Let me know what you finally decide on :)
To be honest, I dont often see Legion pushing out updates to their own specific hardware in their regular gaming laptops. Their Legion Vantage interface has also remained pretty much the same over the past 5 years. But I still remain hopeful that they will invest and compete well in this space
Ill wait for end of this year more handhelds will come to the market, like rog ally 2, still hoping for acer to jump in with a predator handheld, next year switch 2 and the new ps vita 2, but the screen on the legion go is insane what i like
Haha, oh yeah, 1600P on this size looks pretty crazy sharp. But yeah, You're right; Acer can also make a play in the market; perhaps even Alienware! the real generational leap would come from a proper SoC upgrade; something like RDNA 4 or maybe even a scaled down RTX 4050 will be pretty nice. ooo and also the MSI claw has created alot of conversation as well with its Intel based SOC
@@thescentprofiler5539 I will never forget the good times I had with my PSP1000. It was literally my only access to any kind of gaming for a long time. It was so cool for its time
Nice! I am excited for you! Did you by any chance get the 1 tb version? What is your main use case? any specific games your looking forward to playing on the Go?
@@kazmiee there is no official 1TB over here(Singapore),hence only the 512GB for me Not really looking forward to playing any game,maybe Star field(if the LeGo can support it) and some old games like uncharted waters emulation
@@benoh3929 oh yes. It runs starfield just fine :) it can be a pretty heavy game even for a decent gaming laptop so it is crazy that we can play starfield on this at decent visuals and fps. And yes, in Canada here we have just the 512 gig version here too. Legion in the spec sheet mentions 1 tb so there must be a market out there with it hehe
Waited for device like this for a while. But ROG Ally seems better for portable gaming. Lenovo feel too heavy. But looking forward to second gen models from all companies.
Welllll.. you would be right.. but.. with the controllers being able to split apart, I can slide the Go into a relatively thinner space as well.. Actually I carried it around easily in my jacket in 3 pieces. The whole thing put together with the protruding joysticks n all will obviously stick out considerably from any pocket. but you're right; the Go is definitely not a generational leap over the Ally and more like a little refinement. We need a whole new SOC from AMD with even more powerful integrated graphics. Or who knows, shoving in something like an RTX 4050 in this form factor can also be a game changer. Either way, how long have you been using the Ally? Is it your only gaming system or do you also have a desktop / laptop for your games?
@@kazmiee I only own laptop (with 3050) and ps5. I'm only fan of handhelds. I don't have use case for handheld for now. I only compare what I see haha...4050 in handhelds would be nice .. but I can't imagine the size of heatsinks in those devices. Cheers.
Seriously? really? - Perhaps that needs to get checked out ; I have never even gotten one since I have been using this for 4 months now; ORRRR.. perhaps you have modified your device quite a bit :P
@@kazmiee no i debloated but i made sure to not remove important stuff i know my room gets dusty a lot so maybe i need to clean something or do a fresh install of windows although i am on the latest beta bios
@@proffesorchaos wiping out a device just to start again can be such a pain. True that. Hope you can work something out. Let me know if you find a fix. All the best
This outperforms the Steam Deck in every way and its pc so you can use it as a pc also and use steam like a pc. So glad I chose the Legion Go over the Steam Deck because the deck has a lot of issues playing certain games and this thing has played every steam game that I thrown at it since it is a pc. Only Steam Deck fan boys hate on it! LOL
@@robertdaone hahaha. I hear that.. the deck has almost a cult following now.. and my suspicion is because it is relatively easier to use / more user friendly and it is also.. well.. genesis.. the Legion Go might not have existed if it was not for the Steam Deck's success. But oh yeah. It is craaazyyy how this thing can literally run any game. None so far has a problem with it..

Great video! I got the Legion Go for Christmas. Its incredible! Games on the go is the way
It really is something isnt it? Did you have a moment with it, playing a game and you thought to yourself.. "how TF is it DOING that??"
@kazmiee YES multiple times! I was just playing Elden Ring on it- It plays it better than my ps4 (yes, It's definitely old now), but in the palm of my hands! Technology has come so far!
@@christianthegrayt sometimes I think I get fascinated so quickly.. but.. I am in my 30s and I have seen tech go having like 6-8 MB ram. Like Megabytez.. and having Dos as the only operating system.. when desktops had a funny TURBO button.. and I used to struggle with fps with the most basic of games.. I mean.. I played NFS Underground2 with like 10-15 fps.. through and through.. and STILL loved it.. and we have SOOOOO much access now.. its.. just.. its been fun witnessing this evolution of tech. :)
Definitely interested in the Legion Go.
Great review brother legion go all the way for me
Oh hey Thanks Pete! Appreciate you watching my content. That seems to be the trend so far. Tbh, I am surprised that the Go has such a great fan base. Pretty cool. Happy to see tech creating so much excitement. :)
The legion go really does look good, I would love to have one.
I hope you get your hands on one soon!
Best handheld gaming pc ever to date.
Awesome video, HOWEVER I need to pont out a mistake in your video. You stated that the Legion Go has AMD RDNA2 Graphics. This is incorrect. It's got RDNA3.
Otherwise great video,
Hahaha. Oh man, I have gotten that comment so many times now. Youre absolutely right. I dont know why I got confused. But thank you for pointing that out and thank you for your kind words.
I am going to put out a comparison between the Go and a similarly priced gaming laptop. The Lenovo LoQ. Hope you continue to find value in my content.
LENOVO LeGO i love my baby cant wait til the next iteration
definitely interested in the legion go because of the detachable controllers
It felt a bit odd to me using a controller split into two but it honestly works pretty damn well.. though, the haptics on them are kind of a fail.
I’m interested in the Legion Go. I’ve been looking at a ton of reviews and thinking if I should get one now or wait.
I have the same, but i gues iam gonne wait till end of this year more handhelds will hit the market for sure
What are the main topics / hinderances in your mind that are stopping you from getting one?
Waiting can also be a good play here; Especially since the competition has gotten so fierce, there are crazy discounts all around on these things. Any chance you are interested in the MSI Claw?
Legion Go fo sho homie! Warming up the SSD by running it for a bit should loosen up the sticker. Not sure if it's worth swapping it over tho.
You got the Go at the PERFECT time. There aren't too many more QoL changes needed, no major bugs, and the Linux community has had enough time to drop excellent OS options. Got a 4TB SSD on mine and will be doing 1TB for Windows with the rest for other distros and VMs. It's a great Swiss army knife for gamers, IT/tech, and cyber professionals. So good I rarely use my ThinkPad or main rig anymore
Heyy, Thank you for your comment! Perhaps a good idea to warm up the ssd to help peeling off the shielding. Damn 4tb on the GO sounds awesome! I have never been able to get that size even in any of my laptops. At most 2tb + 2tb but 4tbs can be so expensive to spend in one go. But gotta get one. Especially for my Asus Zenbook Pro 16x which just has one ssd slot.
and absolutely! you said it! the Legion Go holds a very unique space in the tech environment and can have so many applications. I wonder how the Intel based MSI Claw changes things as well.
The Legion Go is next on my list. Based on the form factor, I think this could be used in my workplace.
Ah! That is quite an interesting proposition. No doubt these can easily be coupled with large displays as well for convenience at work. Sounds like you must work at a pretty fun place. :)
I loved my steam deck LCD, but it died when i swapped out the SSD. The Go is so much better for me and my needs
Ah man. Sorry to hear about that. The Go is definitely more flexible in many ways. And I think a big big improvement over the steamdeck. Even with an OLED, 800 P and an SOC which is more efficient than powerful means that... battery life would certainly be better but games just wont look as nice.. I actually dont mind so much the lower run time. A 65w charging adpater is just so common now..
I got so much faith in the Lenovo legion go that I’d put money in the Lenovo’s stocks.
Hahaha. I hear you! Even I have a strange bond with the Legion brand. The y740 was my first proper gaming laptop and I will never forget it. Its that one brand I would love to see continue growing
The Legion Go destroys all others currently. I sold my deck oled shortly after trying the Go
I do absolutely love my Legion Go
Great video, Steam Deck for me. ;)
Thank youu! Appreciate you watching my content. But what are your reasons for that? why choose steam deck over the others?
@@kazmieeI'm a casual gamer, who wanted a portable gaming device at a low price point. Switch was the plan, but those games are mostly very childish and crazy expensive. Plan 'B' was the Anbernic Win600, but I found it too weak and too expensive for the performance. Then came the deck with a 64GB card at a very good price. After an SSD upgrade it's more than capable for 99% of my games.
And it does real Linux magic. :)
I like the Legion Go also the best portable gaming pc right now and soon Rog Ally 2
Not sure if there are any confirmed specs on the Ally 2; the main thing that will cause a generational shift would be the SOC / hardware itself - People have high hopes for intel based variants as well.
I have a steam deck but the Legion Go has an amazing screen and performance
Is it the OLED? Because if its the previous one then the GO is a properly big step up from the original steam deck. I honestly did not enjoy playing more resource hungry games on thtme steam deck but the GO, I can properly get into a AAA title with this and experience a decent level of immersion
Love Gamepass and Sunshine on Lego ,Retroarch also awesome.
Its amazing how far game pass has come honestly
Legion go loooks good for sure
I think certainly the most likely to turn heads of all the hand helds..
I love my legion go, but the real issue is the native display orientation, we need a bios update in order to fix that
Do you mean the issue with some games opening on half of the screen and it does not go fullscreen?
I love the Legion go it's super awesome coz it has huge screen❤
Haha. Oh yes and thin bezels. Definitely feels more modern and immersize compared to the competition.
To answer your question, I'm interested in this device. Not just any legion go... i want yours. Thanks.
Come and get it
I've have the Legion go, Asus rog alley, and the Steam deck. The GO is my go-to device. The reasons why include. (1). Bigger screen (2). Windows 11 and a mouse pad. (3). The controls work better with emulation and some games than the Asus Rog Ally. (4). 2 Type C ports.
I've seen the MSI Claw is out now, but it looks a lot like the Asus Rog Ally and is missing everything I mentioned above that make the GO my go-to device. I will skip getting that device.
The only thing I hate about all the devices, and its a BIG thing, is that they are ALL underpowered. The Claw sounds like it is no better even though it's newer and has a faster CPU from what I read in reviews.
I can't wait for a handheld that can do big games at atleast medium to high settings.
Yeah I was going to review the claw as well but seems like it is riddled with issues for now. I thought.. intel being intel.. would have some overpowered SOC in the claw.. but oh well.. and a 100% things like a trackpad (even if small) is just so important when dealing with a windows device. I actually did wish Lenovo could have a surface like keyboard on this as well that could simply connect to the type c port at the bottom.
All the current handhelds being underpowered is also a realization that hit me hard recently. I am hopefully.. in a week.. going to put out a review between the GO and the very entry level Lenovo Loq 15 with a 3050.. the results have been more surprising to me than I thought. :)
Which laptop is that exactly. I like it. It reminds me of my rog strix g15
Which one are you talking about? The one on the table while I am speaking? It is the Legion 7 gen 7 advantage adition from 2022. Absolute beauty. One of Legions best variants of the 7. Btw, suuuuper excited about the 2024 non pro Legion 7. Cant wait to review it!
@@kazmiee yes the one on the table right next to you when you were talking. Beautiful laptop my friend
@@kazmiee oh wow. The new one sounds really interesting
I like the ally but I like having a big screen and detachable controllers to connect it to a screen of some sort
Yeah that is definitely helpful. Its like having an extra controller already. So you can give the one you perhaps already have to a mate for a couch gaming session. And yeah, personally, games are looking great on the Go
@@kazmiee that would be great if I’d had a legion go or could afford to get one 🥲
I absolutely love this device! Thank you for downloading the Witcher 😂
You should definitely find a way to continue playing the Witcher. Ask yousuf to get you a present for all the food you have been feeding him :P
Lenovo Legion Go
Love mine but games just don't start alot 😢
Really? That is strange. I know I have had problems with rdr2. It starts but there is a strange scaling issue where I only see half of the screen. But generally I have thrown 20-30 games at it and they all seem to start just fine. Which games are you trying btw?
Where did you get that wallpaper bro?
Haha. Ill be honest, I found it by mistake. Even I dont remember where I got it. Ill have a look and see If I can find a link.
Love this!
Love you!
So cool
I know right? I love how the portable or handheld gaming market is coming back in game. Android based gaming never really appealed to me.
Best review of legion go I've seen so far.. I've been thinking about buying a handheld for tekken 8 but I'm still not sure which one to get legion or rog ally
oh hey thanks! grateful for the recognition and glad you liked my content. i would say, if value for money is #1 priority for you, then the Asus Ally may be the way to go. It has many great discounts out right now. especially considering that both have roughly the same level of SOC hardware. BUT.. the Legion GO is also discounted these days and I believe it offers little refinements here and there over the Ally. The main feature is obviously the ability to disconnect controllers. If you seek plugging the device to your tv and sitting back for a game while perhaps getting an additional Xbox controller for 1v1 combat, it might offer a bit more convenience. Also, the track pad and scrollwheel can help navigate windows a little better as well compared to the Ally. Let me know what you finally decide on :)
@@kazmiee sure thing brother 👍
Yeah but they never release updates to improve it?
To be honest, I dont often see Legion pushing out updates to their own specific hardware in their regular gaming laptops. Their Legion Vantage interface has also remained pretty much the same over the past 5 years. But I still remain hopeful that they will invest and compete well in this space
You playing the Witcher made my day 😄
Oh jamesyy wameseyyyyy. Btw, I finally watched the witcher tv series. Season 3.. was.. so so.. but the witcher anime was nice
@@kazmiee , the animated series is good... Season 3 story was a bit dull... But still going strong... Witcher rocks!!!!
Ill wait for end of this year more handhelds will come to the market, like rog ally 2, still hoping for acer to jump in with a predator handheld, next year switch 2 and the new ps vita 2, but the screen on the legion go is insane what i like
Haha, oh yeah, 1600P on this size looks pretty crazy sharp. But yeah, You're right; Acer can also make a play in the market; perhaps even Alienware! the real generational leap would come from a proper SoC upgrade; something like RDNA 4 or maybe even a scaled down RTX 4050 will be pretty nice. ooo and also the MSI claw has created alot of conversation as well with its Intel based SOC
Sony hasn't confirmed they are making a another handheld. Where did you get that information from?
@@thescentprofiler5539 I will never forget the good times I had with my PSP1000. It was literally my only access to any kind of gaming for a long time. It was so cool for its time
I just ordered mine today!
Nice! I am excited for you! Did you by any chance get the 1 tb version? What is your main use case? any specific games your looking forward to playing on the Go?
@@kazmiee there is no official
1TB over here(Singapore),hence only the 512GB for me
Not really looking forward to playing any game,maybe Star field(if the LeGo can support it) and some old games like uncharted waters emulation
@@benoh3929 oh yes. It runs starfield just fine :) it can be a pretty heavy game even for a decent gaming laptop so it is crazy that we can play starfield on this at decent visuals and fps. And yes, in Canada here we have just the 512 gig version here too. Legion in the spec sheet mentions 1 tb so there must be a market out there with it hehe
The legion go is the best handheld
Do you already have one or are you intending to buy one soon?
I would like to get one, maybe you could help me 😂
@@SwagLord4k haha, who am I? Mrbeast? :p I can probably help you by sending you the website URL of where you can buy one :P
Legion GO !
Even in my dreams. I cant buy this thing...😢😢😢
Oh man. I have definitely been there. Hang in there, perhaps you can snag a good open box deal?
Love the vids hope I win a Lenovo legion go
Thx
Thank you! Happy that you found value in my content. And let me know where I can win a legion Go as well. I wont mind getting my hands on another
Waited for device like this for a while. But ROG Ally seems better for portable gaming. Lenovo feel too heavy. But looking forward to second gen models from all companies.
Welllll.. you would be right.. but.. with the controllers being able to split apart, I can slide the Go into a relatively thinner space as well.. Actually I carried it around easily in my jacket in 3 pieces. The whole thing put together with the protruding joysticks n all will obviously stick out considerably from any pocket. but you're right; the Go is definitely not a generational leap over the Ally and more like a little refinement. We need a whole new SOC from AMD with even more powerful integrated graphics. Or who knows, shoving in something like an RTX 4050 in this form factor can also be a game changer.
Either way, how long have you been using the Ally? Is it your only gaming system or do you also have a desktop / laptop for your games?
@@kazmiee I only own laptop (with 3050) and ps5. I'm only fan of handhelds. I don't have use case for handheld for now. I only compare what I see haha...4050 in handhelds would be nice .. but I can't imagine the size of heatsinks in those devices. Cheers.
Legion go
Yup, it is pretty cool hardware for CAD 799

i love this device but i been getting blue screens lol
Seriously? really? - Perhaps that needs to get checked out ; I have never even gotten one since I have been using this for 4 months now; ORRRR.. perhaps you have modified your device quite a bit :P
@@kazmiee no i debloated but i made sure to not remove important stuff i know my room gets dusty a lot so maybe i need to clean something or do a fresh install of windows although i am on the latest beta bios
@@proffesorchaos hmm, if you are considering to start afresh, cant you tell Legion to replace your device? On account of multiple BSODs?
@@kazmiee maybe since it is still in warranty im gonna give it a few more days tho
@@proffesorchaos wiping out a device just to start again can be such a pain. True that. Hope you can work something out. Let me know if you find a fix. All the best
Steam deck laughs af
Do you favor the Steam Deck over the GO?
This outperforms the Steam Deck in every way and its pc so you can use it as a pc also and use steam like a pc. So glad I chose the Legion Go over the Steam Deck because the deck has a lot of issues playing certain games and this thing has played every steam game that I thrown at it since it is a pc. Only Steam Deck fan boys hate on it! LOL
@@robertdaone hahaha. I hear that.. the deck has almost a cult following now.. and my suspicion is because it is relatively easier to use / more user friendly and it is also.. well.. genesis.. the Legion Go might not have existed if it was not for the Steam Deck's success. But oh yeah. It is craaazyyy how this thing can literally run any game. None so far has a problem with it..
