I'm a father of two and don't have much time to game. I work 12 hour swing shifts including weekends and nights. On slower nights I can take this and play all night long. It's been a game changer for me on night shift. I used to just watch movies on my phone. Now I have that big screen for movies and games. It's great!
That's great! Love the fact you are enjoying it! Much love
Living the dream.
im literally n the same boat. same use cases. it's been perfect!
As someone who just bought one of these a few weeks ago. I can agree I never put it down lol, and I’ve had Ally Z1 Extreme and Steam Deck. This thing is awesome
Do you still have/play on all 3? Or is the legion go your only 'go to'? (excuse the pun)
@@TheDJDUCK01 At this point the legion go is the only one of the big 3 I have, I have a few of the smaller ones for gens before GameCube/PS2
@@lilrockstarrs what do you like most specifically for ps2?
@@timekeepermedia5142 Console wise? My Anbernic RG556, the OLED screen is amazing. But the Legion Go has an amazing screen to haha not as portable though
I had a rog ally and legion go and sold my legion go, just felt uncomfortable to me and some of my favorite games ran worse than they did on the rog ally
Despite the lack of updated drivers, I've always had a good experience with Lenovo support. Considering the recent expose by Gamers Nexus around ASUS' crazy customer service, I'd weigh that heavily comparing the ROG and Legion Go.
this
Yes, Asus have certainly dropped in service levels these days, more interested in ripping the customer off. Lenovo like Valve are better then that.
@@marksapollo Not always. As an IT guy at an university where we use lots of Lenovo hardware and from personal use I can tell, Lenovo has it's own problems. Good luck getting you stuff replaced or repaired out of guarantee even though it seems to be faulty by design (lots of people with similar issues).
Lenovo devices look nice but have their out-of-box issues like the keys on my wife's Yoga 2-in-1 triggering the touch screen causing random mouse movements when used closed with a dock and external mouse. Also has some random and odd other issues. The Thinkpad X1 Carbon I got at work has battery issues, odd issues where it freezes randomly for a few seconds and the keyboard is also touching the screen, causing it to get dirty from natural skin oil and I have quite dry hands. Lenovo doesn't design such devices with a big enough gap between screen and keyboard.
At this point I would rather get the SD (if I wouldn't own one already) than the Legion Go, but I also don't have any experiences with Valves customer support.
Lenovo is certainly the best pc brand for quality, price and support
i broke mine, motherboard suddenly failed. tweeted the problem at them at night, in the morning a local rep contacted me took the device and by tomorrow the device was returned. I do appreciate a company who takes after sales w more effort. now i use their PCs and laptop
The Legion Go really surprised me. I bought one on a whim, open box deal at BB. I fully intended on returning it, expecting to hate it. On paper, it looks bulky, uncomfortable, the controls seem weirdly designed, and windows on handhelds wasn't appealing to me. But somehow, it won me over and is my absolute FAVOURITE handheld out of any of the ones I have. Does it have issues? Yes, definitely. But the huge, vibrant screen, is so incredibly immersive, and the flexibility of being able to use it as a tablet, and have all the simplicity of being able to use windows actually is a huge difference to other handhelds out there.
Having windows on a 7inch screen really doesn't work because of readability for me, but the Legion Go, I don't feel like I'm making any compromises.
I don't recommend it at full price, but I do recommend people hunt for deals on this and try it out, it may surprise you.
How much was the open box in best buy?
@@karma.2781 I'm in Canada, so it came to like $650 CAD
@@CSHummer that's real cheap, cheapest I've seen it here (open box fair) is 640 USD which is about 870 cad.
@@karma.2781 lucky, testing a 750 from BB rn.
Got mine open box for £560 from EE. Replaced a M-ATX PC with it. So good for the sitting room.
Good to see you have the first Well type game
Downwell says, "Hi."
This has been my favorite device ever can’t wait to try some of the upgrades you showed
Great "re-review". I've been using the Legion GO since day1 (swapped my og steam deck for it) and i still love it so much. Daily use, so much power and freedom, can't wait for the Legion GO 2.
I'm about to receive a legion go. What about the weight?
We need a new office tour! Those arcade cabinets look sick
Really appreciate the deep dive into integer scaling. It's one of the most overlooked features on the Go, IMO. Huge performance uplift without the blurring that typically comes with dropping your resolution down.
I just picked one up myself (I currently have the Ayaneo 2). Thanks much for the update on the Go!
Thanks for the video Russ. I love my Legion Go.
Russ, your content is always on point, but I must say, you've really stepped up your game on the production value. Lighting, sound, framing... The complete package is looking tight. Keep it coming, man.
Appreciate the tweaks and shoutout to an awesome community. Main thing holding me back (because I have a gaming laptop) are the battery life and audio (but I usually use bluetooth earbuds anyways). The controllers being unique (and the 3D printed accessories look nice) and the large screen are what draw me in as a Nintendo Switch user. Hoping for the next model to have OLED.
love the video and loved seeing more of the studio! your studio looks awesome!
Great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I currently have a SD LCD from day one. Looking to grab the GO as a late birthday gift for myself. Excited to get my hands on one soon , just waiting since the Canadian price is 899 plus tax 🤦🏾♂️
I’ve had my Legion go since November and I’m still very happy with it, I even sent it in for some warranty work and they had it back before they said it would be back (about a week) this device seems to have great support and I will likely own it for quite some time! Only thing I haven’t quite gotten figured out on it is emulation which is mostly due to lack of much trying. Overall super happy with my purchase.
Always appreciate the Legion Go update videos. I am going to have to order those grips.
I like how passionate your reviews are and how they address real life use cases. Most reviews i came across would just run benchmarks ans call it a day, even though they claim to be "enthusiasts"
Love the cabinets in the background
Crazy timing you uploaded this because I'm having similar thoughts and have been using the Legion Go and GPD Win Mini more than anything lately
Very informative always. I wish you and your channel success bro.
Received a steam deck oled this week. Great device but it made me fall in love with my legion go all over again. Just can’t beat that screen. Returning my SD Oled and bought a pair of the grips you shared on Etsy.
I know it’s an expensive device for this, but at 1600p 144hz I find it to be the ultimate streaming device for my desktop. I rarely play games native on it but use that screen to its fullest with max settings through moonlight.
Legion Go is my first proper pc gaming experience and it's great having everything in one place...Being able to play when and where I like is great.
Since the joycons are modular I wish brands like Flydigi would make premium joycons for the Legion Go
Especifically if the right con can just mirror the left for non-FPS users, or even a left FPS con version
Yeah, that's what sucks with smaller install bases. Even with the popularity of the Steam Deck I can imagine we'd see a good handful of options... missing out on third party things like cases is whatever, but there's so much potential here :/
Well said!
Your channel is so amazing! :)
Holy crap Russ.... You just fixed my Lenovo x12 laptop's speakers, and I have been trying for well over two years to fix them. They were so metallic and tinny that they would peak and crackle simply at the sound of plugging a device into them.
Turns out I didn't have EQ settings in realtek, but that took me down a rabbit hole I hadn't thought about, and turns out there was a dolby atmos console with some dynamic setting that was ja cking everything up. Turned it off... your voice stopped peaking the speakers. They still weren't tolerable, but no longer unusable.
So I added in FXsound and turned it to light processing and holy crap it sounds like a laptop. Not a great laptop, but I can actually use the speakers to listen to a lecture now.
Man lenovo can't do speakers for crap. Absolutely OUTSTANDING customer service though, I don't love my X12 as a device, but spending $250 for 5 years of next day on-site repair has paid for itself several times over, having a technician come to my house and fix the several hardware faults I've had (firmware update bricking my display driver, dropped it once and broke the magnesium chassis and one speaker)
Congrats on 500k brother. Great video as usual. ✌️
Russ is the goat - I came here for the Steam Deck Emu Deck tutorial a few months ago, but find myself watching all the other device videos, even if I’m never going to be buying them.
Love my Go, it is simply my favorite handheld.
I share pretty much all your feelings of it, and while it's clear this was just as much a parts commercial as it was a follow up, I REALLY appreciate learning about that vertical orientation accessory and also that carrying bag. Both are getting purchased!
I absolutely love my Legion Go. The screen size really makes portable gaming work for my old eyes.
Ive got mine couple days ago and love it 🙋🏻♂️😁
really wouldnt go for the ally anymore, ASUS as a company is just super shady, i'd stay far away from them
Really nice to see that you upload in 4K now!
Oh snap, Russ is my brother lefty! ~2 years I've been following your channel, and I discovered this just now ❤
Thanks Russ, I got the go for Starfield and others and love the screen but I find the ease of using the Steamdeck is too good and my Go sits idle. These recommendations have given me a reason to play it again. What a time to be a gamer, keep up the great work you do for us
When you have a 4 hour layover the Go’s tabletop functionality comes in clutch. I was watching movies and playing games and it felt like only 1 hour lol such a great device
It's also just the right size to use on a plane without feeling like a laptop or larger tablet taking up valuable space while broadcasting whatever you're playing or watching to everybody sitting behind you. I got a tablet mount specifically designed for plane travel to test on a recent trip and never touched the onboard entertainment.
Hi, i will take the plane to go to China on july. Could you explain me how you can use thé legion go on plane bécause the life of the battery is not very large. Excuse my english and have a good day.
@@louiscypher9493 Pretty much all planes that fly internationally have universal power outlets, if I'm not mistaken. I just plugged in a charger for the Go.
@@louiscypher9493 会说中文吗？
I use legion Go mostly for travel trips. I fly monthly for work and it is great for this. Even TSA asked me about it on my trip last week, told the guy to check it out. Most def worth it to me.
Always good to see a mewithoutYou fan! Love those fellas
saw them many times.. so good live!
Holy crap your speaker settings completely changed the way it sounds waaaay better lol. I find its even better and more punchy with the exact way you have but with omni sound off. Perfect!! Thank you awesome video
Good shout on lossless scaling, using that on my SD OLED and the newest update has made a huge difference.
wow really? Also SD oled user here. What does the app do other than integer scaling and hot it affects the deck? and how it can be run in the background?
Bro i like the way u describe and making thing so simple and make it better for us by helping with ur knowledge ,, really appreciate your work . keep it up man 👍
Congratulations on the new desk
I love my Legion Go. The screen is big and the colors are so vivid. I wouldn't change it for any windows portable device available!
I got my legion go around January, and i love it. I play it almost every day. I've purchased the same grips, and they make it way more comfortable, and as a plus it can still fit in the original case, though just barely, and I've also 3d printed the connector and the vertical screen connector for emulating DS/3DS. I'm finally getting to play sega saturn since none of my other devices emulate it acceptably to me (Retroid Pocket Flip, Samsung Galaxy S10+ with a Razer controller, modded Switch in Android dual boot, though i haven't tried the Switch Cotton rom injection. Only a few games i play require balance mode, where i get 2 hours of play time, most of my emulators and indy steam games run on power saver mode, where i get 3 - 4.5 hours of battery time. Just being able to play anything without having to set up a laptop has been a game changer, and has made it so much easier to just pick up a device when i have 5-10 minutes, or when i just want to play on the couch or in bed.
10/10 would recommend, and if you can get one open box you can get it cheaper than a steam deck OLED. Even so, with the ability to play game the deck can't, and play the games it can better, i think it's worth the extra dollars in my personal opinion.
I pre ordered my Legion and I love it now as much as I did then. I have not did any mods it was perfect out the box for me.
The great thing about the handheld space right now is that there is no "correct" choice in what is objectively the best one right now. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, and it's about finding what suits YOU
Great content as always! Question though, would you be willing to make a tutorial on transferring config files and such between android based devices so you don't have to freshly set them up each time? Like if you have a rp3+ but bought a rp4 is there a fairly seamless way to transfer everything over to the new device? I love tinkering with them but it gets to be a bit much after setting them up over and over. I'm sure you of all people understand that. Thank you for everything you do! That "happy gaming" at the end of your videos is so genuine. You definitely have a passion for gaming and for helping people! You rock!
Really love my Legion Go 6 months after ❤❤❤ playing Ghost of tsushima now. Works well on our LE-GO
I absolutely love my LeGo . Even though i primarily got it for gaming, what sold me on it was the fact that you can't really find a tablet running full windows , with the specs that it has without spending $1000+ bux. Excellent portable tool for using blender and other 3d art applications. I was going to get a waccom graphics tablet but was going to pay no less than $1000 for it. The LeGo does everything i needed from the waccom for half the price.
I love me legion, my favorite part is that the kickstand still works for portrait mode where you can play all the old standup arcades ❤ i owned the deck and ally and returned both but fwll in love with the go. The only thing i would add to your video is de bloating, and you can use a tool like bloatynosy, i went from 250 precesses on the cpu to 115 with about 30% performance boost.
I was curious about the Legion from the start but was disappointed after the initial reviews. But I recently caught something regarding Lenovo coming out with some AR glasses later this year that could make this handheld a lot of fun. Now with your positive comments I'm definitely leaning towards the Legion Go. Thanks for all the info.
Thanks for another great video. Can we request a deep dive on the RG35XX-H? The nonstock firmware tutorials are half written chaos. We need your clarity! Thanks for everything you do.
i just bought one for my kid and it landed in my laps 3 days ago. I too wish for such a video. I am here bcuz I also bought the GO! Alot of good info here and I am def going to buy accessories like the bag and the side bracket for the controllers to play emulators in vertical mode. Again, such an informative video. Can you imagine one with the RG35xx H with regards to the install instructions for non stock operating systems? ld love to see it!
@@olddadagamer Yeah, that vertical mode i think it would be a blast for shoot em ups!
I've been using muOS for the 35XXH. It's just straightforward, decluttered, lets me focus on the gaming and not on a thousand themes and functions, but still have some customization, some good QoL features, and boot time is super quick. There are a few videos on it and you can try to watch and see if it's good for you :)
@@RomanBellicTaxiI'll def take a look. going to buy 1 for myself so my son and I can link up and play together if that's a possibility there.
Love the mwY shirt as always, hope you were able to catch a show before they retired!
The new camera angle looks good 👍🏿
Thanks for detailed explanation on integer scaling. Really appreciate it.
One question re tomtoc bag, have you tried putting the Legion Go with its controller attached? How's the fit?
As someone that at some point travelled overseas with a PS4 fat, a portable monitor, dualshock, personal laptop, business laptop and their corresponding power bricks.
The only thing I could say is that I'm amazed with my 2 handhelds! (SD OLED and LLGo), I have to say that on my recent trips I have been choosing the LLGo over the SD OLED simply because I can play any game I want. Also, with controllers dettached it is very easy to travel with, its like travelling with a chunkier ipad mini, then you can throw the controllers wherever you want (these are light but very durable so I dont really care about those at all).
Also I have been using it just as a tablet to watch videos, read documents/epubs/browsing in portrait mode and it is a pleasure, I don't really feel the need of a personal laptop anymore.
The only thing I could say I'm really missing is a finger print scanner to unlock the thing, similar as the ally. Other than that if they release a refresh of this same product with a few more enhancements: better ergonomics, native landscape display, more refresh rate modes and not only 60-144, more software updates, maybe even an OLED screen, Lenovo will simply blast the handheld market, only with those updates I will be sold to upgrade and not even consider to get rid of my original V1, since I still think that is an amazing product with a ton of use cases other than gaming
thanks for the great overview! I agree with most of these things... and I can also happily say that I also have a great time with this device.
One question though: can you comment on how tools like lossless scaling behaves when you change your setup from handheld to docked? I have certain games that I only use docked and on my big screen - so my assumption is that it would not do anything if it is not specifically started up, right? (lossless scaling I mean)
Perfect timing. Ty! 👏🏻
I feel like it's important to mention button mapping has improved a lot. Not all of the extra buttons are comfortable to use, but the 3 in the back are pretty good and I've mapped them to stuff like alt-tab and esc with no issue. You also can change the button mapping profile very easily, so I have one for watching movies/videos/whatever. The screen is big enough that you basically get a mini TV in bed.
Oh, and don't sleep on that mousewheel and trackpad. They make Windows navigation so much better, and are pretty handy to organise big inventories in games too.
I love the Deck's ergonomics and control placement, but my eyes can't deal with 7" screens, so the Go's been awesome. The larger display and versatility coupled with all the community-driven customizations really cement the Go as a dark horse in the handheld race.
Great video filled with helpful tips. Definitely going to be picking up those grips to try.
Edit: Sold out. Bummer, hope they print some more soon.
I recently purchased a Legion Go and am very happy with it.
The only thing it's missing is a Lenovo manufacturer dock.
Yeah, ive had the Legion go since its inception, and i just adore it. It's dependable ,beautiful screen. I actually use my XReal 2 Pro glasses with it as well and a small pockect size foldable keyboard, and i am set. I also have an Anker portable charger (basically a portable power station) that i leave in my car and because the Legion go had the firmware update where the battery charges fast while playing and im getting around 6 hours of play with my hook up, its just no comparison. Ive also since, gotten rid of steam deck, asus ally AND my ps5, there is no need for them anymore after the legion go.
I got a Lenovo Y700 2023 Legion tablet on sale a while back and I use it for watching shows, playing Retroarch with an 8bitdo controller, reading comics, etc. It's the greatest tablet of its size and I haven't been this content of a device in a long, long time - best purchase ever!
AMAZING battery too, truly great! Lenovo makes some good stuff man.
The Go uses the exact same screen. Definitely a great display.
@@catch82 Didn't know that but makes sense looking at it! Great stuff.
Starting 😂😂😂 I haven’t gone back to my deck since. I just wish there was move covers/ accessories etc. but I love it. Still much room to get even better
Great video thanks!!
Great video!
As someone who's done a full cycle of trying out handhelds, I liked the legion go a lot but disliked how slow they are with updates and etc.. so i went ahead and returned it and bought the deck oled instead.
I've always wanted to go back to the legion go, but I feel like perhaps at this point maybe i should wait for a "refreshed" version?
What are your thoughts and what would be your recommendation? Deck Oled -> Legion Go or just stick to the deck oled for now? (Just an fyi - i have no issues navigating around windows and stuff. Yes, i do love the decks "console" like feeling, but I know there's like bazzite on the legion go to make it also feel that way).
Thanks!
In addition to the “power savin g” there’s also “Quite Mode” in the bios menu. Spelling isnt a dealbreaker but does show lack of attention to detail in one area that could mean issues in another.
I will say the LeGo is the best all around device. Need a tablet? Joy cons? Giant kickstand? Built in track pad and optical mouse? Portrait play? All there. Not as comfortable as Steam Deck or Ally, not as polished, but I bought the thing for emulating EVERYTHING (DS and WiiU included) and that it does very well.
You got the arcade cabinet, awesome !
Thanks for a great update. What metrics (fps, battery life etc)program are you using please? I really don’t like the Lenovo one.
Hey man, great video!
Speaking of revisiting hardware,
could you do a video about the ROG Ally running BazziteOS?
I think that would make a great video, comparing it to the original windows software, and checking if there is any improvements.
Great video. i just sold my steam deck lcd and thinking about to buy this one. but do u use windows or steam os on this device? in some scene i saw the steam overlay. or was it the big picture mode?
I replaced my laptop and desktop with just the LG and have been loving using it so far, it's an absolute beast.
lol I had to think for a second, LG what? What LG product, then it clicked haha 😂, a fair few have made Steam Decks or Legion Go's their only computers.
@@marksapollo I used davinci resolve to make my vids, and that just doesn't work with linux (also lack of detatchable controlls was a real issue on my SD)
@@Sizzylwdym doesn't work it has native Linux version? Out of all the professional grade video editors you picked the one that is supposed to work on linux to say it doesn't.
@@luimu it works on like rocky something and nothing else without a ton of configuration. go look up how to set up davinci on linux and you'll see the jank solutions people do to make it 'work' (sometimes)
Yeah? What OLED you got?
I'm about to go buy one a soon as i go on break in an hour 😊
I've got one, had it for a few months. I like it, but don't love it. I really do like the beauty of a screen, it allows me to play some games on the go that I otherwise wouldn't try. However, It's kind of a process getting it out to play, putting it in desktop mode, connecting power, doing all the things I need to do to counteract the weight, that I rarely do. I'm waiting on a GPD win mini 2024, which I think will fit my needs better.
Review is spot on
Thank you for this and appreciate the time into these!
Is the legion able to fit into the case with the grips on?
The extreme lengths you have to go to have interger scaling and/or FSR or stuff like that just makes me appreciate my SteamOS Steam Deck even more. All these things are a single click away and already included. The equalizer to boost the speakers is also native (and you can also use EasyEffects) and everything is 100% free and extremely easy to use. I still don't understand why people complain that Linux is hard to use when Windows requires so much confusing steps, updating drivers, etc.
but you are not scaling up to anything significant? In fact your going even lower res - on this device we are talking 800P to 1600P - it should be built in to the LEGO for sure, but let's not oversell what the Steam Deck is doing. It's 800P and maybe can squeeze a few lighter games higher on an external display
Thank you so much for this follow up video on the Legion Go!
I picked up a 1TB Legion Go from BB in 'Fair' condition back in Dec for just over $610 after tax. I was worried that it would be scratched and damaged but it was actually in perfect condition. The BB employee I talked to told me they just marked it as 'Fair' to get it sold and I was happy to keep it at that price. I've been enjoying using it overall but I am excited to try out the recommendations you have mentioned! I also plan to grab the comfort grips and then go from there for some of the other accessories.
I'd say that my biggest frustration with it is that sometimes I’ll find that it’s turned on while in it’s case so it’s hot and has wasted battery. I’m sure that’s user error but I would like it if it were easier for me to hit the power button and store it without having to worry if something is going to randomly wake it up in there.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
From what I heard looking at many reviews of these devices, that's a windows 11 issue. It was even doing that when I tried using win11 on the steam deck. From what I read online, putting it in hibernate instead of sleep works better. Supposedly that stops it from turning back on, but the downside is it takes slightly longer to resume.
@@undergradchaos Thanks for the heads-up! I'll give that a try.
Thank you. I feel that the LLG gets pushed to the back of discussions with focus only on Valve and ASUS. They all have positives and negatives, and different folks will find each one rheir ideal. The Go is that device for me, controller size, screen size, battery, balance, etc. Don't need to knock other portable Consoles/PCs because you prefer one over the other, all are great options.
Great video Russ.
Plain and simple the best videos around
MeWithoutYou shirt was very unexpected! Nice!
Wicked , truelly the best handheld video ive seen .
Hey Russ! Any chance for a re-review/look at the Trimui Smart Pro? I just ordered 1 a few days ago :D
Im glad, I've yet to set mine up and give it a try
I love the screen. Makes me want that tablet that has the same chipset.
Good lord, just when I was ready to buy it, your video dropped!
Thank you for your review, I'm definitely buying this now.
Official Lenovo accessories are coming in the summer , legion space ui overhaul coming and then the drivers I believe is coming in the next week or so . Ive enjoyed my legion go because its like a swiss army knife but i use the loki max with bazzite os for quick in bed gaming due to bazzite and the lighter weight of the loki max .
That Tomtoc sling bag looks very nice and interesting to me though. I know it says "iPad mini" in the description, but do you think 11 inch tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, would also fit in there?
I've really been considering getting the Legion Go but after the announcement of the Ally X I'm not so sure..or is it worth the extra to just get a gaming laptop?
Hey Russ love your videos! Are you planning to review the Onexplayer x1? I'm really interested in it's form factor because it's ability to be a handheld for gaming but also a laptop or tablet. I need those second two as I'm about to start university and also want to game but I don't have money for 3 devices😅
Thanks!
Don't get it yet it has Intel chip in it. It's gonna run just like MSI claw, so many games don't run very well and some games don't even run. Wait for them to release an AMD version then it will be an awesome device.
still love mine, especially since hades 2 just came out, been playing it also with remote play on my main pc
that 3DS attachment thingy is super neat, might have to cop myself one
yeah, I have pretty big hands and had gotten sick of handling my Odin 2 after like 3 weeks with it because it was so uncomfortable. anything involving the right analog stick or the d-pad was a massive pain. but I found 3D print files for grips on etsy for like $5 and was able to print them at my university for free. now it's almost as comfortable as a normal controller (though using the right stick is still not a great experience for me)
Honestly I don’t comment a lot lately, but I have to say of all the PC handhelds I’ve used… the legion go is my favorite. It’s far from perfect but it’s the only one I haven’t sold or traded or returned. It does all the stuff I want and I love it. ❤
Turn on my Legion Go again after this vid lol so many updates and yes a lot of it has been helpful. They also now have a FPS Limiter toggle so we can limit to 120 BUT its a PITA to stop at exact 120fps because its going 119 or 121 every time we pull our finger 🙃
Also Russ, wdyt of Hades 2?
Lossless Scaling is such a gamechanger for me. I'm using it not only on my ROG Ally for smooth 120 FPS gameplay, but also on my desktop to get close to 240 FPS on games! Great that it works with any kind of GPU too. It's kind of a miracle app - all for the low, low price of $7!
This is the one in most interested in, I’m just not sure how I feel about getting in at this point of the pc handheld market. Do I wait for some maturity or are they good enough to be an early adopter? Coming from the perspective of not buying one of these things every year. I’d probably keep using whatever I buy through at least a couple of years because they aren’t cheap in my region. Any opinions from people with this or the asus or anything else would very much be appreciated.
I just bought a legion go because rn it's on sale for CA$799 where as everywhere I could find the rog ally is CA$899 it's also my first handheld pc so I'm really excited to try it
I LOVE my Legion Go! I’ve had a Steam Deck from nearly the beginning and I bought a Steam Deck OLED limited edition last year and I barely play it. I mostly take my LG with me when I leave the house.
I have SD OLED LE and love it, but I do like a lot of things about the Legion Go. How would you compare the screens? After the SD OLED I’m not sure I could go back to an LCD. If someday a Legion Go 2 gets an OLED then wow.
@@tappersreviews4677 obviously the LG is lcd but man it’s an amazing one. Way better than the one used in the SD lcd. It very comparable to an OLED though you will see edge backlighting on darker scenes but not much. The screens size is also a head turner. Is big, vibrant, and sharp! It really is nice. I reviewed and compared them on my channel (shameless plug lol)
Wow with the vertical adapter this becomes the best handheld to do ds/3ds
