Are you Team Legion GO or Team ROG Ally? (comment below)
Legion GO: geni.us/LegionGo
Legion Slim 7i: geni.us/LegionSlim7I
ROG Ally: geni.us/ROGally
Legion, go, and yes, I am down a rabbit hole 😂 just trying to figure out which one I want
Team rog ally but waiting for the ally 2th that thing is gonne rock 🔥
Returned my ally cause of the SD card melting issue, just too unacceptable of a wide spread issue. Got my legion go a few days ago. Def team go
Actually glad to see this video, W take, feel like everyone expected the LegGo to be as good as the Ally and Steam Deck from day 1, but it's taken the Ally 7 months to get where it's at and the steam deck has been out for almost 2 years. And with constant feedback from Lenovo and a good road map with consistent updates I feel this could be one of the best handhelds! Getting mine next week!
This 1600p display is perfect for integer scaling from 800p. The 800p image with integer scaling is like native display resolution! You can activate the integer scaling option in adrenalin by registry editing. The latest beta driver from lenovo alows you to do that without registry editing. The integer scaling is game changer! Thank to 1600p display!
Totally agree with you. I have the Legion and playing role playing game is a game changer like Baldur's Gate. The screen makes a huge difference.
I knew you was going to have a change of heart with the legion go
I know this comes up a lot but I have never had stick drift on any controller or handheld device ever and I am going way back to Spectrum and C64 days for gaming, so have used a hella lot of controllers/joysticks. That's a long time and maybe I am doing something right, but stick drift is never something that concerns me.
Next video "I was right" all these creators making multiple videos just to cash in on the views lol.
@@silverpro8356 so if you think he not saying how he really feel about the product why watch his videos?
Like all youtubers do lol it's like a winning formula these days.
@@burger1113 so why you are watching his video? if you believe he just doing it for the views. 😂
I'm staying tuned!!! With you for S24 next year too!
I got y’all
I have a steam deck. Got it on release, it’s been brilliant. Even played FF online for months with it. Got bored of FF😂. Running BG3 was also possible. My mate got a Legion Go for a trip to Thailand. He showed it to me Sunday. I brought a Legion Go yesterday😂
Runs Borderland 3 like a dream and Rogue Trader works without a hitch. Super impressed.
People were hating on the onexplayer when it first dropped saying its screen was too big. Nice to see people are changing their minds now.
The screen size is great
@@CJKnowsTECH Oh I know it is. I pretty much own every Handheld PC prior to the legion. :)
Dont listen to kids.
@@karma9007 Thats the bottom line. :)
My legion go is getting delivered tomorrow. I mostly play on Series X but got a steam deck for work (i work nightshift security and need to pass time). I was wary of ditching the Steam deck for this but it does look like a beast, plus it has game pass and my "play anywhere" games.
the screen being portrait is a low commercial move by Lenovo, which had leftover stock of display from one of their tablet, model Y700. There is 100% certainty about this, because the display installed on the GO has the hole for the camera (on the right) and it has all four round corners, exactly as the Y700 display.
You’re right but they didn’t cheap out by investing on new screen print for the glass on top. I doubt the hole cutout was left just because of tha . Masking isn’t very expensive at all . Wouldn’t have costed more than a few pennies per device even on higher end I feel . The rest … you’re absolutely right anyways I’d trust Lenovo over ASUS for component quality . Have been having a bad time with ASUS with multiple products …. They’re just not like they used to beg
@Kamalchagla Don't get me wrong, I own the GO and I absolutely love it. In the last two years I had the Deck, the Ally and now the GO, and the latter is the most complete and advanced of all of them. The display is amazing for gaming and all other uses. The only thing, I am convinced that performance-wise, would have been more appropriate to have a FullHD 16:9 panel. Essentially because the AMD chipset is not powerful enough for resolutions higher than 1080p.
@@MyName-yi4wsfor whatever it’s worth that hole cutout is the light sensor and has nothing to do with a camera. The tablet you mentioned has completely different display specs also
as a console player that literally was just gifted a gaming laptop, i am struggling with using keys for movement.. will be happy for this as an option for controls
Yeah playing mouse and keyboard is a different world from controller 😂 and takes time to get used too
Just plug in a controller 😅
The great thing about the GO is that it is plug and play with an eGpu enclosure like my old Razer Core X Chroma, you only need to install Gpu drivers and that is it. An external display is good for work and hardcore gaming.
Becomes a full fledged battle station. I have seen only about 15 percent reduction in performance when I have compared the hardware to a similar old school desktop setup. I have tested a lot of hardware myself during the years and I find this to be my best setup.
The combination replaced my desktop and laptop and I sold them both. It was nice to able to put cash into savings.
The GO is perfect for me considering the size, 8.8 inches of good quality screen. Taking entertainment wehere I want to.
The Hall affect analogues are low key a standout feature too. No stick drift fears. Bliss.
The legion go power consumption is crazy. I have 2 portable batteries that are 25000mah each and between them I can barely get 6 hours. But it is by far my favorite device to use. I've been on it more than my gaming desk top
😂
An Oled and chip upgrade should help alot for a Go 2
It uses the exact same APU as is in the ROG Ally. The screen will use slightly more battery because it's not a VRR display but I can assure you the 50Whr battery vastly more than compensates for the refresh rate staying at 144hz instead of dropping it to 60hz.
The power consumption is fine you just need to know how to configure it to what is appropriate. Don't go cranking it to a custom TDP which will use anywhere between 32-37W of power or running at 240fps with an uncapped frame-rate.
If you're not getting good battery life it's because have configured something incorrectly.
@@TheModeRed If they make Oled then you will have eye strain and headaches to contend with from PWM.
@@Vanthil13 none of these handhelds have good battery life that can't even b denied
About to buy me a legion go! Your vid pushed me to do that! Was thinking of buying ally instead for the stability but you made me think otherwise!🔥 and i’m subscribing as well!
Make your OWN review vid. Or at LEAST update us here please!!
There is a new major update around the corner now for Lenovo Space and System menu. The leaked one today is a incomplete non functional release, so skip it.
For people new to handhelds, i love your advice to take time to find your grip. I had not played with a handheld since the original GameBoy back in the day, just got a Deck OLED and it took me a good 3-4 hours of gameplay to get comfortable and it wasn't a very good first impression. But giving it a little time made all the difference in the world and now i like it as much as my PS4 and PS5 controllers. Really considering the Go for it's bigger screen , great review, thanks and keep up the good work!
deadzones are in the legion space but they dont do anything till they activate them, new chipset and audio drivers came out yesterday,dec 13
It's a incomplete unofficial release. The real version is hopefully out this week.
My LGo came in a few days ago. Unfortunately it is being returned. I LOVE the screen. But the coil whine on the fan is the most uncomfortably annoying sound. My gf could even hear it at least 20ft away. Playing the same games that my deck oled plays completely silently. Sad because I was so hyped for that beautiful 8.8” screen.
What's the real reason for returning it? The deck is for poor people. nuff said
For the price right now. The ally is the better deal. 599$ new or 400$ open box is a steal
Appreciate this video so much!. I bought the Lenovo Legion go yesterday on an impulse when I saw in the store, I fell in love with the size of the screen and was trying to decide if I made a mistake and should’ve gotten one with the smaller screen. After watching your video. I feel much better about keeping it and will watch the rest of your Videos in the series. New subscriber here.
What up CJ? Just showing love for the algorithm 😂
Respect! I appreciate it
I both ally and legion go. The VRR doesn’t really make a change, I still tinker with allys graphic settings as much as legion go. It does not make any difference. I havent played with my Ally since I got my Legion go.
Which you recommend out of legion go and ally i am struggling deciding which one to get.
@silverpro8356 same here bro same here !! The screen size convinced me and the 1tb option
Which one you recommend ?
@@kyokushin1289 Legion Go is way better bro. Great for gaming! Detacheable controllers, right controller can be converted to a vertical mouse, big screen (makes a lot of difference). This made Ally so basic. And recent updates just made the legion go a beast as lenovo promised, more updates coming.
@chillvibes_6872 Thanks for answering !!
I’ve got the last several COD games on PS5 Or Series X, bur I’m thinking about getting the new one for play on my Legion Go. We’ll see I’m waiting until Christmas to open it.
I just purchased the legion go. I had the option of the legion go or the Ally and it was not easy picking what I wanted but I went with the legion go because it’s bigger and just looks better
Yeah it’s a tough decision
@@CJKnowsTECH not to mention the company was running a deal for it over the ally. I’ll also mention it’s better features than the ally
@@CJKnowsTECH but knowing Best Buy has open box models of the ally is tempting. I love your channel. Very wholesome
Can you post more gaming videos or start up a gaming channel? I appreciate your content.
Great Video man. I already own the Legion Go but I was on the fence originally between the Rog Ally and the Go. I got a super thin foldable keyboard to go along with my devise for whenever I just want to browse the web and use it as a computer. I am also able to carry the charging brick, keyboard and other cables in the case. How you ask? if you use an box cutter, you can cut up the case lining to reveal big pockets of air in the case (lol) I am able to store everything in there and I don't really think it compromises protection that much. Keep up the good work!
8.8 vrr oled would be perfection
absolutely
So would you say the legion go is better than the rog ally. Asking because am looking at both but want the one that's worth the money, especially for the gaming websites
Man I love your style, great job!
Thanks I appreciate you
It also has top and bottom usb ports. That helps so much.
Great point
Watching this video while playing on go 😎
Nice 😂
Thank u for the honesty this may be the one I grab
I am going to be getting a go next year saving me money by the time I get it I am hoping a lot of the issues will be ironed out
Thanks for your honest review….. I almost feel like people are being paid to trash talk the Legion Go to reduce the competition against steam deck and Rog Ally…. I am more in for the emulation, that’s my hobby… after your demo, I am confident the Go will do what I need
No problem my goal is to tell it how it is regardless. Glad I could help
We should be good to go once these December -January updates drop .
The beta for the new update just came out so were still on track
I totally played Doom on PC with a joystick. I’m old XD
10:45 oh well, it looks like my 300W Ugreen GaN charger come into handy 😂
Bro plays Call of Duty better on the Lenovo Legion GO than I do on my laptop
I am getting one of these mainly for emulation of Ps2 amd Gamecube games and below and the large screen for my eyes is perfect (yes I'm a 50 year old Doom player 😂) so this will tick all the boxes with the ability to play windows and steam games if I want.
Subbed. Great consumer viewpoint.
Really want to get this, still waiting til MSI Claw release somewhere 1H 2024 to see the review on the final product, if not good than I might get Legion Go instead
I have patience, but the Deadzone Issue is wearing my patience thin. I've had mine since right after launch.
Frankly, I wouldn't recommend any handheld pc to people who expect it to act like a Switch. I like how this market is growing more mainstream but it is still a bit niche. Almost all of these require some level of tinkering to get them running at optimal performance across most games.
Do you think this will be a Best purchase
Still can't play it unless you play games that only requires dpad. Deadzone not included in update once again.
Tomorrows update.
awsome video. Is there any chance you can post your keybinds for FPS mode?
legion go is one of the best handheld and will be for a while. I love my legion go, it's crazy what it can do.
The out of the box experience of the Legion Go is terrible. They have made improvements since, but it's still rubbish.
Once you get used to it, however, and learn how it works, it's a pretty good device. I'm not sure I'd describe it as a handheld though. It's ok on a desk, with the controllers detached but that's about it.
That said, I'm happy with mine.
Curious more about the fps mode. I am still using my steam controller to play fps games on my couch. I have yet to see a video that shows off how good the gyro+stick is with this.
I'm glad you changed your opinion, as I always felt strong about this device, and I said the screen size is perfect. Legion don't need VRR, the size of the screen is what you want on a handheld. For one, you can see a lot more without squinting an eye thinking you saw something the display is amazing and the FPS of games are top notch, just wait when the major updates roll in when changing the Ram from 4 to 6 is going to be the best, making things run even smoother.
It’s not a handheld it’s too heavy the ally is a better handheld
You can change vram to 6GB already in BIOS.
There will be an auto option in the future
"don't need VRR" is a cope. Got both Ally and Go and the difference in how games feel is drastically different even though both play most AAA games at like mid 40s fps. Go feels very jerky in comparison. Mind you, I wanted to love Go because the large screen is very immersive which is why I got it despite having Ally. I might have liked it better if I also didn't have Ally to compare with, which is more mature handheld with less bugs and crashes and Armory Crate is 10000% better than Legion Space.
@@BalaKrishna-bq5iz that’s what I’m saying just sell the go keep the ally also the z1 isn’t meant for that big of screen and 1600P
Lenovo did overkill on that 1080p and 7 to 8in is fine remember the bigger the screen and res the more the processor has to work to push those pixels which can also decrease performance
@@theo5675 With integer scalling LeGo is a better option than ally as it scales AAA games to 1600P with more than playable fps
Regarding software quarks, it will all get fixed, people are way to inpatient, like they forgot what kind of bugs plagued both the ally and even the steam deck
We said it to you. WAIT FOR THE UPDATES....
Here’s the dead zone update video: th-cam.com/video/Gi6wIwT0Z48/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C72rsUI7A0CPyYv3
I have legion go, with 1tb of storage and a 2nd 1tb sd card, and its great... but... the lack of a fully working holoiso/steamos/chimeraos is a buzzkill. I'm still getting it to work on my own but its a whole lot of trying it and seeing if it works. It will be nice if they just release steamos for it at some point cause windows sucks.
It’s a windows machine? You can do whatever you want?
@@DenyTheZeitgeist Not exactly, if "what ever you want" includes something not windows, then you can but it will be limited.
FPS mode is nice with World of Warships
Good video. What power bank do you recommend?
Does it act like the regular desktop PC ? As in browsing and downloading games over the internet and modding them ?
Yep, it's a pc :)
Straight up pc. It’s not a console, you can do whatever you can do on a desktop.
Dude, have you tried Battlefield 2042 on this thing? It is mind blowing!
Next video "I was right" all these creators making multiple videos just to cash in on the views lol.
An idiot question but il ask anyway as i have n9 clue about these things.. but is it possible to log into my xbox account on this and play games i uave brought on the MS store
Yes, u can
I feel like a lot more videos are gonna come out like this
Agreed.
To be honest, I got the Legion Go after I get my ROG Ally is because the elegant sexy looking, all the features like FPS mode and also a bigger screen. But the most important reason is because of wanted to test out, giving a chance to Lenovo ( as having terrible experience with Lenovo product ) and also because my ROG Ally was 1st batch and never use the SD card before... When I try to use for the 1st time it done nothing, so I was planning to get a temporary replace device as sending the ROG Ally to RMA. But to compare both more "Plug and Play", Legion Go has no compare to Ally... Legion Go currently you need to spend decent amount of time try to figure it out how to deal with drivers and bugs such as update graphic driver and adrenaline software disappear, FPS counter forever maintain 0 and etc. For Ally I had no problem with that, just update and good to go... Oh and one more thing on Legion Go is my right controller is getting loose after detached and attach after using... Really disappointed
Been a sub since you started the channel with the galaxy Note You have always been💯 videos. I appreciate that much bro good video as always.💪🏾 and glad to see your growth
I appreciate the long time support it means a lot
@@CJKnowsTECHabsolutely bro 🙏🏾
what about working on this device? can i work and play with ith?
Okay hold up. The only game I can't get to run on my Legion Go so far is Sonic Frontiers. How did you get that running so well?
Love my Legion Go!
Who is the best at playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3?
debating on pick one up in 4 hours...
I think it needs vrr. I am happy with the rog ally. But I wanted the go because of the controllers for one, and I thought It would be more powerful.
It’s the same chip
@@theo5675 nah . It runs games worse because vrr is a game changer. Starfield is okay on the ally on the go it's not okay it's bad
Dude vrr doesn’t do sht. I have both ally and go. I dont play with Ally anymore. Its all in your mind, vrr dont do anything
@@loitersquadX give it time it will outperform the Rog ally faste ram man better performance
@@loitersquadXTried starfield today, and it runs exactly like it did on my legion 5 pro rtx 3070, before I sold it in favor of the go. The only difference is I play on medium instead of high, but on such a small screen you doesn't notice anyway.
Close ur eyes..now imagine lil wayne rating electronics
Typical TH-camr video after 30 days….. “why I was wrong” “why I’m return it” “why I reordered” ufff
👏🏻 it's called fickle lol
So we aren't allowed to change our opinion? That said, an obvious clickbait title. That said, researching these I want to know if people change devices and why.
@@JamieR So predictable ha ha
Typical hater😂😂😂😂
@@Thenoob3336 Typical obtrusive
Great video! Subscribed 🙏
Thanks
The legion go is too awesome true story
There is a difference of 250 usd between them, which is better
What power bank do you use?
Me getting this beast to play binding of Isaac 😂
Got this for call of duty and I’m happy
Nice glad you’re happy with it
@@CJKnowsTECH btw nice review. Gonna follow
you're not Markus Brownlee....
Use the thunderbolt 4 Lenovo dock it works perfect.
Tbr everyone is they trashed it in the beginning with clickbait titles and either sent it back or grew to love it. Mind you everyone no device is perfect in the beginning thats why people usually wait a yr to cop electronics
I saw a lot of "returning" videos but when I grabbed it I already knew Lenovo had plans to address certain things in future updates so my intentions are to be patient and see where they take it...
Great review! Subscribed
Wish it came in white
I know Dbrand skins can change it. Might grab one to showcase 🤔
Can you play with an Xbox controller ?
Yup!
♥♥♥♥♥ love your vids CJ :)
Thank you
Now that people started buying and seeing this device blows everything else out of the water, these youtubers are starting with the tipical "I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE LENOVO LEGION GO".
Relax! 😂 I been doing major research and knew everything before even starting this content journey…
Lmao ain’t nothing wrong with being wrong and admitting to it honestly. Also the legion go blowing everything else out the water is being dramatic, hence the reason why many people/youtubers weren’t enjoying it as much at first, Lenovo just wasn’t providing critical updates, but now they are and people can tell 💯
Have you been shadowed banned in MWIII? I wanna play it on the go and I'm interested in buying a Lenovo Go but I dont wanna buy it just to get shadowed banned.
Also Have you tested Geforce Now?
That only happens on the ALLY
@@joetaylor6117 Not true. one of most popular reddit posts of the legion go is about how people were getting banned when playing CoD
right after getting dropship links ready you easily changes your mind fr 😂
Legion space is awful compared to rog ally,can't even record gameplay or see battery percentage in numbers in the battery icon....
Does it come with a Windows license?
Great review!
But why does everything you say sound like a question LOL
Deadzone update just dropped
I don't care about VRR on a handheld.
i see you got the packet burst issue to cj and i know you ent got no shitty internet cod need to address this man but turning on on demand texture streaming makes it less laggy
who's here from that was epic video
Fire 🔥 video
Gonna get me one
Just set deadzone with steam
woah your camera is nice damn
dude got inspired by Umberto eco
I'm only here because of Juan
1:06 thats what she said
Not that impressive watching video of legion go nothing like rog ally guys
