    Hi friends! After posting this video, it dawned onto me that the Start and Menu buttons are on the left because it would be difficult to push it while in FPS mode. Also, I think that It still could be posted at a higher point on the right controller. It just feels awkward to me with all of it being on the left. What do you guys think?

    I've been wanting one of these so bad. But everything in my GUT is telling me to wait. It just feels like one of those devices that tries to promise too much but ends up sacrificing the most important thing, practicality. Which is probably why everyone is still recommending the steam deck oled still. Best battery life, reasonable power and most importantly a functional OS. If only Windows had a good mobile OS. I'd pick this up today.

    I'm pretty happy to see that most of these issues are software related, and lenovo being the large company they are will certainly fix them. The Ally had a pretty rocky launch, and the Go has had a smoother one than that. I'll probably pick one up once a few more updates come, but even since launch I've heard the experience is drastically improved.

    • @baldlyrudy

    The competition for portable PCs is really heating up. Kinda makes me think Nintendo’s next console will still be Switch-like but will have to do something really unique in order to stand out. I know they are not direct competitors but handheld gaming in general seems to be on the rise.

    I think you might underestimate the versatility of this device as you mostly focused on the handheld gaming aspect. But this device can be a pretty cool "all-in-one" device for someone who wants to have something that can be used in many different ways : 1) as a mini pc for the office / travel since it has a nice sturdy stand included and it runs with windows 11 and can connected to a second office screen with hdmi , 2) as a tablet with android capabilities, 3) as a gaming handheld with cloudgaming or just retro gaming, 4) as a console that can be connected to TV for couch gaming with the detachable controls (and maybe a third party will sell a device to connect them like with the switch. Now obviously if you have all of those things already in your house (a PC, a Tablet, a PS5, a Steamdeck or another handheld) then you wouldn't buy this clearly. BUT if you don't have all those things and you want an "all in one" version at a cool price, then this seems pretty cool and i can't think of another device that tries to do all this at once (are there any?). The other devices you mention like the steamdeck or the Asus can't do that.

      This was actually a huge selling point for me in getting one. As a father now, I wanted something portable that could replace my aging Xbox one and get me into PC gaming. I didn't want a laptop but my current one is extremely outdated. Because of the kickstand and the removable controllers this went from purchasing a $750 toy that's only good for handheld gaming to something that with a couple accessories could be a PC handheld, a gaming console, a small psudo-laptop and a somewhat heavy tablet. The versatility made justifying the purchase really easy and that wouldn't have happened with any other PC handheld on the market right now.

      @@dadou193 I’ll tell you my experience. When gaming and playing not demanding games like GTA V you don’t hear the fan. This said I love to play using headphones because it’s a better experience independently of the device you use. Then if you are going to play one of those games where you need power then maybe you can hear the fan but.. you are going to need to plug the machine so I just connect it to the tv and from the distance the experience is pretty awesome. In handheld mode I play other kind of games. About the ergonomics… I don’t think that even this big battery will let you play a game until you feel any pain in your hands at all. It’s very comfortable. For me coming from a switch.. this is gold.. even the speakers sound awesome

    Those cheapy docks off Amazon don’t always play nice with the ally or legion go. I got a Lenovo thunderbolt 4 universal dock, yes it’s a little pricey, but works flawless the second u plug it in all the usb ports are powered and u have 3 display options. I bought the rog ally official dock, the plug thing, I tried every monitor and tv I have with several different plugs and I couldn’t get a picture. Idk what the issue is with the cheaper docks, if seamless desktop experience is important to you, go for the Lenovo dock

    Quick question... I travel a lot for work and it would be great to have the Legion Go for many hours in the aircraft. Any idea if it charges when connected to the airline's provided USB ports located on each seat? Does it supply enough "juice"? Thanks.

    • @baldlyrudy
      @baldlyrudy  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think a USB port on an airplane provides enough power off the top of my head. You'd need something around 45w for most PC handhelds.
      But, I am going to be traveling in a few months for work. I'll probably take something with me for my downtime to play. I'll give some PC handheld a go then.

      Not sure about other people, but a lot of the problems that I had with it would be fixed with the release of other versions of those "True Strike" controllers.
      As someone else said in the comments, the chances are slim that they'll do that since the user base might end up being small. Might as well look ahead, IMO.

    We all want big screens, great battery life, light weight, play all the games and run smooth with no issues but that’s never going to happen at least not in the near future, I’ll take something heavier and thicker for a better experience because something that’s 7 inches is just not big enough, I have the switch OLED and i wish it was bigger. I just hope Microsoft makes windows better for portable gaming because that interface is a huge turn off.

      The best decision Lenovo could do would be to make the detachable controllers their calling card in the PC handheld market going forward. If a legion go 2 would come out a few years down the road with the exact same controller mechanism it would unlock a ton of potential for 3rd party support.

      the legion go and rog ally perform extremely similar in battery life and just for reference i did a test myself yesterday, played dead cells on my ally at 7w, 50 percent brightness, 50 percent volume and i managed to get just about 4 hours out of it... thats a best case scenario, the legion go would do very very well to match that with a bigger display requiring a bigger backlight even with a very slightly bigger battery. For comparison the steam deck oled can reportedly get just over 10 hours in the same game and situation.... its not even close.
      You are right they all have shit battery at full tilt, thats just the reality but even not at full tilt and in the best case scenario these things are nowhere near steam deck oled... on my OG deck the best i managed was around 7 hours playing huntdown... another easy game ofcourse but again there is almost no chance ally or legion go is getting there.

There are ways to play them but you'll be limited compared to the legion go or the ally in terms of power. I have the legion go and I have been loving it so far I do not regret my purchase at all.
