Asus ROG Ally X vs Lenovo Legion Go: Which should you BUY?

[@ZeusZe7en]

Legion Go look way more attractive with its larger display, larger resolution and detachable controller.

[@SJETV]

Super excited for the ROG Ally X. I might be insane preordered it for music production. I missed out on the original Ally but more RAM, more space and more battery? I seem to have stumbled upon the ROG Ally X at the perfect time. I have an Odin 2, a PS4 and a Switch but my laptops are too old to run Steam games well. I'm getting this ROG Ally X to use FL Studio on mobilly and also play some games I can't play anywhere else like "Fading Afternoon" or "Palworld" with my friends or the new Sonic and Dragon Ball games when they come out. I was gonna get a dock and turn this thing into my new lortable desktop. I already have a screen and keyboard/mouse. I'm super excited to cook up some tracks on here and also play a few games too. My friends are saying I'm crazy for buying this instead of a laptop or a desktop. But I wanted something more portable & it seems to be able to do everything I want it to do. I'm not a super huge gamer so I won't be playing a lot of FPS games or any od the huge flagship titles. Maybe some anime games as they release and some light emulation that I can't do on my Odin 2. I hope I don't regret my purchase 😭

[@user-hk7iy2vt5y]

It would be interesting to see a video on you using the Ally X for music production. I enjoy video editing on my iPad over my far more powerful PC setup so it's not that crazy, just more convenient 😂

[@theflippestside]

The ally X has. 1tb ssd, not 512gb…

he also mentioned that the ally x is heavier than the legion go 🤔

[@eglenceli_videolar]

Legion Go is huge and has less battery, not really a good option for on-the-go. The X is more portable, no need to worry about a powerbank and you can easily throw it in a sling bag and have fun with it wherever you are

[@cynicaltruth7486]

Legion Go is better. Ally heats up and runs your SD. Legion has better performance

@@whichisbettr Edit your video again. There are incorrect things about the weight comparison of the devices, and you are also giving incorrect information about the storage space and misleading people, and even giving incomplete information about the sd card. People criticize you in the comments about these three situations. One last thing, in terms of technical support, you should read the comment that legion go only received one update in 4 months. You should mention this situation in the video. Sorry for my bad English.

[@kruger2635]

But the driver support for thr Legion Go is so poor, Like the device has received like 1 update in thr past 4 months..

I have the Legion and it's a game changer ...the screen is very large and vividly looks amazing compared to the Oled ..Triple A titles, it plays very well...battery is decent, but it doesn't matter to me when I use a 100w charging brick very fast charging ...Legion 👊🏽😂

[@danielc3029]

Another thing worth mentioning is that the original Ally’s speakers already beat the Legion’s by a mile if that’s a factor you care about.

[@NexXxus86]

Ally X has better storage options with m.2 2280 being cheaper and better available. Legion go has 2242, which are rare on the market and a lot more expensive, although you can use a 2230 with an adapter if you're willing to take the risk.

[@JuneYT89]

The things I like about the Lenovo legion Go are the detachable controllers, the 8.8 inch display and the 2 USB4 ports. I wish the Asus ROG Ally X had these features 😭

[@causerDAguv]

As a happy Rog Ally owner the only thing that interested me in the Legion Go was the touch pad and the 2 usb 4 ports for the external gpu but now Asus has gotten rid of that stupid propriety port and to be honest the way I use it I don't need a TouchPad. More Ram just seals the deal for me and at sometimes I'll pick one up.

[@thundergato84]

And the ROG Ally X uses a M.2 2280. I can upgrade to a 4TB for a good price.

[@abdulbasit4660]

One important thing you missed out on the resolution is Ally X has VRR and legion go doesn't. IMO 1080p with VRR> 2k no VRR

[@jhonrock2386]

ABSOLUTELY!!! None of these devices has the hardware capability to run games at decent graphical quality with smooth/stable framerate, so, the VRR function is an absolute must have for, at least, alleviate the unstable framerate problem. And the VRR on ROG Ally is quite the good one cuz it works on all the refresh rate range supported by it's screen, from 1 to 120hz, which can make even 30'ish fps games a little bit more tolerable. I got myself exceptionally impressed when I saw what the combo VRR + 40fps + 120hz can do to the "framerate smoothness experience".

[@blastu2fool]

VRR don't matter when it comes to Legion, it runs very smooth

[@justswitched8841]

Technically no 1080p is not better than 2k resolution. 2k res is noticeably sharper than 1080p. I have an og ally and compared both.Also what you can run on it depends on the game. Plenty of older triple aaa and 2d games run great at 2k res and have 60 plus fps. Also if you do emulation retro games look waaay better on the legion due to the resolution and screen size. Also Vrr doesn't really make that much of difference if you use the right settings you'll get 60 plus fps in most games on the legion. Also combine with frame gen I rarely see fps below 60. Also Vrr only works from 48hz and up.

[@paulsegrue5133]

​​​​@@justswitched8841The Ally has low framerate compensation so if framerates drop below 48fps it duplicates frames to fit into the 48hz to 120hz VRR range. Games run great on the Ally even in the 30fps because of LFC. Personally I have been using Gsync monitors and compatible TVs for years. I am not a fan of Vsync especially if you are struggling to hit a target framerate. Latency or stuttering is poor, I noticed this with the 144hz portable 15 inch monitor I use with the Ally, the framerates are much smoother on the Ally's VRR screen.

[@jhonrock2386]

@@justswitched8841 First, OP didnt say 1080p was better than 2K, he said he would prefer 1080p with VRR than 2k without it. Second, the VRR on Ally acts through all the refresh rate range of its screen, from 1 to 120. Even if, "today", you can still play "any" game on these devices at stable 60fps, its not certain that the same will also happen "tomorrow". And when this "tomorrow" comes, the VRR will give the Ally a slightly longer life span, because it will let you run games under 60fps with a bit more confort to the eyes. Watching several Go, Ally and Claw reviews (Im deciding which one to buy), Ive been seeing on the comment sections some people already complaining that their Steam Deck isnt delivering a satisfactory gameplay experience in newer games anymore.

[@joeygarcia6647]

Had them both ally x is better and kept that. The only thing i miss on the go is the bigger screen.

[@Cenkolino]

The Allys display has VRR. Its a huge plus BUT the size is simply too small. The Legion Go has the PERFECT screensize for Windows and gaming in general. I cant go back to a 7 inch display. VRR or not. And the 16:10 Format is perfect for retro games, since they fill up the screen nicely and look HUGE on the Legion Go.

[@ardschuna88]

I own the top non-OLED Steamdeck and the ROG Ally, but meanwhile upgraded with a 2TB SSD. Is it worth to expand my collection with an Ally X? 900 bucks for more battery life - maybe an extern battery is good enough... xD But more RAM could be useful for some future games... Well, I guess I'll stick to my non-X Ally... :)

[@jocg9168]

I have Legion Go one thing on display is actually based on vertical display so is really annoying in some games like issues to be full screen and other stuff like that is big and cool but annoying sometimes. Ally because is horizontal display screen and with VRR we have less of those issues and pretty smooth.

[@groslait7814]

legion only 500$ in my country and it is a tablet without controller ,performance is the same

I have a Steam Deck, Legion Go, and now I'm going to buy the Ally X, then I'll decide which one its better, but I think the 80Wh it a winner feature. I don't like to play 1.30 hs and have to charge the handheld.

[@arpadpetruszka1185]

I'm sorry but you missed a huge difference between the two devices. While the ally X has VRR the Legion Go is not.. In this size 2k or full HD is not make a big difference. But the VRR as the game runs much fluid is a red flag. Because its a gaming device and want to enjoy and we dont need detachable controller because if I need just grab an Xbox controller and good to go. Nobody use the mouse. Noone.

Your not paying for the extra screen. You are paying for the Extra/faster Memory and doubled Battery. Also it was not mentioned that you can easily replace the SSD in the Ally X with a Standard Gen 4 NVME SSD. I am going to put in my old 2TB 980 pro SSD.
