The New 2023 Lenovo Legion Y700 Tablet Is Also A Gaming PC EMU Machine! Desktop Mode

[@user-vo3ps2oz7h]

I wish more companies would make a proper ipad mini competitor like this one. We dont really have much 8” powerful tablets in the market

[@quchi7232]

Yeah. If only Samsung put a flagship specs on a Tab A9 body. Would be great.

[@jhovo2008]

La culpa la tiene el (miserable) ataque de USA a Huawei, la empresa china hacía tabletas (de excelente calidad) para competir con todas las versiones de iPad incluido el ipad Mini

[@CarlosAMaldonado]

let's be honest, ipad in general got no real competitors right now if we talk about software, android tablets are just a joke when we compare them with what the ipad got: adobe photoshop ("decaf"), illustrator(decaf too), full pc port of affinity photo and designer, full pc port of clip studio paint(this one is in android too), davinci resolve, logic pro x, final cut pro. Android got pretty good hardware, the snapdragon 8v2 is a beast (not as good as the m1/m2) the only thing is missing is real software, the only thing android got well done is emulation, psp, gc/wii, ps1 and 2, and switch, those are pretty good platforms to emulate, other than that android is pretty limited.

@amielmalik2245 well android os in any of its forms its pretty good, but tell me, what pro apps can be used on android right now? ipadOS got Logic Pro X and FinalCut Pro, affinity designer and painter, adobe photoshop and illustrator, DaVinci Resolve, Clip Studio Paint, now tell me, what's on android? just clip studio, there are no pro apps on android yet

Have Y700 for Chinese market with Snapdragon 870. (12/256). This is a best multimedia machine for me in small form factor. Wanna retro games - easy. Web surfing - sure! Any video or audio - of course. No throttle, everything working fine! ❤

[@Jock1971]

Got that as well a month before this was released 😔 I've still to set it up past the initial start from changing it to English as default language, still to get play store and services up and running and set up daijisho for a gaming experience for my little boy, is ps2 good at 2x?

@@Jock1971 yep. You can try also 3x

[@Krixzenz]

Any issues at all? I really want one but I’m a little anxious.

[@KirillFox]

@@Krixzenz everything still work perfectly! One thing at all: I never update it. Next firmware is worse than current one (some useful features have been cut out). So if this is not an obstacle - grab it!

[@Krixzenz]

@@KirillFox Shouldnt be an issue so long as I can get maybe 5+ years of use outta it. I have smol hands and this is the only viable option with any actual performance. Thank you

[@tehpunisher4568]

Companies really need to go back to making more devices in this form factor I genuinely loved my Nvidia shield k1 I was in the market for another small tablet with modern specs. Unfortunately because there isn't an explicit American version sold here in the States My wife didn't let me get the original y700 and instead I got a Galaxy tab S8 which while I do really like I still miss the small form factor. Seeing that a device like this exists now I might actually pick one up if my desire for the legion Go didn't exist.

[@tehpunisher4568]

@@jponz85 while I still do have mine, the battery life suffers from all the background stuff going on. If I use it airplane mode it's runs well if a bit slow but connect it to Wi-Fi and boom everything falls apart. But everything else about it was perfect! I genuinely miss the form factor.

[@leemacklin2948]

I bought this over New Years and I'm mighty impressed. It was a close call with the RP4+ coming out, but with the media and desktop functionality of this it seemed like a no brainer. I did find that for some odd reason I did have an issue running Pal Roms/EUR Bios on AetherSX2; the game would stutter often, apparently when a new noise was introduced (playing GTA ran fine until a NPC shouted at you, and the game momentarily would drop to 45% speed for a frame or 2. However when I moved to US Roms/Bios it runs perfect

[@xljx8304]

I have this and got no complaints,just wished it had slightly larger battery as processor draws much power.

[@silveradonkus2354]

what a missed opportunity for the legion tablets in my opinion

[@nishikun867]

Yeah even my phone (not tablet) has 7000mAh battery

[@ShiroKage-h8v]

Honestly it is not a problem since it has bypass charging

[@waltwright84]

I got this and a (not great but functional) Ipega telescopic controller. It actually works really well, and in portrait mode DS and 3DS emulation is really excellent. I wish there was a higher-quality telescopic controller that can accommodate a tablet this size in landscape and portrait orientations... I've looked at a lot but the Ipega was the only one that could go wide enough for landscape orientation.

[@dawnyfrogmouth]

I'd recommend looking at RetroBreeze's review of the GameSir G8 Galileo controller. He shows how you can mod it to handle a tablet in landscape. Sadly it connects via usb c, so you can't use it with a vertical tablet.

[@MrSkeeper25]

[@vigil4812]

You should try BSP-D8 bro. $20 for hall effect joystick and analog trigger. I just got it for a few days and it really good for the price, except the cheap plastic shell.

[@Jock1971]

​@@vigil4812I don't think the bsp d8 fits this size of tablet

[@vigil4812]

@@Jock1971 It fit my 11 inch iPad, still able to stretch some more. It should handle Y700 without problem. There is a D8 review video that the reviewer guy also use it with the Y700.

I owned this for a few months but I swapped it out for ayn Odin 2. I like the handheld console feel more than the high refresh rate of the legion y700.

[@eiceys4612]

can you turn off the display of the tablet in extended mode with the odin 2 ?

[@HOUSTONERS420]

Performance wise, any major upgrades? I assume the y700 can play everything Odin2 can?

This type of setup is the future. You take one device and dock it up and you can work or play from anywhere.

[@majamoore6209]

It would be great to see a comparison video about the Lenovo Legion Go vs. the Y700

[@tauhidmilenko9116]

When in extended screen mode, can the screen on the tablet be turned off?

[@bonaventura_AKA_ben]

It’s a trip going this route for a desktop. What’s cool is you can take your desktop system with you and play away from home. Which leads to if ETA has ever tried this desktop idea with an Odin 2 which is cheaper than the tablet and has the Gen 2 processor. Not sure if the Gen 1 can play all GameCube and PS2 games well, like the Gen 2 Snapdragon can.

[@zerocal76]

6:48 why hello there senor ETA Prime 👋😄

[@mattdavis9601]

I know I'm a day late; but, I just want to say that I enjoyed this showcase video. I think I write this every time ETA covers a Lenovo tablet; but, the company really should rationalize their brands. Lenovorola needs to refocus Lenovo as their exclusive home of Windows and desktop Linux devices; and make Motorola their exclusive home of Android products. Both can share the Legion and Think sub-brands as needed. Anecdotally; but, it seems to me that people like to keep their tablets and phones from the same manufacturer, if they can, so having a split product line is probably costing them sales. Another thing that is costing them sales is their decision to not send things like the Y700 to the US in an official capacity with a warranty. I'd imagine that this combination of size, price, and performance is perfect for lots of people, not just gamers. But; how are they supposed to know that this exists in the first place?

[@Atharun18999]

If they officially released this here, it would sell like crazy!

[@Ezio470]

This with the gamesir G8 controller would be awesome.

[@zerocal76]

Was looking at that exact combo and its too heavy. 685 grams to be exact or 1.5 lbs I think that's heavier than the big-ass Legion Go 😵

[@daysgone3950]

Using Moto Edge S Pro as mini PC, for Geeks full screen desktop mode is an advantage of Lenovo/Moto.

[@imho6645]

How about lenovo y70?

[@itx_Nero]

this thing is making me rethink my decision of wanting to buy the tab s9 ultra

[@chrisbullock6477]

Me and my wife needed to replace our 5 year old tablets and decided to go big when we spotted a good Black Friday on two Samsung S8 Ultra Tablets for $600 each so it will be my emulation and game streaming tablet for a while. And its basically a super portable laptop as well with a Folio Case

[@Imperatorz]

The problem with this is the audio. If you set audio to 'from tablet' and it's connected to a Bluetooth speaker, it doesn't route properly. The sound still comes out from the tablet. But if it's Bluetooth headphone or earbuds, it routes correctly. I've tested on different speakers same result. No one mentions this.

[@imho6645]

I have a question sir, can i turn off the screen on y700 tablet while i using it on monitor (extended mode)? And can i activate bypass charging in this scenario?

[@Imperatorz]

@@imho6645 no sir its not dex, u cant turn off the screen. For me, i just dim it to the max.

[@1030eev]

This hands down is the best tablet in this size!

[@CragScrambler]

Cracking little tablet, I was looki g to replace my Galaxy tab 8 plus with so.ethi g of equal power but smaller for when I travel as an media/entertainment device and this fit the bill nicely, Ordered sealed 16gb/512gb with the chinese rom via AliXpress to the UK £280 🇬🇧 with zero problems, no import costs and was here in under 10 days, with an free glass screen protector and official airflow case (Bit flimsy tbh). Easy to uninstall the bloatware and use Nova launcher, malware scans came back clean and im well happy tbh, not since the old 7inch google play tablet of old have I been so happy. 😂 In the next version perhaps having GPS module and maybe OLED screen would be things to improve. But a perfect little compact high power media device for travelling with.

When I connected it to the TV, for a long time I couldn’t understand why everything was so twitchy on both screens there you need to select the output resolution and refresh rate in the broadcast settings,I advise you to set it to 120Hz when choosing a high frequency, because some have noticed a bug that at 144Hz the picture may flicker and disappear

[@heyzackofficial]

Hi, is it possible to set the refresh rate of it at 144hz even though the monitor is 60hz? Ot it won't allow you as it detect that the monitor is only 60hz?

[@svenabend360]

At some point you start to realise these videos aren’t reviews but more adverts instead.

[@mattdavis9601]

A while back I saw a commenter refer to ETA's videos as showcases and I really liked that description. He showcases tech products and some of the cool stuff they can do. I don't look at what he does as real reviews, and I don't mean that as an insult either. I get a lot of value out of ETA by using his showcases as a filter. If he can't make something seem interesting and adequate for my uses in under ten minutes then I know to not waste my time watching much longer full length reviews elsewhere.

[@giftbox-e]

Is your monitor the new redmagic 27inch 5088 Dimming Zones!??! If yes, PLEASE GIVE US A REVIEW VIDEO

[@ddvantandar-kw7kl]

Great review global version?

[@srvuk]

Not too bad, all things considered but I can't get away from the fact that a vendor with less purchasing power is offering a Gen2 SOC onboard for only $299. Whilst the different USB video mirroring modes are useful, there is no scaling options with the first 2, which would make the functionality more useful in obtaining full screen remote display. I also don't think that the additional 4Gb RAM and 256Gb storage is worth the extra $100.

[@alphacompton]

It looks like the Legion desktop mode is a lot better than Dex, is that true? Lenovo's support 4K and it looks like you can resize and use almost anything where I get restrictions for some apps on my Samsung Galaxy S23. Some apps just don't seem to work in Dex mode or work weird like Discord where the enter button doesn't send a message but starts a new line. Dex also seems like it only supports up to around 1440p.

[@_Digitalguy]

Dex is just as good, you can resize everything with Labs and it does support 4k. I haven't tried it on my S23 but on my S8 ultra and S9 works perfectly

[@mattdavis9601]

Don't forget that Lenovo owns Motorola. So, if you like the Legion's desktop mode then you'll really like ReadyFor, which is what Lenovo calls the desktop mode it ships in Motorola phones. I think I write this every time ETA covers a Lenovo tablet; but, the company really should rationalize their brands. Lenovorola should refocus Lenovo as the exclusive home of Windows and desktop Linux devices and make Motorola their exclusive home of Android products. Both can share the Legion and Think sub-brands as needed.
