Alas I understood - Lenovo placed their gaming tablet screen into this PC handheld. It's called Lenovo Y700 and has exact same specs and borders. So it was hard to explain why they did 1600p 144 hz display. Now we know :)

[@Armand79th]

I have noticed that it does indeed struggle a little with the typical lack of optimisation in certain "AAA" titles. It's definitely more than capable of throwing pixels at max resolution if you are at least realistic with the games selection.

[@DavidRodriguez-kc8kd]

I did a bunch of tunning to the speskers and also bought some legion go accessories and a external 20,000 mah battery and it is a beast and amazing i take traveling with me everywhere i go and i have limit the weight of talking my laptop with me everywhere i go. I Love the flexibility if the go, I hate a mouse and small keyboard with me and bought the jsaux attachment for the controllers and also the comfort grips from etsy and Its been life changer. I must add i did not buy the Legion Go for 700 i bought it second hand for 450 $ and at that price with and without its short comings i consider it to be a steal.

[@Squesus]

I had an Asus Zephryus G15 fail on me after 18 months which is why I needed a new computer. I got the Legion Go because I needed Windows and wanted to avoid Asus. No regrets at all after 1 year, love it!

[@Strugglin]

Speakers sound awesome you need to go into sound and turn off audio enhancments to off .. for whatever reason thats turned on and thats why your speakers dont sound good

[@JBone_Capone]

Got mine in April. Love it. Just wish it had more RAM, had the power to really utilize the 1600p resolution, and lenovo would spend more time pushing updates for legion space and their proprietary drivers. Otherwise? I’m playing every game I own with a few tweaks here and there to improve performance when needed. Anxious to see what the LeGo 2 offers, and hoping they have a good trade-in program haha.

[@KillerCam1020]

Gen 2 handhelds are really going to open a lot of peoples eyes i feel

[@JBone_Capone]

@@KillerCam1020 I agree. I’m ready to see what they offer with the next gen, but I don’t think it’ll happen for a while until the next line of APU’s is available. Until then, I’m perfectly content with my LeGo. For a handheld? It’s a monster.

[@thatsmean2929]

I’d be fine if the resolution was 800p and they focused more on battery life.

[@JBone_Capone]

@@thatsmean2929 I may be too. And truth be told, I normally play on 1200p at 60hz. I’m usually near an outlet, so the battery life isn’t so much an issue so much as it is being able to utilize the resolution and refresh rate with sacrificing performance on newer titles. If they upped the ram, and put an 80 watt battery in it? It would smoke all the other handhelds in my opinion.

[@nepaliprayasgurung2594]

​@@JBone_CaponeI'm about to buy Lenovo Legion Go aswell but I'm waiting for Christmas Day and Boxing day sale when everything will get huge reduction in price. So is it worth it especially the screen is amazing and it has way more powerful hardware then my Deck OLED. How's the battery life. *I couldn't help myself but sneaking in your conversation I also play many AAA games on lower resolution and then use upscaling to get better battery life and frame rate. And once I get my Legion Go ill be doing the same thing. So if lower the resolution and play games using FSR and other upscaling tech. Then how long will I get the battery life on let's say WWE 2k24 which I play alot?*

Hello, I had ROG Ally and now I have Legion GO. People are trying to compare LEGO to Ally, Steam deck and maybe Claw, but the LEGO is just different type of device. The handhelds I mentioned are more like compact gaming machines meant for comfortable and long playing sessions, they are better for use while travelling. But LEGO is more like mix of handheld, tablet and laptop, it sacrifies some things to be more universal solution. The other handhelds may have better battery, they may be more comfortable to hold, they may have more stable UI, but with LEGO you just enjoy its great and bigger screen, you enjoy to use it as tablet for productivity and watching videos more. When compared to ROG Ally, it is heavier and Asus armory was better, Ally felt more like gaming handheld, but the screen is really nice, detaching controllers are nice to have and if you use LEGO home, where you can use charger, it is good choice. And to VRR, to be honest, current handlehds are just not made to play modern games on high FPS and if the game do not have enough FPS, even VRR cannot change this.

[@johnnytacosauce]

I bought one for $382 at best buy and man this thing is crazy ive already had the ally experience and it took my sd cards soul🤣

[@V4Vittos]

I use my legion go mostly for emulation and let me tell you that it is THE BEST handheld for that purpose. For most emulators i use power saving mode and the battery lasts for 5+ hours. Plus if u invest in a good power bank u can easily hit 10+ hours.

[@AdrianTheMEX]

As an ROG ally owner. Now legion go. I'd say Legion Go for sure! I had an Ally since release. I've had less issues with the legion go. I've had two Ally replacements. This is an awesome tablet without the controllers. The ROG Ally is easier to hold because it doesn't have the million buttons this does. But for all around I much rather buy the 1tb legion go. 500gb on the Ally is criminal. So Legion Go or buy an Ally X

[@KevyoKAJ]

The software was its undoing for me. QAM is so inconsistent, Legion Space doesn’t recognize Xbox game pass games, and there’s always a random error message that shows up. I really wanted to love this thing, but software hurts it tremendously in my experience.

[@KillerCam1020]

Is performance better than Ally? Is ps3 emulation any good?

[@davidornelas3326]

Performance is about the same as the z1 extreme version of the ally. They both have the z1 extreme actually. Now, the ROG Ally X, has the Z1 extreme chip but also has more ram, hence why it outperforms both.

[@EddiePReacts]

Ive seen tests. Theyre pretty close. The legion go typically averages like 3 or 4 more fps and tbh it has great performance at 20 watts. And ps3 emulation is great. I went back through dbz, nba ballers, and i play skate 3 all the time.

[@perturbedsun5508]

[@danielhooper8138]

For me it is just about right. I leave a charger at work so I can use it when things are slow at work and even though i have a gaming laptop at home i find myself playing a lot of games on the legion go instead. That said, i do wish it had a little more power and more ram. As for the battery life argument, get a laptop...... although the legion go CAN play AAA games at medium settings at 1920x1200, it is a handheld first and foremost so playing at 1280x800 on low settings should be expected. I bought mine not long after launch not relay expecting much from it but have been very surprised by what it can do. i have completed forbidden west solely on the legion go witch it handled really well and have even attempted some VR gaming on it with mixed results. I think that if you came at this with realistic expectations then it is an excellent bit of kit, even if the screen is overkill for the APU

I bought this for 899 plus 200$ insurance at micro center midnight release(last Halloween). It works fine, battery is not great, games run smooth as silk. I wish I would’ve held off for the rog x. I had no idea it would release months later. Really saddens me. I have both a deck and a legion go… would be irresponsible of me to buy my third handheld. Thinking about waiting till whichever 2nd/3rd generation handheld comes next. If rog ally x had a bigger screen I’d definitely go with it, but it’s just too small for what I prefer. Once you get that big screen you never wanna go back… what a predicament

If you plan to play new AAA games on legion go, you need to learn how to use AFMF2 and Losseles scaling, its a general problem with all handled pc. But if you learn how to use it right, you literally can play any game at 1200p easy, and this screen at 1200p its really amazing, better than 2k 27 monitor. And if you play some indie games like hades 2 at 144 fps and 1600p its a real eye candy. The only bad point for the handled against steam deck oled or asus rog X, is the battery. 1h is just not enough.

[@FWayfinder]

battery kinda sucks but i plug and play. if i go outside, ill just bring the charger and a powerbank

[@Jason_P]

THIS IS A LIE. Stop pushing this nonsense. I play new AAA games using the official drivers, without scaling, and it works PERECLT FINE. You DO NOT need to sideload drivers or configure scaling on the Legion Go.

[@denissbersnykk4656]

​@@Jason_P Its not a lie. AFMF2 works pretty good, not as good as losseles x2(personal preference) but it works good, and you can sideload drivers literraly in 5 min. Oficial drivers are very outdated, they are feom may. Some games like silent hill 2 if i remember right, crash every 20 mon without new drivers. Very slow updates from lenovo is a fact. If you dont khnow how to activate afmf2/lossles or you didnt liked it (when it literraly double your fps) i think is your problem. I never used this peograms, but when i did, i started playing elden ring 20wat at stable 70 fps and 1200p resolution at a cost of some minor ghosting on the hair of your charcter, i really recomend everyone to at least try it.

[@FWayfinder]

they released a new amd driver for handheld. 24.10.1 but it just support black ops 6. Im going to update mines. i like to be on top of things (no diddy)

[@Jason_P]

@@denissbersnykk4656 You say it "works pretty good", but there is nobody who can say it's worth all the trouble of sideloading and breaking the official driver and utility set. AFMF2 generates fake frames, so you really have no idea what the true FPS is for games that use it. You are acting like AFMF 2 simply raises framerates by magic, and that's not true. I have played MANY games on my Legion Go and they work perfectly well with the official driver and utility set. I run everything at 1200p native resolution and just use the RSR that is available with the official driver set.

idk how these people only getting 30-20fps… im playing cyberpunk right now on 1200p with 80-100 fps…. ir ur driver 780m with afmf2????

VRR is complete unnecessary on this. And windows is absolutely the best OS for a handheld. The Linux backend on the Steamdeck is what makes it a fucking turd and I have both steam decks.

[@Eleriam]

No VRR and bad speaker kills it for me unfortunately.

I've just bought a Legion Go and I'm very disappointed so far. My experience seems to be much worse than that experienced by others so I'm wondering if I have a defective model. I've tried games from many genres and I cannot get it to run anything without stuttering or worse. Most games run at less than 30 fps and are plagued by bugs.

[@ShadowOfDeath33]

Put it on performance mode them customize it from there. Mines at 20 watt then th other two are 5 below the starting spot. Also put it on 6gbvram or whatever in the bios setup.

[@ShadowOfDeath33]

Just putting it on performance will get it to work though.

[@ShadowOfDeath33]

Depending on certain games you might have to press the options button on legion go or in game settings and put the resolution or whatever down lower.

[@ShadowOfDeath33]

I play red dead, cyberpunk, wukong, etc. Fine on it and those games are quite demanding.

I bough 1tb legion go for 549 I am replacing my old pc with a i7 9700x gen and gtx1080 might run a egpu with the 1080

[@velixare6199]

The legion go def has its problems but not sure i'd trade it in for the ally or ally x. Simple fact that I can use a micro sd means the deck oled and legion go are better. If I play emulators or older games at 12x8 the battery will get around hour and 20 min at the min. The biggest detractor for the legion go to me is Lenovo itself, they are horrible at updating.
