[@caseyddr]

I'm heavily considering getting the Legion Go because I'm 0-2 on the Ally. I've bought 2 and both have been broken out of the box (Left joystick only goes up and down). VRR is the main reason holding me back from jumping on the Legion Go. Both are gorgeous in their own way. This comparison didn't help me at all, actually made the decision harder! I'm a screen resolution snob, and a lot of the games I'll play will look soooo good on the Legion at max resolution.. Holocure, Art of Rally, Death Must Die, etc... Also, the joystick quality of the Legion surpasses the Ally, which has been my issue and given me PTSD on getting a 3rd... but ya know what they say, 3rd time's a charm...... Glad your channel popped up in the algorithm.

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thanks man! that's really unfortunate to hear about your issues with Ally. the games you mentioned are Indie games that should perform great on both theses devices as they don't look demanding. So in that case the Legion Go should be able to handle them. You can always buy the device and try it out and if you don't like it just return it. Hope this helps and happy gaming!

[@BristolMatt]

Dudeeeeee, im 0-3 on the Ally. Haha Dirty screen out the box, then X button was stuck out the box, and finally the charging port overheated and burnt out the device. I have a Legion Go now. I craved my Ally for the first week, i miss the speakers, size and lush bursts of colour on the Ally. I got the Legion Go all set up eventually and i have now fallen in love with it. I came close to sending it back because of issues that made the device seem broke. I stuck with it, fixed the issues and now its brilliant. Both devices are epic. That's a fact. I will stick with Legion Go for a year, and get the Ally 2 whenever they make that haha.

I'm sticking with the Legion go... for one the screen is big and being an older gamer 8.8 inch makes a difference. But I'm also keeping my Steam Deck for game's that the go can't play. Cool video

[@PRuDislav]

the integre scaling from 800p to 1600p is one hell of a selling point. and if you cap it to proper numbers (for 144hz its 36/48/72 instead of 30/60 ) it wont be laggy even withou VRR

[@Maintenance48]

Thank you. I've ordered my legion, go I hope I've made the right decision

[@PeteOliva]

Over just the last couple of weeks, the LG has received updates that fix practically all of the issues I ever had with it. I would honestly, wholeheartedly recommend the Go over the Ally to anyone today, unless they're looking for the most portability.

[@Galiant2010]

Well, I just placed an order for the Legion Go after seeing them in your hands, side by side. The screen size difference was rather incredible, and offering higher res and refresh rate on top of that? Yes please! Also, 512GB storage is this age of gaming is like trying to feed a family of four a meal subsisting of 2-3 value menu items. 1TB was my bare minimum, I was already looking at spending extra to upgrade if I went with the Ally. 1TB is at least like a basic $5 sandwich for each family member lol, to keep that analogy. I have 11TB of storage on my desktop for games (3TB being NVME) and I'm still eyeing more NVME drives with how big games are getting (and just how many old ones I have lol). The detachable controllers is another huge thing. My sister has 5 kids and having enough controllers for them on my Switch was a PITA. I already have 2x Xbox One controllers and an Xbox Series controller, so this will make a 4th that I can use while the system is docked to a TV for group play. And one of the "Joycons" functioning as a mouse is great. I'm most apprehensive about the "OS" software... as a long time desktop user I'd much rather just use it as a plain Windows device and launch Steam and Epic like I do on my desktop and run games from there. To which point the built in track pad also seems nice. I'm also apprehensive about the thumbsticks. You mentioned they were small, but at least they're Hall Effect, but another review said something about the dead zone being too big, though with the right software that should be adjustable.

[@Andrew-em6mt]

Nice choice, not to mention the legion go runs cooler!

[@TattedThomasGaming]

I got the Lenovo legion go coming in the mail and I’m so stoked for it. I had the choice between that and the ally so I picked the go

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Awesome to hear! The latest drivers and BIOs updates really improved performance for me and it’s starting to look really good. I Hope you enjoy it when you get it!

Looks good and runs smoother but a bit laggy than ally. Then there is the speakers and fan noise. The fan noise is higher than the speakers at 100% lol. I'm returning my LeGo soon. I ran into a problem and can't reinstall windows 11 not even with a usb c stick. They don;t have the recory option like the ally has from the Bios where it downloads you a fresh windows 11. But the screen is lovely! everything else sucks lol

[@VinnyUnion]

There's a audio trick to fix the Lenovo Legion Go speakers significantly. I saw a video where it was mentioned to go in some realtek audio setting on window and set a custom EQ or whatever, i'm not sure what it was called exactly. You may find it instantly on youtube or google, apparently it's a must

Thank you, very good Vid. I go for the Legion Go

[@matthewferguson8423]

I wonder which is best for playing Balder's Gate 3 and rather the Ally's VRR makes a difference for that game.

[@jzuleta3124]

Great video and comparison but it ended too abrupt hehehe

[@kizahi3075]

hey man thanks for the video, i just got my legion go and setting it up, how did you get toggle the on screen display from rivatuner + msi afterburner? are you able to set up the toggle buttons from the legion go controllers or do i need to plug in a keyboard everytime i want to toggle it on or off?

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thanks! When I don’t have a keyboard plugged in I usually launch Afterburner and toggle “on screen display” in Riva Tuner before playing a game. it’s a little weird because you’re using the touch controls but it usually works for me. Other than that using a keyboard is the best way because you can restart the fps recording and do other things a lot easier. Hope this helps!

[@thedigitaljedi3243]

Great review and awesome comparison. The Ally has a fingerprint sensor which is very cool. The Legion Go can be used as a tablet which is very cool as well. I have the Legion Go and my friend has the Ally. Both are great devices.

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thank you! Awesome to hear and thanks for mentioning that info. Happy Gaming!

[@switchunboxing]

Oh good call. LeGo doesn’t have fingerprint?

[@egjream]

Yea but the fingerprint sensor doesn't recognize your finger half of the time if you don't touch it in a certain position

[@nicholasjacobs3862]

For me, the screen size of the Go is super appealing, but the loud fan, awkward rear buttons, and janky software kill it for me. The ally nailed the software and fan noise, but is lacking in screen size, and a kick stand like the go would be awesome. Hopefully in the future ASUS or Lenovo can release a product that fixes all the flaws of the current handheld offerings

[@Palerider2023]

The software on the go is not bad. The fan is not loud unless you turn to full speed which isn’t necessary.

[@JohnStenborg]

…the le go is the most fun i have had with a computer in decades…i own or had own every handheld n pc n apple there is…still nothing compare in brutal fun and daring chunkiness…the le go is the most personal n techno character in a loooong time…go legion gooooo…

[@Jdawg0529]

I personally prefer the ally. VRR is something I never knew I absolutely needed until I had it, the size is perfect (not too big, not too small), and the ergonomics are top notch. Yes, it did fry my MicroSD card but I RMA'd the device and it's since been perfect. The real comparison I'm looking forward to is going to be the ROG Ally vs the MSI Claw

[@ahmadnasseri1618]

@13:04 you said there is only 512 gb storage for the ally and no other option , does that mean the 1 2 tb models on amazon are modded models ? and not 1 2 tb from the factory ? (Can you please make it clear , im about to buy )

[@faristriesgamingtech]

They probably are. All of the official ones from BestBuy are 512 GB. Hope this helps!

[@THELIFEOFCB]

Great video 🎉

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thank you!

[@Hxlst]

My only concern is which one performs best being docked up to my TV (kinda like a console) with a wireless controller or wireless M&K

[@iamkurogane]

The VRR argument is so dumb. It’s real but not so much when you’re closer to 60fps than not. If you need VRR to enjoy the game, then you’re better off on PC/Console. What’s the point of CP2077 “looking nice” on the Ally’s tiny screen. It’s either 60fps on the handheld or just use my PC. One other thing is GeForce Now. If you care about frames so much and you don’t have a PC, GFN looks astonishingly good on the Legion Go. The two machines shouldn’t be compared and even if they are the Go is way more versatile. Steam Deck OLED is way better than the Ally’s experience. Before you load your double barrel shotguns I own all 3

[@Valorking_]

Yeah, the go has a great screen, but downscaling on it literally looks bad. Also, the allys software is just so intuitive! Everyone saying VRR isn't a big deal, so why does every PC gamer get a free sync display or gsync display. Why was Sony enabling vrr such a big deal? It's because there is a legitimate difference. Yeah, it's a small thing, but it's genuinely annoying.

[@theo5675]

Yes exactly the ally is better!

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Couldn’t have said it better myself! As a PC gamer, I will not buy a monitor unless it has freesync or g sync because it does make a difference. Happy Gaming!

[@chrisk5125]

Wouldn’t ever get a non vrr display anymore. GSync ultimate for example on the Alienware 38inch is so insanely amazing.

[@ElusiveTsr]

I have all the major handhelds. I use the Go for pretty much everything and rarely use the others. The screen is too good to ever switch back to a smaller one, the kickstand is solid as a tree, the size of the device feels good in my giant hands, and the performance has been pretty surprising. Prop the Go up and use a 8bitdo sn30 controller and you will be in retro emulation heaven lol it just naturally without much fight took over as my main handheld for everything.

[@Ovo6477]

the legion go and the ally are within the margin of error 4-5fps sometimes the ally comes out on top and other the legion go does which shows its a margin of error but the performance is pretty much the same the ally is better because its quieter, cooler, light weight has VRR which makes it look much smoother less laggy and can be used as an actual portable handheld be comfortable the only issue is the battery but that's on both and unfortunately a windows issue

[@switchunboxing]

My only problem which I noticed last night when I was gaming in bed all day, is that sometimes you want to move to your side. With the switch, all you do, is takeoff the controllers and set the tablet on its side and then you can have the controllers to your side or under the covers while you game. I can’t do that on the Ally. I probably could with the Legion go though. For me going handheld wouldn’t be worth it if I don’t have the versatility. However, the Ally just looks so official and it looks so good physically I think.

[@mickwo]

How do you call that black thing you have on the wall where you hang your controllers and consoles, and where do they sell it?

[@switchunboxing]

Thank you for the great comparison!! The ROG Ally physically looks SO much better and official. But looking at the performance and screen and Hall effect and removable controllers.. idk why I wouldn’t go with the legion. Although it looks like something from 20 years ago.. How do these graphics and performance stack up against Xbox Series X and Ps5? I’m considering getting one of those too.

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thank you! graphics and performance are really dependent on the type of game you're playing, if you're playing a light indie game than sure the Legion Go and Ally should perform really well against current generation consoles. But if we're talking about demanding AAA games than that's where these handhelds will show their weakness if you stack it up against a PS5 or Series X. Hope this helps!

[@Galiant2010]

I know what it looks like. With the angled bumper buttons it looks a LOT like a GameBoy Advance. Just wayyy bigger lol. But I really like the black of the Legion over the white of the Ally.

[@switchunboxing]

@@faristriesgamingtech Well yeah if you are talking Stardew Valley it won’t be utilizing the power of the system I’m not worried about something like that. Nor would I need an Ally to play it. What do you mean it would show its weakness against Series X and PS5? I was wondering a more specific answer if you have any info on that? I would be streaming from this thing and I don’t want my games to look embarrassing or anything. Just got my free Series X in today!!!! Tempting to open it but the plan was to sell it and put that towards a windows handheld. Just sounds though like I might be paying more to go backwards… Which is frustrating to think about.

@@VoicefulRiver People we’re complaining about Ally dead zone. Maybe it’s fixed. I haven’t heard complaints about Xbox or PS5 I don’t think. I play Nintendo and I just notice on Hori Split Pad there is noticeable dead zone and I absolutely can’t have that. It almost feels like you are sliding on ice whenever you’re playing a game where you need to go from left to right, like a third person RPG type game.

[@VoicefulRiver]

@@switchunboxing I'm finding it to be game dependent for sure, if you can tune the controller deadzones (Such as a racing game like Forza) then there is no deadzone whatsoever. But if it's a game where you can't, then there is a tiny bit of nothingness right after tapping left to right, again though I experience the same thing with Xbox or PS5 controllers.

In terms of bigger screen and battery legion win but in terms of smooth gameplay ,fps vrr rog wins so i go with rog ally

[@Andrew-em6mt]

Just to point out a few things, the Rog Ally apu tends to run up to 10 deg hotter than the legion go. As for the speakers, they both sound pretty bad lol, just one is louder than the other. In reality, at least for me, some form of earphones/headsets would be used anyway. It's like having speakers in a TV, not many people use them. You can use a 2230 SSD on the Legion Go, but you will need an adaptor for it to fit. It does add an extra point of failure, but for a $10 adaptor, its worth it. But for me, the Legion Go screen and removable controllers is what wins it for me in the end. It does make a much better experience over the Ally, in my opinion

[@faristriesgamingtech]

[@brandontovar2539]

I have the legion and can hold it up for a couple of hours with no issues

[@arvintrevino4622]

Asus ROG Ally? 🤔 I've been thinking about it aince its better than steam. But... I hear the SSD gets fried and if I buy a $100 SSD I don't want it to get totaled. I would rather prefer an AYN Loki Max Only if it had a 7840u instead. No new news from AYN for new devices. I mostly want a device where I can either play Emudeck/ Retroarch and Batocera. However, I want one where I can play steam, Xbox, or PS5 AAA games and online mmorpgs with my cousins. And most of the time I hear issues of battery too. The Ayaneo Chan (Kun) is better, but the 8 axis D pad doesn't work well with the Contra tests and I hear Ayaneo gets sloppy and sends out broken or faulty devices. They also don't like to give refunds. And if people pay for a device like a phone or similar; people expect it to work without problems. And the company makes the customers happy by fixing or giving a new device at little or no charge (T-Mobile etc.). I hear the MSI claw is going to be released however... Intel chip sets are a little older and eventually with the updates from game companies computers will fail. I do like the concept lights and all (big attraction) but I also want triggers and sticks to be hall sensors. If people were in my mind boggling spin, what would they do? Do I keep waiting? AYN has the best emulation, however due to the 6800u It can't play newer games that will eventually come out. 😵 So confusing.

[@pixellectual7808]

So no need to wait for msi claw rite?

[@faristriesgamingtech]

The MSI Claw will be based on a Intel chip instead of an AMD one. Since we don’t have the retail versions out to review it, one can’t really answer that. If you’re on the fence I would wait for reviews and benchmarks of retail versions when it releases. Hope this helps!

Ally is the way to go.

[@moxxiloquita2048]

Sounds isn't that big of an issue, since most ppl (like me) will play this console with a headset on at most if not all times! I have both the handheld devices,but my personal choice goes to the Lenovo.

[@timlugen8195]

What makes the difference? :)

[@estelle5798]

I don't play a lot of demanding games so I went for the base model ROG Ally on sale for $400, and for that price it really justifies the difference between it and the extreme. I'm so excited for it to come in, especially since I don't have a PC amd have wanted to play games through steam for years

[@zombiegoatt4282]

Ok so I have a Steam Deck and love it. My question is can you do similar things with the Legion Go trackpad? I'm deciding between a gaming laptop or the Legion Go for my Windows only library. My biggest need with the trackpad is for RPG's and mapping the quickslots to it like the Steam Deck does.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

you keep saying its because faster ram but look at the temp differences

[@MeowO_O]

I still can't get my Legion Go! Lenovo is still not releasing it in Taiwan for some unknown reason! Do they not know the buying power of the Taiwanese market!?

[@Kokuto_Cinoten]

I only speculate that its because Lenovo is a Chinese brand, though it's been a month since you posted this, has it released there now?

[@MeowO_O]

@@Kokuto_Cinoten No. Not released yet. Chinese brand probably isn't the problem either since I can find a bunch of Lenovo laptops in the biggest online retailer in Taiwan.

Best choice Legion Go.. I absolutely love it.

Ill just get the steamdeck, since playing AAA games that already run horribly on a top end pc, are not worth playing on something like that...

you never mention asus rog ally is the only one who can run with 65w

Rog ally for me!!

[@matrix128500]

Legion Go 100% I've sold my steam deck and haven't used my Ally since getting it. The ally will be getting sold soon too.

[@switchunboxing]

What are the main differences and What made you decide?

[@Nyantify]

People praising yhe ally like it ain't frying their SD cards

[@StepoMan86]

Asus ROG ALLY! Win Win. VRR❤

[@SPG8989]

I really hope the next round of APU handehelds use vrr. IDK why Asus is the only ones to think of this and that's why I went with them. I mean you are obviously going to be running games in that vrr sweet spot the more demanding they are so to me it is kind of a no brainer. I like the go's screen better but without vrr and imo 1200p is just too much for the 7840u aka z1 to handle unless you play mostly indie or older games, downscaling on these screens are a bit like monitors, they do not have the upscaling that tvs have to allow for non native resolutions to look really good. The ally being a smaller screen does help, but 720p isn't great on it...900p is ok with RIS.

[@JuanCarlos-ij5jw]

lenovo performs better because it has better thermals

[@DjangoDrango]

thanks ma nigga for always having interesting content, ey yo would you say the battery sucks major balls on the ally or is it aight?

[@faristriesgamingtech]

Thanks man! the Ally’s battery is pretty bad as well. I always play with turbo mode and I get maybe an hour of gameplay. Hope this helps!

[@theo5675]

They both suck with battery

[@theo5675]

Battery life sucks on both I would recommend the steam deck oled for battery

[@choripanymayonesa]

It depends what you want to play. Of course isn’t possible to play in high quality 10 hours, is the same as laptops. If you want to play AAA games for long season you must need to plug the charger

@@matrix128500 did you even watch the video lol even the youtuber said the ally is better. the poor purchasing decision was the people that spent over 700 for pretty much the same device but not as good as a handheld as the ally and you save 100-200 for something else and get the ally

Vrr is good on paper but you'll never notice any difference between the 2

[@LazyFaux5656]

That’s the definition of disingenuous

[@HugoCostaCancio]

I can’t believe (some, few) people keep saying that. VRR is literally the most noticeable difference. Playing Starfield at 36-37 fps and occasionally 40+ is amazing on the Ally. On the Legion go, you’d have to set it to 30 fps, missing on those 6, 7, 8, even 12 fps that make a huge, huge difference, specially at those low frame rates. 38 feels way more fluid than locked 30.

[@LazyFaux5656]

@@HugoCostaCancio preach. They think it’s just VRR. Rog Ally uses LFC (Low Framerate Compensation) It’s the only display made for gaming.

[@tykendrick800]

@@LazyFaux5656 I play the same exact games on both. There's 0 difference literally. Gimmick gimmick gimmick. It is what it is. My tv and gaming monitor have vrr. Guess what? Makes 0 difference gaming. It's just something for yall to use to justify something being better than the next. If yall did a vrr on/off blind test. You couldn't tell a difference either. They told you it's better so you make your self believe you need it

[@HugoCostaCancio]

@@tykendrick800There have been many, many times where I’ve had my frame rate unitentionally locked (for months it happend every time you opened Forza Horizon 5, it was a bug). Literally every sigle time I noticed it. 100% of the time. I really believe you are a troll, but if you’re a real person: it’s just you. You don’t notice it. And that’s ok! But it’s you. Also, are you really telling me that you don’t notice going from 30 fps to 40 fps?
