[@formulaic78]

If I have an ally and I want to be able to play using a mouse then I have to always bring around an additional mouse but with this you just have to detach the controller. The detachable controller presents so many use cases for me.

​@ThompYT depends all these handhelds are mini pcs. You can play epic game library, Xbox library, GeForce now library, and emulated libraries! With the steam deck you're limited to only steam games unless you want to change the os for some odd reason. Me personally I've started playing alot of emulated games on my phone but I'm missing ps3, ps4 and Xbox games so a handheld pc is most definitely worth it 😂 the only question Is what used pc would beat the price to performance

[@zigmar7]

Unfortunately, like the rest of windows-based handhelds it has a very niche enthusiast/tinkerer market, because handheld experience with windows is too rough to say it mildly. I'm waiting for Valve to start licensing StreamOS to third parties, this is when those handhelds will start to be competitive with Steam Decks.

[@animademachina2747]

Steam started an incredible handheld revolution and I’m all for it, I’ve got to get one of these if only for that mouse technology it’s fantastic

Yep. If valve didn't release the steamdeck, the computer manufacturers won't even think about releasing hand held computers. 👌

[@ltdzinger]

Get gabes sweaty balls out of your mouth. It was Nintendo and it doesn't matter how much you deny it.

[@majorgnu]

Steam Deck already has a suitable replacement for a mouse and it doesn't require sitting down in front of a smooth flat surface: gyro aiming. Look up gyro aiming on the steam deck. There are several ways to go about it, usually combining the gyro with either a trackpad or a thumbstick. It's why the thumbsticks have touch sensitive caps.

[@Ballador]

nah, man, they existed earlier, they just were extremely expensive and they were super niche. Sony did it in 2006 with their Sony Vaio UX UMPC. It came with Windows XP. Steam did bring them to the mainstream though.

[@AwakenShogun]

@@Ballador well if steamdeck didn't innovate the hardware, then we will just see a failed handheld computer.

This is the longest, with no context or comparisons to other metrics. I guess I was right, not a terrible channel, but if you want a comprehensive review that doesn't seem like an ad look elsewhere. Because it seems like he was STEAMDECK IS GOD, ALLY IS GOD, NOW THIS IS GOD, UNTIL THE NEXT. Don't insert any context or nuance on how the pricing of all of this is shit. Just compare the $400 steamdeck to this $800 device. Sure the steamdeck only has 64 GB storage, but this only has 256 GB for double the fucking price. That should be a bigger issue. The desktop replacement laptop was a minor seller for a reason. You have to value the lack of portability. He tends to lean into certain aspects without any context.

[@icy5982]

Originally, I thought the gigantic screen resolution was a huge issue but now that I think of it running at 800p would look amazing due to the perfect scaling. Also thanks to AMD's RSR older games wont be a problem to run. They probably won't run at its native screen resolution but running at 1200p then upscaling to 1600p would look amazing and run perfectly fine. I think this is a big win IMO

[@SMGJohn]

[@1.618_Murphy]

The addition of magnetic joystick mechanism instead of potentiometer is a major game changer. We used to have these in controllers like 30 years ago and they used to last way longer than their modern counterparts. Good to see it back and thanks to Lenovo.

[@xXYannuschXx]

Even the PS2 / PS3 era potentiometer sticks used to last ALOT longer. My two PS3 controllers still dont drift. This crap started with the PS4 era consoles somehow.

[@ThePhilosogamer]

@@xXYannuschXx Nah, drift been here for a long time. I had 4 controllers for every console since the N64, and I had drift on PS2, PS3, Gamecube, Xbox, 360, and PS4 controllers. I agree that the problem has definitely gotten worse, though, as among all those controllers, only 1 controller I had for each console had drift (always the one that came with the console, and mostly within 2 years), EXCEPT for the PS4 - All 4 of my controllers have drift, and one of them got it within 2 months of use. I am *certain* that manufacturers are just cheaping out at this point.

[@ClipMasterVT]

​@clvn9ja before the switch there was the 2ds and 3ds

[@JoshF848]

What has happened is the transition from portable gaming being its own distinct category, because a handheld system was incapable of matching a desktop PC or console, to an era where the same set of games can now be taken anywhere. PSP started this trend, but still needed big cuts to be made to games for them to be ported over. Vita could've done it better but Sony never wanted to fully commit to it. The Switch changed the equation by fully merging Nintendo's home console and portable game systems. It changed what we see handheld gaming as. Even though it's long in the tooth now its impressive what has been achieved with Switch hardware. And now with the advances in x86 APUs it's become totally feasible to stuff gaming laptop innards into a Switch style form factor leading to all these incredibly impressive devices we've seen in the last year.

[@breather8758]

Yeah, definitely didn't expect that, and I'm not even sure how much I'd use, but it's definitely a cool feature. (My guess is it will be one of those divisive, "I don't really care" or "I absolutely love this" features, similar to people who use gyro for aiming, or the trackpads on the steam deck)

Vertical gaming mice alone should be more mainstream since it’s so much better for our wrists in the long run. Glad to see proper ergonomics baked into this design.

[@garbear420]

The mouse is a super cool feature now all they need is a center piece for the controllers to combine into 1 controller similar to the switch (it will surprise me if it don't come with that by launch). Great review I'm even more hyped now. I can't wait to buy one of these.

[@nayyarrashid4661]

They need to or ask some other Chinese company to do it for them if Nintendo becomes unhappy with them. For the first time I am happy yhat Alienware chose not to bring out UFO. And Razer brought out their mobile SOC handheld. Those two would have priced it insanely.

[@Superhyuman]

They or some 3rd party will definitely take this so far missed opportunity. But I realized that you probably can just connect a ps5 or xbox controller to this thing anyway.

[@assafweiss8078]

The mouse thing with the controller is a nice touch. They should use magnet in the base like you mentioned, but instead of using a switch, the controller should automatically detect the magnet and switch to the mouse mode.

[@MrFastFox666]

As an Ally owner, even if it did affect the price some, I think it'd be worth it. You still get a handheld when playing an RPG or a racing game, but you can make a tiny laptop when playing shooters and it's way easier than carrying a mouse and keyboard with you. That track pad on the right is also a godsend and the Ally so desperately needs one IMHO. Same for the ports, this one seems to have 2x USB C, and the screen looks so much nicer thanks to the smaller bezel. Even if it's like $999 it'd be completely worth it for me.

[@leewalk35]

Get a switch you loser

[@ThePhilosogamer]

@@smittyvanjagermanjenson182 I'm hoping that this is the next step for these handhelds. With this and the clamshell designs, from GPD and Ayaneo around the corner, modularity seems like the last new territory for these handhelds to go.

[@MrZattack101]

1600p at 144hz is kind of crazy, good to see 7500MHz as well

[@javier7599]

Ordered mine already. This machine is a beast! Forget all the other handhelds, if you bought them, sale' em, the FPS mode alone is a revolution and makes it worth using as a daily driver.

[@blueblaze7312]

The Switch and Steam Deck just had a baby And it is gorgeous. Like, magnificent, bro

[@Terran343]

Just when you think there is a great portable system, there is a new challenger, looks pretty cool, i like it more than the others

[@mikeg3012]

Thanks for the deep dive, can't wait to see the final product. Love the energy, great review !

[@Yaaacar]

these handhelds are 🔥🔥🔥 combining the absolute best of a console, handheld and a PC in one banging product.

[@user-wi9zm2jg2o]

The switch to this device as my new gaming companion makes me feel relieved.

[@TeoBranzell]

Super exciting to see some innovation in the handheld market! Can't wait to see what the next 5 year of gaming will bring!🎉

[@Harikrishnankrishnapriya]

You know the tech is exciting when dave talks about it for 20 minutes. NONSTOP.🔥

[@samueldenbesten]

You truly are one of my two favourite reviewers.

That mouse option is also amazing for RTS games!

[@gamingrigz5856]

So cool. Gotta thank Nintendo for hitting it out of the park with the switch and Valve for bringing that form factor to PC and showing its possible. Seeing these handhelds being pumped out like this and even innovating like Lenovo did is so exciting. The future of handhelds looks promising.

[@beckinbinderin]

Ayaneo and OneXplayer have been making these devices for a long, long time.

[@chuckd.68]

⁠@@beckinbinderinAyaneo was formed in 2020 and OneXplayer in 2021. Switch came out 2017… Ayaneo and OneX have not been making devices for aloooong time lmao

[@Bond007er]

Nintendo always seems to start something new

[@xantaclaws]

Two breakthrough products, Honor Magic v2 and this Legion Go. Excellent stuff Dave. You made this day hell lot interesting.

[@chrisanders713]

This is awesome! I want this way more than a Steamdeck now.

[@KamenBundev]

Well, OneXPlayer 2 already had detachable controllers and a kickstand several months ago. It was built around 6800U, but the new Pro one coming out now is based on 7840U too.

[@frostebyte]

I can always rely on Dave to share his genuine nerd opinions and enthusiasm, thank you mate

[@mikithealien]

It is so fascinating to see companies surprise with innovation, good stuff!!🔥

[@stevoweso]

incredible product!

[@culilom007]

Imagine showing the kids this back when the Gameboy Color just came out. We are living in the future.

[@SamudroEntertainment]

Nintendo deserves far more credit for popularizing this form factor

[@JoelsterG4k]

Well the have received tons of recognition for the switch, they now need to innovate, they've been stuck with the switch for years.

[@arclight7892]

This could have been the switch 2 or switch pro whatever but nintendo kept on milking the switch by just giving it new designs or palette/color swaps and then selling them for a higher price instead of upgrading their hardware.

[@Polyeith]

dude it's Nintendo, the switch has sold 130m units. we all know where the form factor came from lmao, i don't even know what your comment means

[@Venomx-nb1jr]

Please don’t credit Nintendo for shit. The reason this happened is because of all the proprietary nonsense between Sony and Nintendo the last 20 years. Valve had enough and finally made the deck and now everyone saw there’s a market demand and Lenovo improved the switch themselves.

[@Alexeon]

​@@Venomx-nb1jr well Nintendo did come up with the detachable controller bit. I think that's what they were referring to. That said, I also think Nintendo has already gotten plenty of recognition for that so I don't know what else they want.

[@DarkSoul-il1sg]

What I love more than the product itself is that I feel like the engineering team had many liberties and had the freedom to get creative and really fined tuned everything as they got to play with it. As someone who grew up with the GBA SP I don't mind clicky D-Pads 😋😋

[@benji7275]

if they add a bracket for the two controllers either in the box or as a cheap accessory it would make it an insanely versatile handheld

[@Diptentu]

Loved the Casioak❤

[@GFourGadget]

Love the detachable controllers and how they fully utilize this form factor 👍 things are looking good for Lenovo!

[@lugardo]

what an interesting concept. glad Lenovo is taking inspiration from Steam Deck/Switch, etc. and adding their own spice. Innovation at its finest

[@user-def333]

If those controllers connected that would be great. Good review , ill be buying that

[@death3443]

Omg, almost bought a Legion 5 yesterday, i am waiting for this thing to release now 😮

[@citizensky]

For what you get in the whole package, the price is actually superb if true. Looking forward to the future of handheld gaming now, it seems to be really picking up. Great in-depth video Dave keep it up!

[@greg3118]

Nice overview! Lenovo has had some really innovative design choices on products for decades, so it's nice to see them bring it to the handheld PC space (even though it's still surprising to see them enter this space). I had zero interest in this when it was announced but the Legion Go has my attention now.

[@Gxbbzee]

wow they really thought of everything - kudos!

[@rainy5517]

I really hope they take the criticism and mkae something great, because they have the huge potential to keep up with the deck

[@DemDoolies]

Loving my Ally but this thing looks absolutely awesome! And it’s great to see even more competition in the handheld market. Excited to see the full release.

[@cody3335]

Same!

[@Wattermelondog]

And u already know since its lenovo it will be taken care of 10x better then asus products

[@parabvidit]

Ally has 2 fans and internals are spaced out much better. This is definitely gonna face heat issues

[@Amin2k]

I love it when companies inovate, like with this controller acting like a mouse for fps games. Its just so rare to see a company do this stuff as most companies play safe with everything nowadays.

[@Wil_Dsense]

Playing it safe is Beta energy. Innovation is Alpha.

[@bumsnypha]

​@@Wil_Dsensecapitalism breeds imitation. that's why it's so rare to see a company that takes risks

[@zomg346]

Yeah I think Lenovo is doing such a good job last few years

[@resmarted]

no, it's rare because risks are risky.@@bumsnypha

[@johnkil2012]

Awesome product thank you for the review.

[@rikudouray]

Now that's innovation 🎉

[@Geckoste]

Lenovo did a great job with making this, great to see some innovation especially in these portable handheld devices, excited to see what’s to come when it releases

[@rixterthetrixter]

This is what I have been waiting for. Nice large display and wireless mouse ready. I will be ordering one as soon as it drops. Thanks Dave2D for another great review😁👍

[@markusmulholland]

Really love Lenovo's gaming push. Love the hair as well.

[@Nooptema]

That mouse function is actually pretty awesome

[@stroeherj]

I have really enjoyed my ally... but this seems just so much more well thought out and feature packed. Super excited for it

[@I_AM_MR_COOLA]

Yeah may have to get this too I wish they ally was black

[@VarunGupta3009]

Innovation at its best. Kudos to Lenovo for developing this!

[@roshunepp]

The legion controller width is smaller making it feel clunky bc you have to pull back your tumbs. I love the mouse capabilities and I wish console controllers would have all those buttons standard. I love how all the portables utilize the rear for buttons. Mouse and thumbstick are my ideal setup over wasd.

[@alexandrustefanmiron7723]

Good direction. Ticks some boxes and some it doesn't. I would like to take from SD the DBL touchpads & back buttons. I like that you can remove the controllers but it needs to match the switch on that front with some plastic bridge to make an single controller and plastic side panels in the case you want them separate. Memory should be 32Gb at this point and, even better, be able to electrically disable 16Gb while still keeping the no of channels for better battery. Would be nice to have TB4/5 support. Points for having usb ports on top and bottom and a stand. Maybe in 2-3 years I'll upgrade my SD. Glad to see so many options popping up!

[@akki54000]

Woah thats a milestone in the gaming peripherals, expecting more mice in future like this for gamers

[@coughfee_beans]

Looks great! As someone who hates to game with a mouse and keyboard unless I play an MMORPG, this mouse stick seems much better! It's kinda like an arcade controller. I really prefer this D pad. The mushy round ones feel like a single clumsy and giant button. I want a clean and clicky +. Can't wait to hear more from Lenovo!

[@polarbe4r]

I'm worried about how they connect, doesn't seem like there is a lot of room for it to fail. Also the kickstand seems so flexy, hopefully they tighten that up a bit. Looking forward to see it out in the wild and comparisons with the steam deck once the lenovo one is out.

[@colmanbaldwinson9091]

How is this device for watching media and browsing the internet? Is the mouse pad on the right side accurate enough? I dont have a laptop and was considering this as i currently do everything on my phone
