Lenovo Legion Go Review: 5 Months Later | GadgetsBoy 4K

[@GadgetsBoy]

One of the best handheld gaming console out right now

[@shaluka21]

can we play two player split screen games with ps5 controllers?

[@chrismartin3959]

I freaking love it

[@GB-ow1jh]

Yes

[@movedbiscuit1332]

@@shaluka21did you find an answer?

[@grzegorzcaputa]

I bought Legion Go to use it as a portable device for mounting simple rollers for Instagram and for developing photos and publishing on social media. I even edited 4K materials on it :)

[@sheldonzs]

I've had one for about 2 months, and I play that thing almost every day. I've played some indy games (Moonstone Island, Astalon) and Sega Saturn emulation on the Quiet profile, and was getting 4 - 5 hour battery life. Recently, I've been Playing Nier Replicant 1.22...., balance profile and high settings, getting 60 FPS and can usually play about 2 hours unplugged. It's a little heavy, and the controllers can dig in a little bit, but overall, I love this thing. I've even gone in and adjusted the FPS mode so I can do productivity on the go with music composing software, but I imagine it'd be pretty easy to do the same with any app that's very mouse reliant with a handful of the most useful keyboard shortcuts on the left controller.

[@GadgetsBoy]

That's amazing. I attempted to edit 4k video on it haha but it couldn't do it but I love that it's powerful enough to do so much. It's a great device for sure

[@eddiethealien]

Lenovo's wave of mega silent firings in early 2023 were absolutely despicable. They laid off thousands of really great people after posting record profits and bragging about moving up the Forbes list each quarter in their "All Hands" NA org sales meetings to those people that moved the needle for them. They ruined thousands of people's lives who relocated and rented or purchased new homes just to join the US sales organization during the digital boom of the pandemic and increase in business for them, forcing them to lose their homes and become homeless. Their warranty process is atrocious and considered terrible by anyone who has had to deal with service claims on top of this.

The Best Handheld out here hands down!

[@GadgetsBoy]

It's great

[@mkbane1262]

Idk about the best one .

[@SpecOpsDad]

Just picked up mine today. Charging it as we speak

[@GadgetsBoy]

Enjoy

[@ikhw_n_ikhwan6693]

how its run on cod warznone max graphics?

[@SpecOpsDad]

@ikhw_n_ikhwan6693 haven't tried. But played BFV and it runs great on battery power on high graphics. Same with need for speed heat FN as well. Haven't tried other games as of yet

[@SpecOpsDad]

@@ikhw_n_ikhwan6693 So I downloaded warzone but I seems to always crash. I get as far as the loading screen for a round to start then crashes and sends me to my home screen. Not sure what the problem is.

[@xdeathstar]

I have my Lenovo Legion Go for three weeks now and I'm using it almost everyday and I really enjoy it (desktop wise and Gaming wise), it's very well engineered :) Can't recommend it enough

[@kenanffb]

Can u tell me how long the battery lasts in Tablet Mode when streaming a movie?

[@xdeathstar]

​@@kenanffb I can't tell for sure because I am watching only youtube videos, but with OS power mode set to efficiency it should last about two hours or more. (Depending also on brightness)

[@stankozniewski9385]

Jeez time flies, I love my legion go I had the deck and ally, stuck with the legion for the gorgeous screen. Play mine every day, sometimes at lunch at work. Played all sorts of games, battlefield 2042, diablo 4, dying light 1 and 2, plus a bunch of oldies like n64 and snes. It is awesome for stand up arcades as you can put it in portrait mode and the stand still works.

[@GadgetsBoy]

Amazing. It's a great device

[@movedbiscuit1332]

@@GadgetsBoy Can you play with 4 people on legion go using ps5 controller (co-op not online)

[@yasirrakhurrafat1142]

​@@movedbiscuit1332yea. You can probably play online as well, if you use some creative softwares or vm.

[@CHATHK]

How about battery? How much time do you get playing battlefield 2042

[@stankozniewski9385]

@@CHATHK about 1.5 to 2 hours on the 15watt performance mode

[@chanceyknows4445]

I love my legion go! It was either the ally or the go and I decided the go because of the detachable controllers and the massive screen. I’m sure the ROG is decent but I’m happy w/ my legion go. I’m current playing Diablo 4 on it and love it! Cheers!

[@VincentSilverfang]

Great video...one point...the controllers cannot be used seperately in games..like u cant use it as a two controller unit

[@TheGodzilla2201]

I just ordered mine a couple of days ago during prime deal days for $588 with tax. The original price was $549. I also ordered a stylus and grip for it as well. I can't wait to get it.

[@JJPurp]

I purchased the d brand skin for the controllers. It definitely helps with fingerprints.

[@louispouliot4102]

Tx you Gadgetsboy, ordered one.

[@bearfreedom4858]

First time i subbed when a youtuber asked me to👌

[@GadgetsBoy]

Haha thank you 🙏🏾

[@bearfreedom4858]

Hope you get 100 k subs soon 🤜🤛👌@@GadgetsBoy

[@cc75936]

I love my legion go I bought a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale at £588 I couldn't say no at that price I slapped an antiglare screen protector on mine too as it's basically a mirror without it

[@GadgetsBoy]

Too reflective haha

[@mackan072]

I want a Steam Deck 2, but with this screen.

[@farhatjayadi3279]

Does it support bypass charging?... Lenovo legion go

[@michaellui74]

Great video 👍👍is the sound volume really bad ?? Should I wait for rog ally 2 gen?? Love rog ally sound front firing speakers. New subscriber

[@GadgetsBoy]

Thank you. It’s not bad bad, just not that loud or have the oomph when it comes to the bass.

[@jenniferphilips1916]

pal simply use earphones, its fine

[@justinmills9]

There are some settings you can adjust that massively improve the sound over the default settings. I think there are some Reddit posts explaining

[@dougmoore1077]

I am having a great time with the Legion go I gave my Deck to the wife

[@craigwoodgate7120]

I was thinking about buying one i currently have a steam deck is it worth an upgrade

[@onkelhiphop]

A little too expensive for my budget but someday I will buy it

[@GadgetsBoy]

Fingers crossed

[@Googzify]

Great video, very clear!

[@GadgetsBoy]

Thank you

[@heavymatt228]

Nice video bro. Since I've been showing some interest in buying one of the three gadgets I'm having hard time to choose the one that I should buy... Which one would be your recommendation to someone bro??

[@bastard8892]

I can't choose between this and the steam deck OLED, this has way better performance but I don't want to deal with windows 11

[@Eevolved32]

Why does it show the game sales on the legion space app in $ when I am using it in the UK and why does nobody ever mention this lol also you can take the thumb sticks off in fps mode for more comfort on the right controller 😀

[@GadgetsBoy]

Good question, I'm not sure lol. The joystick does come off but not recommended

[@hakemshahbirin]

Yeah not recommended, i lost mine.. anybody where i can find a replacement?

[@ceeva]

Which one should i buy Rog ally or legion go?

[@GadgetsBoy]

I like the Ally for the size so for me the Ally

[@outofcontrolsjsgaming]

Depends. I personally got a Legion for the flexibility in what it can do and the features. I have surprisingly used it just as much as a tablet as a gaming device. Multiple USB ports that are full USB 4 (both of which can be used for charging or data), the ability to attach a USB/Tunderbolt 3 e-GPU dock to it (the ROG does not, only a proprietary one). The mouse being detachable is nice even if you aren’t using it to game. This thing has become more of a daily driver for me. In power saver mode it runs for over 2 hours - almost 3 if I’m just streaming a show/movie.

[@cefrio]

Legion Go

[@jackykwan2580]

Wait for rog ally 2. Ally is almost perfect its just the battery and the sd card placement if people dont know how to adjust fan curve and the bezels should be filled up to 7.5 inch. Wait for the refresh Asus probably going to correct those.

[@cefrio]

@@jackykwan2580 nah.. bro wants to play right now lol

[@triwinarhadi]

For the display Legion Go IPS vs OLED by Steam Deck ?

[@GadgetsBoy]

Yeh. But new steam deck

[@kenanffb]

Can anyone tell How long the battery lasts in Tablet Mode when streaming a movie or watching YT?

[@sudeshh11]

5-6 hours

[@shaluka21]

can we play two player split screen games with ps5 controllers?

[@michaelhenggeler223]

you can do anything you can do with Windows

[@shaluka21]

@@michaelhenggeler223 Thanks for the reply, ended up buying a switch oled for now. Will go for something like this in future.

[@JelenaRozganajnaj]

Can u play apex on fps mode??

[@jackykwan2580]

The thing i hated these detachable controllers are they will be sure to wobble in the future the more u detach it. It aint a good experience if you are gaming with a wobbly controller. These alien buttons too is a complete fail. The nail in the coffin is Lenovo charges $1k over here at Asia.

[@GadgetsBoy]

It's hard to say if it will wobble eventually, but time will tell

[@RonAhL]

if i dont want to tinker around that much and have a pc, is the steam deck better than legion go?

[@outofcontrolsjsgaming]

So the answer is a bit nuanced. If you want to play games that are on Steam and a more console like experience, the Steam Deck is perfect. If you have a more diverse library over multiple platforms and/or XBox Game Pass (I have both of these), the Legion or ROG Ally might be the one for you. Also most anti-cheats do NOT work with Linux (Steam OS) which is what the Steam Deck runs on.

[@GadgetsBoy]

Great answer thank you

[@RonAhL]

@@outofcontrolsjsgaming thank you for this!, i do only play games on steam on my pc, some on epic games due to better sales discount but mostly i play on steam., for the issue with linux, i mostly play singleplayer campaign games like rdr2,etc.,the only multiplayer game i play is dota 2.,

[@RonAhL]

@@outofcontrolsjsgaming thank you for this!, the games i mostly play are on steam, some on epic games just because the sales were better during the time i bought those games.,i also play campaign singleplayer games, the only multiplayer game i play is dota 2,.

[@icerink239]

If you want a work tablet + a gaming console then the Legion Go is a better match, but if you want a better game console experience, go for the Steam Deck

Nice video buddy 🤝❤️

im getting one in like an hour! its on the Way, i sent my gf;s mom $ to pick one up for me at best buy just now while shes in town!! its like 2 hour drive away

My new legion go dies after 2 sessions of hell divers wich is less than a hour so I'm returning it keeping my deck oled

[@GadgetsBoy]

Maybe it's faulty?

[@Final_Counter]

@@GadgetsBoy I’m playing at 1200p resolution so I thought that was the reason also maxed out brightness and vibration and medium graphics settings

[@GadgetsBoy]

Less than an hour is crazy and shouldn’t die that quickly. I’ve been playing apex, cod and even forza on medium settings, balanced performance mode and it hold up for at least an hour and half

[@Final_Counter]

@@GadgetsBoy that’s crazy wow maybe somthing is wrong with the one I had, I sold it to my friend so I guess if he has a issue with it we can exchange it lol
