[@dom5716]

I'm really enjoying my Legion Go and have no regrets about the purchase. I used to be a big PC gamer, but as I've gotten older, other things have taken priority. However, when I do have an hour or 2 to game on the road, it handles ALL the games I used to play on my PC without any issues... At the end of the day remember everyone, these are handhelds!

[@RapidRae]

Copped a Legion Go for 350$ on Offer Up mint condition couldn’t believe it loving everything about it so far

[@TheRealLofty]

Just copped the LEGO, im not seeing what alot of people complain about. It single handedly made me excited about gaming again.Im in awe everytime a game just runs the way my PS5 would. And gamepass is insane on it 😫😫

[@Cub__]

How are the economics of it, does it feel good in your hands?

[@TheRealLofty]

@Cub__ My hands are on the bigger side. So it feels great to me. Every button feels accessible. I could see someone with really small hands not feeling the same. So as long as you got medium to large hands, your good. You do also need to find a comfy spot for longer sessions. As eventually the weight can fatigue. Any position where you can support your elbows or wrist on something will be ideal.

[@RealSteveRodgers]

People just gripe about anything these days. I’m glad you’re enjoying it

[@yanivanthony7058]

Get the ally x if you want better battery life, if you want a better display get the go. I have the go and it’s like having a portable ps4 it’s amazing, especially when coupled with a good power bank whilst traveling; it’s a real delight to use.

[@warlockboyburns]

Judging by this video legion go has twice the battery power efficiency of the rog ally original which means it will be about the same battery life as the ally x kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXTWm6Jvqst4m9k . I just got a refurbished legion go for half the price of the ally x with a 1 year warranty :D

[@mrrelaxing6724]

Bro can u normally play in bed? Because it seems like to big for it. Also how is the 16GBs RAM? I can’t believe that legion go has close to the same benchmarks than the asus rog ally X. Because how does is work when your RAM just have 16GB to share… thats crazy! 🔥

[@yanivanthony7058]

@@mrrelaxing6724 you can definitely play in bed I usually just sit it on my lap with the stand after my arms start to get tired I set my vram to 6gb in the bios and that’s a good balance for performance and battery life. You really only need the default 4gb setting it ships with but I play call of duty and it runs better at 6 gb at the highest resolution

[@SmartFool24]

I’d have to disagree. If you want a big screen then get the go. If you want the best looking screen get the Deck Oled. If you want the best handheld gaming screen, get Ally or Ally X which is still the only one with a VRR screen.

[@idjitsinthekitchen]

I went through two of both the LeGo and Ally Z1X at launch and returned them all. Now with all of the updates and UI improvements I snagged an open box LeGo for $599 here in Canada. Way more comfortable at that price point then the launch price of CAD $950. I'm willing to give the LeGo another look. Hopefully at this price point, it stays this time. While I want that extra RAM and doubled batter the Ally X offers. I can't justify the CAD $1099 price tag on release.

[@JPKD77]

I only have a ally extreme almost a year now. Its a BEAST! runs everything smooth great quality. I use an adapter on the back with 3 permanent SSD flash drives 2TB each and i replaced internal SSD 2TB. Total 8TB 🔥 i replaced my gaming PC without noticing. I would wait for the next gen to replace my device although overall i think i have some years to play so much until then

[@Cub__]

Sheesh

[@MoneyManQuick]

Right 😮

[@rouz.cryptobulls]

Get Rog Ally if you want to play FPS Games, because of VRR feature of rog.

[@ScribbleVicious]

I have the Legion Go. I absolutely love it, but it’s so big that I don’t take it anywhere. For me I use it plugged in while chilling in bed at home. I also don’t want anything to happen to it or for it to get stolen. I might get the Ally X to be what I take places since it’s smaller and has a better battery.

[@delvysdominguez7953]

I can’t wait for Zotac to finally launch their beast in few months.

[@ricky865]

Personally I recommend the legion go if you're willing to replace windows either by wiping the drive or replacing the drive with a new one. If you're willing to do this then the Lenovo legion go is the better option and for this I personally recommend Bazzite OS. Chimera OS is also a good choice but I think Bazzite OS is better optimized for the legion go and the steam deck too.

[@kernaburna]

The legion go has a better display but you're not Likely to ever play a game at that resolution. Most games will play poorly with low frames at that resolution. The tech is just not there yet. You will end up playing with steam deck resolution most of the time.

[@catchwreck928]

dam so its all hype just like back in the psp psvita days. i remember thinking i could run ps3 games NOPE

[@SkyKnight]

@@catchwreck928you can play old games at that resolution, just not the newest ones

[@GamerDan89]

Don't you already eliminate the stutter when using lossless scaling?

[@LinksRoyal]

im rather wary of Asus behavior recently with the after service. i got a legion go and am quite happy with it. Also i use it as a mini Computer and at times a Mini Touchpad for videos and reading. the inbuilt stand is such a great add on.

[@Dobrufusnoretro]

For me battery life is the most important factor. If I could get a 80wh steam deck I would (as steam deck 8 watt gaming mode is amazing for battery duration) I guess I will wait rog aly x to be released to decide what to do

[@Molove81]

Legion Go all the way!! it’s an amazing Device that ticks all the boxes… I wouldn’t trade it for any other handheld on the market.

[@warlockboyburns]

I just picked up a legion go for half the price of the Ally X (2nd hand new condition)

[@qdotexe]

So, it is July 7th, pre-Ally X. I have an original 64gb Steam Deck, 1tb legion go, and ally z1e. My take was I prefer my Ally for gaming. I like the Go for anything else. I use FL studio to make music, photoshop and etc, I slapped all of that in the legion. I feel that the ally runs games at a higher performance than the legion. Now, could this be user error and I have some settings not optimized, probably. However, from personal experience I prefer my ally, and the X seems like the obvious choice if that is more of what I am going for. The Go however has the removable controllers and can be used as a surface tablet with beefy specs compared to an actual surface. I have used both a lot, it really matters on what I want to do. Will this take help anyone, probably not. However, it might.

[@Eevolved35]

I really love the legion go, but I really like the design of the ally. Legion go is a bit of a pain to hold, but having said that, I would still buy it over the ally. Edit: just noticed on the trailer for the go it says whipser quiet fan 😂

[@RNanda-ck6zy]

Are the fans on the go really loud?

I am actually trying to get the legion go I had it and then return it ,, I should have kept it, the Xbox game pass was awesome on it ,and just to have a small computer in there plans of your hands wow,, I can’t wait to get to it again

[@volcalstone]

I actually returned my launch one too and just got it again recently. It just wasn't ready for primetime yet imo. The new LS is a lot better now but isn't anywhere close to ACSE on my Ally which is close to perfection for me. I missed the larger screen on the Go and I'm glad that I now have it back. I initially got the 1TB version of the Go at $750 but this time around I only got the 512GB version for $580! I got it new btw and now added the same 2TB drive like on my Ally. The total ended up being only $675 which to me is an awesome deal.

[@yonniesboy]

@@volcalstone nice I might do that to unless I get one on offer up for a good price .

[@yonniesboy]

@@TheArchitect9593 cool.. I would love to get a gaming laptop again .. right now I game on a ps5 slim but a legion go or a gaming laptop would be much better

[@volcalstone]

@@TheArchitect9593 I have both and I actually like gaming on the Go more cause it's just better for me. Getting the laptop takes a little longer and is not ideal at times. I also got a custom rig as well but I play with that less than anything else.

I have the money to buy one i was going for the legion go but people told me the battery life is not good plus the fan is loud and other people tell me the rog ally is bad the service is not good its so hard to pick 😂

The fan is really loud and in my experience the device gets really hot

[@user-sx1bj1zk7c]

選ally x就對了

The battery life wont be good on any handheld some might have better but not the biggest difference fan can get loud bc there is only one fan. You can get the ally x from somewhere who has their own warranty service and repair service which i highly recommend on any device you buy.

You continually raved about how good the Legion’s display is… so not sure why you ranked it below the SD… 🤔 As much as I love my SD OLED, I will still say the Legion Go has a way better display. SD: 7in-1280x800-90hz-400nits VS LG: 8.8in-2560x1600-144Hz-500nits. Don’t get me wrong, I love OLED, but let’s not pretend it’s superior by itself. Here’s to hoping the next gen set of handhelds delivers what we all want 🎉👌

[@timaaaahhhh]

Nah. No touchpads is the reason I prefer the Ally. They add an absurd amount of width to the Steam Deck. And unless you're trying to play RTS games on these devices (which still sucks when using the Deck trackpads), they just bulk up the device. No thanks. Just set up your system in a way where you only need to deal with a launcher and the occasional windows update via the touchscreen.
