Honestly the Legion Go 2 might be my most anticipated non-Steam Deck handheld. And from what I've seen they promise to upgrade basically everything that matters on the device itself! An actually worthwhile upgrade and I hope the Z2E is as efficient as I've read from some sources.

I think for me it will hit every requirement for a handheld. The o ky wishlist thing I wish it had but probably won't is a USB4.2 port for TB5 eGPU support. Everything else I'm happy with. (Haven't seen the price though)

Lenovo absolutely killing it. Great that they partnered with Valve and will start officially brining Steam OS as a supported option. Really looking forward to the Legion Go 2 Oled, which has amazing upgrades in every relevant thing the original was lacking namely better screen, VRR, much bigger battery (49.2wh>74wh), huge Ram upgrade (16gb>32gb), ssd upgrade (500gb/1tb> 1tb/2tb), Z2 Extreme, among others.

​​@@xcruz7846 which I think is interesting because everyone is neglecting the most important thing about handhelds, battery life. Like if you really care about performance over all else, you're getting a console at the very least. The best part about handhelds is that they're portable and I'm really concerned everyone else is losing the plot by focusing on cutting edge performance for an hour and change over allowing you to actually use the device however is most comfortable for you. Valve sorta nailed the steamdeck in that regard and unless games suddenly become way more demanding (which they slowly are, but were also seeing devs both big and small embrace lower hardware stqndards) battery life is the one thing that splits the pack pretty hard.

I think that spacer/connector piece that turns the detachable handles into a single "regular" controller should also be a power bank. It could feed some juice into each controller piece then those can pass the power back to the main portion when they're reconnected. It wouldn't be much, but other than weight, why not?

@@qu1253 I’ve been using a legion go for a year and the battery is fine, around d 1.5hrs of a AAA game at 30w, much longer battery on lower tdp, but yes it’s important to carry the charger or a battery with current high end handhelds. For comfort, the kickstand on the Go is key. Pop it out and balance the machine on your legs or a table and because the screen is so big you don’t need to lean in close. It’s awesome .

For the SoC specs: Z2 Extreme is like a Ryzen 300-series (full 16CU RDNA 3.5 gpu, 3p5c Zen5/5c cpu config IIRC), Z2 is essentially a Ryzen 7/8000/Z1 Extreme (12CU RDNA3, 8c Zen4), and the Z2 Go is like a Z1 non-extreme with 3x the GPU (4c, unsure about the Zen4/4c config, 12CU RDNA3 GPU). The Z2 Go will definitely be faster than the Steam Deck in both cpu and gpu out of the box, at the same and lower power, especially with those Zen4c cores That $749 windows version with the Z2 Go, though? That's unacceptable even with a 32GB/1TB config. That really needs at least a Z2, given that you could get a Z1 Extreme handheld (sure, 16GB/500GB, but still...) for $799 a year ago.

1. Can't wait for the Legion Go 2. The screen is the biggest selling point for me. That larger display goes a long way. Can't help but wish my Ally X had a larger display 2. Specs have been confirmed online: 8.8 in OLED 120hz 1200p display with VRR. 75watt battery, Hall effects sticks and triggers, 32GB Ram, up to 2 TB of storage 3. Cyber Dopamine confirmed that the Legion Go 2 that was on display had the Z1 chips inside because it's a prototype but it will ship with the Z2 Extreme 4. I can't image the Go 2 being cheaper than $1000. I think it'll be between $1000 - $1200. I think they made 3 variants to target different markets. Budget, Normal and Premium. Obviously there's a market for premium devices otherwise GPD, Ayaneo, OneX wouldn't exist.

17:10 agree on doing the other way around; getting the $700+ windows model and then install SteamOS to gain that extra ram and whether the chipset is a higher tier. The best way to justify the 200+ difference is perhaps the 1TB storage, the windows license embedded with the hardware, and the extra ram

I bought Legion go mainly for an emulator up to ps2 and gamecube. I needed the larger screen. Updated to a 2tb drive. Absolutely over the moon with it especially just being able to dock it and use the joycons in a grip. With Retrobat installed its a complete retro dream. I also use the comfy grips too after seeing your video. BUT ..... I had to do the D pad mod (magnetic xbox attachment) as the stock legion go one is too flat and awful. Definitely better for Ha do kens now 👊 Apart from that ... perfectly happy 😊 I'll still upgrade the end of the year though 😂

That Legion Go 2 looks tempting, mainly because I want Microsoft to update windows and have an Xbox front end on the handhelds. That screen cannot be denied

AMD Z2 GO is 6800U with half of it's CPU cores disabled, which has little influence on gaming performance. CPU wise, it's similar configuration to 4/8 on steam deck, but zen3+ instead of zen 2 architecture with double the cache. You are still getting full Radeon 680M, which is about 5-10% slower than 780M at similar power limits. 680M is actually the same RDNA2 GPU as steam deck one, but with 12 CU's instead of 8. It's still an upgrade over what steam deck uses, especially at 17-18+ watt power limit. Unfortunately, screen is not OLED, it also bigger and battery aren't huge, so battery life is not gonna be amazing on this unit.

thanks for the video. heard that they are also going to have a z1e sku. so basically the current legion go specs with 32g ram,but in the non detachable format with the 8 inch screen. as a current legion go owner from release, that is the most interesting. I love the current go but its a bit too large and with the on the go nature that I use it, the controllers are starting to wear and wobble. really hope they will release a model like that.

I'm more interested in the SteamOS port to the Legion GO, since Valve is endeavoring to make it acessible other platforms, i would to use it on my Loki, the Big Picture is great but a Linux based sysem would help the performance and battery, i believe... but still great to see the 6800U still making a run for it's money against the 1 extreme and other APUs, rather than saturating with Z1 and intel's latest APU, companies should make the effort to use older processors to run great on low fps in stable performance, to balance things with battery usage. Thx for the info, Russ, have a safe travel home! =D

sucks to hear about the touch pad getting in the way of playing with the controller instead, if they had a way to disable it or "switch" to controller mode like how the steam deck does when holding the start button if youre in desktop mode, then that could help out a lot

It's great that we have another truly affordable handheld PC, but I wish these bigger companies would create a truly portable device. The best ones we have on the market are the Ayaneo Air 1S and the OneXFly but they're crazy expensive. I love these mainstream 7inch+ screen devices but they kind of defeat the point of being "portable" devices. I can't carry them easily anywhere.

I left a similar comment on an older vid about the Legion Go, but I am considering picking up a handheld PC and am tempted towards the SD Oled or a Legion Go. Should I wait for these refreshes? I already have an LCD SD but I would give/lend it to my Mom for Stardew and Warframe as she likes those games.

Legion G S is interesting. It's $70 cheaper than the Z1 Extreme ROG Ally, but with more RAM and the same screen features. Is the chip better than the Z1 Extreme?

It’s probably close, but hard to tell re: performance right now, since this is a custom chip.

Everyone hated Asus for making that Z1 model ally but I'm glad they did because there is a market outside of the $800 handheld and someone needs to fill it. I'll Probably end up going the Lenovo route for my z1 upgrade or at the very least for my wifes LCD steam deck upgrade. The price point and the specs on that lower end Z2 doesn't seem bad.
