STEAM DECK Lied to me! Lenovo Legion Go Fixes That

I absolutely loved my Steam Deck but I never realized how much I was being lied to by Valve on how well these Great On Deck games would run on the handheld. In this video I go over the highs and lows that I experienced with my time with the Steam Deck. Thanks to the Lenovo Legion Go I can have high hopes for the future of handheld pc market!

I chose the go over the steamdeck and rog ally because what I really wanted was a windows tablet that could play triple a games, and the legion go is the closet thing to that right now. I'm very happy with the purchase.

[@ntech1507]

True Me too

[@kevosalinas]

Honestly I originally didn’t even see it as a viable tablet option, mainly because my opinion on gaming “tablets” is skewed thanks to the Switch, but I find myself using my Legion Go as just a tablet now and I love it!

[@ntech1507]

@kevosalinas yes its great thats why I sold my ally for it

[@ricksanchez7250]

@@kevosalinas the switch is for kids with no technical ability

[@carth85]

It's not just close, it's totally there. You might not be able to run the highest resolution or max graphics settings but I play triple a games on mine all day.

[@ben7301]

What about the rog ally? Which one do you like better I’m deciding to buy one but can’t figure which one Legion Go or Rog Ally.

[@kevosalinas]

Check out my latest video! I actually did a VS between the Go and the Ally🔥

[@f2theab661]

Im thinking of getting one of these for local game streaming from my PC using moonshine, do you have any experience using it on your Legion Go?

[@kevosalinas]

I haven’t really tinkered too much with game streaming on the legion go to be completely honest. From what it seems like a lot of people are using that software so I might be interested in seeing it it performs better than Steam Link!

[@mikejames6588]

The go is a better device. Software compatibility hardware compatibility it wins

[@kainatticus]

I can back this up, with moonshine it's exceptional, some tinkering needed with controls on some games but easy fixed

[@lucashardin4682]

To me, the screen size makes a complete difference plus it's basically a transformer between a tablet, a switch like console and full pc

[@kevosalinas]

Screen is way to big for traveling around with it but PERFECT size for a beautiful handheld/tabletop gaming experience😍

[@lucashardin4682]

@kevosalinas To me, 7 inches is too small to have a functional tablet mode using your fingers to navigate windows 11. The extra 2 inches allows me no need for a stylus. It just feels like a transformer between a tablet switch like game console and a Gaming pc rig

[@lucashardin4682]

@kevosalinas It comes with a nice hard case, so it's perfect to travel around. And plus it has a stand so you can set it on the table in front of you like an intended switch and use the joy cons. Since they have their own battery just like the switch. Doing it this way gives you full tablet mode to make it portrait instead of landscape

[@00nachos]

First time watching. I just purchased a legion go and I can’t wait to use it.

[@kevosalinas]

Yooo congrats! I hope you also have a smooth experience using the handheld🔥

[@SilviuCiuca]

I cannot relate. 1000 hours + with 150 games on Steam Deck and I had like 2 crashes.

[@kevosalinas]

Woah!!!! Did you have a preference on what proton version you used or did you go in tinkering with BIOS settings to get god like results like that!?

[@SilviuCiuca]

99% of the time default proton, only on some "unsuported" games i had to change to Proton GE@@kevosalinas

[@Saif0412]

Can confirm crashes are very rare on Steam Deck and most games run pretty well.

[@GoldenNada]

Man cyberpunk crashed like twice on me yesterday and FF7 remake crashed the day before. It's a problem I'm guessing you're just lucky or don't play very demanding games on it. Because in my experience it's not if it will crash it's when it will crash but to be honest I haven't had a crash in windows for a good 2 months now, chop that one up to a random windows update.

[@GoldenNada]

​@kevosalinas right because I like what valve is doing for Linux users and it's community but let's face it the steamdeck is by far the most unstable handheld on the market yes the windows handheld are a pain to set up but once they are set up they run and the games generally work with little after install configuration ie messing with proton settings to get the game to run again because a random steam update broke it.

[@Maniac1551]

Returned my legion go. I couldn’t stand the software overlay they used. I felt like I spent more time trying to fight which “performance” mode I was in and having to tab in and out of games to get any consistency in framerate. Ordered the OLED steam deck and put the rest of the savings into a WiFi 7 router to allow better streaming from my desktop (4090)

[@kevosalinas]

The legion space UI definitely needs some improvements! Heck yeah seems like you made a solid choice!

[@carth85]

Its gotten a lot better since you returned it. They've been releasing pretty steady updates. I'm way happier with the power of my Go than what the deck offers. As long as you have a setup you're happy with, that's what matters. Rocking a 4090, I'm jealous.

[@smckenz79]

Man I'm glad that you made this video because I'm going through the same situation with my SD. It's been great for a while but now I can hardly play any game for >5 mins without it crashing and doing a hard reboot. Trading it in for a Legion Go!

[@kevosalinas]

I’m happy other people steam deck apparently doesn’t give them “any problems” but that’s just wasn’t my experience and there is a decent number of people who agree lol

[@juiceman8355]

Are these crashes happening in the SD oled?

[@kevosalinas]

My experiences were with the first wave 512gh version, but like I said the problem might lie with Proton.

[@JDabz96]

No, from what I heard, not at all

[@ricksanchez7250]

Yes all steamdecks are weak underpowered trash

[@legendred2798]

I can just plug this while playing, right? and it won't damage the battery, right?

[@kevosalinas]

The legion go is DEFINITELY meant to be played plugged in😂 I can sometimes get even WAY higher frame rates when plugged on at max wattage settings. We are talking 40+fps

[@ricksanchez7250]

It has pass through power that goes direct to the mother board, bypassing the battery so the battery isn't even being used plugged in

[@kevosalinas]

Thank you for checking out the video! It’s actually a Disney Spider-Mane Spirit Jersey that I got at Disneyland Resort🙌🏻

[@carth85]

I've had my Go since Christmas and I love it. The big screen, the controllers feel great to me, the power of the Z1 extreme to play pretty much anything you want wherever you want. I use it to play mobile, and when I'm not mobile I've been using it to connect to an RTX 4070 super egpu and a 1440p monitor. Its a pretty great little setup.

[@kevosalinas]

Woah you definitely super powered your Go with that set up! Nice!!!

[@kimberlyfoster2264]

I wonder if this is localized issue because I haven’t had any issues with game crashes. Overall my experience with the deck has been great. However, I don’t do a lot of changes in my settings. The Legion Go is a nightmare because you have to change settings to optimize game play. I’m still struggling with having games being displayed in full screen mode. The Steam Deck has a huge community and you can find help with any problems you may be having.

[@kevosalinas]

They do have a huge community!

[@carth85]

That's the whole benefit of the deck, their control over the OS. The deck is more of mobile console in that sense whereas the Go is a pc and comes with all of the ups and downs of pc gaming. The good news for us PC gamers is that microsoft seems to be working on more handheld friendly versions of windows so maybe one of these days windows handhelds will catch up. I still prefer my Go, I like the extra power and control even if there is some bit of inconvenience due to the nature of windows gaming. Personally, I don't find it all that big of a deal to find out what settings I want for a game, it isn't that hard and I get a final result that was determined by me and how I want to run a particular game.

[@roderickmorales]

Wanted to like this device and after two exchanges (fist one had bad crashes, second unit, the right controller rgb ring light will not sync with the left and stayed in solid color and couldn’t never turned it off even though I reset it many times and toggled on and off) I gave up, returned it, and bought an ROG Ally and a 512GB OLED Steam Deck. Best devices I ever had

Great video. I also traded my Steam Deck for a Legion Go and haven't looked back. For me it was about the screen size and the ability to use it as a tablet. I also think the real potential/versatility of the detachable controllers will come if/when third party controls hit the market.

Like I mentioned I always noticed more crashes happening after the stock proton had an update and sometimes broke some games. I had a similar issue with Yakuza Like A Dragon, I couldn’t even get past the main menu and the only way to play way to stream it. UNTIL one day stock proton had update and I would all of a sudden I would rarely experience crashes. So in my case the update actually fixed the game lol

What you’re describing sounds more like periodic hardware failure to me. I’m not a trained professional, but I do have almost 40 years of experience dealing with computers as a tech enthusiast. Good for you that you managed to sell it. Bad for the person who bought a real lemon. This is why I don’t buy used hardware unless it’s so dirt cheap that it’s no big loss if doesn’t work as advertised. If the Lenovo works better for your use case scenario than the Steam Deck, then it worked out for the better in the end, didn’t it?

[@kevosalinas]

I did see that there had been some hardware problems with the first wave of Stem Decks so maybe that might have been what was wrong with mine. Overall my experience with handheld pc gaming has been elevated by the Legion Go✨

[@2ndAmendmenttime]

I swear, using the steamdeck, i have been more of a beta tester than actually playing games. Steamdeck is the king if crashing.

[@T0moko2001]

Team Fortress 2 and Black ops 3 crash on the steam deck constantly. Switching protons doesn't work 100% of the time either.

[@kevosalinas]

I wonder if at some point it’s more of a problem that Proton doesn’t play nice with slightly older game titles?

[@Necrocom4]

So we have alot of things in common, one being a steam deck that just refused to work right, i solved it by installing a custom OS called windeck. So far its good but the deck just wont play certain games no matter what is done to it. Im a living room couch pc gamer, have been since the steam machines started showing up, i stubbornly got used to the steam controller and still to this day use it for everything i play, and the uniqueness of the legion go has me interested, i see alot that most people seem to think is bad just cuz it's different. But i to have a dream that i am playing some game on a handheld with my significant other watching a movie or something together. The pc is great but i cant stand taking up the tv when she is bored lol.

[@kevosalinas]

Woah I had never heard of that custom OS before! Yeah that is truly the real dream right there. Maybe wait and see how the MSI Claw compares to the other handhelds and pick one of those up so you can play more of your game library when couch pc gaming!

[@Invid72]

My Steam Deck never crashes. Maybe six times in the 2 years I've had one. I love my Legion Go, but I bought it to complement my Steam Deck, not to replace it. Windows has been way more of a PITA than SteamOS by far. Nothing I can't deal with but there are def. some annoyances that didn't exist on the Steam Deck. For example...I have to manually unmount my microSD card before shutting down or Windows will hang. Love both devices, they serve similar, but not the same functions. The Go is a gaming device, but it's also a general purpose computer for me so I bought a folding keyboard for it that fits in the case with the Go. My Steam Deck is the battery champion for when I'm travelling.

[@kevosalinas]

See this sounds like a very good ecosystem you have going on!

Got the legion go a few weeks ago and I play it all the time! Never had any issues once I signed into the all the different accounts and the drawn out windows setup process. It was a difficult decision choosing between the steam deck and the legion go as they are both amazing handheld pcs. Ultimately what led me to buy the legion go was windows, I didn’t want to have a Linux based pc as I believe it would have worse comparability with some games I frequently play. After a few weeks of owning the legion go I never once thought I wish I got the steam deck instead the Lenovo is elite in my opinion I never deal with game crashes and it runs all the games I want to play it just needs more battery life, a 210WH power station fixed that for me now I can play games on the go for at least 4 hours

As a person who has owned both, I think you made the best decision! To be completely honest I mainly just run my Legion Go plugged in to an AC outlet.

My steamdeck crashes all the time and moding games is another nightmare do too thhe fact that linux is mediocre software full incompatibility issue. Not too mention the steamdeck struggles with holding a solid 30fps on most games. Unless its indie 2d games. I will never get a steamdeck . The steamdeck crashes alot for me as well its a crashing magnet . Proton /Linux is a terrible product for gaming & because its cheap people will shill the SD while bashing all the other alternatives. The Steamdecks raw performance is a joke compared too the Rog Alley & LegionGo

[@kevosalinas]

Hahahahaha I feel that! I wonder if the Deck would be a better handheld if it was made/optimized to run on Windows instead!?

[@ricksanchez7250]

The rog ally is 90c and killing micro sd cards. Even if you send it in to rog. They will replace motherboard and it will inevitably burn out again

[@2ndAmendmenttime]

​@kevosalinas I wonder that as well.

[@egjream]

I call BS on the crashes with Steam Deck

[@kevosalinas]

I with that’s all it was tbh

[@dorfus]

I had the same problem- games would suddenly become unstable after an update, or just wouldn’t boot. I spent weeks trying to troubleshoot an issue with Baldur’s Gate nobody else seemed to have and couldn’t find a version of Proton to support it for me- had to start from scratch with it. And then Ghostwire Tokyo developed an issue where I’d have to boot into it on my regular pc and put the specs down before playing it on the deck- wasn’t like that before. I felt like I was tinkering with the Steamdeck more than I was playing with it.

[@oo--7714]

You are shilling hard but are right, the verified system is actual garbage, I get crashes on miles morales on the steam deck and that is verified.

[@kevosalinas]

Perfect version of a steam deck would be one running windows and not Linux🔥

Good choice!

[@receivegreatest6802]

Yea steam deck isn’t playing fair lol. So many KZbinrs & influencers are being paid to give a dishonest review of the Legion it’s extremely obvious that’s what’s going on. The gaming industry can be like a mafia at times. Also a lot of ppl are just very angry because they already have the steam deck then something else better came along.

[@kevosalinas]

Wait no way!! To be completely honest I haven’t really seen much buzz around the legion go so that might make sense. I mean I was angry at my steam deck as well so I think I kind of get the sentiment😂

[@receivegreatest6802]

@@kevosalinas lol yea it’s honestly a combination of both… you spend $300 to $500 on a portable PC then something else better comes out that cost a few hundred more that’s definitely gonna bring out some angry keyboard & KZbin babies

[@crestofhonor2349]

I don't think the reviews are paid. You'd need some serious evidence for that

[@receivegreatest6802]

@@crestofhonor2349 it’s obvious & it’s not exclusive to the legion million dollar companies pay for review’s Lenovo has done the same just not to the extent of the steam deck

[@peacelove8395]

​@receivegreatest6802 you say "so many are being paid" do you have any actual proof? Is there any evidence? Has it been documented anywhere? Has there been any independent investigations done? And can you tell us the names of which one's have been paid? You'd be doing the whole community a massive favour by shedding light on all of the above.

Proton DB is great

[@kevosalinas]

I don’t think I ever tried this version!

[@ntech1507]

I consider the steam deck the fourth console

[@kevosalinas]

With the way the UI feels and works it definitely is the closed thing to a console🔥

[@ntech1507]

@kevosalinas yeah true I consider the rog ally and legion handled pcs

I have had infinitely more issues with my windows based handhelds than my SD Oled.

[@kevosalinas]

No way! I have some display issues like that mainly when I launch a game for the first time.

how much where you paid for this ad xd

[@kevosalinas]

Pshhh you don’t even want to know! Sitting in a mansion now using steam decks to file the fire on my chimney while I sip some whisky and serenade my Legion Go😈

[@ricksanchez7250]

The steamdeck babies have the most fragile egos in all the console wars. They can't stand the FACTS

[@shawnchalfant1595]

Yeah, my Steam Deck experience has been the best. Not sure what your doing wrong. Steam Deck just isn't for you is all, yuck Windows

[@kevosalinas]

Haha yes I guess so!

This is a serious question for all gamers: if someone offered you a million pounds and a mansion in Jamaica to quit gaming all together, would you do it?

[@christycho9871]

It's stupid the GO does not have VRR. Just .... stupid. That's what made me go with the Ally instead of the GO. I also had the Deck for about a year and will probably sell it. Love the Ally, especially since frame rates will fluctuate all the time

[@kevosalinas]

I completely respect this decision!

[@ricksanchez7250]

Nobody cares about vrr lmao the ally is complete trash with a hot side of burned up toasted broken sd card slot. Vrr is for kids who don't know what it is and how useless it is
