[@marksapollo]

One review will recommend Steam Deck, another will recommend Legion Go. BOTH are highly recommended, and neither one wins overall.

[@JosephEllis-ep7sg]

I have both, and out of the box you'd be right... but installing bazzite on the LLG is a game changer and clearly displays its superiority. Windows is just an awful os for a handheld

[@LianCasablacks]

​@@JosephEllis-ep7sg Is it true Bazzite makes the performance worst ?

[@CandyChannel1966]

Thank you so much for your personal opinions on the two devices. I am 57, worn eyeglasses since third grade and have astigmatism in both eyes. I’m going with the Go this year after seeing so many videos and finally this one that has definitely solidified my decision. The removable controllers are huge for me, the incredible screen size since I love mmorpg games like Elder Scrolls online, New World and multiplayer games. I hated Linux when I had my LCD SD last year! I have used windows since the 1990’s so no worries. I would be using it as a media consumption windows tablet and also game on it.

[@iPadChannel]

Good choice. I had a similar question 2 days ago, and I am very well pleased to have chisen Legion Go. Having a full windows built in to it is worth every penny. At $749, it rivals my $1,400 gaming laptop.

[@edj9013]

I have both of these and it is a hard decision. The Go screen is more immersive but the OLED software is waaaaaaayyy better. It really depends on how you will end up using it. I play more in my home so battery life isn't that big a deal and the Go has enough power to push the higher resolution and dock to my TV or monitor. My deck always seems to struggle a little bit if I'm pushing some things on a bigger screen past 720p

[@PC-ONE]

I'm loving my Steam Deck Oled used mainly for emulation and looking forward for a Windows Handheld device. Not convinced yet by the available Windows devices. Well A Legion Go 2 with new AMD CPU, 24 GB or more RAM, Oled screen with VRR, bigger battery...I'd take it without any hesitation.

[@sharpiesharpie8356]

I agree with everything you said bro love my steam deck but the legion go is amazing and not taking away from the steam deck I still love it I use the legion more for AAAa gaming it’s a beast

[@BernardWilkinson]

The reason I upgraded to rthe Steam Deck was because of Steam OS, otherwise, I would have gone with the Legion GO.

[@JosephEllis-ep7sg]

Ooof 😢 bazzite is an exact clone of steam os that runs perfectly on the llg. Steam os is fantastic and I did wait until there was a completely stable version to use prior to buying a windows handheld as I really didn't feel comfortable giving up what I considered the best experience.

[@billywhitaker6658]

I have the Oled and Legion Go will be here Saturday. This video had perfect timing. I’m thinking I will love them both.

[@billywhitaker6658]

So which one do you like better and why?

[@Kalfja]

so which one is best

[@billywhitaker6658]

@@Kalfja for performance and customization the Legion Go. For easy user interface and quick access Steam Deck. I will also add that I’ve been using the legion as a docked portable PC and the Oled deck I use nearly exclusively as a handheld.

[@thegaminggambit2089]

The steam deck is a more optimized experience but the Legion Go seem to be more versatile and more powerful. Neither option is a one size fits all it just based on user preference.

[@benedictpayot]

I now have both and it hasn't been a day but I already miss Steam OS. Windows can be a bit finicky on a handheld though it offers more flexibility. I'm still thinking if I should keep the deck

[@SammyHardman8]

Bigger screen and portable controllers = lenovo. Lower screen resolution but oled and better battery and easier to pick up and play = steam deck

[@Tyler-l5s]

Ima be playing bo6 and forza in bed or couch. I think it’s weird to game in public especially rude in the car when someone is driving

[@lijimmy80]

I have both. Legion Go is fun to tinker with. Min maxing settings to strike the perfect balance for a game is a game in itself. All the Legion Go 2 needs is vrr and at least 80 watt battery and its game over.

[@JosephEllis-ep7sg]

I own both and i have to say that im torn between which has the best screen.. everything pops on the oled panel colour wise, but the picture quality on the ips is insane combined with the best touchpanel I've ever used. Admittedly i installed bazzite within a month of owning my legion go because the os is wildly better than windows.

[@cory2016]

It's not that huge like Inch or 2. The steam was huge grip like wideness not much in the back to hang on the screen is so small

[@ricky865]

If you're willing to replace Windows on the device by replacing the SSD or wiping out the original installation then I would definitely recommend the Lenovo legion go. You could try Chimera OS on this device but I seriously recommend Bazzite OS for it.

[@AloushMan]

Great video! As someone who's done a full cycle of trying out handhelds, I liked the legion go a lot but disliked how slow they are with updates and etc.. so i went ahead and returned it and bought the deck oled instead. I've always wanted to go back to the legion go, but I feel like perhaps at this point maybe i should wait for a "refreshed" version? What are your thoughts and what would be your recommendation? Deck Oled -> Legion Go or just stick to the deck oled for now? (Just an fyi - i have no issues navigating around windows and stuff. Thanks! EDIT: Lol, i just bought it from best buy! (1TB version). Thankfully, i have 90 day return period.. but i think i'll like the legion go more now than i did before.

[@richricks78]

Same here 😂 I bought it when it first came out didn't really like it so I return it. Now I just purchased it last week again and I am really enjoying it more than the deck.

[@CandyChannel1966]

90 day return from Best Buy?? I thought they only had 14 day return on electronics. You bought the extended warranty I assume?

[@AloushMan]

@@CandyChannel1966 hey there! Yeah I have the Best Buy total membership, comes with extended return window of 90 days

[@lordmegatron65]

Both look great! I feel like anyone would be pleased with either device! It's incredible to see all of these portable PC type gaming devices coming out!

[@cory2016]

They are both good in different way

[@werner3472]

I prefer the legion with the bigger screen😅

[@marksapollo]

Talking about resolution, what is the point of the Legion Go’s much higher resolution? Literally just how many AAA games is it capable of running at decent frame rates and graphics settings at the native resolution huh? There was a reason Valve went with the lower resolution, because none of these devices can handle big games with high resolutions and decent graphics settings.

[@slawomirkubicz]

You're right, but launch one of the games on Geforce Now with Go's native resolution (with ultimate plan). Only the lack of an OLED screen with HDR support prevents me from calling this device ideal for this service.

[@DespyBlitz]

I can play a few games and virtually all indie games on 2.5k res. Also makes 800p better because it has a perfectly proportioned screen for integer scaling

[@edj9013]

It does make a difference when you see both in person. The OLED colors are better though but resolution is better on the Go with higher frames

[@Blackenedification]

It's not all about gaming. You can use the Legion as a tablet to watch multimedia as a high resolution on a bigger screen.

[@CandyChannel1966]

Because some of us would want to use it as an actual computer tablet! I would watch Netflix, Hulu, KZbinTV, other streaming apps, use other apps and then game on it sometimes lol.

[@smothyism]

So for the experience pc player get legion go for newbies get steam deck oled for cheaper and enjoy the upgrade video in 3

[@user-xu9ov5sg4e]

Guys I don’t have any handheld devices so I don’t know what to choose and I’m planning to buy one what I worry about if there a big difference between of the processor of steam deck oled and legion game what I worry about is the battery life I want at least 3-4 hours gameplay with out worry about the battery life and Most of my game are indie game on steam and crymachina , Spiderman miles morales and granblue relink ,devil may cry 5 and final fantasy vii remake so I worry if steam deck can run this games without problems I’m mostly worry about last 5 games that I talk about if the device can run the games without any problems if it’s can I think about steam deck oled for the battery so can u guys help me make up my mind please?

[@tggorudon2551]

3-4 hours of gameplay?! Get a PC! Anyways it's sort of possible with a steam deck oled or rog ally x because they have big battery the last time I checked steam deck oled lasted around 2 hrs playing AAA games if ur goal is to do 4 hours AND NO MORE THAN 4 HOURS JUST BELOW 4 HOURS ONLY. Then a steam deck with a power bank will suffice.

[@user-xu9ov5sg4e]

@@tggorudon2551 first of all thanks you for recommending steam deck oled for me and the reason that I don’t buy gaming pc because I have no space in my room for it my bed take the whole room so I don’t have space to sit and play on pc

[@LightStainYT]

I have the legion and it’s good when it comes to playing games outside of steam such as Xbox game pass or Epic Games. But I want to buy the oled because I’ve heard it’s better optimized and has a better battery life which I really care about. But I will no longer be able to play games on my epic games or free games on my Xbox game pass. 😢 It just depends what you can about more. If I didn’t care about battery life I’d say Legion Go 100%. But since I want more battery I’m picking up a steam deck oled and will probably be returning my Legion back to Best Buy.

[@user-xu9ov5sg4e]

@@LightStainYT yeah also with new ally X there is more option

720p baby screen, there you go easiest decision ever. It could have OLED from 2086, it's 720p and minuscule there's no point to owning a Steam Deck over a Rog Ally or Legion Go.

[@kasjamm]

The Steam Deck has much better battery life and support. The Ally and Legion go will be forgotten in a year

[@coldsun1187]

I have a Go and I never run the thing in max resolution. It is not powerful enough to make use of it in games. So really, you're whole point is moot. Most of us that use the Go, tune down the resolution to 1200P or 800P. The only benefit over the steam deck OLED is the size of the screen. The Steam Deck is superior in almost every other way but especially ergonomics and battery life.

When that so called upgrade for the oled deck, I didn't feel it was a major upgrade because it's not that much better than the deck LCD screen, the upgrade is going with the Legion, which have since Launch, and my man I'm telling you. it's a major difference. not to mention, the oled screen can have burn in display in the future.

Dear Sir , most of gamers looking for high resolution high pexels , i know Oled more colorful but Lenovo screen also has fantastic color , so Oled its not big binifit , Lenovo has award comutiny awards , with Lenovo you can use it as a tablet as a pc its windows not close system like steam , if you are talking about battery, yes lenovo is bad but also Oled with big game its give you one hour more ? You can use power bank or direct to charge cable , outside i think 1 hour to 2 hours its enough you will not sleeep outside home to say that no charging , Lenovo also has 2 USB type c so this is big big binifit , what else FPS mode you can , i saw alot of game had played by you on lenovo there were very very nice playing experience, i dont know why you are going for steam deck??

Rog ally is honestly better than this two. Better audio, better feel in the hands (ergonomically light), better display the only native landscape vrr display 1080P, no compatibility issues like changing integer scaling because the screen is too big or the resolution has to go down from 1600P of legion go to lower res because it can't sustain performance. Also the last thing of the draw is that the ROG Ally is just plug and play you don't need to check for any steam verification check or proton or whatsoever, all current games can run on rog ally the sd oled can't run Avatar Pandora, Alan Wake 2, Skull and Bones, Dragons Dogma 2
