Lenovo Legion Go - A PC Gamer's Perspective

[@dahe8883]

With a mod to go to 3TB of storage, it carries my roms and emulators, my music, and all my steam games and files. The screen is fantastic. And it's a PC. And you can just use a controller. Great for travel and downtime in the car or airplane. Ear buds are your friend since it has a real jack or BT. For what you get it's high value.

You couldn’t have said it better, saw countless of reviews that says don’t get it yet but I remember getting my steam deck early and couldn’t even play red dead and months later it could. So I’m glad I got my 2tb version. Already got a 1tb sd card so I’m glad this would be my daily for about a year 🎉

[@oliverherrada]

I have been playing with both ROG Ally and the Legion Go; ROG has a slight better performance and a killer sound quality, but in my case I returned the Allly and kept the Legion just because of that screen size, is just gorgeous, I enjoyed it so much while playing Tomb Raider, Doom and COD. So I took a hit on the audio and a little bit in the performance (not much...) but Im very happy with the immersive experience the screen provides. BTW, VRR is not there on the Legion but believe me, just us geeks can see the difference, the regular Joe go even notice it. So depending in what you enjoy the most you wont go wrong with any of these handhelds.

[@maozuka8808]

As the device release is still in its infancy, give Lenovo abit of time to drop some updates to improve its capabilities. I agree that for sound, at stock/ootb, it loses out to ROG Ally, but the community has quickly found workarounds to improve the sound output. Performance wise, its really up to the individual, for me, if I am not really looking at the fps counter, the difference in experience between both devices is negligible.

[@vergeofwill]

On the performance side of things, this will get way better. Rog ally had the same problems on release.

[@jrno93]

The performance boost on the ally is because of the resolution. It's lower. Technically it's the same chip just running at different resolution

[@perfectgaming788]

resident evil 2 and battlefield 1 plays beautiful as well

[@Tdfries]

I find it perfect for my needs. I can use it as a windows tablet for watching movies or KZbin. I can play games decently well in handheld mode. I can dock it with my eGPU at my desk with a monitor and play fps games with keyboard and mouse. This is the perfect device for me.

[@Egggcorn]

Not going to lie, I approached this with the expectation that I wouldn't like it, thinking nothing could beat my ROG Ally. Well, boy, was I wrong! This thing is a beast, and honestly, I can't wait for them to polish this baby with updates.! Great vid

I feel like we need somewhat of a love child between the Legion Go and GPD WIN 4/Aya Neo Slide. Something where we can have mouse and keyboard out the box, have some VR connectivity with the detatchable controllers. More or less an All-in-One design. I feel like they could make a controller hookup where we could have a standard game controller on one hand and flip it around and reattatch the contollers into a mouse (funky as it may be). I feel like if a company makes a system like this, it should end up being a strong competitor against even the updated steam deck.

Good analysis. I think Valve is right in stating openly that apus have to improve drastically to really make a new level of performance possible and to be really viable batteries would need to do that aswell.

[@BenRK90]

Crowded space? I count 3 real contenders and a handful of $1000+ devices no one buys. But being overly picky aside, it is a shame this one missed the mark. The lack of trackpads on the Ally are what killed it for me. The customization the Steam Deck offers is still the best thing about it in my opinion (and there's a lot to like, but bla bla bla don't need me singing its praises) Also, why are they putting super high res screens on handhelds? The Steam Deck's 800p screen is solid overall. I can see an argument for 1080p, but 1600p!?!?!? No. That is a stupid waste of resources that serves only to make the handheld worse via bad battery life. What game is even going to hit that target? This is an issue with phone makers as well. Sticking high resolution displays into devices that don't need them. We hit diminishing returns with phone screens back in... mid 2010? But whatever. Lenovo is allowed to waste their R&D budget on pointless features.

I don't know why companies are trying to take on the Steam Deck with higher resolution screens. You don't have the battery capacity to support those resolutions -- Valve would have been using those resolutions in the first place were it not for the battery hit.

[@hibikiholmes2867]

I was initially intrigued with it due to the FPS Mode but the more reviews I've seen of it, the more substantial issues kept popping up (poor battery life, janky software, nearly no use cases where the high refresh rate would be taken advantage of, etc.). With the added fact that the OLED Steam Deck just got released where they focused more on the longevity of gameplay sessions i.e. better battery life, better thermals and all while keeping the price to be as affordable as possible, the FPS Mode gimmick just doesn't hold up to be a real system seller, y'know?

I was waiting for this unit to come out and I was actually at Best Buy on release date hoping they had one to buy but they didn’t and I’m actually happy I didn’t order it. I’m not a PC gamer so I actually wanted for emulation because of the big screen but I recently just bought a mini PC with a Ryzen 7 and windows has a lot of issues running emulator. I’m sure it’s because I’m not taking the time to adjust the settings properly but I don’t want to go through that on a handheld PC that’s almost $800. Now you have convinced me that I made a better decision going for an Odin 2.

[@jbach43]

im gonna agree with Candy, while I watch reviews and all, I still like to make my own choices, just using the reviews for info and all that. I made my choice on the Legion Go the day I played with one in store , I had my ROG ally with me, still within return time lol)returned the Ally, and bought the Open Box Legion Go they had in stock, took it home, it updated, and has been great since. personally I find it very comfortable in hand, the fan noise isnt noticable to me, even detached the controllers fit my hands right (switch joycons feel to small to me, and I have small hands) and while a 1440 screen is overkill here, its beautiful when watching movies. and you can always drop it to 1980x1200 or 1280x800. and a lot of the time on battery I just drop the refresh to 60. now mind you I never tried the original software the Go came with so maybe it was bad in the begining. but like all the others, the software improved over time

[@Scorptice]

the resolution of the screen is actually brilliant because it enables crisp upscaling since it's a multiplier of 800. so for demanding titles you go 1280x800 native and upscale it to the 1600 resolution and it will be a much better result than for instance on the ally.

[@TechDweeb]

Legion Go is far more innovative and it's way better than the Steam Deck, even with that new revised deck. It hasn't even been a whole month for Legion and the updates will roll out to make Legion hand held a way better choice.

I disagree. I have both. And 90% of time I choose Steamdeck. The only advantages of Legion are a bigger display and more power. For ALL the rest Steamdeck is way better. Better ergonomics, better screen (oled), better battery, lighter, Steam OS, great in streaming, better controller and better aptic feedback, way better trackpads. So according to my needs Steamdeck is the best device and objectively for 90% of cases it is the best handheld experience at all.

[@jbach43]

@@AtrusDesign while I dont have a steamdeck, I do plan on getting one, but looking for at the 256GB LCD version, as the updates arent enough for me to justify the extra $$ (since I have the Legion Go already). the OLED is nice, Granted but the IPS screen that Lenovo used is rather nice color wise, not quite OLED nice, but enough for me (when I am im around both main types of screens all the time. Oled isnt as impressive as it once was to me, even Amoled doesnt quite do it anymore) id use the steam deck for lower end gaming mostly and exploring the Linux side of gaming. maybe after I get one i'll agree more with the comments, but as to ergonomics, most keep saying how bad the Legion Go is in that regard, yet I love the feel of it. only other handheld PC like this I can compare to is the ROG ally, and I prefer the feel of the Go. yes it has more weight but, the overall feel is nicer

But this device can be a pretty cool "all-in-one" device for someone who wants to have something that can be used as a mini pc for the office / travel with windows, as a tablet with android apps, as a gaming handheld, and as a console that can be connected to TV(?) for couch gaming with the detachable controls. Seems pretty cool to me and i can't think of other device that try to do all this at once (are there any?). The other devices you mention like the steamdeck can't do that.

[@TechDweeb]

Yup! You can definitely plug this into your TV and use the controllers on the couch. I guess we don't mention it because it's a pretty obvious thing, but you're right, it probably should get mentioned more often. The steam deck can do that, except for the detachable controllers, you'd need an extra controller for couch mode.

I went to the gaming exhibition and played with legion go. One of my worries is that the web browsing speed was so slow that I thought I was using a 4th gen i3 chip. I want to believe that it was a wifi problem (since hundreds of devices are sharing the wifi), but even considering the fact, the speed was so slow. Could you share your experience as a window laptop/tablet?

[@Mr.NiceGuy1986]

I have a two tb version of the legion go since november 3rd and this thing blows the steam deck out of the water. I have not had problems with slow internet speed at all but I'm running 1.2g speeds.

[@somerandomhuman8405]

Input delay, bad speakers, bad dpad, no Vrr, legion space crashes, dead zone on joystick, uncomfortable to use, heavy, lots of software glitches that ruin the experience. The only thing I like is the big display everything else sucks. I’m returning it and keeping my ally for AAA games and my OLED galaxy tab s8 plus for emulation and remote play.

[@themadatheist1976]

I was thinking about getting the SteamDeck and doing the 32GB RAM mod, but I'm interested in the Go ATM and hopefully someone can do a RAM mod for that also. IMO this should've had at least 24GB of RAM so the vRAM can be set at 8, leaving 16 for the system. Shame there's no 2TB option, but the 1TB is a fairly priced upgrade at $50. Micro Center offers 2TB upgraded units for $800 but then again, they don't ship...... Hopefully Lenovo can redesign the joycons for comfort and make the d-pad more pronounced. The screen res is a bit overkill, 1080p would've been fine.

[@TechDweeb]

Agreed

[@Iatecheetos]

@themadatheist1976 I’m new to gaming pcs I only had ps4 and want to choose between steam deck oled and lenovo legion go, the qualities I’m looking for are better performance and battery and comfort, while Lenovo has better performance does it have any major flaws? I heard the lenovo system is a bit glitchy and uneasy and the same with game customization and having to update drivers, other than these issues are there any more or it’s just this? I want something to be guaranteed, would you please be kind enough to give me some advice about it, I’d really appreciate it

[@themadatheist1976]

@@Iatecheetos the Go is a Windows PC and is new so it'll take time to work out the flaws. The SD been out for awhile so they had time.

[@Caba-Rojo]

It’s kinda jacked. They’re basically testing the market and device with the 16GB… sell a ton of them… then this Xmas or next they’ll price line the device with a 32 upgrade. Didn’t even have peripherals ready to go. C’mon Lenovo! I’d rather go OneXPlayer2, OneXFly, Kun or Win Mini. You can get either 32 or 64GB of ram, the fly and Mini are 120hz screens… and you can get up to 4TB installed without having to open the device.

[@evilcupcake2500xxx]

I like the ally but if stick drift begins which happens alot these days you will have to get ready to repair by taking it apart. i like the legion because if they beging to drift i can replace them quickly this is only a problem if you plan on owning it for a couple of years. Am im the only one that fear the drift

[@TechDweeb]

I definitely fear the drift

[@evilcupcake2500xxx]

😂😂😂😂😂 im a call it the spooky drift ghost 👻👻👻👻

[@MobileDecay]

Don't downplay that Switch Deck. That's exactly how Sony made the Portal! 😂

[@ArtiicxAzreal]

the legion go is a amazing handheld (like it more then my steam deck) most handheld doenst hold up battery life anyway on demanding games plus most of the time like my switch i have the power cable in so i dont mind it

[@X862go]

agreed returned mine

[@badmoose01]

Gabe Newell saw the Ally and Legion Go and said “fine, I’ll do it myself” and released the OLED SteamDeck.

[@TechDweeb]

Yup. That's how I remember it.

[@Scars_on_my_nose]

My room is a filthy mess

[@TechDweeb]

That's why I told you to clean it! And clean out your ears while you're at it young man.

[@jimconner3983]

gameboy vibes like im a kid again. . im old. .

[@Nightykk]

After checking out the local price.. Yeah no, it is not worth it. Even the highest tier OLED Steam Deck is 110 dollars less, with the mid-tier Steam deck being $255 less. Cheapest Steam Deck is $420 less. The ROG Ally is ~$100 less.

[@knight67010]

I would put the speakers in the controllers.. why you Always need them .. for fps mouse not such good idea unless speakers where set as are on the system..on top

[@umbrellacorp.]

We reached a long way from the Sega Game Gear and the old Gameboy 1989 didn't we. Are you going to Review the New Playstation Portable next?.

[@TechDweeb]

Nope. I don't have a PS5 so it'd be silly to get that.

[@umbrellacorp.]

@@TechDweeb Seriously?!. I thought I was the only one who didn't have a PS5.

[@leodileodileo]

the problem whit those type of handled is the price, with a bit more money you can buy a laptop from msi.

[@Emma_madison]

I think the handheld always comes down to form factor.

[@leodileodileo]

I agree but not at that price. the steam deck for now is the only possible choice @@Emma_madison

[@KyIeMcCIeIIan]

Hey! Hey! Onion OS V4.2.3 has been out for 2 weeks now!! I hope I don't brick my Minis again, they were a PIA to unbrick. It's going to be nice being able to swap cards around a Mini and a Plus, and I hope they make it compatible with the next clamshell design Miyoo is working on too! Now THAT would be a feat. What if someone, in secret, created a master OS to rule all handheld emulators... could it be done?

[@chrisr1679]

Why do i feel like this was a forced negative review? His upbeat charm was nowhere to be seen in this video.

[@knight67010]

Btw the sticks are not normal size.. not even close to Xbox..may feel like it but they are not..

[@ifyournotfirstyourlast9843]

Subpar performance at 30fps aaand it drains the battery!!!! " THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! " " UNACCEPTABLE CONNDITIONS!!! "
