6 Reasons WHY I LOVE MY Legion GO - Best Buy in 2024?

[@pieterdewaal1484]

Love the Design. The screen looks epic.

[@WeDoTech]

It really is a very nice device! However - The ROG ally x and Msi Claw 8 was just announced aaaaand now i want that too haha!

[@pieterdewaal1484]

Haha I hear you. What has been your favorite handheld device this year so far

[@jamesikhimioya562]

i feel the same way, i wish i could afford it. Even with the new rog all i’ll still choose the legion go everyday

[@CivilizedOfficial]

@@jamesikhimioya562 Same, if I'd have the money, I'd get a Legion Go, but I don't have the money unfortunately

[@iPadChannel]

I own a $1,400 gaming laptop, and a Legion Go, and if I had to choose only one of them, I would prefer to have the Legion Go mainly because it is a hand held gaming device AND it provides a full desktop experience (i connect the Legion Go to a monitor, mouse and keyboard thru a USB C dock).

[@WeDoTech]

Now that is some good old fashioned logic, right there!

[@ShibuyaKid66]

Absolutely love my Legion Go! Upgraded to a 2280 SSD on mine and a egpu for the 4k TV. But when the wife hogs the TV for her K-dramas I can just use it portably. Always feels like a win with my LeGo!

[@WeDoTech]

Loved reading your comment! Exactly what portable gaming stations were made for and the legion go with that SSD upgrade is OP!

[@niklasa892]

Hey! What egpu setup did you go with and how much did it cost?

[@thetechievet]

Once Lenovo gets the consistent support and drivers going, it'll be more of a beast. At the moment, I have a ROG Ally that I got fresh for $540, replaced the original hard drive with a full size SSD thanks to an L-bracket and love it. It's just so optimized and doing manual optimization to Windows increases the experience. Even with that said, the Legion GO was a different experience and felt cooler, but the software and lack of polish brought me back to the Ally. Like I said, once Lenovo gets on track with support, it'll be unstoppable. *Tip: For standby like the Steam Deck, change your power setting to hibernate, that is the windows equivalent, it'll save the system state and power the hardware down, when you turn it back on it'll boot, but will be at where you were.

[@WeDoTech]

Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment!😁 As you said, updates and drivers are going to make the experience much more bearable, just like the ALLY and CLAW got so much better after updates! Good job on that upgrade tough, I can just think the difference it makes is CRAZY!🎉👀

[@mredizon00]

For productivity I'll choose my Legion 7. For gaming it will be Legion Go

[@WeDoTech]

Easy choice! Just imagine, tech actually making life more bearable!😅

[@JoshuaChehov]

Love my legion go as well! runs just about everything i throw at it and I love being able to detach controllers and have a massive screen. Just upgraded my internal SSD and I now have 3.5TB of storage in this thing!

[@WeDoTech]

MAN WENT FULL SEND....😅 Love it! Thanks for the comment and like!🎉😎

[@JoshuaChehov]

@@WeDoTech I really did 😅 but great video as well man!

[@Invid72]

I'm a digital packrat too. Rocking 5TB of storage on mine. I use it as a portable computer in addition to a gaming handheld so I stuffed it full of storage.

[@jimmycarpenter6612]

I feel like the Gob is a perfect hybrid of the other handhelds. You have the performance of the Ally, the touchpad like a steam deck, and the detachable controllers of a switch. Top those features with the best screen out of everything listed above and it's just an amazing device

[@WeDoTech]

Yeah, very good point there, but it is very heavy and clunky though...for smaller hands or kids that might be a struggle in the long run!?🤷‍♂️

[@jontechie]

I'm a Filipino Tech reviewer, and my content is mostly Legion Go and Steam Deck. I have the legion go for 6months now It has its pros and cons but a very powerful device and can play almost very game.

[@WeDoTech]

Great to meet you and thanks for watching! So you prefer the Legion Go over the steam Deck?

[@rannxerox3970]

A nice addition to a Go is a pair of XReal AR glasses. Not only does it project a large screen for your game but you can run software on your Go that translates the head movements to X-Y mousing and have your head movements translate to in game right stick movement, typically looking around. The Go has a gyro but I have not had a lot of success getting that to translate to left joy stick.

[@WeDoTech]

That sounds pretty cool and the headmovements that can translate to in-game movements is SICK! How long have you had a Legion Go?

[@rannxerox3970]

@@WeDoTech Ha, I actually got work to pay for this thing. To be fair, I have it plugged into my Samsung 43" monitor and use it as a PC at home for remote work. I got it about 4 months ago. I have an app (from Steam) that allows using the of the controllers and buttons to navigate Windows, launching apps, etc. I support machines on a manufacturing floor so I can hold it with the handles will using it to control machines.

[@alanriley1972]

Amazing handheld, I use it every day even over my steam deck oled. Battery not the best playing AAA games but I'm always playing at home anyway near a power outlet. The screen is epic. People say the speakers arnt great and yes when I bought it I thought that. But after a sound driver update and if you go into the sound settings and alter the equaliser to club mode it's perfectly fine. I use earphones alot anyways so the speakers arnt an issuse. It's just a great versatile device.

[@WeDoTech]

That's a thing these handhelds get right is that they can go anywhere, even if they need to be close to a power source, it's a anywhere PC, if you have a screen and some cables, your ready to go! How long have you had your Legion GO?

[@TewaAya]

Truestrike could be good for rts/clicker games. Strategy games are good for attention retention if you need to wait long hours without much focus drain.

[@WeDoTech]

Definitely like myself a good strategy game!! Thanks for leaving a comment!😎👌

[@CivilizedOfficial]

I just subbed, your content seems very fun to warch, and I love the Legion Go!

[@WeDoTech]

AWESOME, thanks for the sub...glad you enjoyed! Do you have a Legion Go yourself?

[@CivilizedOfficial]

@@WeDoTech I've been wanting it for a few months already (probably since February), but I don't own one

[@Jason_P]

You CAN install and play games on the SSD card. There's a performance hit, but the hit depends on the complexity of the game. For smaller titles, it's fine.

[@WeDoTech]

oh ok, awesome! What would you consider, smaller titles?

[@odendzap]

Brother Legion GO or New ROG Ally X which one to buy sir Confusing Max Need Suggestion Thank You

[@iPadChannel]

Get the Legion Go 1TB. It is the best Windows Handheld gaming device. I just got mine 2 days ago and im playing God of War, Witcher 3, Street Fighter 4, Tekken 8, Forza 4 and Counter Strike without any issues.

[@kizzorama]

Both are good. Legion for bigger 144hz screen and detachable controllers. Ally X for epic battery, smaller form factor, lightness, vrr and more portability. I got both. Use the Go at home in bed and Ally at airports/out of the house.

[@WeDoTech]

HAALOooo! Personally, man, I'd go for the Legion Go..nothing beats a bigger and better screen but the weight of it almost got me on the ROG ALLY X side...

[@ziegaubrey1643]

@@iPadChannel still enjoying it?

[@iPadChannel]

@@ziegaubrey1643 Definitely! Just bought 1TB microsd, having a total of 2TB worth of storage, and recently bought Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. Legion Go is insane, knowing that you're not only getting a handheld gaming device, but also, you're getting a gaming windows PC in a tablet form factor. Honestly, I haven't used my iPad Air 5 since I bought the Legion Go.

[@LuisTorres-lo8qj]

What's the name of the case you are using for this computer? I have not receive mine but tomorrow I should receive this pc. Edit: Never mind, I received my Lenovo Legion Go and it came with the case.

[@WeDoTech]

Aaaahh awesome man, yeah it's awesome that it comes with it! How are you finding the Legion Go!?👀😎

[@tryhardpubgm9672]

Which cable you use to take sound from focusrite to the phone !?

[@WeDoTech]

😂i dont, focusrite goes into my laptop

[@brightya]

My best buy since 2017 of Switch

[@WeDoTech]

Awesome to hear, I wanted a Switch so badly but never got around to it, are you still playing on it??

[@sergeikirjuhhin1283]

Ye me too i use with glasses and this is awesome

[@WeDoTech]

That's great, I would love to know, how many times do you use the detachable controller as mouse?🧐

[@jackykwan2580]

If they didn't do the gimmick fps mode the joycons would have been way smaller with better ergonomics, that bulky joycons dont look comfy at all and those sharp edges.

[@WeDoTech]

Yeah the ergonomics is something to get used to! With it being that heavy as well!

[@gumzster]

"Games don't load fast enough on SD cards" Not true. If you have a fast SD card you will hardly notice any difference. I have roughly 50% of my Steam games on an SD card, including big games like Diablo 4. Works great.

[@WeDoTech]

But what SD card do you have tough...👀

[@gumzster]

@@WeDoTech In my Go I currently have a Samsung Pro Plus.

[@nivekrojam]

I was looking for this comment. 80% of my game library is on my microSD.

​@WeDoTech especially if your doing older or nonAAA games

[@kizzorama]

What about Onexplayer x1 mini? Its got oculink and a bigger battery. Same form factor. Also much more ram.

[@WeDoTech]

I'm going to be honest with you, I haven't heard of the Onexplayer x1 mini before you brought it up in your comment and I'm contacting them now to see if I can get a test model, I want to give you an accurate review👌🫡

@@WeDoTech can't wait. Subbed.

[@WarAlex16]

Would be great if Lenovo made its own eGPU. So patches and drivers are made faster and more efficient.

[@WeDoTech]

Yeah, I really think every company whishes they made every part internally.

[@WeDoTech]

a Few guys got an eGPU to work on the Legion go👀👌

[@Rmpr2033]

Hello Do you think 16 gigabytes of RAM is enough for this device for current and future games, or should I go for the ROG Ally X? Some current games, like Hogwarts Legacy, consume a lot of RAM and cause stuttering. Is it worth buying now with its updates for current and future games? I prefer the Legion go more because of its larger screen and design, but the 16 GB of RAM it has makes me hesitant.

[@treemium1467]

The Ally X does have shed loads of RAM but, in my opinion, the APU will become a problem sooner than the memory.

[@WeDoTech]

Yeah, it's definitely enough, games we're nice and smooth! It's still a handheld device , and in most cases, the updates they get really improve performance! I don't know how future proof it'll be, it's still a handheld device trying to mimic a PC so keep that in mind but it's packed with strong features, so it'll go for a long while!

[@WeDoTech]

I think AI will take care of that in the future👌

[@techtitanuk5609]

Why does any video I watch the resolution looks poor?

[@WeDoTech]

Must be slow internet, my dude?🤷‍♂️

[@COBRO56HD]

So, as far as FPS mode is considered, it is a H U G E learning curve if you aren't a vertical mouse user. No definitive DPI settings doesnt help here either. I play at 1500 DPI and the closest settings by default are 300 away each. The idea is you wanna play FPS games in a pinch, i prefer taking a mouse with me and toggling FPS mode to use the left controller to move and using the proper mouse to aim. Makes for a gloriously compact setup that works wonders if you get your keybinds on the left controller exactly where you want them

[@WeDoTech]

Amazing! It sounds like you got life figured out!!😅

[@vasiliybr9510]

В Lenovo legion go мне не нравится то, что, если включишь блокирование в 60 fps, то не будет работать rsr. А в остальном я очень доволен, хотя первые 3 дня использования я 4 раза переустанавливал Windows (в первый раз из-за того, что мне мешали иероглифы, потом из-за того, что при подключении к 4K-TV изображение повернулось на 90° и обратно не возвращалось и прочее) Сейчас с rsr в Call of duty mw-1 2019 у меня масштабируется изображение 800p -> 1080p при 120 fps, играю на 23" мониторе 100 hz и это отличный, как вы говорите, "экспириенс" (experience) В отличие от Steam deck, Lenovo тянет все игры, и это отлично! Хотя Steam deck это неплохое бюджетное решение в своём роде, но всё же при подключении к TV он не радует.

[@WeDoTech]

Dam man, you went trough a lot but I'm glad you found a solution! 👍😎

[@vasiliybr9510]

@@WeDoTech Thanks for the comment! I am always surprised by the comments of both Western and Eastern people: some are positive, others are well-mannered. It’s the same thing in Russia, which is gradually turning into North Korea: people are evil and comments are toxic; these people watch propaganda on TV and believe that the whole world is the enemy (except for the Taliban and North Koreans, who are considered friends). And KZbin will be turned off soon. Even in 1989, there was more freedom in the USSR and Motley Crue and Bon Jovi came to Moscow with a concert - even then there was more freedom, and people were kinder and more decent.

[@francisa7997]

is it normal that the controller will detach while using it like @1:44 ?

Nah, it's definitely not normal, it's just a tricky mechanism to get used to and I didn't reattach the controller properly!
