The Go can be anything 3 in 1, maybe 4 in one. I like the thickness in the back. Like baby got back, you can upgrade the ram and memory and get a gpu with Graphic card for more power.

[@iPadChannel]

@@CJKnowsTECH Legion Go. For me its the true iPad Pro killer. With power saving mode on, and controllers remove, its gives me 5-7 hours of productive time. I have not touched my iPad Pro since i purchased the Legion Go. Mainly because it runs a full Desktop Windows 11. The iPadOS is the main bottle neck (and frustration) of some iPad Pro users, which, in my one month of use, Legion Go almost instantly became my laptop replacement (and to think Ive been trying to convince myself for many years that the iPad can be a laptop replacement with an M1 chip, which unfortunately, even with M4s, its not gonna happen).

[@Marty_YouTuber]

@@cory2016 Yes i prefer the Legion GO as well/

[@iPadChannel]

Many don't realize it yet, but the Legion Go is actually an iPad Pro Killer when in tablet mode, and with power saving mode enabled. It runs a full desktop Windows 11 OS that lasts between 5 - 7 hours on regular use (typing documents, doing research, checking emails, writing computer programs, editing and rendering video snippets, and creating infographic designs using Adobe fireworks) It being a handheld game for me is just a bonus. I came to realize this when I noticed I haven't used my iPad Pro for an entire month since I bought the Legion Go. As a matter of fact, I don't even bring my laptop to work either. Nowadays, I just carry the Legion Go (without the controllers) and a Microsoft Folding keyboard and Microsoft Arc Mouse to get the job done. And for some people who asks if you can draw with it using a stylus, yeah, I got a Wacom stylus as well which is a good counterpart of the apple pencil. Believe it or not, comparing the cost of this device with all the accessories I bought, it is still waaay cheaper than a 1TB iPad Pro (apple pencil and magic keyboard not included)

I got the ally x I tried the legion go for a bit. I do like the portability of the ally x and the battery life. The screen on the go is incredible. My recommendation is if you don't have a gaming PC, get the Go as it has great performance and a brilliant screen. If you do have a gaming PC, I'd get th ally x as you're gaming PC screen is likely going to be better than the screen on a handheld. And your use case will probably be to beat and finish as many games portably. Just my thoughts. Can't go wrong with either!

[@aaronbrown9110]

I want the Go > rog mainly because the screen looks awesome, and I like the Nintendo Switch/ tablet aspect. I will mainly play docked. The biggest issue I hear is that you HAVE to tinker. I dabble in emulation, so no problem. Which should I get?

I see that there is a better battery on the ally x,but...i dont know....when saw the lenovo legion go for the first time (i thought the only real handheld was Nintendo) i instanly fell in love. It has the perfect weight for me,controls are okay,i didnt exactly play a game on it,i only checked it out but it did look confusing. I dont know,i just feel the lenovo calling me. And looking further into it,it seems like the perfect replacement to my laptop. A usb hub will turn it into a great setup

The weight you're listing is incorrect btw. Legion Go is 854 grams. The weight you're listing is the Legion Go with controllers detached.

[@iPadChannel]

likewise

[@jonathantroyer2822]

Thought that too. I seen that Lenovo plans are to continue support until at least 2029 regardless of newer Legion Go's like the 2nd one. I think the 2nd one through will have the 2nd gen of the AMD z-extreme apu which only improves the cpu side of the chip. The third gen z apu, according to AMD's timeline, will improve the gpu side of the chip improving from the 780m graphics. Which i think is the one I'm going to just end up waiting for. Maybe 2 years and I think this first gen will still be decent when the 3rd gen comes out in a couple years

[@freebee95553]

Tbh the lenovo bigger screen is a massive win for me, and having a track pad is perfect for a OSRS player like me, plus the weight isn't a problem for me anymore because the kick stand is universal, if you are sitting down you can have the kick stand out so you could have it support its own weight while you lay it on your lap, and reduce the weight on your arms to zero lol, but yea if you want to have it airborne then yes it will be heavy, but then you are just being dumb by not utilizing the kick stand. Also the battery life is also a stupid topic... because everywhere we go in 2024 you could 7/10 have it plugged in your car or hotel. I am a truck driver so this is zero issue for me when it comes to battery life, since when using it I am 9/10 have it plugged... The Lenovo Legion go feels like a mobile gaming computer on the go, and everything else feels like a mobile console on the go.

I bought LeGo for 750€ in Spain, Ally X is 150€ more expensive. For health reasons I can’t sit on a chair after work for just playing so I use the handheld mostly at home and LeGo became a perfect substitute for Steamdeck in my case. I love that massive screen, and battery is not an issue playing at home. I also have a 60€ power bank that works well with the Legion Go (Baseus 65W). On the contrary more ram avoids tinkering with the VRAM in more demanding games, in case of Ally X, but I don’t think is really a big deal.

Since memory is shared between system and graphics chip, you can asign how much you asign to system or virtual menory for graphics (VRAM), usually 4GB-6GB. Nevertheless is not a problem at all in LeGo, games work great. In heavy duty (30w) lasts 1h. At 25W 1:30h and 20W up to 2h. With old games or emulation you can set 15W and get more than 2h.

The 16x9 vs 16x10 point is moot anymore. Many games support both.

[@aussiedigger1441]

Bit unfair considering Go is still at 1st gen?

[@JinKazama-x1z]

I wish the d-pad was better on LeGO, I mostly play fighting games. The diagonal inputs can be quite inconsistent. No I will not play fighting games with an analog stick.

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

You talked about look and feel but not the actual performance as that's the only thing that matters. On SteamDeck and Ally most game struggle due to low power. How does Lenovo perform agains X?

[@gurleyz]

The Legion Go is just perfect though, especially if you use a battery pack with it. The Biggest screen and detachable controllers plus true customization options are just superior and the New Legion Go 2 and Legion Go Lite were just leaked, so I can't wait to see what the NEW ones are gonna be like? I hope they keep the screen size and upgrade it to OLED plus it's pretty much guaranteed it is going to be way more powerful with tons more battery life. It's likely gonna cost us though, but you get what you pay for.

[@BCastillo718]

I want the Ally X for battery but the screen on the legion go is so beautiful. I’m stuck 😭😭

[@VTR1756]

You can mod legion go with twice the battery life

[@KadenDavis-ox5er]

If you put the rog ally x on manual mode, you can switch to 30w turbo mode without being plugged in fyi

[@MrThistleMilk]

That CRAFTD London ice you got around your neck tho 🔥

[@DomanikDaily]

That's not fair comparison. ROG Ally X is an update of ROG Ally. Legion Go 2 will be better than ROG Ally X

[@agnody1]

I will just say that personally I think the Legion go is more worth it due to the cheaper price but yet amazing performance. Coming from the ROG Ally Z1extreme model to this was an experience for me lol. The higher resolution ( mostly 1200p for performance purposes) is really nice and doesn’t impact performance as you would think it would. In fact I was getting more frames at the same settings in most if not all the games in my collection. Also while nice, the VRR display is not the game changer you may think. I have found my games play smoother on the Legion go despite it not having the feature

[@gangatalishis]

I feel like the screen and device in general with the Lenovo is just a tad too big. If they made it 7.5” instead of 8” and reworked the controller I think they would have a hit. Also, does the go support gyro?

[@lynxmaxx]

I just bought the legion go at best buy for 649 canadian. They did not had it in stock so they order one. I should have it in a few days. Still gonna keed my sd lcd. Cheers from Canada, québec, Gatineau.

[@yeng9241]

Had lego and sd oled. Just received ally x a few days ago. Thought i cant move on from lego as i play mostly fc24 so the bigger screen helps a lot. Now that i tried x for a few days. Cant stop playing. Surely smaller screen but the battery life is so damn good. Playing fc24 i get almost 3 hours 😁. With lego usually under 1 hours 15 minutes already need to connect to my powerbank. Also the x is so comfortable to held. Also Ally x is so quiet. Barely any noise playing fc24 but smooth 60fps. Really quite a dilemma which one to keep now😂. So hard to play on lego now

[@doggy_047_oldaccount]

word like it's a handheld ofc it's gonna have a 7 inch screen

[@JosephEllis-ep7sg]

I tried the X but simply couldn't accept the downgrade in screen size from using my LLG.. plus you just cant ignore the Elephant in the room and eventually the likeliness is you will have to deal with Asus customer services or their rma process. Not for me thanks.

[@ott198]

what? Ally X is not hevier and Legion Go is not 640g- it is 862 (at least mine, spec says 854g). You should feel the difference when having both in hands?

[@CJKnowsTECH]

I quoted the weight without joystick handles on accident

[@marcosmos7478]

I have the Legion Go, Steam Deck OLED, a modded Nintendo Switch OLED, and a regular Nintendo Switch(V2). Am I really missing something without having the ASUS ROG Ally/X? Or the MSI Claw? I kind want to sell one of them but idk lol. I might wait for the Legion Go 2

[@GameDevThis]

I use my Legion go for almost everything. I have a msi raider 3080 thats become pretty much a television because all my gaming and everyday browsing can be done on the go. Not to mention that I use it to make music and it handles FL studio and pro tools like a champ. When it comes to copying speeds tho, my msi is the number 1 choice because copying large files takes 3 times longer on my legion go

[@crazyk3n807]

Say it again for the people in the back 🔥

[@aaronbrown9110]

Help me choose one. I really like the Go, and i think most of the issues I've heard can be updated like the wasted 144 rfr. Rogs battery is better, but same chip? Rog is more ready to go, but is it better. I really like Legions screen, controllers, and kick stand. Or just convince me the tablet form is overrated 😅

[@camaralamine9746]

You already knows the right one .Anyone who start with legion go can never choose Ally x over go

[@Anonymous__________]

I have the Lenovo and the ASUS, I love the Lenovo display size, but also hate the Lenovo size, I’ll usually use the Lenovo in the house, and the asus if I have to travel

[@ajd823]

Should I get one of these gaming of handhelds or a gaming laptop?

[@HBT.Dallian]

Depends of ur use case. Laptops will have better cooling, better battery, more ram (maybe) and a dedicated gpu. Overall, laptops can give u better performance. But if u want to game these are more comfortable. Basically, you trade performance for something more comfortable or convenient. Personally? I want the Legion Go. With a dock and a keyboard u have a pretty decent PC.

[@RedNineTeen]

Legion go for me! Screen wins every time

[@hiepho555]

It is hard to make decision, i like the lenovo because they controller is detachable, and i like the portability of the asus

[@Russiangamerpro2021]

They told me that larger display will take more battery life than smaller display smaller display will take less battery power because depends how much power does it needs to deliver from a larger screen or two smaller screen

[@leifsEVO]

How is the biggest difference NOT display size?

[@abdallahfayed7888]

ppl dont like how big it is since they want portability

[@NSaysSilly]

@@abdallahfayed7888not true I actually went with the legion go because it’s bigger and more immersive

[@megakoni1]

@@abdallahfayed7888 i don't understand this argument. For both the legion go and the ally x you need a big case and some sort of Bag or Bagpack. You can't put the Ally into your pockets

[@86gp]

Cheers brutha for an honest review! I got a legion go at the moment and i am trying to figure out if i can tweak the absolute F out of it with overclock, so if anyone that is handy with that type of stuff hit me up! Really wanna know if it is possible to overclock the ryzen z extreme than default clock speeds etc.

[@jackykwan2580]

I would have considered the legion go if it doesnt have the fps mode gimmick with weird buttons designed all over for the fps mode. The detachable controller is nice but the design and ergonomics are terrible it could have been comfy just like a steam deck grip.

[@StopMeFast]

I’d really love if you’d review the Onexplayer X1 AMD, I mean yer it’s not for everyone because the size, but my god is it special!

[@RangerxTurbo]

🤔 so im a truck driver and i mostly do borderlands, cod, gta and gonna try boulders gate. Any ideas on ally x or a legion go? How much better does it look on a certain one cause im going to bestbuy tomorrow to pick up one of these 2

[@mansoso3903]

The Rog Ally X is an absolute no brainer, for someone like yourself. The 80watt battery can give you up to 3hrs of battery, if you set the tdp to 17watts, which is all you need tbh. Also, get a ugreen 130w power bank, which can literally give you a whole day of gameplay, if you’re on the go.

[@mansoso3903]

Also another thing is, the Rog ally having a smaller screen is a great advantage for a handheld, because you can set most games at 900p, and it’ll still look amazing whereas, the Legion go having a bigger screen, will mean having to set the games at a higher resolution, which means slower frame rate and top of this, it has a 40watt battery, which is way smaller than the Rog ally X

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

I think the Legion Go is currently the best handled gaming PC on the market. The Steamdeck is awesome and all but it's significantly underpowered by 2004 standards. The Legion Go will play literally anything, it's almost 9 teraflops, the PS5 is 10. It's basically a 780m iGPU and they are almost like magic.

[@tx3973]

Trying to decide now which device.....💆🏽‍♂️. Just learned the Legion runs on Linux vs Win 11. All I want to be able to do is play both my PS5 games and Xbox. Any feedback is most welcome....🤝🏽
