Are you Team Legion GO or Team ROG Ally? (Comment below)
ROG Ally: geni.us/ROGally
Legion GO: geni.us/LegionGo
Legion Slim 7i: geni.us/LegionSlim7I
Brother I want the Legion Go!!! But Sound Quality is a Big Deal for me especially playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What you don't hear can cost you in victim's who escape!!! I need to know if the Legion's speakers are really bad
They’re not great but they’re serviceable. I had the Ally at the initial launch and the software was hard to deal with (eventually I returned to unit). Ironically the Legion Go has given me the same issues. Main difference for why I prefer the Legion Go is the massive screen. But if you plan to dock your handheld then the Ally is the better choice. Plus Asus corrected a lot of the initial OS issues.
I didn't know about the deadzone issue until you brought it up for us right here. If you have a Steam Deck OLED I could see having a ROG Ally and a Laptop and a Gaming PC too. Lenovo No Go.
I had GO and Ally in shop. I sticked with Ally thanks to VRR. It was so smooth. Bigger screen is nice, but you need to downscale games and that looks worse on bigger display. VRR is a way to go at least for me. I have TV with VRR support and it is night and day. So Ally team
Of course the laptop 😂
Great review, exactly what i was looking for. No super deep rambles about cores and watts and this and that 😂 felt personal and informative on a consumer level. First video i seen of yours and i love it brobro!!
Great video. Love your calm and relaxed tone. I use FxSound for the Legion Go, and it has corrected and amplified the speaker sound.
Ahhh yes the first video I've seen for the FPS enthusiasts... Definitely subscribed and Thanks for the confirmation on Buying the ALLY.... I'm sure I will be the Docked type of player and see what it does in COD,GTFO,warhammer Darktides etc... ❤😊🎉
I got tired of the poor performance of the DECK and got the ally on a whim a few weeks ago after ordering the OLED deck. Definitely agree on portable feel and ergonomics. While not as seamless as the deck it's been a game changing upgrade. Also for travel the smaller form factor makes this much more usable on a plane. esp when there is a 110V outlet for 30W
Been waiting for this 💯💯
Great vid, still between the legion go and the aokzoe a1 pro. ps: you give me martin lawrence vibes 😅
cant wait for part 2. im getting the rog ally for my bday next month
If you're in the States I would buy it now. The Z1 extreme model is on sale at Best Buy for $100 off. I'm not sure the price will stay that way after the holidays.
I went with the Ally before buying I just heard that the software is now in a good place which is true and the Go needs more time to bake software wise. The VRR panel on the Ally also did it for me. Super comfortable to hold as well. I’ve been playing COD and love it.
Good video bro.. Helped me make a decision on what one to get!
What a refreshing review i love your style dude
Thanks I greatly appreciate that
The Stream Deck and the Ally were both super buggy and a mess when they came out but updates came out regularly and now they are both great. I’m sure the Lenovo Go will sort out all of its issues too.
The rog was actually great out the box. I think the more updates it got, the worst it got. Some updates did make it better
Awesome video, I am saving at the moment for the go
nice comparison I totally agree with you!!
Got the go for Christmas i play it docked mostly but its amazing cant wait for more updates over time never had the steam deck or ally but the deck wont cut it for me love playing my cfb revamped and def jam ffny its amazing
I love my RoG Ally. I also have an Alienware M17 R4 gaming laptop, but it's currently in the shop for repairs. I also got the charging dock for the Ally so i can run it on my tv for older emulators and such.
Nice
As someone who plays a lot of COD this video was helpful. I appreciate it
This was a very good video. Thank you so much!!!
Did your updating improve the sound quality of the Legion Go's Speakers?
Bought the ROG Ally about a month ago. Returned it to Best Buy a week ago. Currently waiting for my Legion Go to be delivered this upcoming Monday. The Ally was too small of a screen for me and I have perfect vision. It was just way too small of a screen for me after playing multiple games. I originally picked the Ally based off of the VRR but, seems like if you have the settings correct for whatever game you are playing, you really wont notice the non VRR display on the Legion from what I've read. I should've just bought the Legion Go from the start but here we are.. pretty excited to test it out and use it. On Reddit there's a huge thread just for the Legion Go and a dev or someone affiliated for the legion go posts all the new updates in the works if you want to stay updated on all the latest news/updates. Watching this video to see other peoples opinions on the comparisons of each. Great content, keep up the good work!
Got it yet, and if yes, is the Legion a good size overall?
For me its too heavy, I can't to use it in my hands for more than 30 minutes@@MaybeNotCalvin
@@MaybeNotCalvin yes I got it. Love it. Perfect size. Obviously heavier than the ally but I don't care. It's exactly what I was looking for.
@@TnoBambinou trippin
I got my Ally coming Wednesday before my Puerto Rico Trip.
I had the Ally Z1 Extreme for about 3 days. It was fun, but im being honest, these mobile gaming devices still have a long way to go for me to keep one long term. The cutbacks to get them to perform in a way im comfortable, as horrible.
The joystick issue on the legion is a software issue that they are fixing mid December.
Just found your channel and really enjoyed your down to Earth video-thanks for the view, liked your presentation. Have a subscribe! 👍
Legion Go is tentatively going to have a Deadzone & Response Curve fix on 12/15 per their Community Manager
I’m looking forward to it
@@CJKnowsTECH Would you do an update video before the end of the year? I’d love to know if this is fixed after that update.
Glad u spoke on the analogs these handhelds just keep doing that either u get a small screen good analogs huge screen bad analogs then theres the steam deck in between but lacks performance 😭😭😩
No, this is what’s up brother this is the exact type of content we need in this gaming community
Respect! Thanks
Loving your vape bro 😅 hope your having a good Xmas 🎄 I kinda want to get one of them for Xmas the ally looks better but dose it okay better 😅I care more about fps
Both are amazing. But I got an XG Mobile Dock and that puts me miles deep in the Asus rabbit hole
Im surprised that the Legion Go has "deadzone" problems, considering it has "hall-effect" joysticks, and the Rog Ally does not.
Great video thank you!
Thanks
It's almost the same machine, i think it's a matter of taste! I got the lenovo legion go and i am satisfied with it!
New subscriber😊 nice videos man keep it up
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks
I got a ASUS ROG Ally to play a few games and to replace my desktop and so far it is working out
Need that remote play review for PS5 and Series X.
I like the go more. Thats cos i have other handhelds already and i think it appeals more to ppl like me. Rog more of a first handheld. My go to mini pc is ayaneo 2, its a premium device, probably should upgrade it for some more juice, but im not that fussed. I dont get bogged down with numbers. Pc tech just aint that impressive where you need latest chips. Got a deck too, they hit lower numbers but they play really well. Go just that next level in screen size and how we use something. Being a handheld is its secondary or bonus. More a table top experience.
I can tell by the high quality of video and editing, you do not have a boo boo pc lol great vid
Got the Legion Go, gave my Rog ally to my 10yr old son, when you've played on that bigger screen theres no going back, well for me anyway. Plus i found the thumbsticks on the Ally were way to slippery and dont grip at all, and was so uncomfortable to hold for long gaming sessions compared to the Deck and Go. My son never plays on the Ally so i may go back to it to try my Xreal glasses when they arrive tmw
very nice review
Thanks
Great video! I won't buy either of these, despite my being a PC gamer. The Ally is missing a trackpad AND cooks storage cards. My preference is currently the Go, but I need to wait until next spring after they have numerous software updates to deal with most of the bugs.
Probably gonna buy one in January. I’ll let you know. Lol
Yeah get the legion go. Ally fanboys will say “but VRR” although I really haven’t seen it make much of a noticeable difference and I have both. I do find myself missing the legion go screen when playing my Ally though. It’s also nice to have the option to play less intense games at 1600p.
@@trevorb9281 I’m going against the grain just like with my laptop. Everyone told me not to buy an Acer Nitro but after a Ram upgrade the 3050 has performed extremely well with the I5 processor in it.
N just like with the LEGO (love that name) I’ve done my research and a CZcamsr like you has convinced me it’s a smart option for me.
Thanks again man. I appreciate you. Keep up the good work.
Emulation is not as good on the lego because of the d pad. Also, i do think the ally is more comfortable and lighter with a better d pad and definitely feels a lot more like a handheld. Some games are better on the lego obviously because of the bigger screen. If i had to get rid of one, it would be the Lego, but i am thinking if i should keep both the ally and the lego.
I just got mine a couple days ago and I didn't have a long set up process.. Didn't have to download any drivers and I'm playing baulders gate ... Soooo did I set it up wrong..
The way you threw away that stand made me 😂
Wait for software fix for legion go... One more week and it will be fix, otherwise you can cancel deadzones in steam settings for controllers (thats what I did). Ergonomics are for bigger hands. The vertical mouse is strange to use... Feel that is crazy lol
I’ll definitely make an update video after
No need to wait. I bought Lenovo Go over a month ago with a known USB-C SSD bug, because i knew it would be fixed in BIOS and Lenovo already fixed it.
You should check out and make a video for the onexplayer 1s, 2, or mini
I’ve got 20+ hrs in mw3 without issue on the go. Wasn’t even aware of - potential anti cheat issue lol
I just got the ally and I’m loving it! But I’m thinking about switching it to the legion go just for the bigger screen, the stand on the back, and can disconnect controller… what yall think?
That's also what I was thinking but, the ally is more polished out rn, so I'm just gonna wait until the Go has had more updates. Also its good to see if they are regularly updating it.
Bad idea
@@Nano.virus.2.0 you think I should stay with the ally?? I’m loving it right now tbh
@@reaxxionI say since you already have the ally and you’re enjoying it stick with it. Plus if you need a bigger screen maybe look into a portable monitor.
I am not really a gamer but something about the asus rog ally intrigued me. I bought the z1 version open box for $339. I figured out how to configure it. Now I am seeing the Z1 extreme version can be bought for $485. Is it worth it (at my level to pay an extra $146 for the extreme model. When I buy something, I am usually a long term keeper.
I have chosen Rog Ally for these reasons 1)VRR even if you don't see it is there, protect the eyes2)Less fan noise because it has two no a big one 3)Best sound by far 4)It has filter at the grills less dust inside!5)Definitely more portable and lighter,more game machine and less tablet 6)It has smallest display for sure and not oled but it is very good.The oled displays have not solved the ghosting problem totally.For example at the tv they have improve it a lot but they have not given absolute solution.I am just asking at the small screens have?Sure the sd card is a con but not for all and at the new versions the most buyers don't have problem.And many who have the old version they don't too. But for sure this is a problem, i don't accept that the solution is bigger ssd, if you have problem return it or give it to the service.
So measure the positives and negatives.Sure Legion Go have positives ,i just refer the reasons that i have select Ally.It depends on your needs.
I love my Legion its perfect
Funny how I have an Asia rog strix g15 but still went and god the Lenovo. That screen and the switch controllers did it for me. And also the specs on paper.
I upgraded from my steam deck with the GO and haven’t looked back. It’s better in every single way, and I absolutely loved my deck!…..the Ally looks and sounds like an awesome handheld too, if it wasn’t for the QC problems that seem to be very hit or miss, if you get a good one then you get an awesome device!….oh and I wish the ally had 4 back buttons too, that’s very important to me actually lol….great vid man!…….ps when you try out the remote play I. Them you should test out geforcenow ultimate too. I'm telling you man it's probably gonna shock you how amazing it is lol.
Lenovo Go also have 2 x USB-C 4.0 ports, so you aren't forced to get a dock. Also, game and DRM compatibility is way better on Lenovo than Steam Deck.
Lenovo Go should run anything you can run on a Windows desktop PC.
Yea freak 800p looks like trash, plus Emudeck is now available for Windows.
@@zZiL341yRj736 So you never seen RDR 2 with Integer scaling on Legion Go?
It looks awful@@V3ntilator
Made me laugh so hard when you talk about the extreme you went through to make this vid and not possibly mess up ur main camo account 😂😂
😂😂😂
Yo, CJ, can you please compare that Legion Go with Steam Deck OLED? Which one has better performance, longer battery and support more games such as Diablo 4? 😂
I think it was the armory crate overlay that was getting people banned.
Did you find a way to fix dead zone issue?
I'm planning a video for these myself but also, without the usual.. trying to sound like a phd in computers type video. I love the Legion Go. I'm going to get the gpd1 ... at the screen rez on the Legion Go... the gaming is great.
Sounds like you prefer the Ally more. I decided to go with the Legion Go for the screen size preference (Christmas gift to myself. I kept seeing how the Ally was when it first came out so hopefully updates will make the Legion Go better. I'm new to the handheld and portable PC gaming world.
The Legion is a BEAST, you'll not regret it buddy
I had Go for over a month and it were the most perfect handheld for me.
Lenovo already added a bunch of new features and fixes, and have a long roadmap for the Go too.
@CarlosDavid16 this is encouraging to hear. I appreciate it.
@V3ntilator I keep hearing things like this. Excited to try it out.
@@BeasyMcNasty82In next update they will "fix" the 2 final things for me. Adding Xbox button hotkey, and option to swap Lenovo buttons with Start/Select.
They will add ALT+F4 Hotkey too. Needed for any PC sometimes. :)
solid video
Thanks
How has the fan noise been on the legion go? Is it alot louder than the ally?
yes
Deadzones fix from Lenovo later thos month . But you can get the program rewasd and fix it .
Wait for the new bios update next week. Dead zone setting will be available.
Looking forward to it
@@CJKnowsTECH btw I’m subscribing to your channel. Thanks for this video.
I owned both but ended up returning the Rog ally. Reasons were the sd card problem, small size, no mouse pad, and the legion go has a better resolution. Not saying the ally is a bad device, i just had more fun with the legion go
When I got my ally, I'll have the same two but the Steamdeck OLED is okay but not a priority
For me as a pure portable console it's the Ally. If you want options like table top mode, FPS controller then the go is your device. I personally prefer the ally and why I got it only issue I have is prefer it to be back.
That shit break quick
I’ve had both twice now.
I 100% am sure I prefer the Ally. No VRR makes the legion go hard to play.
I love my GO! Haven’t noticed any issue with any games so far. Just all comes down to preference in the end.
@@Blazian18 if it means anything, my left thumb stick and A button crapped the bed within a week of ownership. 😂
Returned it and got a legion go.
Noob question
Which is equivalent to z1 extreme in pc cpu and the GPU of this stuff is equivalent to desktop GPU
Do they sell them in the UK🇬🇧 ???
So the MSI claw isn't even mentioned in the talks of the "big dogs"
This video is old. New one coming
I just got the ROG Ally is nice but I wish there were grip handles I can buy too slide on, my hands are to big
I seen some on etsy man and they actually look pretty damn good too. I think they are 20 bucks.
There is
I'm actually going down the rabbit hole for Ally grip cases, not easy 😅
i have rog ally 2tb upgraded and i love it except my sd card fried. i put a case on it with a kick stand so i can play with my controller too
The good thing about the legion is the sticks are removable. Would be cool to see Lenovo release new ones
Ally has Gyro now.
Adding soft touch to the grip would result in wear.
You can buy a case/glove.
Funny enough both have gyro, the legion go still hasn't activated it.
@@exe_ally been out 6 months and just added it less than a week ago. Legion just came out.
Wich i buy
I have both. Best of both worlds.
Right. Which one is your favorite or go to?
It’s the legion go. I’m able to do more. The two usbc is a game changer for me the way I use my device. Ps remote play works great with controller. I have the Ps portal as well. I travel better with the legion Go.
if i had to choose between the 2 hands down the legion go.........but over both of these......aside from an actual gaming pc.....i like the khadas mind........i think pcs will become modular. The egpus for both of these are cool....except for the fact the ppl at asus must be high.....1400 for an egpu and its still a laptop gpu chipset and not a full blown gpu....is just dumb on their part but anyway add a gpu to these and they rock.
Legion has a $300 price difference here. I'm not sure if it's worth paying this much more for an extra screen without VRR and a joycon. =/ I would prefer legion, if the prices were more similar here, though.
Not just that but it's more of handheld
They were similarly priced but the Ally cut its price by a lot. At initial launch it was $649 and $699. IMO they’re cutting prices because the Legion Go is their main competitor now.
It's only a 100 dollar difference between these two in the video
The ally your talking about is the z1 version. And steam deck blow that one out the water. The z1 extreme start at $600 while the legion start at $700
Don't forget that you have to compare the price of Steam Deck 512.GB vs Lenovo 512.GB and Asus 512.GB.
Comparing 64.GB Steam Deck price vs the 512.GB ones is unfair. Also remember that SD Cards cost more than SSD.
what lmao
Nice video. But I decided to go with the legion. Thank you your video helped.
Thanks. Legion is a good choice. I'm liking it more and more as time goes on
Looking at your watch, I've always found it strange when people who love iPhones and dislike Android also love gaming PCs. Everything they dislike about Android is exactly what a gaming PC is.
However, I am a console user but I am interested in a portable gaming device since you can't save games locally with Game Pass. So I appreciate the video because I'm not familiar with gaming PCs or portable gaming PCs and this gave me a first look.
don’t judge by a watch and a gaming pc is different then using a phone you wrote all that all from a watch lol i love gaming pc xbox sony apple and android stop picking sides ma boy!
Deadzone adjustment on the LeGo is on the 15th
Nice can’t wait
@@CJKnowsTECH it was the same with the Ally. Had to wait for the deadzone adjustment update too. Legion Go got it sooner if it does drop on the 15th. Took the Ally a longer time to get it
my perspective on this is pretty self-explanatory it has variable refresh rate and it has vrr and has FSR 2 that are the main perfect features for a great device if a device doesn't have these type of things the games can be screen tearing and lots of problems I tried to play star citizen which is a triple A game on the Ally it's not great but the FPS helps with the vrr and it also has very refresh rate which kind of helps with the performance
I have the steam deck oled wich i love, but i really want a windows handheld. My main games are Destiny 2, Diablo 4,warzone and i might wanna jump back to World of warcraft too! Its a dream playing wow on the couch. Im torn between the Go and Ally and 1 click away to order one of the two (Windows are open to order) futurewise i think the Go is the better option, faster ram, trackpad. Great screen. But i also like the more compact Ally and my whole desktop pc is Asus 😅.
Could you or anyone give me the last push?
Follow your gut
Bro go in the settings and rom thing on a certain setting on pluged and unplugged but put them on the same thing so it doesn't switch so you don't get banned your welcome
They were going to fix the deadzone issue in a update.
Also use the FSR 2 built into the game if you're playing at the native res 1200p, put it to either balanced or performance and it will be fullsize but the game has little bit more softer
also you should also mention the communites pros and cons about it.
Outro song??
Nbhd Nick - Sporty & Rich
Another con for the go. The right analog stick and ABXY is way too close. When I use the x and a buttons, my thumb always hit the analog. I FKN hate it. Hopefully they release alt joycon with more spaced out buttons. Thanks to the mouse pad they couldn't the whole right controller is fu ked
im supposed to buy a tablet, the samsung tab s9 but when I saw this Lenovo gaming device, I made my decision that I'm just going to buy this over a tablet.
I was choosing between the Ally and Go about 2 weeks ago and chose the Ally. Smaller and more portable with better speakers and quieter fans. 1080p and VRR are perfect together. The fact that Best Buy had them in sale new for $600 was also a plus.
I'm playing RDR2 today at 900p at medium settings on performance and getting 50 to 55 fps consistently.
I went with the ally too and will be getting mine on Christmas. It was very challenging to pick between the two, but the ally had vrr, native landscape screen, better speakers, quieter fans, and better ergonomics. The legion go has a bigger screen, bigger battery, and can get a few extra frames but was just too bulky, in my opinion.
@@alexgibson7960 I'm not sure the battery on the Go is much better than the Ally. The larger screen and higher resolution that is on the Go has to take a toll on the battery. I'd say that they are close to about even.
also me.. picking rog ally or legion go.. But picking ally hehe.. when comparing to those 2 its much bigger than rog ally
Ally has better speaker. on the other hand, I'm interested the FPS mode, detachable controllers of GO.😂
@glennhkboy I was too, but the portrait screen and bulky size were the main reasons I didn't go for it. I play quite a bit of older games, but a lot of older games aren't playable on the legion go due to the native portrait screen. And since they are so old, they likely won't be updated to support it. So unless you dont plan on playing a lot of older games and don't mind the size, I think you'll enjoy it.
I love the way this guy talks 😆
both of them has the biggest problem for me is, battery life, they sucks if I playing 3d games with 144hz or 120hz with rog ally, the battery can last about 1 hour or so.that is not enough for portable use when I am not at home, so if they can have a bigger battery like AOKZOE 65W battery, that will be awesome, even it is heavier, I just need that extra juice to play slight longer time when there is no charger available.
We get it CJ, You prefer Rubber on your joystick😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
@@CJKnowsTECH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luckily lenovo has an update coming that will bring all the updates through legion space
Yup
The rog is an incredible machine but the screen is too small
should i get legion or the rog ? i’m on the fence between the few i have the deck what i love but i want to enjoy more AAA titles bday is coming up and want to treat myself new to pc gaming and i usually play docked if any help thanks
Funny I’m in the same boat bday coming up and I can’t choose between the two. I’m more leaning towards the Go cause of the screen and will probably just play newer titles on it everything else I can play on my Steam deck. Perfect combination I think 👌
@@pchalis1 i agree lol i think ima choose the same also !
@@sharpiesharpie8356I got the ally like 2 days ago and it’s awesome and for a great price! But I’m
Thinking about switching for the legion go for the bigger screen😅
@@sharpiesharpie8356btw I’m dropping a video 11am playing on the ally , ya can check it out! I played apex, Hogwarts and the crew motorfest… video will be in Spanish but ya can just watch the gameplay and maybe that can help lol

They're the same. Same z1
Extreme chip. Only difference is the OS.
Lmao i killed myself many times with that accidental rb click.
Right 😂
Aim assist?? Or does it register keyboard and mouse
damn bro you entertaining
Thanks
At least for 700 bucks the Legion Go actually gave you a case. Asus Rog Ally? Nah, gotta buy that for 40 bucks lol.
