In today’s video, I’m diving into why the Lenovo Legion Go is the ultimate handheld gaming device of 2024, almost perfect but with a few quirks. We’ll compare it to the ASUS ROG Ally X and Steam Deck OLED, highlighting its massive 8.8-inch display, 144Hz refresh rate, dual USB-C 4.0 ports, and the powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor.

I was a Deck fanboy so i got the oled. Out of curiosity decided to try the Legion Go and was blown away.
im in the same boat i really been wanting a legion go for so long i have a oled but man i can already feel the legion will replace it for me and with gamepass come on
@@finalzgamesgive it a try. I was extremely shocked how much I love the screen when I was so sure, as an OLED lover, that I was going to hate it 😂
For real the Legion Go is much better sold my Deck oled for it, the Upgrade is Huge..
@shaolin95 😂
But hows the battery? That's my only concern, in the Steam Deck I crank the screen brightness to the max because that's the way i like to play. How much time can you play a demanding title on the Legion Go?
New sub from Brazil, nice video, tks a lot!!
Thanks ☺️
Subscribed!!! Keep it coming brotha!
Thanks for the sub!
Great video. Thank you.
Really good video mate well informative, made me into it 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Wooow this guy gives great details... subscribed already. Give us more videos
@@djmoyogibson2713 thanks m8))
I totally agree and great video! The Lenovo Legion GO is amazing. I have a LCD Steam Deck (the original) and decided to try the Legion GO because I saw one on sale at Best Buy, and it was open box so I got a great deal... Ever since then I love using the Legion GO and I haven't touched the Steam Deck since then. The detachable controllers are indeed a GAME CHANGER because they turn this relatively heavy device into the LIGHTEST device... Because you can put it on the table with its great kick stand, and then use the detached controllers comfortably on your lap. The high resolution 1600P and high refresh rate 144 Hz screen gives you options (you can always lower the resolution or refresh rate and it still looks good, or upscale a game to 1600P), but many simpler games will be playable at 1600P and / or 144 Hz and then it's amazing. Performance is really great and fast with the Z1 Extreme chip. Lastly, the Legion GO is highly useable as a small portable laptop thanks to its glorious big screen (compared to other handhelds), high resolution, fast processor, and detachable right controller that turns into a mouse. It's also fantastic as a tablet for watching movies. So all in all, I agree that it's superbly well designed by Lenovo. Cheers!
Video is amazing bro
But I have some questions...
I had heard that there are bugs in the software and its Windows, have they been fixed yet?
And can it run old games like fallout New Vegas or Metal Gear Solid V?
The quality and dedication alone deserves a sub. Great work!
@@SkrubbLordd thanks ☺️
Great job, I agree ;)
The ROG Ally is good as well, but the Legion Go is more flexible! Nice Greek music at the beginning by the way haha. Opa!!!!!
I have the original steam deck which is amazing but after seeing the legion go I really wanna sell it and pick this bad boy up 🔥
Thank you, might go with this! Hard to choose and also might want to wait for ally X but i have a work trip the day it comes out😂
Good choice!
The ally x won’t be worth it over the GO.
My friend is a tech reviewer and already has an X in hand and it’s very disappointing…
@@TopODaMerninSo the vrr is not worth buying ? Lenovo Legion Go is on sale now
@@DADDYGAMERNL my opinion is VRR is negligible… side by side.
The GO is a great device for the price if you are in the market for a handheld. It has its ups and downs like any other device but I think it has the most pros with the least cons
Does battery lasts long for 3 hours as deck in re 4 remake full settings?
only 69 subs ? dude your video is top quality. i have 1.1k and i cant make vids this good lol you going places sir
@@finalzgames thanks ☺️
Yo, thanks for the vid, I’m about to get the legion go, I’ve been doing yardwork a lot and I’m almost there, I just need to ask something, If I want to use an Xbox controller, would the Bluetooth work and work well? (Also I just subbed, love your content)
@@CorbanDioxide96 Thanks for the Subb! And yes, XBox controllers does work well with the Legion GO.
@@GadgetGuardians669 thanks, I was just making sure I didn’t need another adapter to use Bluetooth because that was a struggle with the Nintendo switch, and I’ve been a switch person for 5 years until I realized now the switch is nothing compared to this, so I’m planning on having the Legion Go
Yes works with any Bluetooth controller
I am happy that we got choices. I was in the lucky position to try out the ROG ally, steam deck OLED and the Legion Go. And the ROG ally was my choice at the end. Just fits my needs the best. But everyone is different.
@@Guckkasten85 right 🙂
I'm still saving up for mybown LeGo, it's already appearing in my dreams lol
Ive got the steam deck, and been looking for an upgrade But not sure witch one to get asus rog ally or the lenovo legion go
I have the legion go, however, Rog ally has vrr, games run better and better battery.
I got the SteamDeck when it first came out and absolutely loved it. Then I heard about the Go, and got that when it first came out. I love both, but the Go is so much easier to work with. Steam Deck is awesome with Steam but getting Epic to work on it took some time. I tried going back to SteamDeck and just couldn't remember how to upgrade Proton and what not to get it to work. The Go is just easier because it's just a windows machine. I just wish the Go felt like the SteamDeck, that is still an awesome handheld to hold. So comfortable compared to the Go. And yes I got the 3d printed add ons. Steam deck is still more comfortable.
No is NOT. Ergonomic are not a black or white deal..it varies person to person. So it may be more comfortable for you but not me
My point exactly! Ergonomics really varies from person to person. For me, I prefer the grip and overall ergonomic of the GO compared to the Oled.
@@GadgetGuardians669 yeah definitely steam deck for me is like holding butter, just nice and comfortable. The legion go has the corners that dig right into my palms, but the 3D printed snap-ons really remedied that. I just think that those controllers are just too angled for me and others. But overall I just much prefer the Go because it's Windows based (and that screen!) I am not a Linux person at all...lol
I have OneXPlayer X1 10.9", Legion Go (love it but too big for my bag), Steamdeck LCD (sold), ROG Ally (easy fit into my bag).
good intro!
@@brycelight1 glad you liked it 🙂
Intro was one of the best I've seen anywhere! Feel SOOO bad fro the bro🤣🤣! Subscribed.
😂😂
wow what a youtube find this guy is goated
Thanks m8
There are some cons to the Legion Go. They don't keep up with the AMD drivers so they are never current. Its significantly heavier than competitors and the controllers dig into your palm making playing uncomfortable. Its a large device and I have large hands but still have trouble reaching the buttons. The large screen is nice, but it doesn't have VRR so it doesn't look as smooth and Rog Ally or Steam deck when running games at lower framerates (under 60 fps). On the other hand, when plugged in it can go to higher wattage for more frame rates, and using it in tablet mode is awesome too. You can make it much smaller by taking off controllers, carry the tablet, and pair with external controller to solve comfort issues. Without the controllers, it is the size of a thick 9 inch tablet.
I have owned nearly every portable PC ever made. I keep telling myself enough is enough. I got rid of my Ally and decided to stick with the SD OLED.
But now I find myself really wanting a legion go.
It’s trash ROG ally way better I hate I bought it
already had a rog ally. It was fine, but the detachable controllers and bigger screen make this seem like it fits a particular use case. The ally IMO is inferior to the SD oled in 99 percent of the specific pc gaming niche.
lets not forget now with frame generation the games are gonna be running even better now on the legion
@@finalzgames 100%
Did pre-order the ROG Ally X, need that battery and VRR screen.
I hope you handle disappointment well. My friend is a tech reviewer and has the X in hand. It’s hot garbage compared to the GO. Get a nice battery bank and VRR is useless… it’s a gimmick
@@TopODaMernin Did you ever played two devices next to each other one with VRR and without? Believe me, if you know what VRR does, you will think a bit different, because it is not a gimmick at all. The driver support is hot garbage in the LeGo, the fans are loud, and the screen is just a little tablet, the ergonomics are just plain bad, who the f is using this Nintendo switch rip off?
@@Rem0n89 I have…. And like I said. I have seen the Ally X in person next to the GO and the deck OLED. It is horrible. The screen looks really bad compared to the other two and VRR does nothing…
Im assuming you haven’t seen or used the GO in the last few months…. Essentially every issue has been fixed…. So you are spitting old material that you saw from a CZcams video or reddit instead of actual first hand knowledge.
Enjoy your overpriced X and live with your decision lol.
@@TopODaMernin"Every issue has been fixed"? There's still no AFMF, STT wattage is still broken, the new software thats been pushed out is a pile of bug-ridden shit, the speakers suck donkey ass, and the thing is loud as fuck. I have to put a piece of tape over my fan vents to prevent some high pitch whine. I am so tired of this thing and Lenovo's shit software and community support.
if steam deck can run fc24 so smooth i will buy steam deck,but legion go and asus rog ally better to carry fc24 more
Can you try the steamos on the legion go
@@Aim.09 I can try. I’ll write it down for future video
Videos don’t do the display justice. I have a Legion tablet which uses the same panel and it’s insane. I had a Steam Deck OLED and an Ally briefly and those don’t compare at all even with the Steam Deck’s HDR.
Bro should I buy Asus ROG ally x or legion go . Pls help me to decide 😭
Trust me Lenovo legion go is the best
@@meme_035 yeah, the Legion GO is better. Not really a ground breaking chang with the Ally X compared to the regular Ally. The display is still the same, only the battery capacity, Ram size increase, color and fixes to previous design.
Waiting to make a review soon😉
@@Aim.09 thanks I'll go for it
Depends. Is portability more important? Get an Ally X... if you play fps on your handheld and have a table in front of you all the time, get a legion go
LE-GO
VRR is a must for handheld gaming
Nope.
It’s really not…. At all….
Man said you can always take it back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ksh5864 😂😂
Ayo bro can you tell me if the fan is really loud
I have one and no it isn't that loud. Compared to a gaming laptop its really quiet, although it's louder than steam deck. But then steam deck couldn't play the same demanding games. In short- don't let others comments put you off. Its not loud
@@darronayles7286Yeah, bro! Ever since it was released, I wanted to buy one. I've left a comment on almost every CZcams channel, and most of them said it's loud. There are some who told me it's quite quiet and stuff as well. I just don't want to buy it and find out it's super loud.
From my experience, it isn’t. The Rog Ally was louder.
I just got a Legion GO three days ago and honestly the fan is loud for sure, in Performance mode at least. It is not if you select the Quiet profile and TDP under 20W. At the same TDP of a Steam Deck, approx 15W, the fan is ok, you won't notice it with headphones on.
It becomes a plane at 25-30W tho. Actually I'm ok with the 15-20W profile anyway, just lower resolution and upscale. At 25+W it is also quite hot on the back/metal chassis.
Just don’t have full fan speed on 😂
The onexplayer 1x is the best
@@h2low404 was waiting for this comment😅
But I feel I’ll still prefer the Legion Go
My all friends sold Asus and steam deck when I bought legion go 😅😅
I have a steam deck and its power is failing me so hard at the start it was great but it just cant keep up with the games i play now. Plus my friend got a legion and omg it is sooo much better plus its just way cooler
Legion go is quite heavy and can be uncomfortable after long gaming sessions.
yeah...thats why the controller is detachable like switch...😅
Piiiiiiing. Fu€#@ iPhone Sound. RIP Headphones Users.
Great Video!
That’s cool 😂😂😂
Gyro is sh..t on the Legion Go.
I'm very disappointed for purchasing the legion Go.
Nice video, you seem like a awesome guy! Subbed.
Thank you! And I’m sure you’re awesome as well🙂 Awesome people appreciates others and that’s who you are 😎✌️
