Lenovo Legion Go - A PC Gamer's Perspective
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 05. 2024
- The Lenovo Legion go is the latest handheld gaming PC to hit the streets, the new hotness, and on paper it has a lot going for it. It has a beautiful giant high refresh screen, a super powerful apu to make those games look good, and run good, a big battery, not to mention some very… unique… control options.

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 🎉
@@ayomideabioye7402in
have fun playing for an hour lol
@@specialwire123 if youre playing more than an hr on the go you need to re-evaluate why youre on the go. Bring a power brick or touch grass.
You got great content in a very crowded CZcams community. Funny videos great production keep up the good work I do appreciate something fresh and not stale like you make in your videos
Im primary a console gamer, and my experience with the legion go has been pretty enjoyable tbh. Its my first time playing on pc.
Ive been playing:
Wolfenstein 2
Forza horizon 4
Halo infinite.
All my my games have been running great. No crashes or heavy studdering. Once i complete spiderman 2, this will definitely be my go to device. Great device!
Ha ha I see what you did there. Lenovo Legion GO will be your GO to device.
@@plaistowjames6792 booya!
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.
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.
On the performance side of things, this will get way better. Rog ally had the same problems on release.
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
resident evil 2 and battlefield 1 plays beautiful as well
I find it perfect for my needs. I can use it as a windows tablet for watching movies or CZcams. 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.
Thank you so much for this review. I was on the fence about getting this system.
For the past 2 days I've listened to about 15 to 20 reviews on this device and by far I stumbled across your channel and this is the review that I was looking for not pushy not trying to sell me something just telling it how it is I really appreciate it and I have subscribed🎉
Thanks for taking the time to say so!
Love the humour infused with the personal anecdotes and the information that you're conveying! I hope Asus and Lenvovo succeed, only to push Valve to make a better Steam Deck 2. I have a feeling we'll be seeing you doing a video of the Steam Deck OLED in the near future?
I hope so!
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.
czcams.com/video/SKo9sciNvDE/video.html
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
😂 same. I returned my second ally last week . It wouldn’t shut down or launch games. I was skeptical of the go , until it got delivered today. My son and I were blown away, and grateful that the ally didn’t work out. I don’t understand all the hate.this is just the beginning, a few months down the road this thing is gonna be a beast!
Yeah waiting a year for software updates, have lots of other gaming devices so no rush.
BUT IT HAS LESS FPS?
BY 20 fps tomb raider can't break 60 cyberpunk can't break 30? the screen eating to much sorry
True. It's only going to get better with updates. The Deck had its share of problems at first too.
I just got mines today and I am playing around with it and I love it one of the best handheld devices I ever had I have the playstation portal remote player I haven't touched it yet this one gonna be my go to game
Had steam deck and just wasn’t using it. Bought the legion go a month ago and haven’t put it down. Loving it.
I bought the LeGo just for the 8.8 screen. If updates can get it same performance as Ally I’ll be perfectly happy.
czcams.com/video/SKo9sciNvDE/video.html
i guess it depends on where you gonna use it no? im gonna use it 99% of the time near a power source so i have no problem playing it on the 30w TDP option and dont care about the battery life . as a handheld it might not be perfect but as midrange gaming laptop its a great value for the money
I would like to use it, with external input and output devices, for video editing. Then I could say if I like it or not.
This video review feels honest and that's all I ask for.
Thanks for sharing.
Got rid of my Ally for this. The SD card leader in the Ally is a ticking time bomb and add in Allys lack of communication the Go is 1000 times better.
Yeah that SD reader in the ally is a thing huh.
@@TechDweeb I mean Yeah. It's a huge shortcoming especially when they market the device with a working SD reader.
@TechDweeb They need to give everyone free ssd upgrade. Their communication regarding the whole situation was terrible. They pretended for weeks that it wasn't an issue
I just sent my ally for repair over that does it always happen even after being repaired
Did you get the lenovo go and were you satisfied with the switch? My rog ally just fried my sd card
Great review! I own the AOKZOE A1 and was on the fence on whether to switch to the Go, but most reviews were non-committal or lukewarm which is in itself a red flag. Thank you for clearly saying the Go is not for you. I don't think it's for me either.
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.
If emulation is your goal, the Odin 2 is 100% the way to go!
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.
Maybe. I think efficiency is needed more than battery size though. If we could get ARM efficiency on X86 chips we'd have all the battery we need with the tech we already have. We're moving in that direction, it's just taking a long time.
@TechDweeb the new Qualcomm chips are looking promising.
SAME 8040 U HERE WE COME!
@@X862go NO, the "2025er 9x5xU" will do the job, 2024 only wil increase 25% GPU Power on max.
@@bigtrousers4287 that's an unbelievable important point to be so serious and hateful about!
For these devices, 1080 or 900p is ideal, if someone wants better resolution in older games, he/she can use AMD Virtual Super Resolution which adjusts it to 2K or 4K via SSAA
But even if Windows is bad, u can use amd fluid motion will and for sure Windows will get FSR 3 first

My man tech dweeb is yoked up. You‘ve been working out bro 💪
Yup. Been working on the physique for my 2nd channel SwolDweeb, where I review protein powders and lifting straps (same style as my tech reviews). Stay tuned!.
Yo, let me know. I’m looking forward to watching that channel I also Lift too 💪
@@TechDweebcan't wait to see the JujiMufu and Renaissance Periodization collabs coming from that channel. 🤙
So… are you using a voice modifier or is this your real voice? 🤣🤣
I have an ally and like it a lot. It was a gift. I may eventually just get this just for the screen and use controller tablet style with xbox controller. Playing like that is super appealing to me.
Wow quality content very unbiased and feels real subscribed :)
Thanks buddy! ✊
I think the lenovo legion go is an awesome device. I would like it to be available in south africa but i prefer this over the ally
Hi buddy! Please can you tell me if you can connect your emulation hard drive to the Legion go and if it works?! Best regards
TechDweeb, is the Go larger in physical size than Steam Deck?
Only by a tiny amount.
I love the ROG and the Go but I often pick up the Go more often due to the bigger screen and refresh rate. ROG I usually bring with me when traveling unless I want the bigger screen for productivity work.
Thank you TechDweeb!
Hey Dweeb, can you give us like a list of low, requirement games? maybe an episode on it. I saw the other episode about it, but it didn't have stuff like Bot Vice...
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?
Yup. I'm with ya there.
Lenovo update just fixed a bunch of that stuff but I was fine with my Ayaneo Geek until I wanted the much bigger screen. Enjoying the Go now
I just got mine today after going through 2 rog ally’s. Right away I’m blown away with this thing! It’s much faster and more stable to my eyes so far. I was second guessing the purchase due to bad reviews, but I’m glad I went through with it.
Im loving mine so far it's been great 😊
Battery is a lot better than the rog ally lol
I have the Go and agree about FPS mode. It’s just a gimmick but I do love the screen
What do yo mean its a gimmick? Its basically a mouse. All pcs need a mouse. It's not a gimmick if you use it on other stuff that you do on your pc. SMH
@@KoolitPnoi what he meant was (I believe) is to him its a gimmick, yeah its a lil weird at first but you adapt (or not) guess its not for everyone
@jbach43 i dont know it gets me all the time when somebody says it's gimmicky because it works. I play emulator games on my LeGo and it's just easier transferring files using fps mode.
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?
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?
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.
Use lossless scaling which improves FPS by A LOT without losing any visuals..
And for AUDIO use the FX audio .. you can download.. the audio improves to a whole new level
I'm getting this mostly for my GeForce now account. Great internet at work and home
OYE! My rooms already clean, but dishes need work tbh 😂
Thank you for mentioning the touch pad. I was hoping it'd be useful like the Steam Controller. That's what I really care about for FPS games, but since this sucks, Deck it is. Thanks for mentioning that. Only reviewer I've seen to talk about gaming on it, even if it's just one sentence.
Yeah not nearly as good for gaming as the ones on the deck. Not even close actually.
@@TechDweeb much appreciated. I just can't do FPS with a control stick anymore. Not precise. I think Deck is just the best all rounder.
Holy crap TD, I just noticed you hit 40K... you're Warhammer ready, congratulations.
OMG I didn't notice! Badass!
I'm excited for mine! I found a deal for a 1tb open box in excellent condition under $700
Lucky!
@@TechDweeb Would the battery life be okay on the go if I have a powerbank with me
I got mine for $650 on offer up
I'm impressed, but I still have a question that unfortunately the video didn't answer. I want to know if you can also play Spyro with this device? Not just the original PS1 version but also all subsequent titles. It's very, very important to me to be able to play Spyro, so I definitely have to be sure before I buy the device!
It’s a computer so you can install/ run roms with a ps1 emulator and play it
Dude, can u play mlbb or other game with blue stack or android emulator using touchscreen controller? Is it comfortable ?
can it be used like a console hooked to TV via HDMI while you sit on the couch and play with the detachable controllers ? I am surprised that this is not shown in all the reviews i watched..as this would be a nice feature for the average consumer. I also think you underestimate the versatility of this device as you focused on the handheld gaming aspect only. 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.
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 just ordered the legion go I currently have the steam deck i hope I haven’t made a mistake in buying the legion go i just wanted to see if i would like it more than the deck my only concern is that its windows powered
They should make joycons with no back buttons as a separate payment or removable back buttons and move the placement for the buttons or a premium joycon of some sort 😊❤
Whether you bought this or received one for review im proud of you my boi. This channel is such an underrated gem and its great to see you reviewing devices like this. Also youre a dweeb.
Thanks buddy. This one is a loaner.
I picked up a 1tb Go for $630, so cheaper than an oled steam deck. Best Buy open box ftw.
Lucky!
Nice! I got a 512gb open box from Best Buy for only $550. Luckily I already have a 1TB card from my destroyed steam deck 😢
Any problems from the open box purchase?
@@yohon6360 it’s comes today I’ll let you know later.
You know if best buy offers shipping on the open box options? I'm deciding on which other handheld I should purchase for my sibling around that lower cost. My 1tb go was about $830 shipped (would've had to wait a full month if opted for the 512g version, they said@@ADDMEONPSN
Ive had mine for about 4 days now and am loving it. Regardless of fps my main thing i needed was a nice big screen. I have an s23 ultra with a 7" screen and IMO its too small to actuqlly enjoy gaming which is why i couldnt go with a steamdeck or ally.
The screen is indeed glorious. If big screen is priority then this is 100% the best device.
well I guess that depends on how you like gaming on a 7" screen, for me it's too small to enjoy.@@mxsthxted
Aspect ratio matters a lot bc screens are measured diagonally. 7” on the S23 ultra is not the same as 7” on the deck. The OLED deck also has 7.4” now btw
well my coworker brought his deck in and to me the screen was pretty small, he fell in love with my Legion GO@@extra4542
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.
They actually sell a 2tb model as well. Not just 512gb and 1tb.
Joycon as light gun, now that's the way to go
Does this support the Elite 2 controller for all games?
Just like a windows laptop would?
Thanks
Yup!
@@TechDweeb thanks
Did you got whiny Fans ? Also in Idle ?
I have both. But I just purchased them. So I'll see how they do. PS: I like the Windows based handhelds as I can play most of my games that I have on my Alian ware Laptop
In your opinion, what is the best overall handheld pc on the market today?
Steam Deck.
Damn, I was looking forward to this one...
Same
@@TechDweeb Honestly, unless it's more powerful than the Deck and looks better too, I'm not getting another PC handheld. None of the competition has a "point" to them. Hell, Valve is probably going to rush an upgrade out any time now and they already have at least an OLED version.
@@comradestannisThey won't. They are operating like Nintendo.
Why are you allowing a stranger’s opinions affect you? The Go is freaking amazing no matter what he thinks
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
Can you conect a controler to It? Like a dualshock or a Xbox??
one question before i proceed to order mine, if i download and install a game from google drives , it can install and play normally like in pc right ?
I don't have a legion go but I do what you asked with my laptop and personal cloud. Since the GO is a PC it would work, download the game from the cloud and run it locally.
@@kristoffmiller oh nice thats great to know , thanks for answering
Yup. It's a PC, it can do anything a PC can do.
To me this is way better than a steam deck. I can't wait to get one!
Enjoy!
It is not in my experience. With Steamdeck you have a smoother and more pleasant experience in almost all aspects, that you can’t have with Legion. I have both and I can’t see many reasons to prefer a Legion go, but it’s still a wonderful and powerful device, so yeah, enjoy!
You Should go thru the AVGN (angry video game nerd) route. and just give your feedback on old school games, I'm not saying I don't like the Tech stuff I love it, but I think you have the humor, creativity and personality to surpass his channel going that route. You could totally pull it off
Thanks for your thoughts on that. I'll give it some thought
The deck need a Apu update too.
Why are the using console rules on PC is beyond me.
It would make some sense if deves actually cared enough to make stuff run but they don't.
Also congrats on 40k subs your channel grew so quick.
Thanks buddy!
how does 800p looks running on legion go screen? does the integer scaling works?
Nah it's not good. We don't get proper integer scaling, the pixels have soft edges like bilinear filtering. Apparently that might be fixed in a future update but it's not yet :/
Does anyone know if you can play racing games and steer the car by tilting/ turning the device rather than using thumb controls?
Cheers
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
I definitely fear the drift
😂😂😂😂😂 im a call it the spooky drift ghost 👻👻👻👻
I liked the video, but dont agree with all your conclusions, granted most are personal preference, I never understood the complaint that the Legion Go controllers were uncomfortable to hold, either attached or not, I find them just right, I have smaller hands BTW and a lot of times I prefer to play with the controllers detached and the Go on the table (reminds me of playing on the Wii :>). even hooked it to my computer monitor with is an older 1080p Samsung, and used the Go as my main PC for the day, did a lot better than I expected. overall I am very happy with mine, makes a nice addition to my other more mobile gaming PC, a Asus ROG Flow z13 2022 (i9, 4gb 3050ti, 16gb ram and 1tb storage)
We have buy games or inbuilt?
You need to go adjust your vram on the legion go to 6gigs. You will get better performance out of most games.
thats a good suggestion, I still have mine at 4gb to be honest and its fine so far for what I play
I want to try to replace the speakers with boxes from the iPhone 15 Pro Max instead of the standard ones
I cannot for the life of me order a Steam deck so I'm always on the lookout for alternatives. However, as youve done this great reviews, it just makes me more patient until I somehow find a way to do that. Thanks, Dweeb.
It's baffling that Steam hasn't figured out global distribution yet!
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.
Ayaneo Kun and the new MSI Claw dropping soon
Which one do you guys recommend, this one, rog ally or the steam deck Oled?
I'd personally choose the Deck, followed by the Ally, then followed by the Go.
Depends on your needs, if your looking for power then go with the ally or go, if you looking for more indie games and a lower tdp APU then the deck OLED is nice but it's not the cats ass. Also between the ally and the go if your looking for versatility and possibly replacing your desktop pc get the go you can connect any EGPU. Also the SD reader is fucked on the ally I went through 4. Put it this way I returned the ally 4 times for different issues.
You're the only person I've seen comment on the smell, I've opened 3 of them now and it really does have a specific smell 😂
Smelling my tech is the best part of this job
@@TechDweeb😂
lol thought the smell on mine was from it being an open box lol might be the case itself maybe lol
It will get better for the GO they will have a lot of updates to fix a lot of the problems and performance
Possibly. My biggest gripe is the hand feel which can't be updated. Although I hope they sell non-fps-mode joycons, that would be a great 'update' because then it'd be way more comfortable.
@@TechDweeb Maybe a sleeve would make it better?
Possibly!
@@TechDweeb million dollar idea
We’re you running at 1600p on hades?
Try to emulate Zelda Skyward Sword HD or the original Wii, it's not important, I've never seen anyone try to emulate it, and it's also a way to see if it is compatible with the Lenovo controls.
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
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.
Agreed
@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
@@pluhhhate 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.
I give Lenovo credit for trying this approach. I have a SteamDeck and thought about getting a windows handheld. I feel like id probably get an ally over this after your review
Yeah they had the right idea. And at least they tried something new, gotta give them credit for that.
I love my legion go so far, I have a 7" screen on my phone and for me it's just too small to have fun gaming on
@@TechDweeb what windows handheld would you recommend? I feel like the steamdeck is in a category of its own, even though there is plenty of overlap
7 inch is way too small. I need an all in one device for movies, games, reading, zoom calls with a usbc webcam. Your criticism actually makes me want the Go more. It’s perfect for my needs. The OLED SD is too weak for my needs but it looks very nice.
to me it's a 9" PC with removeable controllers on the side. @@CandysChannel
Why oh why did they have to make it smell like black licorice? Why didn't they just attach Atari 5200 controller onto the sides while they were at it? I like the size of the screen but I'm not a fan that it lacks the power to take full advantage of it. What are your thoughts on giving us a review of the updated Steam Deck? I realize you had picked up your original Deck a little late which might skew your thoughts on picking up a new one...
OLED Steam Deck review coming soon!
lol because the Atari 5200 controllers broke within a week or 2 of normal use lol
You're not weird, Mr. Dweeb; you're unique.
That's what I've been trying to tell people my whole life!

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?.
Nope. I don't have a PS5 so it'd be silly to get that.
@@TechDweeb Seriously?!. I thought I was the only one who didn't have a PS5.
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.
The integer scaling isn't great though. The pixels have blurry edges, I don't think it's working properly here.
Yeah the interger scaling apparently isn't working properly just yet. There are workarounds to force it to work though.
Should I get the legion go rog ally or a pc with rtx 3060 12gb and i5 12400f ddr4 16 gb ram
I'd 100% go for the PC if you don't need to game on the go. WAY more pleasurable gaming experience playing on a PC than a handheld.
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.
Beautiful
…my go playing mario kart 8 deluxe…without tweaking…no stutter…full rate…oversized screen…vivid n sharpie sharp sharp…love it as much as my ayn odin 2…i do not stream…i do offline…i dont like steamdeck…it is very ugly…
I agree with you there. The Deck isn't a looker!
Hi Tech Dweeb, I just want to say that I'm a fan of your work. I am also hoping to start a CZcams channel and I look unto you as my inspiration. Any tips?
Thanks buddy! My only tip is don't wait. Just get started as soon as you can, even if the videos aren't great at the start. You'll learn as you go, but not if you don't START!
Should I get the legion go rog ally or a pc with rtx 3060 12gb and i5 12400f ddr4 16 gb ram I already have ps5?
Depends on your use case and what you using it for. For me It's more about being able to relax on the ouch plugged in playing some games.
If you need the handheld experience, go for the Legion Go. If you want a higher end experience and don't mind playing at a desk, or on the couch with a controller, go for the PC. I would personally choose a much more powerful PC over a handheld.
How well does Xbox game pass work with it
Could you buy the legion joy cons separately? This is a win win
I hope eventually you will. Then we could buy joycons without those buttons on the back and that would solve most of my misgivings!
I'm looking to play Older games. Like new vegas on my breaks at work can I download games and play offline?? I really like the switch for the fact I can do that but if I can't with any of these mobile PC I'll be sad and out of money
If you download them at home then, yes you can play them offline if supported. (supported as in singleplayer and not online) you don’t need wifi to play most games but in a case like roblox or fortnite then no. in your case I think new Vegas is singleplayer so you should be able to.
Cancelled my Go order for a Deck OLED lol. It kept getting delayed in the UK anyways.
I'm really miffed I really wanted the ally so I got one and it used to get so hot and switch off so I got it exchanged and my second one did the same and fried its own sd card port
Yikes! 😬
Nice, I can save money for Odin 2 and steam deck oled
I won't clean my room. You can't tell me what to do mom
Fine. No cake then.
NO, maybe in a year with better software.
Buying the new Steam Deck Oled today, will play my new AAA games on my PC gaming rig or gaming laptop.
Have many other gaming devices so no need for a expensive Windows handheld thats bit rubbish.
Bro we can't see your face but something tells me you look exactly like you're animated avatar 😂😂
Can you plug a 60% keyboard? If yes, problem solved.
