Yo dude, I wasn't expecting such a straightforward, zero sugar-coating review. Thanks! I've been watching tech reviews for a longgg time on the Tube and I'm tired of the usual format, fake enthusiasm etc that tells u every product is great and has like 1 small flaw. Stick to what you're doin and your channel will grow. It could reach a peak that's smaller than what you'd like but it won't be you--its bc ppl are slow to move away from typical content. From a chill gamer to another 👌🎮🕹

I decided to go for the LeGo instead of the Ally X and I have no regretted. The screen is everything for someone like me who works from home and doesn't play outside.

Hats off, so far the most honest YT review. For whatever reason the way you set this video makes the review feels genuine, no fancy bg music no over the top editing with flying or flowing fonts. It feels so refreshing seeing Honest reviews like this on Youtube. I know tech vloggers has to flex how tech savvy they are that their videos has to be really fancy they tend to forget people watch honest reviews because they want to know how much of a crap a product is and if they can tolerate that crappy feature of that said product. You sir deserves a like and a subscribe from a mere mortal like me who is tired of seeing fake and sponsored honest review videos praying a lot of people will share your vids in social media so that hopefully very soon you sir will have a Million Subscribers.

If you untick the enhanced audio setting in the audio settings properties the speakers will sound 100 times better thats how i fixed my LEGO speakers

Debloating windows on my Legion Go has cut down a lot of back ground processing which did lead to lower temps.

Pretty happy being able to play ff14 @ 60 fps with 44c-48c with smart fans enabled and 35c-38c with full fans enabled (playing with headphones anyways)

I love mine. On it right now as a second display while at work. Its very portable. Detach joycons and put the main device in an iPad sleeve. Put controllers in a small portable battery case.

As a former owner of the Ally x.
Yes the ally x has better software, better audio, better battery. But the legion go even with all of its misses still came out on top. A 2K tablet when you’re not gaming. Removable joy cons are great. The screen immerses me so much while gaming. The Ally x doesn’t have a small screen it just didn’t immerse me into the game like the Lenovo Go. I have a better gaming experience. The Lenovo Go has a kickstand. So I’ve used it to play smash brothers with friends and Bluetooth controllers. Kickstand is a great feature especially for an office environment. The ally x can only be used in your hand’s unfortunately. For the power, I usually keep it as plugged in at work, and on the go I don’t really need 5-6 hours of battery life but I do have a power bank in case I do. The ROG ally x is superior, but the Lenovo Gos charm is what made me decide. More immersive, while also replacing my IPad Pro. It’s a win.

You and a couple other YouTubers have inspired me to start my own channel on handhelds. And my channel is stsrting to get a little bit of attention! Always appreciate your honest reviews. Keep it up dude!

[mikehorton]

Man those are some weird problems you've had, even having to hard reset the device. I've had mine since launch so it's from the very first batches and over the months I've had many settings adjustments done by following endless YT videos to finally feel more like a console experience. Top tips:
1. Disable Windows login you'll boot straight in.
2. Install Playnite and make it open in fullscreen mode on startup.
3. Keep it running on 6GB VRAM, it's the best balance.
3. Install Lossless Scaling, it really helps boost FPS on screen with AAA games and PS3 emulation.

Great job on the honest review. I got the the legion go to play on my bed. After working 10-12 hrs. I don't have the energy to sit on my desktop to play. I'm not expecting to take it to travel. But most of the time I use it with headphones since my wife or kids is sleeping. And I can't bare the sound. They really dropped the ball on the speakers. Lol

[choonblaze]

Awesome reviews all around dude! Very detailed and you also give so many tips and tricks that is literally nowhere to be found anywhere, especially on youtube. You've reminded me in one of your videos some of the windows tweaks I used to do but forgot. I fixed up my dusty, forgotten laptop with that stuff and now works great!

[DlNN]

To improve the sound, just go to settings, equalization, create a custom profile and put all the bars up. Save. 100% better and louder sound.

Thanks. Another informative video.

Legion Go is my go to because it immerses me in the game. As someone with a Desktop (3080Ti) and a PS5, I found my best use case to be using the Legion Go at home (also, right by my bed) with Steam Remote Play and PSPlay App. Both work great with seemingly no lag and I can take advantage of the full resolution, the 144 hertz, and no fan noise. It's kind of like a super PS Portal with a bigger, better display that can play your PS5, PC, Xbox and downloaded games for when you are on the road. If you have all the devices, I recommend you try it out.

had mine for 3 months for now no problem yet, everithing works just fine

[Hnnghh]

Yo, I figured out the audio issue, at least in my case.

Audio enhancements in the speaker properties was set by default to "device default effects".
Turn that off and it makes a huge difference!

Thank you for the video!

[suhtangwong]

Just got mines last week, still learning about it.

[Cenkolino]

Still my favorite device for retrogaming.

[HandheldGamingFan]

Its weird i got the allyx and played with it non stop since, but then i went back to the go and the screen is just so good for gaming even with no vrr.

[JBone_Capone]

Had mine for 6 months now. Love it. Especially where I have little time to game with the baby. Only complaints really are the external speakers, legion space/quick menu is a bit laggy, needs some work. Otherwise? This thing is a monster for a handheld.

Can’t wait to see what they do for the next iteration. Would love to see OLED, or VRR since you can’t really make use of the high resolution anyways. I can’t really tell a difference between 1200p and 1600p with an 8 inch display. Pair that with a better battery, and I think it’ll rule the next gen of handhelds.
