Legion go is obviously the better choice . People forget to mention that detachable controllers, that opens it for so many more peripherals

[GoHardOrGoHome]

Legion Go for me as i already have one no need in buying another expensive handheld

[wolfcalibur]

I went with the legion go because removable controllers. Can be turned into a wicked powerful tablet. Clear winner for me.

Legion go is severely under rated. The display is phenomenal and the detachable sticks is a joy to use.

Had both and the screen on the LeGo won me over plus all the updates have truly made it so much better

Went for the legion go. I play fighting games mostly so I never really need to push higher framerates than 60, which generally allows me to run full resolution and really take advantage of the screen size difference. And since I'm usually connecting a fightstick, I just take the controllers off and use the touchscreen to launch games, making it a lot less bulky. Can also adjust how much memory is reserved for games in the bios, which helps narrow that small performance gap, since I'm generally not multitasking and disable a lot of default windows functions.

I originally went to Best Buy for an Ally but when I saw the size difference in person, the Legion Go was a no brainer.

i had the original ally and the legion go. in the beginning it liked the ally more but the go had grown on me with every update and i cant go to the ally anymore because of the smaller and less colourfull screen. i really hope that levono brings out a second go next year

[SuperHyphyOne]

I went with LeGo because of screen size as well as aspect ratio. 16:10 is great for emulator because it offers more vertical space for 4:3 retro games. The black bars on 16:9 games aren't a big deal on an 8.8" screen as they are on a 7" screen.

So... fan noise you didn't said who has more fan noise? Ally X less the normal Ally but compare to Legion Go ?

[HolloVVpoint]

I want to get the Ally X as a previous owner of the original Ally. However since buying the GO I feel like the screen size has spoiled me and I have a hard time going back to smaller screens eg when using my SD Oled. Don’t really care about the resolution as I don’t need it at this size but handheld gaming is so much better at 8.8-9 inches as compared to 7 inches, not to mention how much easier it is to navigate windows.

I really like my legion go it has a bigger screen with 1600p 144f and detachable controller and some times i use it like IPad for movies and YouTube

[doctorwho]

Thanks bud, saved my money. Will wait for the next gen handhelds cuz I already have an ally z1e

[mattstork]

I'd be keen to see a legion go mid gen refresh if/when that happens

[Godsslave]

I choose legion go for traveling because size matters and both systems can’t survive a 5hr flight without a battery brick.

[darksaga]

I chose the Legion Go, I love the Ally x for its VRR, more ram and battery, but I think those last two features especially the battery should have been implemented in the normal Ally, I feel that the Ally X is a kind of “Ally pro” like other console companies do, correcting small things and charging 400 usd more I don't see the point, but if you keep the same z1 processor no matter how much ram you use the performance difference is not that big and the last updates of the Legion have left it very well refined playing Baldurs Gate on high at 1000p between 45/55 fps at 25w and not even reaching 65c is beautiful.

Update: By mistake I saw the price in euros and did not realize, if you do not have any the purchase is worth it, the difference with the normal Z1 extreme are at this time 100 usd, but I would not make the leap or in my case I have the legion, I do not see sense to change, if they put a slightly larger screen without doubt if I would, or I would have waited to buy this one

few question
1.does legion go work without controller?.. i mean as standalone tablet. surface kind of things.. will it boot normally
2.Does legion go work as lite video editing device since colour accuracy is better than ally x
3. in stand mode can u still access legion go usb port?

[TheWarptOne]

I have the Legion Go and have no desire to change to the Ally X. The fact that the Ally X is arguably only slightly better than an almost year old Legion Go says a lot about how good the hardware on the Legion Go was from the start. Ally X should be so much better as it's basically a 3rd gen unit but it's not.

Damn Matthew, gotta say you look great for 97!
It must be because our city's amazing AQI.

The Legion Go is the only true King so far
