Here is my unboxing and first look at the Lenovo Legion Go portable PC gaming console that aims to conquer the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck.

I like all your talking points, you did a good job. I've watched several of these kind of videos and I think your explanations and rationale was the best. Keep up the good work. I get my Legion Go tomorrow Im hyped!

The Steam Deck wasn't the first by a long shot. The transformative part of the Steam Deck was that they hit the price they did. AyaNeo and GPD have been making these machines for years. The Steam Deck brought them to the masses. The Lenovo is only following in the footsteps of the Steam Deck in targeting the new price ceiling that the Steam Deck pioneered. If you haven't been following the market it's easy to miss what makes these devices significant but it's not their existence...it's their price and to a lesser degree their performance.

I'm enjoying the 1st impressions, hopefully it lives up to all expectations within the performance and the UI. On a side note unrelated, hope you get better soon from your surgery recovery.

I picked up the Legion Go lastnight, just waiting for it to arrive. Great review bro! I was going to get the Nintendo Switch because it has the same design with the controllers as well as the game library, but the Switch is very outdated and doesn't run modern Windows. Second choice was the latest Steam Deck. I opted out of the SD and the Ally because the controllers aren't removable. Besides, I can use the Go's tablet as a 'big-screen' TV/PC for my daughter's Barbie dollhouse.

I mounted my steam deck on a monitor stand using deckmate. Legion go can also be mounted using tablet mount on to your desk. I think it need to floating onto your desk rather than sitting to prevent water spill.

Love mine. It's the everything portable. And the FPS mode is legit. I just wish Emudeck was as fully featured as the Steamdeck version. But I guess that's what my Steamdeck is for.

What do you think about the thumb sticks? I was really disappointed with the rog allys thumb sticks being so loose and flimsy feeling. I know these are Hall effect, but I'm more specifically talking about the tension. How do you feel they compared to the steam deck, the ally, or even a traditional Xbox or PS5 controller?

[odinrothschild]

Actually its not the first. The Onexplayer 2/2 pro already has a detachable controller and has its own keyboard/touchpad. This one should come with a keyboard to be a full system.

[js]

The Trackpad has protective film, BUT THE SCREEN DOESN'T?!? So they just basically build it and throw it inside of a box?!? I just returned mine because i thought they gave me a used or refurbished one. My S24 & Watch 6 i had to peel off temporary screen protector & packaged way better than this.

Needs a 100w home dock with big cooling fan. Have a 50walt mode or something.

[robertwendal]

The increased ram and larger battery make the legion go have better performance than the Ally, additionally you can use any E-GPU on the Legion, Ally only supports their 2 over priced GPU's

[TheAcex]

Wasnt satisfied with the steam deck when I heard about this lt caught my attention . It has Windows 11, which is great for my extracting files and doing some mods.The design looks better than the steam deck and sleeker.

[ebombermusic]

What is better to buy? ASUS ROG ALLY or LENOVO LEGION GO, please? I've heard this Lenovo has a loud fan noise.

[rlouis]

Order mines on the 26th thinking I would get it by the 1st ups and Best Buy says its coming on the 7th I’m like i was told the first but ok kind of pissed but got the 1gb version and i have a 1gb so card ready for add on

[thewhitetogrey]

Apparently the portrait display they used is going to cause some games to be unplayable ☹️ I still bought it though lol

[i_Like_Goya]

I preorder mine about 2 weeks ago and it’s saying that would be at my home in mid November
And I called BB and they said that they don’t have them in stock till further notice

I’m wondering if 800p looks good still. In theory it should look somewhat native since it’s exactly half the native resolution of that screen.

Is size an issue at that resolution?
