Lenovo Legion Go vs Asus ROG Ally | Which Game Console Should You Choose?

Like Nintendo Switch, Legion Go has detachable controllers, a trackpad like Steam Deck, and Windows 11 like ROG Ally.

Lenovo's plans to enter the handheld gaming market were rumored last month, according to our own Jez Corden, and today this information was made official. The company's first Windows gaming handheld, the Legion Go, was just unveiled by Lenovo and features "top-tier specs and visuals." It is a capable gaming system that puts PC functionality in your hands. It has a similar design to the recently released ASUS ROG Ally, but it also has some distinctive controls and detachable controllers like a Nintendo Switch.

Before a serious issue with ASUS' handheld was identified, it appeared for a while that it might become the top PC handheld gaming device. It has a much better screen than the Steam Deck and offers a more powerful processor, as you can see from my ROG Ally review. Not to mention that it can be used to access any gaming service that can be accessed on a gaming computer because it runs Windows 11. The ROG Ally's microSD card, however, could malfunction as a result of a heating design flaw brought on by the vents being too close to the microSD card slot. There is a significant issue here that ASUS hasn't been able to fully resolve.

Can anyone explain for me what is VRR? This is really important? Why no VRR = no buy?

In my lifetime colored gameboy and gamegear was a technical marvel now a handheld can write your college thesis

The only thing asus royally messed up, is their SD card placement.

I always love me a handheld with a larger screen, I think I’ll get it, just wish the display buttons are LED so you can play in the dark.

[JohnStathas-il]

Thanks a lot for the informative review!

Legion Go seems too heavy to be a comfortable handheld.

Im waitin For Lenovo Legion release date in UK or buy Rog Ally?

[AAli-ltmt]

You can plug an external gpu into the ASU’s ally and you can expand the storage . The Lenovo looks better cos of the detachable controllers ability to use the Lenovo glasses and also no point having external gpu defeats objective of a handheld so my best bet is the Lenovo it’s got better refresh rate and better specs 😊

[kevincampbell]

It comes down to the screens. Do you want 1440p or 1080p. Otherwise RAM and GPU are the same.

buying secondhand rog ally for 450 .. and when lenovo comes out sold it for 550 .. i will wait for used lenovo, but i think the bigger screen will make me keep it

you don't need vrr if your hardware is good. these stupid mofos thinks it's the end of the world if your gaming setup doesn't have vrr.

on the other hand the audio of the Rog ally is far above!!!

Hello, unfortunately I am not good at English, so I cannot understand what you are saying. Can you briefly explain whether rog ally is better or legion go? Because I will not buy legion go without testing either of them for a long time in the future. If you can answer scientifically, please be happy.

My issue would be to guess how long would the Chips hold up. Already most the videos i seen with the ally and steam deck seem to always just have low setting on. Kinda disappointing, like at least medium to high. Something that can handle any current gen titles (ps5)
So idk…love the idea, want one but dont want it to be useless fast when newer games comes out

[insanbiasa]

Since rog ally drain battery a lot faster. Is it relevan if we buy a powerbsnk that support 67w to expand rog lifetime to play in public area. I have my rog and how would you say about rog battery lifetime. Its like better you buy a laptop instead to play while charging.

[Orangr]

I'm considering selling my ally and getting the legion ONLY because of the dual usb-4 rather than the Rog PCIe usb-c.

[rabbi]

If a laptop drops can it survive specially if its a flow x13.

[ueg-zmwf]

have legion laptop !!! and its more quiter then my before ones !!!

[xColter]

All these kids are brainwashed about what should and shouldn't be in a handheld. Any of the main handhelds on the market are sick! Worry less and just buy the one you think is cool.

[thinkpady]

No VRR .. no buy, ally would be better
