fantastic video that has made the buying process easier when looking for the right handheld. Finally a video that doesn't spend the entire time saying does what better and just talks about one device that i actually want to know about.

@patrickpalma2104 6 ай бұрын

Ok this has got to be the most useful honest review on a gaming unit I've ever seen. Not based of the benchmarks but based off real world use. 👍 I've been going back and forth on which handheld to get and this just made it easy for me.

This was super helpful. As a father i saw this thing and thought, with this i may have the time to play some of the pc games i have. Be because of the kids i can rarely just chill at my desktop for hours. It comes on friday and i cannot wait. Thanks for the oddly specific review for a person in my situation.

I just recently got the legion go too and the way I downloaded games was just clicking download on the legion go, and it said transferring instead of downloading, and it was using my pc as a server without any setup. Also I think you missed the mode where you use the mouse with the right controller and the left controller as normal, I use that for playing overwatch on the go.

@bigsmoothkaj 6 ай бұрын

Nice vid! One suggestion: instead of sleep mode when you hit the power button on the legion go, change your settings to Hibernate. This way the device won’t accidentally wake up on travel. The boot up process is still pretty quick. Other than that, quite refreshing to see a positive video about the Go.

Rogue wake timers can wake up the device when hibernating or even off.

Loved this video from a Dad’s perspective! I often have family come to visit which renders my office/guest room unavailable. Would love to see more content regarding the legion go and other games tested. How do you feel about the battery life? Do you find yourself plugged in all the time or do you try to play on battery?

@DualWieldingDad 4 ай бұрын

Battery life is very dependent on settings/games. I think the battery life is fine. I can get a few hours of battery from a big game which is I need or turn on the battery saving settings and run something light for several hours and still have battery left

As a steam deck owner I've been itching to get a windows based handheld as linux is garbage. The ally missing a track pad and such a small screen just put me off it. Definitely looking at getting this as a handheld/dock set up with an egpu. Only thing that puts me off the Lenevo is the speakers are terrible and I've heard that the joycons are loose and have had problems with the clip mechanism

You my man saw this device for what it is. Every single other video is “bUt X hAnDhElD iS bEtTeR” like bro why you comparing apple pie with steak? Yes we eat both but they got different purposes! Anyway. This was refreshing. I’m basically looking for reinforcement after I bought this on impulse. It’s legit great. Trying to get my sister into gaming so I’ve pretty much given the TV up to her and tbh I don’t miss the bigger screen. This screen is the bomb. A niche advantage is that GeForce Now looks eye-popping good. Forza Horizon 5’s visuals come together amazingly in the smaller screen area. Great video!

steam lets you transfer the game file from one device to another if login in with the same account and in the same network

@DualWieldingDad 6 ай бұрын

It was hit or miss for me. I need to troubleshoot. It’s probably my network. It would still download it from steam even though I had the proper setup.

if you leave steam open then press install with your desktop online it will transfer the game files from your pc if that game is installed, just so you know backing up then transfering is a waste of time
