Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! Also, you're subscriber #777, very cool 🙃 Have a great rest of your day.

Nice job. Great review

Thank you! 🙃

Within the first 2 weeks, I definitely used as much of the functions as I could. It was full-time night job for that week before posting 🤣 Thanks for the positive comments! Have a great rest of your day. 🙃

Thank you so much 🙂. I appreciate the kind words, and I'll keep looking for ways to improve as well. I'm glad it helped you out. Have a fantastic day and week!

u look like the handsome asian guy from hawaii five 0

Lol, well... I certainly have had a blast with it 😆

I agree, stomps the SteamDeck and Ally...rough start tho and Legion Space needs work

Hey, thank you! There was a lot to cover, and this was actually cut down to as short as I could get it 🤣. I agree, it's definitely useful to get all the info you can on expensive stuff. I'm glad that it has helped people. Have a good rest of your day 🙂

Thanks so much! LOL, yea I know that feeling 🤣. I was reading endlessly about it before I finally got mine. I knew I'd keep it, but I was prepared for all the potential negatives I was hearing. To my surprise, it's an absolute beast. You can use this for nearly anything, and then put it in a small bag and just go about your day. I think it's a great investment. I think we're good 🙃

Best review becouse no negatives mention here? You waisted 700 bucks or 800 euros. 😂 Lenovo crap buy nintendo switch next time better for your pocket and gaming.

For many, the Switch cannot compare. It's also strictly a gaming device. For another $200-$250, you can grab an open-box Legion Go or Rog Ally. If you need the ballpark budget of a Switch, the Steam Deck is there, and it's better as well. It's actually difficult to find a reason to choose a Switch over any of them, unless you specifically want Nintendo games and the smallest size possible. Even then... emulators. The Switch only dominates in multiplayer mode, it is great there. The Legion and Rog have the ability to be used for everyday life, creation, work, business, gaming, etc. The Switch is not truly in the same league. I love my Switch, but it's certainly not pocketable, and the game selection is limited. I rather have the bigger size, bigger screen, drastically better gaming power, and overwhelmingly larger potential and freedom of Windows. Additionally, There's an entire "cons" section that's titled "negatives." Maybe you should research a little before commenting... just saying 🤣

@@MustangCarnivore888 you still have to pay for games. That the whole point, they sell the console at a lost and they sell you 60 to 70 dollars games, with no chance of sales, but with Lenovo legion go, you can get access to cheap steam games and epic games freebies etc.....

Thanks so much, I am glad it was helpful. Have a great night 🙃

I appreciate it 🙃 Have a good one!

Thanks so much! 🙃

That's very kind of you, thank you. I did work hard on this one, lol. I'm certainly glad it provided some value for you. Thanks for watching, have a great week 🙃

Thank you so much! 🙃

I appreciate it! Your comment brightened my day 😄 Have a good one yourself.

Haha, yea it took a few. I hope it helps you out. Trying to finish this asap, I feel like I haven't seen daylight all week 🤣

Thanks! I'll definitely keep the rhythm going in the next big item I review. Have a great week 🙃

I bet you're excited! It's a really cool device. You're also at a good time because most of the updates have fixed the larger issues for people. Thanks for the comments, they're appreciated. Have a good one, and enjoy yours 🙃

Thanks! Have a great day 🙃

Thanks Matt! I appreciate the kind words and support. I'm happy it helped. Cheers 🙃

Thank you! 🙃

Thanks for the support! 🙃

Happy it helped! 🙃

Happy it helped 🙃

Wow, thank you so much! It means a lot that you took the time to write such kind words. I hope you enjoy your new Go. Have an awesome upcoming week 🙃

Much appreciated, I love mine too 😆

Thanks for the kind words, glad it helped 🙃

Thanks! I'm glad it helped. The screen is brilliant, but the d-pad isn't the same feel as a full fledged controller. I like it, and I've used it for 2D games (like Last Faith). However, it's not as deep as a PS5 d-pad. If you're rolling your thumb at angles for MK1 combos, it's a little harder to feel the exact diagonal direction you're in, if that makes sense. This is because of the shallow feel. I think it's responsive, but I can see the appeal of a deeper physical feedback because that would help you gauge what you're doing. So far, it works well. It's about a 2.4cm square when the PS5 d-pad is about 2.6cm, for reference (2.54cm = 1"). It's nearly the same. The click feedback is strong, but not loud. I really think someone could adapt to it, but I cannot say for sure since I don't have MK1 to test. Additionally, each person will have their own taste in what pad feels and works best. Worst case, external controller... but that defeats the purpose somewhat 🤣 Good luck

Thanks so much. It's comments like yours that make days better. I really tried to keep it interesting, lol. I'm glad it worked out. Have a great week, and great handle name! 😆

Thanks so much! Have a good one 🙃

Thank you! This device is awesome, I hope you enjoy it. Have a good one 🙃

Appreciate it 🙃

Good vibes, that's cool, thanks. You're right, it's awesome for a grab and go quick entertainment device, but also great for a long-term serious workstation too. 🙃

Hey, thanks so much! Yea, this system with the larger screen and power behind it make it a powerful little working tool for portability. I'm definitely glad it helped you out. Again, thanks for the kind words and have an awesome week 🙃

Thanks! I've used it quite a bit since then, for working, and it has been great. It's surprisingly powerful. I'm currently using it to work remotely and typing to you on it right now🤣. Granted, having a larger external monitor dramatically helps workflow, lol. Reaper should have 0 issue on here, has Blender been good on it?

@@ColtonJ It's handled Blender shockingly well. I mostly work with the Eevee renderer, and I find it responsive enough. I've tried some Cycles renders, and it isn't nearly as quick as my desktop (with rtx 3080), but that's to be expected. I'm going to be away from my desktop for the next few months (traveling internationally and I don't want to lug it) so I've been piloting the Legion Go + Pluggable USB4 Dock running my two ultrawides at home (both 3440x1440 100+ hz monitors). It's handled it just fine, I'm comfortable making it my primary machine while I'm traveling, and I'll probably use it for work at home going forwards, too. If only so I kick out less heat into my small office. I'll save the desktop for tough renders and games the Legion Go struggles with (like running Baldur's Gate III on an ultrawide resolution)

That's awesome. You just added more data for it being a capable workstation, which I agree it is. Thanks for the info. Happy travels as well 🙃

Thanks! I was definitely planning on using this as an all-in-one travel device. It's about half the size of a laptop, has a controller, and seems to run everything I've tried. It's a win, so far 🙃

I'm happy it helped. It's definitely a great little machine. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! It's a fairly solid gaming device. After the December updates, it's really on track and smooth to use. I've had great performance on everything I've played, and I've only had an issue with the joystick accuracy within FPS games. But of course, my experience is limited to a small number of games. I think it's a safe bet, and at least you can test its performance within a return period, lol. If there's some specific info that you're looking for, let me know, and I'll see if I can give you a quick answer. Either way, I hope it works out for you.

I appreciate the kind words, thank you. I would love to do more in the future. Until the channel is larger, I will have to stick to what I can fit in my limited schedule, and to what I can get my hands on 🤣. I actually wanted to review retro or unique tech items that people may not have heard of, but that have performed well and are fun or amazing. I plan on doing new devices mixed in, as I'm very much an early adopter type. I will do my best to keep up with the trends🙃

I appreciate that, thanks. Hope you enjoy yours, it's an awesome device. 🙃

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words. It is appreciated 🙂. I'm happy it provided some value to you. Have an awesome weekend!

My channel is just about to turn 4 months old. I hope it grows 🤣. Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy your new Go and have an awesome weekend 🙃

Haha... yea 🤣 I'm hopeful to have the channel grow. Thanks for watching, have a good rest of your week 🙃

Awesome! I'm glad it helped you out. It is nice to visualize something you own to compare it with so you have an idea of what you'll be getting, so that's cool that it worked out. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. Have a good one 🙂

@@ColtonJ And not only that, but I went ahead and ordered one after watching your review. Got it today. Still setting the thing up, but digging it so far!

That's great. I love mine, it's my favorite device, lol. Have fun with it!

Thanks! 🙃Yea, I am just going for info sessions with a bit of my preferences thrown in. Hope it helped, have a good one.

These are quite a bit of effort, lol. I really appreciate the kind words, thank you. Yes! I love Evo's too! Haha... another car person, thanks for commenting. Have a great week ahead 🙃

Lol, I love mine. Thanks for watching 😄

​@@ColtonJI've order one do you recommend it

Definitely, I can't put mine down 🙂

@@ColtonJ good enough for me

Not true, unless they are shilling for the OLED Stem deck, most real authentic tech reviewers keep it cuz they know it's a new device and will only get better with software updates

🤣 Thanks for watching, have a good one

Thank you! Yea, I am using this for all kinds of stuff outside of gaming. This has been my favorite thing in recent years 🙃. Unfortunately, I just verified that all my folding keyboards do not function wirelessly, lol. If your device lacks Bluetooth, you can usually add a dongle ( something like this: amzn.to/3N20EeA ). Yes, I'm positive they're on their own Bluetooth chip. I actually did the visual demo of this, but I cut it, among many other things, to lower the video time, lol. When the unit's Bluetooth is toggled off in the Windows menu, the controllers function when separated.

@@ColtonJ Thank you very much for testing it out for me! I aim to run everything wired in order to remove all sources of EMFs. I've slept much better, regardless of what everyone says. Now on a quest to find the best lightweight, portable keyboard that has a dock built in and is wired lol. Weird requests, I know. I for one definitely enjoyed the long video, I'd rather watch one in depth one than waste days going through 10s of videos and reddit threads to find the answers. I know the algorithm likely punishes you but hey, you definitely save people A LOT of time with this. So thanks again!

Hey, no worries. Whatever makes you comfortable and happy, do it. Haha, yea... I'm sure I didn't optimize correctly, but I'm more concerned with helping people than being big on KZfaq. Additionally, I just loved this device. So, I was happy to spend late nights testing and documenting it. I was also traveling with another style keyboard that was not folding. It was slim and portable, and it slid in small pockets. Here's one that's wired that's like this ( amzn.to/4a1MXqe ) It's not folding, but it's thin and portable like my other. Maybe that would work for you. I've no idea about a docking mix. Although, I have a small hub I use for travel, it's in the description. Thanks again for the comments. Good luck finding your gear 🙃

Thanks! 🙃

🤣 it was a lot of info. Thanks for watching! Have a good one 😀

@@ColtonJ im actually thinking of replacing my laptop with this one or a mac mini m2 or mini pc. I seldom game but i like this portability and a ready to go screen, just thinking if it gets hot if i browse like crazy with chrome like 40 tabs?

Hmm... yea I cannot say for sure, but I don't think it runs hot at all. I guess it depends on your definition of hot. Your issue may be noise, not heat. You can change the performance modes though, and it will keep it quiet and cool. RAM is more applicable for Chrome tabs, but Chrome has gotten better as well. I believe it would work well, but you should really sort out exactly what you need and compare the others closely. Good luck with it

Thank you! Have an awesome day 🙃

@@ColtonJ hoping you create a lot more Legion Go content.

I'll definitely do a long-term one, but I'm going to throw a few more smaller ones on the channel asap. Thanks for the support 😀

Thanks! 🙃

Glad it was helpful! 🙃

@@ColtonJ are you still happy with the device or did you meanwhile change / sold it?

I love this thing. I still use it almost daily. I also have none of the issues I hear about (other than annoying fan noise when it's a high power game). I really take care of it, so that probably helps maintain its integrity.

@@ColtonJ taking care: do you mean that you never push it to the limit (aka 30 watt TDP?)

Hey, no I just mean that I don't drop it or handle it roughly. l don't put excess tension on the controllers, so mine are not loose or wiggling, etc. I have turned it up to 30W. Turning up the wattage won't do anything to the system, it should self throttle and protect itself from heat. Also, it doesn't run as hot as it could, from my experience. 30W TDP has provided me no noticeable performance boost. 25W can possibly boost games, it's hard to say, but I don't have enough data to be accurate in saying that. I mainly play on performance mode (20W). Most of my games perform great on that.

Thanks for sharing that. That is a great idea! I hope they do too, lol. I just double checked, and we can only do single changes. Finally, another Last Faith player 🤣. I ended up beating that game so quickly, it was great to grab and go, or put down quick. I'm just waiting on the new game plus. 😆 Did you enjoy it? What was your main weapon?

@ColtonJ Yeah for sure! I'm very traditional and used the sword most of the game 🤣 occasionally swap out to the axe and mace depending on the boss. I haven't finished it yet been going back and forth between this and Bioshock (another game that plays and looks awesome on the legion go)

That's awesome. Later in the game, you get a really cool sword. I ended up using the giant, heavy sword for most the game too 🤣. Have fun with it!

WOW, thank you! 🙃 I looked at the Steam Deck OLED, but I am pretty sure it's the same 3.2 Gen 2 port. Some ports can bottleneck better GPU's. So yea, with a really nice setup like that, I would probably lean towards the Go too, lol. I'm also part of the HP Spectre club, great little laptop. 😄

@@ColtonJ except mine's the 2018 model with no Battery Care BIOS function to limit charge to 80%, hence every year I've to spend ~40$ USD to replace swelling batteries. Fken HP!! 😅😅😅

I have a 2018 model too! 😆 I replaced the fans in it, yet my battery is still alive. It's probably because I don't use it often and it's not plugged in for long. Yea, they had that battery health manager or something, but I think it's all for business grade laptops only. It's insane how conservation settings aren't in every laptop. 🫤

Haha, this is true... 🙃

Thank you! 🙃

I know where you're coming from. I've been in that position of having to work in the OS that doesn't flow for me, lol. The M1 Pro is a good chip, and the way Apple integrates things is somehow magic sometimes. You can look up comparisons via similar things, like the 7840u 780M, but I don't think that will provide real-world usage. Something like this ( www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_7_7840u-vs-apple_m1_pro_8_cpu ) I'll admit, I'm not an Apple buff, and I won't pretend to know enough to offer pertinent solutions with it. For reference, I have stronger computers with Nvidia and AMD GPU's that I use for Premiere Pro. Nvidia has CUDA cores which, in my opinion, dominates the boost you get with GPU acceleration. AMD uses OpenCL, and it works fine too. The Z1Ex APU inside the Go doesn't seem to offer anything like this. However, Premiere 24 did have that "hardware" checkbox, as seen in the video. I haven't investigated further yet. I haven't tested it enough. I've done minor 4k editing, and some 1440p. If I get time in the near future, I'll try to edit something larger on my Go, or drag over an intensive project and let it render, on the Go vs on my Nvidia laptop, and see how it works out. Please don't hold me to this because I'm insanely busy 🤣 However, I'll try to do it asap. I may just make a short of it so it can help others.

I'm glad it helped. The unit is very capable. I didn't touch on much back then because I cut a lot of program time out to shorten the, already long, video 🤣. I've run quite a bit on Ableton, and it has had zero issues with low CPU usage. I've not installed Kontakt on it, but I've ran a lot of other midi instruments within dozens of vocal and instrument tracks, many having individual plugins vs using send/returns only. I was going to do a more extensive review of this, but not for a while (likely February). I think it should have no issue handling large tasks. This CPU is a beast. 😈

That's great to hear & thanks for the response!!!.. ~ Definitely would like to see a follow up when able, concentrating on using the Legion as a portable music workstation... ~ ( Think I'm right in saying that DAW's are generally single-core hungry & the CPU inside the Legion Go, when compared to something like a MacBook Air M1 or M2 or Microsoft Surface Pro 9... Looks on paper really promising... But maybe not the best cost effective option... ) ~ As a fan of Metroid-vania's, the fact it's predominantly a gaming system... Is a massive bonus though!!!... ~ ( Have looked at the Zenbook Pro Duo & Asus Rog Flow X13 as much more expensive alternatives... )

It will be a while, but I plan on doing that video just for fun, when I get time, lol. For reference, this processor is equivalent to an AMD 7840u. I won't pretend to know all the variations of Apple processors, but I thought I read that the Z1 processor has better single core performance than a few of the M1/M2 variants. There are other factors to consider, of course, but that may help. You may also want the extra screen area of the X13, etc. It wasn't ideal to edit music on the 8.8", but it was still completely doable. I'm also very used to huge, multiple monitor setups, so that may be part of it as well. You're right though, having this with gaming built in is a huge plus 😄 (I too love Metroidvania's)

Wow, much appreciated! Thanks so much for the support 😀. Have an incredible week!

I had to watch a little further, its fxsound isnt it

It's FxSound, yep. If you want ultimate control for free, you can download APO and use Peace GUI.

I figured as much, lol. Glad it worked out for you. Side note; Lenovo is implementing all updates (drivers and BIOS as well) into Legion Space for this very purpose.

🤣 ... Awesome

No worries, it's not for everyone.

At the time of this video, I didn't see much of a difference in heat between modes. On other gaming laptops, I typically disabled turbo boost fully or put it in "efficient aggressive" or "efficient enabled" to reduce heat because they tend to stay pinned high for some reason on some platforms. I planned on doing that here, but found I didn't need to. My CPU stays very cool, far cooler than my laptops. Although, it's possible I don't push mine as hard as others, lol. My fan is also not too loud, in my opinion. The slight coil whine can be bothersome, but I cannot even hear it when the volume is 20% or so. Also, my fan never goes full power or even near the sound/speed as when you toggle on "full fan speed." However, now that you mention this, maybe I will double back and see if battery life increases (without knocking performance) or if anything has changed with various OS power modes. It's always good to optimize, thanks for the info.🙃

Microsoft Office apps work well. They really don't take much power, and this machine can handle them with ease. The keyboard makes working a lot easier too. Not all keyboards will perform the same. Some cheaper Bluetooth keyboards may be poor in quality and connection, but mine are working well. The only issue you'd come across is if the screen isn't big enough for you. You can adjust font size and zoom. I find 8.8" to be decent for writing and basic design. For elaborate things, I would use an external monitor. Cheers

Thanks for the thoughts. The music was pretty random, it was just my liked songs on Spotify that popped up first 🤣. I'm definitely into EDM styles, but not much for rock/metal, sorry to say. I appreciate the suggestions. I am digging the Carbon Based Lifeforms stuff. Thanks for watching! Have a good one. 🙃

@@ColtonJ Awesome, yeah CBL music puts in a cool trance

Yea, thanks. I did mention that in the future update videos. This video was before that update, lol. I have it set to "medium" speed now. It's nice to have options. Thanks for watching, have a good one.

Ah, thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely check that out. To be honest, I've had so little free time that I haven't been able to play any games lately 🤣 However, Marauders is now on my list. I'm sold, and I'll check it out soon. 🙃

Haha, thanks so much! 😆

I've played it for hours on end without putting it down. You can let the base rest in your lap while playing, if you fatigue. I've even started adapting my grip to suit a higher stance which allows me to use the triggers quicker. I feel it's a none issue. However, it could depend on the person, their size, and their natural resting grip location. I would wager that you, and most, would be fine.

🤣 I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for watching

Wow! I sure hope so 😂😂😂 been following the handheld pc scene quite some time now, just don't have the budget to buy one 😅.

It's not the best, but that Rog Ally Z1 variant goes to $299 at Best Buy here and there. I think that's a good deal for what it is. It's significantly more affordable than the Go.

@@ColtonJ Yup, I've heard a lot of youtubers recommending it but we don't have best buy here in the UK. And even with that price tag I still can't afford it 🤣. I think a year or more until I can save up for that 😂😂

Ah, I see. I used to live in London for a long while. I loved CeX. I'm surprised you haven't stumbled across a decent used handheld that's affordable there. Although, maybe there are better options now, lol. Good luck 🙃

Yes, exactly! 🤣 I think I'm slowly adapting, yet it does affect my reflex time.

I don't know what that is. If something works with Windows, it's probably going to work fine with this. This is just a small Windows computer.

Cool, thanks! I still have yet to pick that up, but I think I will soon 🙃

That game is fire. Scary enemy AI

Hey, a regular foam/rubber tipped stylus at the end of my ball point pen did work (capacitive/passive). I do not have an active stylus with me, but I'll check in the next 2 days ( I have an HP, Surface Pro, and maybe another). I believe it was stated by Lenovo's team, early on, that the screen wouldn't support pressure sensitive inputs and digital styluses... or styli? 🤣 I do have an S-Pen (Samsung), from my phone, with me, and it doesn't work with the Go. That was nearly a given though, lol. I believe the S-Pen works via induction and requires a digitizer layer behind the screen. I'll update if one ends up working, but if not... they didn't work.

Thanks mate, I wld assume only the basic rubber tip stylus work. Good to know u have / going to try on those active ones

Hey, just an update... The active ones do not work. I've tried them all. 🫤

I initially felt like that too, it's not just you, lol. However, I actually use Y1 (mapped as "menu") so much now that I like it. I tend to press the others here and there, and it can be annoying. I leave them all unmapped. That's a good idea for them to release a cheaper variant with no back buttons. If this thing keeps moving in the market, maybe we'll see more accessories. The screen is awesome though, yes! 😆

Lol... I do the same thing. The kickstand takes away all the fatigue of holding it. I love that thing. 🙃

I mentioned this in the first section of the video, but I haven't needed it once. I like VRR, don't get me wrong, and I'd prefer the option. However, I just haven't had a need for it on this, and I do not think it will ever be an issue. I think you'll be fine in 99.99% of what you do. Keep in mind that this is personal experience, and each person will have a different one. Good luck

I think it would work fine for that level of video editing. I haven't had a chance to render a whole lot on here, so I cannot speak for rendering times. I think each situation is going to be different, regardless of resolution we use, etc. but it should work for many.

@@ColtonJ Thank you!

Definitely, you can use DuckStation, arguably the best PS1 emulator. That was the first thing I used on the Legion Go. I haven't played that game, but I see that it is supported. With this device, you can put some nice filtering on it to improve the quality a fair amount. Depending on which phone you have, you can play that right on your phone as well. You may not have the upscaling processing abilities to the same degree, but you can grab a controller (or use the on screen ones) and play a lot of PS1 emulators on your phone. Cheers

The heat is low. I've never seen it above 70° C. In intensive games, it usually stays in the low 60's, max. Granted, I haven't gamed a whole lot in 30W mode. Even then, it was fine. I find 20W performance mode to function well, and I'm usually on that in bigger games.

Lol, yea I mentioned that they're more like buzzing than vibration, but it's better than nothing. They certainly can be improved.

Yea, I agree. They could've done a few things to maximize the marketing and quality of life for users, lol. I could be wrong, but I thought I read about a dock in the works. Again, that could have been talk. They may be waiting, upon this thing making moves in the market, to approve budgets for further R&D or production. It may come at some point. You can technically use Steam Deck docks, but most don't work well, or at all, because the cable is too short. This one is the only one that seems to be valid for the ROG and may be slightly longer. amzn.to/3RxsBOf However, with any of these, you may have to get a USB 4 extension cable too. On top of that, you want 1440p output at 144hz (HDMI 2.0 should do this) as well as 100w support so it will passthrough enough power when you want to use 25-30W mode. I may pick this one up in the near future, but I haven't needed to dock mine yet. I'm going to pick one of these up right now and I'll throw up a short review, if it works 🙃

It's a Microsoft keyboard. It's this one here amzn.to/49iK9nm I put the black version in the video description, but this is the actual one. Granted, they all look really similar and perform the same, lol. It's a good keyboard.

@@ColtonJ nice, thank for the information

Think about the top 3 factors you're looking for in a handheld. See which has those or compares the closest. Also contrast what you have with the top 3 differences. If it were me, and I already owned a smaller screen handheld, I'd go for the larger screen over everything else. The screen size is going to be the absolute biggest difference between the 3. For games like Diablo IV, I'd want the most screen size. The removable controllers may be to your liking, but I can do with or without them (other than for packing, that's great). The Rog is the smallest, sounds the best, and has VRR. 🤔

Hey, I think I remember hearing (before this came out) that they were working on a proprietary dock for the Go. I think Lenovo might release an official one, but that could've just been banter. I don't think I'm fully catching your description, but maybe you could try a portable type, instead of a larger stationary type. I tried my hub through my elbow adapters, I believe. I can double check. I put a link to that hub from my video in the description. That has all those ports, and it may be possible to run a small extension or adapter if it's Thunderbolt 3 rated. I'll keep it in mind when I'm trying stuff, next time. Maybe elaborate a little more so I can be of better help. I always like hearing new good ideas to work with as well 🙃

I have tried two docks: ParkSung dock, its massive a chonker but it has a replaceable type c cable and can reach either port with longer cable but need a right angle for the bottom. Zmuipng dock cannot work at all with the leGO its too far away to reach and it cannot stand the legion up without the kickstand deployed.

Hey, I did end up finding a good one that fits. amzn.to/3RjW116 I hope that helps you out. If you want to see it used, check the end of the December Update video. Cheers

Hey, alright. I can try to put something together soon. Do you have any VST's you're looking for in particular? Granted, we probably have different stuff, lol. When you say 64 track, you're meaning 64 bit VST's, right? I think most of my 3rd party ones are 64bit version VST3's.

@@ColtonJ i mean 64 is multiple different track. i want to know how the device handle multi processing. with multiple vst stack and multiple tracks too. maybe you can try arturia? or ozone the one that use big cpu energy.

@@ColtonJ this device is catch an eye of multiple audio student in my university.

Alright, lol. 64 tracks is a lot, but I'll see what I can do. I do have Ozone. I will work on that as soon as I get time. It's always fun making music anyhow 🙃

Yea, absolutely. You should be able to connect it to any TV with any version HDMI input. At 32:00, you can see the tv connection reference. I used an inexpensive hub (this one: amzn.to/47zZijH ). The monitors I used were USB C connections on each end. . The hub allowed me to use one USB C on one side and it plugs an HDMI into the other. That HDMI cable will go to your tv. My smaller hub is HDMI 2.0b (supports up to 4K 60Hz TV's). If your TV is 4K 120Hz, you'll want HDMI 2.1 on your hub (like this: amzn.to/3RneCuq ). This port is USB 4 on the Go, so it can support up to 40Gbps. Some USB4 devices list that they're limited to single displays only. However, I was able to run multiple displays from the top port and one hub. You could also try a direct cable (like this: amzn.to/49W6gRD ) However, I cannot vouch for that because I've not tested that type. Theoretically, that should work.

You happened to catch me in a free moment, so here's my take. A lot of these sound like Window's issues, as opposed to Legion Go bugs. Games don't generally jump from the game to the desktop. You could be setting display or graphic settings in the game causing the desktop to transform as well, this may bump you back to the desktop, if the game overrides the native settings (many do). It's possible that you're bumping the touchpad (you can toggle this off) or a quick launch button. If you're using the quick menu, some games do force that to overtake them and default back to the desktop. This happens on all of my laptops, not just my Go. Of course, that could just be me. The Xbox controller, I'm unsure. The fact that it's not recognized again is leaning me towards Windows. Once you have a device linked, it should reconnect each time. You should try fully clearing it from Window's Bluetooth menu and linking it fresh. It could be you have many devices connected at once, or distance, etc. If you're putting the Go to sleep then the Bluetooth will disconnect. You can try 3rd party connection apps, such as DS4Windows (despite being made for PlayStation, it may help as everything gets recognized as Xbox in the end). I prefer Steam input, and I've never had an error with it. I would have to default in assuming that there's a deeper issue with your controller hardware or battery. Maybe you can A/B test it with other devices for the same length of time. I've used a PS5 controller with no issues on the Go. However, I've never had the Go controllers disconnected (and turned on) at the same time I'm using a PS5 controller. Maybe they're interrupting each other's signals (if you do this). Sleep will generally close everything down, yet it will save your current state in the RAM until the unit's power runs out. There will be no wifi/hotspot/etc. You can use wake-on-LAN magic packet to turn it on, if you enable and setup this feature, but this will probably not allow you to use internet while it's asleep. If you want the screen off, go to Window's 'power & sleep' settings and adjust the screen timeout accordingly. If you're trying to download, set the sleep for a few hours, and set the screen off for a few minutes, etc. Keep in mind the power of the Go may die, if not plugged in. It's not like a console, at least yet, where you can download while in a sleep state. I too use FXSound, and I've not had an issue. I'm not sure what crackling defines, but distortion may be what you're referring to. This would be from you turning levels up far past what they're supposed to be at, and also turning the volume max. If you use FXSound, I recommend choosing a preset and leaving it at that. The source material you're using could also be the cause. I find most games to be loud at 30-50% without a need to ever go higher, so it's odd to hear that it's low. It may not be full, with lots of bass, but mine isn't low. Maybe the crackling is a glitch in some other means. It's possible your games are becoming part of the issue and causing this crackling noise on audio translation. You can also update your sound drivers from the Legion Go website as well. Granted, I've never had this issue, even on the old ones. For the WLAN driver, I haven't had issues either. Some games download faster than others. Some are packaged as a large file or many smaller ones. Some servers are better, pending your location. It could be your ISP, it could be the time of day and general load on servers or your bandwidth from your ISP, it could be who's sharing your connection, and what else is going on at the same time, etc. If there is truly an issue with the Go, you could simply revert 'rollback' to the older driver. I'm sharing comparison experiences with you. Granted, just because I don't experience it does not mean others are not. You may very well have Legion Go issues, and you almost certainly will have different game issues because it's unlikely that any two people play the same exact games. From what you say, I think most of your problems can be alleviated with some minor searching as well as some updates, resets, or even rollbacks. That's one thing with PC's, they always require something to be set, lol. Hopefully this helped you out. Good luck

@@ColtonJ really kind of you for replying, cheers mate 👍

🤣 Do we?

I've not had that happen to me, but one other person mentioned that they had their controllers go dead. Other than that, I've not heard of it. I'm not sure what game that is, but what platform was it originally running on, Steam? I've never used Legion Space to play anything, yet. I haven't had to force anything through, but that is odd. In Legion Space settings, try going to the controller tab and seeing if you can update the firmware. Also, were the controllers lit up when they were unresponsive? Maybe they timed out, but that would be a bug. Next time, try holding the Legion keys for 10seconds to see if they power back on (if they were off). Lastly, and it may seem simple, lol... When you open a game, it's not always 'on top' and when you click the quick menu, it can sometimes override game interfaces, even though the game appears to be on top. You have to touch the screen of the game to get the controls to function with it again.

@@ColtonJ Thanks for the reply. Fae Farm is a game that runs off from the Epic Game store. Not sure if that has something to do with it. But I was able to run Fortnite without Legion Space and Ally's game hub. So, it might be a very specific issue with that game.

I've also run games through Epic, and through Epic via Steam, without issues. It is true that some games are just really out there with issues and require very specific settings and interfaces to work. I think it would be best to see if any other games have the same issue which would lead you to believe it's a hardware problem on the Go instead of a software problem of the specific game, and then pay attention to what factors were happening when it occurred. Hopefully it was just a one time event, lol. Good luck with it.

@@ColtonJ The controllers seem to be working overall. The Faefarm game seems to work with controllers when it is running through Legion Space. The odd thing about Legion Space is that sometimes when I log back into the Game Library, the game(s) disappeared and then I would have to re-add them again in order to make it work. No such problem on the Ally. Strange.

I bet they're still working on this integration because the Legion Space app is constantly being updated. My only suggestion is to use Steam. I use Steam as the same umbrella program over all the other games and launchers. It's quite good, and certainly smoother than Legion Space at the moment. Maybe that will be a viable alternative for you.

I agree, I wish it were a bit brighter. However, out of direct light, I think it's plenty bright. I haven't really struggled at all. You could try changing the in game brightness or the colors. You could also check out the Steam Deck OLED, it's 600-1000 nits, lol.

That's a lot, lol. It's really different for everyone. Because you said max power and battery isn't an issue, then the Steam Deck isn't really in the running. If it's for girls, the smaller sized body and lower weight of the Rog may be a better fit. I don't know if it's for a surprise gift, but if not... can you have them hold the Rog in store (like Best Buy)? I heard some of them have the Legion Go in store as well, but I cannot confirm that. They may be able to choose which they like the feel of. Both may be too heavy for extended use for some people (double the weight of a Switch). The Legion Go has a large kickstand, but the Rog can clip a tiny one on (3rd party or 3d print). They may need that to balance it. They may really appreciate the controllers disconnecting on the Legion Go so they don't have to hold the device at all. The controllers weigh NOTHING 🤣 They can always use a tiny external controller as well. I chose the Go for the larger 8.8" screen, hands down. If you're asking me my personal choice, the Go. I think it's already hard enough to see distant details in handhelds, even with perfect vision. Therefore, 8.8" is better than 7". The performance will be nearly the same. The Go may have a small advantage in the future with optimization of the slightly better RAM. It's really something that you have to tailor to the person you're getting it for. At least these are some ideas to consider. 🙃 Good luck

Where do you live? The go is only like $636 for the 1tb version at BB.

Yea, the Go is $750 new at Best Buy, but you can probably find a good "open box" model near you. I see some as low as $560 🤔

@@Tiralful yeah the 1tb is 796 brand new on best buy and lenovo’s website not used , but i might go with the open box i see it for 636 before tax, is a device like this ok to get open box it shows its in excellent condition

Best Buy will give you 14 days to return it. I had a buddy who worked for Best Buy, and he said that sometimes they mark stuff as lower condition just to mark it down lower in price, even though it's like new. I've never had a problem with any open-box item, but it can be hit or miss for some. So, you really should check the physical condition and functions before keeping it. I haven't heard of any widespread issues (like SD card failure), so I think you'll be fine. If it was returned for a defect, it's likely you'll see or hear it quickly. A lot of people just bought it at multiple locations, and then Best Buy failed at delivering it the release day so they went to Micro Center, etc. 🤣 Many are, likely, brand new.

I felt the exact same 🤣. I finally tried something the night before I finalized this video. In the "Tips & Advice" section, you might find some help, or at least a lead to something in your situation. It helped my quite a bit, but still not perfect. FYI, they have this at the top of their priority for updates, so I've heard. A fix is in the works.

Hey, that setting also did not work for my left joystick on Last Faith, only the right. I ended up doubling the value for the left, and then it worked. I only showed adjusting the right joystick, but you likely would do both. I am unsure if that may help, but playing with the values may change something. Some games have built in custom deadzones that override things. Since I'll now have time to work on graphics settings and such, as well as better optimization for games, I may try to develop more insight into this. I'll update if I find anything. Good luck with yours 🙃

Thank you, I really appreciate all the information and effort you are doing! If you do get anymore juicy insight valuable information further regarding this please do share Yeah I did see that it is at the top of their todo list, fingers crossed it gets fixed real soon. Ill give the deadzone in steam input settings another look then. Also Forgot to mention great video man!@@ColtonJ

Thanks again, hope it works out. Have a good one!
