If gaming on a desk: I will take my Desktop PC with a 7950X3d, RTX 4090, 64gb of 6000mhz cl 30 DDr5 memory over any laptop!

thats a lot gear to carry around if one might be moving from desk to a table or elsewhere lol

for moving stuff around the handheld is usually the better option no matter what. I think it only makes sense for a gaming laptop if you intend to do work on it@@podkse

@@podkse i have a desktop and Rog ally. Use one at my desk, if i need to go elsewhere i just take my handheld.

That versatility is nice

I got rid of a similar laptop from Lenovo and picked up a deck

You could have used your laptop to stream to your l l g. That's what i'm doing with mine to my steam deck

Legion go is a lot of fun. I been using my steam deck more only cuz windows a pain, no fault of the legion. I’m gonna try to start using it more I saw they dropped a new update to make some improvements.

I'm in your boat. Got a gaming laptop 3050 i5 8gb ram (I don't do high graphical gaming on pc) but I dont use it. I got my ps5 for heavy gaming. I Got my LLG 3 days ago and I find that I can game with my limited time and works with gamepass

I still feel like laptops are way better. A Gigabyte G5 (i5-12500H + RTX 4060) is around €799 on sale and it's a very thin and light gaming machine. Slap a €70 DualSense or Series 2 Core and for around €880 you get a monstruous performance over the LLGo while still maintaing the ergonomics of a sleek controller. Some people will call out that the LLGo or any other handheld PC is more portable but I'd argue against that. Yes while carry cases do exist the people I know who own a handheld usually take theirs on their respective case AND in a backpack. If you gonna carry a backpack why not take a laptop instead? :D

@@dorayaki5494 Good luck gaming on a laptop on public transit. I have a gaming laptop and there are just somethings you can't do with a Laptop or aren't as accessible as they are with a handheld.

@@Daxter609 Ah for sure I completely agree with you. For that specific use case a SD or a LLGo will be optimal. I don't usually play while moving around (public transit) cause I can't focus properly so a lappy is my choice. I still whip it out to navigate the webs and get some work in but for some reason gaming is not something I enjoy while on a bus for example.

@@dorayaki5494 laptops are bigger and take up more space no matter how you look at it, they also drain more power so their battery life will always be worse. If you pull a steam deck or a legion go out of your bag to play on the airplane or airport nobody will bat an eye If you pull out a 16" laptop that spews hot air around you and has loud fans Not only is it more attention grabbing and obnoxious it's simply uncomfortable unless you have a table to put it on. Gaming Laptops are not designed to sit on your lap. They're too heavy and hot

​@igreshi and im guessing the g14 screen is too small? Look, the applications that my g14 can fit in with is small form factor, light weight, and 10hr long batt life makes me love this device greatly

Can you update brother ? How do you use it ? Still on windows ?

nice collection, exciting years ahead of us gaming hobbyist!

I like the simplicity of hanhelds even given a choice between a free $3000 powerful gaming laptop and an Aya neo 2s will still pick the 2s but that is just me

@@StrangerealStudios Thank you so much! I really enjoy the ROG Flow line and I do not mind the proprietary XG Mobiles. I have one at home and one I use outdoors. If the 2023 RTX 4090 goes down in price I may pick that one up too.

@@The_Theist_Scientist I do agree. The simplicity of the handheld is really awesome. I love busting out for a quick game on the ROG Ally or to use in my physics labs. There is something unique about wearing the Z13 Acronym in messenger style and just popping open quickly on a table that makes it jaw dropping. These handhelds would benefit getting a similad treatment and boost in ram (Z13 acronym model is the only one sporting 32GB ram in its Z13 line).

32gb-64gb versions would be a must for the next gens, otherwise I wouldn't even bother!

Do you mean your using a e-gpu enclosure with the RTX 4070? If so, what enclosure are you using? I have a couple of gpu's lying around!

@Longjumping-War2484 I actually returned the 4070 and got a 4070 super. I'm using a razer core x for the enclosure. The setup has been working great for me, but I probably still play handheld more often than not.

I'm not into tech.But can I purchase it for my college purposes like coding.And to develop skills like editing.Can I go for it?

@@Velix.edit. It's definitely powerful enough for those tasks but I'd get a mouse and keyboard.

HP Legion Victus Go 😉 I work security overnight and have both a laptop and a Go. I’m loving the Go, even though windows is finicky with touch and a small screen it’s amazing. In your shoes, if I could only game on lunch and wanted a quick game, I’d go do the Go as a laptop is slightly more cumbersome and not as compact. As well you don’t want to sit at a desk at home after work, a laptop obviously gets warmer on the legs. I set this little guy aside and use a controller, 3D printed V looking middle connection to make it into a full detached controller or use a dual sense. It’s nice having that victus power though and larger screen less finicky windows. Hence why I’m undecided between my Asus TuF A16 or my LLGo Hopefully you know your laptops and the Victus doesn’t have a 50 at the end of the card name I’ve played every high end game on this I can think of, literally anywhere in my city and the country, home, work and friends place or car use on wifi and on 5G. It holds up without lag and graphics are wild. But yet I still feel overkill enjoyment after switching to my laptop. Sorry it was a long read. No worries if you didn’t 😅 Let us know what you decided!

@@RandomGuyComments I decided to wait because I heard of Legion Go 2. Thank you so much for your input!

Ofcourse

Considering it's a mobile 1060 it's definitely faster. Had it been a desktop it would have been a different case. The one scenario where you would likely have better performance on your laptop would be memory limited scenarios. Because the 780M uses system memory and you have to allocate a certain amount to it in bios that means that your windows effectively is limited to 13 GB at most. So if you run into a memory capacity based bottleneck then sure. But then again the memory type is a LOT faster especially on the legion go at 7500 MT/s whereas at least the model of Helios 300 I was able to find with that combination of CPU and GPU is running at 2666 MT/s.

Aside from mobile gaming can you use it as a PC?

yes, just dock it and it will be just like any windows desktop pc.@@handyhistorian

​@@handyhistorian it has windows 11. Connect it to a monitor and mouse and keyboard and you can use it as a PC.

Sure, but that's not the point if handheld PCs. I have a gaming laptop that draws 330 watt, and I almost cut the tine I spent using it in half, ever since I got the steamdeck and then the Ally. Now, since I bought the Go, I have not even turned it on once. Like he's saying in the vid, these devices are the future of mobile pc gaming, not laptops.

He got the one with more memory

@@JR-lv3xg that one is 750. I guess 750 plus tax could make it 800 but then the $600 laptop is more like $650. It's odd framing that makes it look like the go is a full $200 more expensive when it really isn't.

I meant no sain person needs both systems. A little overkill.

"I'm not keeping both" and "I'm not keeping either" are two entirely different things, OP

Dude he just meant he's not keeping both, insinuating he will only have one after said time of "much longer" has elapsed and was asking for input on which of the "both" systems he should keep.

It is still extremely expensive

It’s helpful actually. I’m an expat and stuck in this dilemma to which I wanna buy

@@nurddiii of course legion go because not only for games you can do too many things with it
