FYI: There's already an official BIOS update that lets you choose 6GB of VRAM.

I’ve got to be honest from the start of this video. It sounded like a hate fest. Rather than a review. You could tell from the first 30 seconds you didn’t like the thing.

You know the analog stick tops come off? Makes it more comfortable in verticle mouse mode. You can also dual boot Windows 11 and SteamOS btw. Nobody talks about these things when reviewing the product.

Didn't smell it after getting it out of the packing, not a true gamer (I'm joking, not a lot of people smell their new devices or games).

This thing is a beast and love it. Lets hope lenovo sees what they got here and make this thing perfect

Really excited to see many good options for handheld computing! Sick and tired of not being able to game even with the Asus G14 on planes because their AC outlets are not able to output enough wattage for the charger! Let's see if the Legion Go can fill that gap in gaming time!!!

I have a 4090/13900k setup with spacial surround sound and for some dame reason i want this thing so damn bad. Such a cool piece of tech.

Thanks for the indepth review hope to see more for the Go

This was awesome, helpful and quick! My favorite!

I would be interested to see you do a Legion Go vs ROG Ally vs Steam Deck comparison. It's a lot of work but I know you like handhelds and would like to know you're thoughts on it.

Excellent rundown on this device!

Its Quiet - 10 watts Balanced - 15 watts and Perf 20 watts. I use msi afterburner with hwinfo to see wattage while testing. The custom tdp slider is also pretty broken

it could be such a great overall gaming setup for those who willing to exercise neck strength with VR capabilities. Its already have controllers with gyro and enough high res screen

Great walkthrough. Thks. Bet that you'll have to do this walkthrough again after the dozen or so software fixes. Lol.

Great video. Was concerned about the legion but if I just set those few settings to get the best fps then I think it’ll have better performance than the rog ally from other vids I’ve seen.

thank you for that professional explanation.

I'm petitioning our marketing team to officially trademark "the LEG box"

Lenovo has a beta bios update out now that gives you the option for 6gb of vram. I updated mine to that last night, and it definitely helped Forza Motorsport run smoother.

Coming from Consol gaming to this being my first handheld PC-based gaming device. You mentioned the Xbox cloud-based app running through Lenovo legion space having all kinds of issues. Can I simply run the Xbox app by itself straight from the windows desktop?

so RSR also only works when using a lower resolution right? also how does it work with legion space lowering the resolution, will it scale that resolution down, or is that just a setting for just the screen being made smaller.

A fingerprints wipedown before the B roll shots was desperately needed lol. Good vid tho

Hi, where did you get the animated wallpaper?

I'm curious if Lenovo will eventually ship a variant with more memory, I'm also curious who is going to mod the device for more memory first. Implementations like this is why I kinda wish m.2's F key caught on, the reserved key or a future memory interface, and why I wish the CAMM connector would come soon but also revised to have a better layout to minimize the connector; dual-sided is the way to go, and side 1 can easily be tucked under the module onto the mother PCB itself. Though we'll probably have to wait for a v2 in a year or two for this. I like the idea of the right controller, but I don't like the implementation, it should be a cohesive controller no matter which mode, not a 'turn the controller 90° and lose most of the functionality' solution. Imagine if the mouse sensor was just on the bottom with no change in grip, where all of the controller functionality was still available, all of the M buttons could also be redistributed into Y buttons where you could instead have three Y buttons per side; if you don't like the idea of six back buttons, the concept of what Razer (and other third parties, Flydigi has done it before, not sure who else has) does with extra shoulder buttons is a nice idea, having buttons on the inside of the shoulders, I just wish someone would find a more proper implementation of them to where they're lateral buttons rather than depressing into the body of the device. it just feels like someone at Lenovo wanted a mouse, so they got the hardware team to slap something together, and that solution becomes a controller OR mouse in one body solution rather than controller AND mouse. And I get it, the molding and aesthetics of the device don't really allow for an AND solution, but I wish they just put a bit more effort into doing it this way so that there wasn't any compromise; this kind of solution could also lead to symmetric controllers which also means a left handed mouse option, or dual mice rather than dual stick and just relegate the sticks to some tertiary function. Again, hopefully a v2 implements this.

Whatever you do don't order this product directly from Lenovo they're shipping restrictions are so ridiculous you're never going to receive the package unless you're retired or get lucky.

do you have to do the graphics driver update AFTER the bios update? i followed your guide for the amd driver but that conflicts with the bios update.

Hi Brett, since you were living in South Africa for a while, I would please like to ask if you know, if the Legion GO will be shipping to South Africa? Lenovo South Africa doesn't have a proper "Ticket Submission system", especially not for products listed on their website. I am considering to get a Legion GO instead of an Asus ROG Ally, since it seems like the overall better device, except for the Software issues that still need to be ironed out.

“How to set up the Go for gaming” proceeds to do an unboxing and full review….cmon now.

Am going to get it I already have a steam but I need this

Thank You, this was helpful

I'd love one of these but I still think the next best handheld device is still coming and I don't want to rush in and get buyers remorse. The rog ally was the one I've been most interested in but so many cool looking ones keep coming out so I'll wait a bit and see how things go. Loving the large amount of content from UFD recently

Does anyone know what settings need to be changed so games on steam come up completely full screen? The taskbar for every game is showing please help

Hey great video. Just changed the UMA Frame buffer size and ul be pleased to know they do now have both a 6gb option and an auto. I just put mines to auto. Gonna give that a whirl.

My opinion is not gonna be super popular here but. I just feel the handheld consoles are at a start, kinda just the beginning of the potential. I think that in the upcoming future, we can expect a few new devices that will not force us to compromise. So far Steamdeck, Rog ally and Legion GO being many compromises. So today, I just went with the cheapest option - Steamdeck - as an introduction the the handhelds (maybe it is not even for me) and when this perfect device comes (I think it will bw pretty soon), that is when I switch.

TB5 and I would be sold. then you can have nice gaming on the road, or where even and come home to dock into egpu. I know it might be a little iffy with AMD and TB5 but will have to wait and see. I coudl see these with ThunderBolt 5 becomming more mainstream hopefully end of next year

can you use an external monitor with this? if yes how i do set that up thatds what i wanna know

A new LEG ION.

It seems cool but its just to experience for what it is i prefer gaming on my 4k Oled, i tried the steam deck but the screen was to small for me to enjoy it much. The legion go has a big screen but it just doesn't do enough for me to drop that amount of money on it. In a few gens of this tech maybe it will perform well enough to be worth it

I thought it was already set up for gaming. Because its sold and advertised as a GAMING HANDHELD

The infamous LEG box lol

i believe there s a bios update with 6g vram

is the ram on this device soldred?

With the new update there’s not only 6gpu but also there’s an auto option do you recommend the auto?

the d pad is not usable at all. i mean u can use it but it feels like when pressing it , it doesnt feel like u press anything

Bought the Legion Go. Surprised there wasn't an option to buy the PC with 32GB Ram.

The 3D screen saver, where did you get that from, its dope

What happened to the t's in button?

I got mine today, and when I went to the cloud gaming section of the legion software it launched the xbox app, so I luckily didn't have to deal with that weird double input issue. One thing I immediately ran into was the lack of an xbox or similar button. Will have to find out how to bind that somewhere

I have issues when going on xbox app I downloaded a game and it gives a error message

Can you give us the most optimized configuration for Starfield?

Performanc e

It’s good they let use remap to the face buttons but to not allow us to remap to m/kb buttons is a huge oversight that should be addressed

Do you recommend any good grips for it

I'm hesitating between Windows, Linux or Android device. I would like mainly playing emulated games until Nintendo Switch. There is no device till now that can run the latest zelda totk at 60fps. I'll wait til Snap dragen gen 8 3rd generation will come out and will make my decision. Any advises are welcome

If i get something like this for Christmas, im immediately booting it from my revios 10 usb, i hate bloatware.

I'm curious about the battery life compared to the Steam Deck and other handhelds. I have an Aokzoe A1 Pro and it has OK battery life. At 1280x800, I find that the battery lasts about 30% longer than the Steam Deck. Although the battery is a bit more than 50% bigger than the Deck.

I have an lcd SD which I love because I don’t know much about computers and settings. Steam os has just been very easy for me even tho some games do require some setting changes to run more smoothly but what I want is to be able to also play my Xbox while the fam occupies the tv most of the time. I do have xbplay which I can play my Xbox but it’s a terrible experience and I’d like something that I can do all. Play steam games, Xbox, PlayStation etc. and what is the main attraction for me on this legion is the big screen. I was debating getting the oled SD but am very torn if I want to venture into gaming laptop, legion go or just get the oled steamdeck. For 700-800 bucks it’s hard to pick the right device. With the legion, is it really a lot of adjusting and tinkering?

how about trying to run the following, hotshot racing, super lucky tales, ori games and sonic transformed racing, then tell me what you think

The joystick controls are horribly delayed/ non existing until you move it to a certain point.

So do you think it's better than the Rog Ally?

Sorry how you change rgb colors to giostick in which settings you go?

Considering custom mode is currently bugged. It should improve even more once its fixed.

The legion go is hideous 😂 but mine will arrive this Thursday 😅

The other day the toggles on my Lenovo legion go flashed red (instead of green) and I remember I was holding it awkwardly and it may have been because of me accidentally holding tje volume and power button(I don’t know) help?!?!😊

how do you put emulation on and where to get games pls ?

does the steam app work well with the controlls?

Before release i heard it features battery bypass so when plugged in it runs off of ac preserving the battery but asking around i cant find this answer i want to get one and my intended use is long game sessions for travel roadtrips and visiting inlaws i want make sure i dont ruin the battery by keeping it plugged in all the time.

How do I go full screen This is annoying

Hi can you test Sonic Frontiers Steam? I have my Lenovo Legion Go, all my games work except Sonic Frontiers any advice?

How do you remap the buttons?

Watching this vid on my steam deck waiting happily on steam deck 2 even if it takes 2-3years I dont care. but if Steam makes an official steamOS on different device I might get the legion Go.

RSR turns itself off as soon as I exit that menu. Any advice?

oh thankgod i was about to buy a ps5 because ps4 cant run cyberpunk 2077 very well and then i found this and its much cheaper and more versatile

I hope this is the beginning of all videogame controllers having a mouse wheel. I've wanted a mouse wheel on the Xbox controller ever since I first saw the thing. "Hey, it's a console made by Microsoft... Why don't consoles have a mouse wheel?"

Okay, but how do I pull up the keyboard?

hello ! can someone explains me how does RSR works with FSR ? Is it incompatible ? ty

This is the one... although steam deck has the absolute best control configuration and two track pads

So do you have to download games to the device if I want to play ps5 games? And I have to be on WiFi? Like can I play this on the go?

Mhm I clicked "Start Fresh" and it still downloaded a back-up from several years ago...

i was supprised myself with no bloatware apps, lol. micro gotten worse. you can disable secure boot by going to bios. what about linux? can you do a tutorial on it?

Great one can play all Xbox games one's downloaded and not only via GP cloud.

Im stuck trying to figure out how to get the controller to be recognized in non-steam/xbox games

In gaming the dead zone in the analogs it’s horrible! I can’t play fps games! I’m starting to get regret of buying the legion go!

That is a pet peeve of mine as well... Performanc e How difficult would it have been to make it? Perfor mance Come on now Lenovo.

Step 2: Take it or send it to a repair shop to give it a 32GB RAM upgrade like some have done to the steam deck. 32GB of RAM would allow you to keep it at 8GB all of the time 🤷

this is global version or official? or wait lenovo legion go 2?

Can you review a lenovo glasses?

Waiting for am official steamos release for this guy and some nice peojects to get the controls all working, should be lovely. Honestly they did it right by copying valves steamdeck controls then doing just enough yo take the next step. But windows 🤢🤢

"Performanc with a lower e" LOL

Gonna wait for the rog ally 2 I guess

battery life?

Do you think No-VRR is a deal breaker?

How to setup for gaming: Wait until Lenovo fixes Legion Space. End of Video.

Do you need to have a PC to play on the Lenovo Legion go ?

looks cool but i still love my deck

Can i run games from epic store and steam store on this device?

Can you tell us if this machine could replace a laptop?

Thing has more fingerprints than FBI

All the useless windows 11 bloatware / spyware such fun. Press what to do what 😂 Sounds a nightmare....

This is a nice device, but I already have a Steam Deck which I think it's good enough for me.
