I spent $749 on this... did I make a mistake?!

NO you didn't waste your money, you'd be surprised at the Legion Go's capabilities, but first you MUST make sure to make some important changes to your bios settings before you get into load heavy titles, to do so first press your power button when the device is off, then hold volume up, then choose bios settings, now that you're in the bios set up screen at bottom right of screen choose more settings then choose configuration, then change UMA frame buffer size to 8G, make sure maximum memory data clock speed is set to 7500 MT/S then make sure you have enabled SMT mode (multithreading mode) and lastly set you core number to 8, games will run way better because out of the box it is not set this way and you do not get its full capabilities until you make the necessary settings changes.

Big note. Be ready to run games at 800p, but use integer scaling. It is awesome!

AWE MAN!!! my prayers were answered. A Jay review of the Legion Go. I’ve had mine for a few months, huge learning curve with smaller hands

I LOVE my Steam Deck, it's been a great purchase since like 2 years ago (wow, think it's been that long). It's great. I am glad we're seeing so many getting into this so we can see more competition and good improvements and prices for us all.

Reminds me of when I got a Gameboy Advanced SP for christmas as a kid. It was amazing because the screen was actually back lit, so you didn't have to play in light. Love seeing how things have evolved over the years

Got mine last week there are some things that I wish could be improved but other than that I love this thing hopefully Phil will too. I'm just happy to see someone who isn't complaining about the size or the weight.

Steam Deck single handedly got me to play on a "Gaming Console" for my first time since the Super Nintendo, AND, got me to ditch windows entirely and switch to Linux. I still do a TON of gaming on my (now Linux) desktop, but I use my Steam Deck a lot for more casual feeling games also.

I swear y'all need to treat Phil's reviews as a special segment called Phil-ing In.

I have been loving my Legion go so far. Strong enough to emulate CPU heavy stuff, and even handles 1080p decently. I've been doing a lot of Steam streaming to it for harder to run games from my main Rig too. Software updates are slow though, and I'd say the screen's minimum brightness is still quite high. Definitely interested in trying Bazzite on it to get thay sweet sweet sleep functionality.

Recently, I picked up a Steam Deck OLED 1TB for my birthday. I have say, that thing is AWESOME. It has officially become my favorite way to play my Steam games. I just feel bad for my gaming PC, because I’ve been using the Steam Deck so much more. I’d be curious to see how the Lenovo Legion Go compares to the ASUS ROG Ally.

That world of warships ad was so smooth, nice job to the editors. That arm fold into the reimagining of Jay was amazing

I had wanted a smaller laptop, which could connect to an eGPU for a full gaming vr experience, and overall replace my laptop and desktop. I saw the gpd win max 2, got the 7840u, and it has brought me back to mobile gaming, whilst replacing all my other devices. It isn't the best hand held, but if you want one do everything device it is amazing, love it 😍

I'm surprised he didn't jump on Steam Deck OLED

Thanks for being human during all your videos.

You can 3d print the controller attachments. Many different variations

No you didn't waste your money. The Lenovo Legion Go is awesome. But so are the other PC handhelds. It's all about preference.

I had Legion Go since it launched in 2023. I chose this one, because it also works as a Windows/Android (Bluestacks) tablet, laptop and desktop PC. It also have 2 x USB 4.0 USB-C ports, support for generic eGPU etc. With cheap dock you can also connect it to a TV and Monitor.

I got myself the GPD Win4 6800u 1TB/32GB and I love it. It has a keyboard so when I play MMOs I can still type to my friends/guild. I definitely use it more than I originally thought I would, I like to watch sports or movies while doing mind numbing grinding in some games so it works great. I can be "with the family" and still enjoy my games. Hope you love it!

Have one. Love it. So immersive! I swapped my 1tb for a 2tb and added a 960GB microsd that houses a ton of emulators!

Great vid. I love when ypu guys are just fooling around with tech and having fun.
