@Dave2D9 months ago This is arguably the coolest piece of tech i' ve seen this year!

@realjabrillo098 months ago Thank you so much valve for steam deck! Now everyone can finally see a lot of handheld pc in the market at reasonable price! 1224

@pahnazd8 months ago A big brand using hall effect sensors. Finally! Hopefully this is marks a beginning of a shift in the industry as a whole. 150
@

@boozledbamboozeler38228 months ago I really hope this becomes a trend and we get more and more high end hand helds with emulation and first party games. Im never home so these are a godsend for me. 267

@pavelshiklomanov74998 months ago Wow. I am loving this handheld pc segment just really heating up! Every review ive seen shows something unique every manufacturer implements. One day, all the best parts will eventually culminate to one fantastic device! 212

@

@assafweiss80788 months ago The mouse thing with the controller is a nice touch. They should use magnet in the base like you mentioned, but instead of using a switch, the controller should automatically detect the magnet and switch to the mouse mode. 115

@bilalentilka8 months ago I am amazed by your skill of reviewing so naturally in one take! And the hardware details in the end make much more sense. 1
@

@izrael_gaming8 months ago I was going to buy the rog. But the design of this device is so innovative and useful as well! Mind changed. 79
@

@MarkJohnson-ev2jw8 months ago Can we eventually get a more in depth review of the legion go? Would like to see tests on thermals, any stress issues on the unit (like the rog sd card slot issue) and other bench marks compared to other hand helds. 8
@

@Theamz8 months ago Watching these videos makes me realize just how big of a success the steam deck is. I am glad i own a steam deck and love it. 31
@

@iLaCore8 months ago I couldnt decide if i should wait for the legion go and there where some things i couldnt find anything about elsewhere. Your video pretty much answered all of the questions i had. Thank you!
@

@YuasBirds9 months ago That controller to mouse thing is almost revolutionary, what an amazing idea. Whoever at lenovo came up with that needs a huge bonus at the very least. 1488
@

@PacisJusticia8 months ago In a few years these handheld pcs are going to be insane. The trajectories of vr, ar, handhelds, wearables, flexible peripherals, etc. Are going to come together into something so incredible we' re not even ready. L. 3
@

@colmanbaldwinson90918 months ago How is this device for watching media and browsing the internet? Is the mouse pad on the right side accurate enough? I dont have a laptop and was considering this as i currently do everything on my phone.
@

@Reulorics8 months ago Super happy to see a touchpad. I love the ones on steam deck for browsing and stuff and radial menus in games. And that mouse bit is crazy. I want this so bad. 2
@

@javier75996 months ago Ordered mine already. This machine is a beast! Forget all the other handhelds, if you bought them, sale' em, the fps mode alone is a revolution and makes it worth using as a daily driver. 1
@

@christopherbohling57198 months ago Maybe i missed something in the video, but does this have variable refresh rate?
also, i feel like i wouldn' t have enough buttons in fps mode.
@

@trizkial75929 months ago I hope this product succeeds. Love seeing engineers think outside of the box but stay within reason. 888
@

@MichaelSimmsArehtyKitnA8 months ago That was a very good impartial and fair review and the tear down at the end was interesting. It looks so much like a legion laptop inside, very slick!
@

@roe__jogan8 months ago The fps mode seems ok but how would you jump? Or switch guns? Or crouch? Or throw a grenade? 1
@

@aaron-fz8fn8 months ago So how exactly does the mouse fps mode work? Is it simulating controller input or is it just straight up mouse input? I see this being a big issue in games . ...Expand
@

@smackshustla6 months ago I have 2 questions; can you connect a controller to this device? And is this device more powerful than the switch oled?
@

@enj0ytheride6 months ago Do any of the handhelds have gyro aiming? I played doom eternal on the switch with gyro aiming and it worked really well.
@

@animademachina27479 months ago Steam started an incredible handheld revolution and im all for it, ive got to get one of these if only for that mouse technology its fantastic. 521
@

@lao_mengrai6 months ago Have you tried shooting with it using " xreal air 2 pro" glasses? How about the speaker performance?
thanks.
@

@BLT77 months ago Does the legion go recognize the controller as a standard xinput, or is it something proprietary?
@

@jayiix8 months ago I' m getting this. I have a lenovo laptop and tablet. Lenovo will forever have my interest. Well reviewed product. Also i subbed. Thank you for the detailed review. Keep it up. Liked also. 1

@hymhymhym7 months ago Hi davd2d, could we connect lenovo legion go to a computer monitor for playing games? If we could, what is the interface and cable to be used? Thanks.
@

@rubencruz01067 months ago But the input in the game is a mouse and keyboard or gamepad? For example in fps games would you get the aim assist of s normal controller?

@anantbedi56278 months ago I had a psp when i was young.
pretty excited to see things like this resurface.
@

@ayk31446 months ago Im looking for one that is the best at running retail wow. Most do classic wow well but retail wow is a lot more demanding, any.

@jjcps38 months ago Amazing! But i dislike the click noises! Do the rest of the buttons are noisy as well or just the d pad?
which one would you say has less noisy controllers, this or the steam deck?

@wrathtard14287 months ago Did you tryit isnt good on the ally and i miss it from the deck.
@

@damienlobb859 months ago I love how amd are pushing for the handheld market and making it accessible to the overall users. Kinda nice to see. I knew the z1 would eventually be available to other oem' s outside of asus. Really cool to see! 284
