Bought a Legion Go 2 yesterday! Super excited :D
I just bought a Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, and so far I’m really liking it. The screen is gorgeous, it feels super premium and having a full Windows handheld that can do PC games, mods, emulation, desktop apps, etc. is honestly really cool.
I haven’t properly tested a bunch of games yet, so I’m still very early into figuring out what this thing can actually do.
Most of my testing so far has been Minecraft Java because I like modding it heavily and making it look ridiculously pretty. I’ve been playing around with Fabric, visual mods, shaders, animations, moving foliage, particles all that stuff.
Without shaders it runs great but heavier shaders like Complementary Unbound can drop the FPS a lot more than I expected. I’m plugged in and currently using around 35W SPL / 37W SPPT / 45W FPPT with 10GB UMA.
I know Minecraft Java with shaders can be weirdly demanding, so I’m definitely not using that alone to judge the Go 2. I still need to try actual AAA games, emulation, lighter games, etc. before I really know how I feel about the performance.
I’m curious what other Go 2 Z2 Extreme owners are getting across different games. What settings/TDP/UMA are you using, what games run especially well, and are there any settings I should change right away?
Really enjoying the device so far I’m just in that phase where I keep tweaking everything and trying to figure out where its limits actually are lol.
