r/HandheldGaming

Hello this post is going to be the more cleaned up shorter version of my previous post. So i have a legion go with steamos and windows also a pc with 7800x3d and a 4060ti 16vram and 32ram. 1 am using my legion vere rarely at home about 3 times a month not because its uncomfrotable but because i have my pc. The only times i use my legion are on holidays away from home. I want to get an odin 3 max because i would brina it places and schoo where i have a lot of down time. I tried bringing my legion to school used it a bit and put it back because it felt wrong and btw my backpack looked like a balloon lol. I had an r36s and didnt use it much because it felt cheap and underpowered because i like games from gba(exception), psp, ps2 gamecube, switch era. The only thing stopping me is warrantv and mv dad because of the warrantv. How is ayn support and should i sell my legion or keep it and buy a cheap handheld like the r36s again?(For people saving not to sell it i need a better reason than odin 3 is less powerful)

I have a question. Does Zenless Zone Zero really run at 80–100 FPS on a Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Z2 (non-Extreme) and high graphics settings, as shown in the video?

The reason I'm asking is that I own a Lenovo Legion Go S with 32 GB of RAM and a Z1 Extreme, and in Zenless Zone Zero I usually get around 60 FPS with graphics settings between low and medium. I was also under the impression that the Z2 non-Extreme only offers a slight performance improvement (if any) over the Z1 Extreme, so the performance difference shown in the video seems surprising to me.

According to the video, the device has the following specifications:

Legion Go 2

• CPU: Z2
• GPU: Radeon 780M
• RAM: 16 GB
• SSD: 512 GB
• Running at a high TDP

What confuses me the most is that it supposedly has only 16 GB of RAM and appears to be using the same Radeon 780M iGPU, yet the performance difference looks quite significant.

Can anyone who owns a Legion Go 2 or is familiar with the Z2's performance confirm whether these numbers are realistic, or if there might be something else going on with the setup shown in the video?

Lenovo Legion Go 2 - Zenless Zone Zero They have done really good job!

Standard z2 variant not z2e but still a good sale

Hi everyone,

Very new to the pc gaming side of things. Long time PS guy but with the latest news of no physical discs I am wanting to boycott Sony.

I want to get one of these but I don’t want to drop over $1k on the ally x. I’m thinking that games that have pc ports on steam I will buy and then some other games I’ll have to get emu deck and emulate them. My question is, will it run all the way up to the latest releases such as hogwarts legacy?

For emulating or high powered older games e.g. GTA4, uncharted and god of war 3? Would these play well on the one I’m looking at? (Image attached)

EDIT: this is Australian dollars

After months of reading you guys talking about handhelds, I couldnt resist to finaly get mine.

I am a programmer and I spend many hours sitting at the computer, and I was losing the desire to play video games.

I was looking for a way to separate work from the hobby, and this seems to be the perfect solution.

Now that I can play in a diferent space from where i work i'm excited to see if it reignites my passion for video games. Even thinking about buying a dock for the living room.

I have choose the Legion Go S Z1 E 32GB 1 TB with Windows 11, but I have already change it to Steam OS. Loving the white color.

Thank you all guys for so many tips and knowledge until now, and the journey has just began!!

Hi so i have a legion go z1e which i bought about a year ago and recently ive been using it less and less. Ive beaten games like cyberpunk, doom eternal, undertale, celeste, portal 1 and 2 etc. So my main usecase is when im away from home on a holiday mostly the summer where im at my grandparents. All the other time so about 10 months it sits on my nightstand because ive got a powerful pc right there and its also hooked up to my tv with hdmi for bed gaming so overall im using the legion about 3 times a month. Im dualbooting steamos and windows also set up emudeck, decky and i emulate mostly switch and psp also some gba. Im thinking about selling it because its not really portable like i cant put it in my bag and play on the bus stop after school it fills my whole bag and attracts so much attention you can see how big it is in the photo while something like an odin is way smaller and still very powerful which means i can bring it places. My main concern with selling the go is that on holidays i wont be able to play all the pc games i want not that its a dying need but still a concern btw forgot to mention i play souls games too. I had an r36s and then sold it to my friend because i wasnt using it enough in my opinion and it was too weak for even psp with frameskip and allat. Also whats the warranty gonna be like for the odin 3 because im in the eu and its from china and should i consider the thor tho my priority is comfort and pc games i still value portability. The one other thing i considered was buying a cheap handheld for about 50 to 70 euros and keeping the legion but i already did that with the r36s and turns out i didnt use it much. Someone please tell me your thoughts this has been eating me alive for 3 weeks.

Edit: i know you all say that an ally or ally x is less bulky and keeps my windows games but in practice its almost the same thing. Also i said that AAA pc games dont really matter because first i have a powerful pc and second when you are on commutes you cant really follow a story. I just want something to put in my bag which is already filled with books and have it not take almost any space. The only thing im still worried about is the support from ayn.

When I go on the very bottom or the notification, it instantly gives me this screen. I cant go anywhere and only shutting down the Steam Deck works.

How do I fix this?
