So I have the x20 preordered but will pay when I go to pick it up at Best Buy.
Costco is selling the same chipset with more GB but I need to know is the legion go 2 driver issues really that bad.
I really like that both have OLED screens but and 8.8 size screen from LLG2 is crazy.
LLG2: 1,000-without tax. Xbox rog ally x20: 1:377-with tax.
What does you guys think. Who’s better?
I got the legion go s with the Z1E processor and 16gb of ram used for 340€ with a 512GB SD card and a dock included. It looks brand new and the guy told me he barely used it. I’ve had it for a little over two days now and I can not put it down it’s so nice and everything just works. I can’t see myself gaming on my computer again any time soon
The only con for me right now is the audio quality but I think it can be fixed, and maybe the triggers could be a little better but for the price I paid I can not complain about anything!
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.
Lego 1. 1000p, medium settings. Framegen on. FSR. 25tdp for all power.
If my impression is correct, I am extremely disappointed. I bought both the Legion Go S and the Legion Go 2 and was very happy initially, but after getting tricked like this, I think those will have been my last Lenovo purchases in general.
First release! It’s going to rough around the edges. Looking for all feedback that I can get
No gamebar plugin to start.
No Linux build publicly yet.
Great legion go 1 support, still haven’t tested everything for the legion go 2, so full support will come later, same for legion go s
I have a Legion Go 2 Z2 Extreme with the ComfortGrips to make it more confortable. I do not really have an issue anymore with the ergonomics but it still feels a bit heavy after some time to be honest.
I tried Windows with the Xbox FullScreen Experience and it was terrible.
Switched to SteamOS which is much better but audio and the screen brightness issues (I installed multiple fixes) are a bit annoying still.
If I forget about everything and just play everything is great. Now my question is, is it worth selling my LeGo2 and adding £400-£500 to get the X20 or not really?
With the whole disc to digital, I have a huge library on Xbox app, but my question is, will the Windows with Xbox fullscreen experience be better than on LeGo2 (tried it 2 months ago)?
Have been having the Lego S z1e for a little over a week now. I got it open box (good) from Best Buy . I Love my Switch 2 but I’ve been so impressed with how good this thing runs some of my favorite PC games and some games I’ve been wanting to start.
A week ago I was casually looking at the Legion Go 2 prices on ebay, just for curiosity. I saved some listings to follow and today this listing (Go 2 32gb, zen 2 not extreme) was ending in 30 minutes, close to USD 900.
I was expecting that the price would increase a little more, but nothing. So 30 seconds to finish I decided to throw a bid just for fun, USD 906, I genuinely didn't expect to win but I won 😅
I think it was a good deal, but would like to have some support to fight my buyer remorse lol. What do you guys think?
How do i make colors pop, vibrant? I have steam os turn em to maximum possible, aswell as vibrantdeck plugin set to maximum. Still nothing. Lowered gamma a little but that only makes it darker or whiter. Anyone knows a way around?
TL;DR: Solved the Legion Go SSD heat soak without dremeling the backplate or buying bulky 3D-printed shells. Repurposed vintage gold heatsinks from a dead 2006 Gigabyte LGA775 board for the internal SSD & external 2TB enclosure, paired with a custom silent desk blower. Under a sustained 30W TDP load in heavy games: internal SSD stays at 60°C–62°C (peaked at 87°C stock!), external 2TB sits at 48°C (NAND at 33°C), with total noise at 42 dB. Total cost: $0.00.
There is an accessible factory opening right above the 2242 SSD controller beneath the kickstand hinge:
To prevent ambient heat soak on the desk, I modded a cheap Ali desk fan:
Old hardware scraps + basic airflow physics beat noisy, expensive clip-on mods every single day. Happy to answer questions in the comments!
Estou pensando 🤔 em comprar um legion go z1 mas não sei se ainda está valendo tanto assim apena ter esse aparelho, já que temos o legion go 2.
Outro ponto e que fico na divida se os jogos são realmente otimizados e rodam realmente bem, pois estou considerando ter um nitendo 2, mas como preço dele está bem próximo de um legion go z1 eu fiquei bastante curioso sobre o desempenho do legion go z1.
No YouTube vejo bastante conteúdo de testes no legion mas não me passa a confiança que essas pessoas estão dispostas a jogar do início ao fim de um jogo nesse aparelho como opção única sabe, ou seja não me parece uma opinião de usuário, Me parece algo superficial que você faz um teste de 20min e depois diz olha está incrível e pronto.
Minha atenção está grandemente voltado para o legion já que o Nintendo 2 está recebendo jogos capados devido a seu processador e alguns travados a 30 dps ainda, então o legion go z1 vem me chamando a atenção pra jogar jogos novos e mais pesados que com absoluta certeza vão rodar com folga em comparação com o nitendo 2, e alguns desses são red dead 2 , monster Hunter wilds e Monster Hunter world e por aí vai.
Será que alguém ainda usa ele e sabe me dizer como está o seu desempenho nos dias atuais ?
Hi all!
I’m looking for a second hand legion go s. I know that z1extreme is better than z2go when they have the same amount of ram, but what about z2go 32gb ram vs z1e 16gb ram?
In any case, I plan to use steam os.
I just installed the new driver that our friend @dontdomuch (sorry bro I don’t know how to tag you here) did for the Legion go users and everything was automatically and it works like a charm!
I have the og legion go, you guys need to read everything on the GitHub to understand if it will work on your device.
I just would like to share this for more people. Again, this is not my work but I’m really happy with it!
Hey guys just a quick question is this normal to be using 20gb of RAM? I have had pcs that i have had this much ram installed never even got close to this- im a new owner and really confused as to why this is happening i dont have anything running in the background just rdr2
Bought one second hand the other day. Does anyone know why this is? Are my controllers defective?
Edit: switching to Beta worked!!! Thank you!
Has anybody put steam OS on their legion Go 2? If so, how is your experience using the controllers wirelessly while detached? I want to covert mine to steam OS because windows just sucks at portable gaming and especially while using a controller. I don’t play many titles with Anti cheat anyways. Are there any other issues you’ve had while or after switching to steam OS? I know that they are supposedly coming out with a steam os version but seems like it’s been forgotten about. I have the Z2E with 32gb of ram if that matters
I recentally checked stock on the go 2 Z1 extreme 1tb ssd they are now £1949, that is brutal.
