Speaking about things that are both beneficial and detrimental, let’s talk about the Legion Go’s controllers. I know that’s a selling point for PC players, but average folks who just want to play a game might feel frustrated over the lackluster out-of-the-box performance.

However, it stinks that you have to mess around with both in-console and in-game settings to get decent resolution and frame rates. That’s far far better than what the Nintendo Switch can do. Objectively, being able to play graphically demanding games at 1200p at 45 frames a second on a handheld is extremely impressive. Lowering the resolution to 1,280 x 800p bumped the fps to the mid-70s, but at that resolution, the game looked atrocious on the 8.8-inch display. I had to lower the resolution to 1,920 x 1200 and set the device's TDP to 30W (via settings) to get the game running at an acceptable 30 to 45 fps. Even with the device’s performance mode enabled, the extremely well-optimized Doom Eternal ran at a pitiful 15 to 20 frames per second. I’ll save the details for my full review, but in short, don’t expect the Legion Go to play the best PC games at 2,560 x 1,600 resolution at high framerates. Good (but not great) performanceįrame rate test results Header Cell - Column 0 But as I said, it can make this gaming machine feel like a clunky Windows PC instead. Windows 11 is built for touchscreens so navigating via touch controls is relatively seamless.

Like the ROG Ally, controller support is limited outside of Legion Space - meaning you’ll need to use touch controls to utilize apps, surf the web, install programs and more. The machine’s versatility (which is arguably greater than the Steam Deck which runs on SteamOS), is no doubt a major selling point for those who like installing their own apps and games.īut since this is a Windows 11 machine first and foremost, it can sometimes feel like a clumsy, hard-to-navigate handheld PC instead of an intuitive, streamlined gaming handheld. Heck, you can even connect the Legion Go to the best monitors, the best wireless keyboards and the best mice to use the handheld as an honest-to-goodness PC (provided you have a USB hub with the appropriate ports). And like those two handhelds, Windows 11 is both the Legion Go’s strength and weakness.īecause the Legion Go is effectively a small Windows 11 PC, it’s able to run most Windows-compatible applications. Like the ROG Ally and AyaNeo 2S, the Legion Go runs on Windows 11.
