    So this or steam deck?

    Both can run all the same games right?

    • S2 on 18/11/2024 - 10:41

      Steam Deck is Linux based while Legion Go is Windows based.
      Legion can play far more games than the Steam Deck can.
      In another post *on this Legion Go device, conemaskerk *stated they "Had one and returned it. The awful software ruined the experience for me and driver updates were non existent. I would avoid at all costs."
      I too am struggling with the decision on which device to buy.

        TBH Windows is the Achilles heel of these devices. If your game library can run on SteamOS, then you'll get a significantly better experience with it. As to whether or not it runs properly on the Legion Go, I couldn't say.

        Have both a Steam Deck and an Ally Z1E. The Steam Deck is what I use to game, and the Ally is what I use to connect to a monitor and run Fusion360.

      • lew380 on 18/11/2024 - 15:16

        The software is fine, it's not great but it gets the job done. Tbh, I ignore the software and just use it when I need to change some settings, it's windows, launch steam and play games.

        My friend has the steam deck, a lot harder to use Linux if your unfamiliar with it and the incompatibility problems. And the smaller screen and worst performance.

      The fact that you can run Bazzite OS on this and you basically have a much bigger steam deck make it very appealing IMO - as long as you weren't wanting an OLED SD because this isn't OLED. I have a mate who loves his.

    • Stacks on 18/11/2024 - 10:55

      I have a legion, it works great and I can't fault it.

      I've seen comments about awful software and such but not sure what the issue is. It runs windows, everyone knows what windows is. You open a game and it plays with no messing around with Configs because it runs windows…..

    • Caped Baldy on 18/11/2024 - 11:08

      I was in JB and saw the Asus Ally and Legion Go. The screen is noticeably larger and a 16:10 aspect ration which helped the screen up nicely and looked really good to me. It might be heavy for extended periods.

      I jumped on the Asus Ally deal from last week for $730. Hoping it's the z1 extreme otherwise I'll return it..

    • dottjt on 18/11/2024 - 11:31

      What I personally did was buy a 2nd hand steam deck at a cheap price. ($400 for a 512GB LCD model about a week ago)

      The main advantage with this is you'll be able to easily sell it for the same price if you feel it's not for you.

      The main thing I don't like about it is that the screen isn't OLED. It's very, very noticeable in dark games.

      Literally have no complaints about anything else, performance etc.

    • airzone on 18/11/2024 - 11:32

      I have both an Ally Z1E and a Steam Deck. It should be noted that Windows is like a boat anchor on these devices and has a bunch of overhead (especially RAM usage) that degrades the experience. There are a lot of games that will not run or are glitchy on the SD because of the Linux compatibility.
      Ally looks and feels like a small laptop with a skin over the top of it. SD behaves much more like a Nintendo Switch.

    • scix on 18/11/2024 - 13:15

      The Lenovo screen is on balance worse than the Deck too. IPS @144hz vs OLED @ 90hz. Both aren't going to be reaching those refresh rates most of the time anyway, unless you are streaming.

      Assuming you are buying the Deck OLED model, as the stock Deck display is pretty awful.

        Although at last, linux drivers have caught up enough to compete (releatively) with there windows counterparts, the game developers support and extended enhancements/optimizations for windows is what still makes windows a better platform for gaming.

        However having said that, the few games I buy now, are all natively supported on linux. And my retro gaming is all supported heavily on linux.

        So I dual boot my pc into windows only when I am playing a game (via xbox live pass or whatever the (profanity) they call it these days).

        However 90% of my boot ups are in linux.

        It just comes down to people buying games for linux will increase the support for linux games been better supported.

        For this reason alone, I'm looking at the steam deck. But, tbh I do like the ally x more.

        EDIT: Whoops, responded to the wrong comment.

    • 9hundred on 18/11/2024 - 14:12

      I would love to use Linux, but all the games are on Windows, so we need Windows.

      • toliman on 18/11/2024 - 14:39
        +2

        You can install bazzite which runs Steam Deck as an OS. You won't see some games that run EAC/Denuvo, but those are highlighted by Steam Deck compatibility.

        You can use the steam store filters to show which games in your library will/won't work.

        There's been great strides with Proton/Wine for game emulation on Linux, enough that most games below the AAA are fine on Steam Deck, and a lot above the AAA line too, i.e. Ubisoft/EA/Activision. Dual booting is often easy to switch with a reboot, video guides show the details on install and any loss/problems.

        • 9hundred on 18/11/2024 - 14:42

          hmmm yeah I'm sure it's getting better, but most people don't want to mess around with dual booting, wine, and proton layers just to play what they want. I love Linux for the simplicity, but I still need Windows for most things arrrrrgh!!!!!

          • toliman on 18/11/2024 - 15:02
            +3

            @9hundred: Really depends on your gaming vs work balance. I can run Stremio and Steam, CEMU, etc. There is very little to configure in Steam Deck to get games to run. If you haven't seen bazzite, check a video review on the Legion Go so you can see side-by-side boot/game benchmarks.

            I have a phone for most media, and other tablets for reading, scrolling, etc. I do have dual-boot. I just don't think i've switched back that often, as I don't need to. 90% of games i'd want to play are couch games or short-run / distraction games, sic.

            Once Bazzite is installed, it boots right into Steam Deck. You don't see linux again until there's an update. It boots straight into games in ~20-40 seconds from power off, and resumes in about 2-10 seconds.

            The advantage of Bazzite is the SteamOS and Steam Deck functionality i.e. sleep/resume and the shader preloading that helps with avoiding stutter.

            I looked at the reviews and features before jumping in, but the advantages outweigh the issues i.e. losing AMD FSR3 and frame generation (sic) on a handful of games vs sleep/resume and fast boot. and having to enter in the PIN to unlock windows every time you put it down and pick it up.

      • Minimalism on 18/11/2024 - 16:01

        So I dual boot my pc into windows only when I am playing a game (via xbox live pass or whatever the (profanity) they call it these days).

        I would like to agree with whoever said that the overhead of windows is a major drag of an anchor on system resources for things like these protable pc's. And that linux is waaaay better for it. Again, it comes down to specific game optimzations and unfortunately, linux isn't as well loved by developers as windows.

      I bought a Steam Deck last Xmas, and it's been bloody fantastic!

      You can check your library's compatibility on ProtonDB before biting the bullet. I don't play many triple-A titles, so I don't know how well supported most are. I know from using my desktop Linux machine, that most COD titles don't work on Linux.

      I play Diablo 4 each season, and I haven't had any issues (except for some frame-dropping which is a common issue on all machines since the DLC launched), and I just read last week that Baldurs Gate 3 celebrated 17 cumulative hours played on Steam Decks.

      The general rule I've seen is, if the game is made with Unreal 5, Godot, or even Unity, then the game should either run natively, or cooperate nicely with Proton's Wine configuration.

      • alcadive on 20/11/2024 - 02:07

        17 cumulative hours

        Damn that’s crazy.

        • toliman on 20/11/2024 - 08:54

          It's meant to be 17 million , but it's way more fun as it is, given the hype.

          Turn-based / strategy games (pokemon, civ 6, etc) does well on a casual handheld / phone format as long as the visuals are compelling. It helped sell a ton of Nintendo Switches in the day. Mostly because you could play for 10-20 minutes on a train/bus, put it on pause, come back in 5 hours, etc.

    How is the touch pad on this compared to the Steam Deck? It's really the only reason I would stick to Steam Deck as it helps me stream my big computer to my Steam Deck and switch from mouse to gamepad.

          Maybe they fixed the T&Cs between your post and now but it now says "Eligibility. This offer is available to all eBay Plus members."

          As for SNSM11, I was able to use it without a Plus account.

          My best guess is the T&Cs are weird at the moment and we shouldn't rely on them too much for now.

      The only way I can see you doing this is at checkout:

      • Change the delivery address in checkout to one in a permitted area (e.g. Sydney).
      • Choose Click & Collect instead of Postage, and then enter a relevant postcode (e.g. 2609).
      • Choose a Bing Lee store in your area with stock. (The Belconnen store is out of stock, but there appears to be stock at the Fyshwick store.)

      I suspect the issue with this approach is that any tax invoices may use this delivery address, rather than the billing address.

    How easy is it to play Epic and GOG store games off the Go?

    As we all know epic and gog give away free games weekly and I would like to play them and wondering if the Legion Go can do this with ease?

    Also, how does it go playing Fortnite? My Mrs currently plays it on her Switch and it’s a bad experience compared to my daughter who plays on the Xbox series S and me on the PS5

    • toliman on 18/11/2024 - 14:45

      Should be the same performance spec as the RoG Ally X. As long as you open up the UMA or VRAM split to 4 GB, it should be good. There's often some performance differences between 4GB and 6GB, so it's often easier to leave it at 4GB until you have issues.

    • meong on 18/11/2024 - 16:02

      It should all depends on the games itself.

      Unlike Steamdeck, Legion Go is already running windows so there are no tinkering needed to run games launched/sold through non-Steam stores.

      GOG games are preferred though as they are DRM-free and you have better assurance that they will run on the Go while you are away from home with no internet.

    • bazungus on 18/11/2024 - 19:47

      If most of your games are outside of steam then either windows handheld probably will make more sense for you.
      Epic and GOG reportedly work OK through launchers such as heroic launcher, but you'd still be taking a gamble on compatibility, especially for multi-player games if you're into that.

      • Twisty on 18/11/2024 - 20:45

        • bazungus on 18/11/2024 - 20:59

          Ye that's right, forgot to mention in the last comment but I was talking about steamOS. Anything that's runs on windows will work great of the LeGO since it's just a windows PC. It's the steam deck that requires more consideration.
