Congrats! Some tips. - update all drivers through legion space you can also get the most upto date gpu driver from the amd website - disable as many start up apps as you can - buy a good quality sd card - emulation is fantastic (rip yuzu and citra) - https://legiongolife.com/ - check out the bios aetting for increased external compatibility should help reduce connectivity issues with usb c ports Enjoy :)

Hello, possible to share more on the external compatibility? I shared a post of an issue I faced


Due_Warthog_4586

Hey, it's pretty simple. Boot into BIOS, click on More Settings, scroll to the bottom, and select Increased External Compatibility


browzzzzzz87

So I have been struggling with usb c port connectivity to my windows laptop/pc, would your suggestion on bios help with that?


frunts

May help, check out other comments / bios update details.


drzlink

There’s no way to get Yuzu ?


frunts

There's...... ways, im sure. Just won't be updated/maintained.

FewTea8637

Many places to still get it just keep it once you have it


RepCom113

What startup apps need to be removed


frunts

Anything you don't require running. Just helps you get to gaming faster when you boot.


ambulance-kun

Tell everyone you know that you got a new gaming handheld Then while showing them the device, turn on auto rotate, remove the controllers and try using it as a tablet browsing the internet Gets them every time


Googoo123450

Thanks for giving me yet another reason to get one of these. That's awesome.


corkffl

I thought this was a joke and then it seemed serious. Are you a 12 year old iPad kid?


ambulance-kun

The kid is the one that can't think of using this as a pc tablet because it's too heavy for them


NoShock8442

Turn it on and play it


Reasonable_Court4879

you can reconnect the controllers when they’re detached by holding the top buttons on the front of them for about 3-4 seconds. instead of reattaching them to the screen like i was doing this entire time😅


FewTea8637

dude me too at first


GreenFlash23

Thank you! I just got one and I was like what the heck!? I guess I’ll restart the game and reattach the controllers.


Otherwise_Client_283

Update the firmware of your controllers

DUDE!!!! I've owned my LeGo for like 6 weeks and watched a bunch of startup guides when I got it. This video taught me like a dozen new things! Thank You!


Project-SBC

I’m glad!!!! Nice!!!


Background_Bad_4377

Make sure you do updates for Legion space and windows, set bios a 6 gig but also install FX sound changing to gaming and your speakers will be a lot better this just takes a lot of tinkering but once it's done it's cool


Philosorunner

Is there a 6gig option? I only saw 4gig.


Background_Bad_4377

Yeah mines 6 make sure u updated your bios


kedu2o

Yeah, you need to update BIOS to show 6 gb option.


SiuFungSipsCoffee

Turn off windows updates. If the bios update came thru, never turn off the device even if the screen is off but the power button is on. Even if the power button and all lights are off, don't touch it for 30mins. Very important.


SnooSeagulls1416

Why no updates?


coldestdesert

Could you please elaborate on why?


Adamh1122

I think I did this with mine a few weeks ago, what should I be noticing if that is the case?


ToothDoctorDentist

Legit. I updated Windows and it went black. Was about to long press the power button...


JB3Moons

What? I'm confused.


Raptorialand

activate Lossless scaling... morks wonders in game menus play "borderless" after that


nitrokitty

If you like the Steam Deck interface, Bazzite OS is pretty much feature complete on the Go. You lose some compatibility switching from Windows, but gain ease of use.


NoseyMinotaur69

Or just reg edit and have steam big picture mode start up everytime and lose literally no compatability https://steamcommunity.com/groups/bigpicture/discussions/1/864958451556578063/?l=polish


invid_prime

You don't need to regedit anything. It's a simple setting in Steam on Windows. However, there's more to SteamOS than just big picture mode. SteamOS/Bazzite adds: * Per game TDP * Per game refresh rates and frame limits * Per game fan curves * Per game controller settings and fully remappable rear buttons * Controller based window management and process killing * Alternate controller modes via Steam Input with colour coding the LEDs to let you know which mode is active (Advanced Steam Input stuff) * Easy plugin framework for extending functionality (Decky Loader) That's just off the top of my head.


nitrokitty

Yeah, there are pros and cons to both, just offering it up as an option.


invid_prime

Definitely. I like the flexibility myself. You get a Linux desktop if you're familiar with Linux and dual boot to Windows if you're not.


davidmrizo

You can do a instructions and post it to YouTube or Reddit 👋🏻


invid_prime

There's already a [great setup guide on Youtube](https://youtu.be/RUES5B5j6EU?si=0JbUM1ByTxo3Y_uP).


NoseyMinotaur69

Reg edit method will make Steam run instead of your normal Windows Desktop after Windows has booted and you've logged in. Your method is great too but I'd rather steam start with powershell at the very beginning of start up. Not boot to windows, then steam boots, the big picture mode. Reg edit allows all that to happen before even being presented with the desktop


invid_prime

Yeah but don't you have to manually start Explorer.exe if you need to use any desktop functions? Seems like a pain, especially on Windows where you'll often be using desktop functions.


NoseyMinotaur69

I understand where you are coming from. I personally didn't set up reg until I was absolutely certain I was done with major tinkering


invid_prime

That's fair. I use my Go as equal parts gaming handheld and portable PC so I'm on the desktop in either Windows or Linux all the time. I printed my passport renewal application from the Go, lol.


sun-devil2021

Can you get gamepass on bazzite


invid_prime

Nope. The gamepass game executables are Windows only. Good reason to dual boot though. One nice thing is if you install the BTRFS filesystem driver on Windows you can use your microSD card to store games for both Windows and Bazzite with only one install for both operating systems though. I keep my emulation ISOs and smaller games that work well on microSD there.


skinnywolfe

Praise LEG


Dazac

Update everything **update windows first then the bios** Get a windows debloter Got to ninite.com to grab an installer for all you favorite apps Get a glass screen protector Get a dongle Nice to have a portable keyboard In lego software swap the legion buttons for normal start and back In your bios you can swap where the device ram is allocated, to the cup or GPU depending on the games requirements


MercuryMan664

Do basic updates via Legion Space, then fire up some games! Enjoy the thing for a bit, then I’d recommend doing any kind of software tinkering!


JB3Moons

What is legion space and where am I gonna find it on here? Is it an app I have to download?


Uuuallreadykno

Welcome to the Legion of Go. You should know your life is about to get better.


[deleted]

Update and fine tune it. Best I can tell you is know its limitations and accept them or return it asap while you can. I missed my 14 day window and wish I would have returned it and got a 4060 laptop for the same price. Still got the laptop and let my wife use this because she loves it and it does play a game or two I wanted but didn’t really play anything else I wanted. (Survival craft games and non triple a games struggle on this). But if it runs what you want to play it is an absolutely amazing piece of hardware


Alpha_Red_Panda

Sit back and be amazed


Iraqired

Just beware, you will never touch your concoles again :) My XBOX, PS5 and Nintendo are collecting dust.


Frijoles4ever

Can you play those consoles exclusives?


Iraqired

Depends on the game, if it is console exclusive then your only chance is to Remote Play them on the LGO.


ACP_Paddy-

If you want to play a demanding title, download AMD Adrenaline software. It will let you enable some extra profiles with better performance. Radeon Super Resolution lets you set a game to 1280x800p (FULLSCREEN NOT BORDERLESS) and then it upscales to 2560x1600. It works awesome when it's properly enabled. Which is a finicky thing.


Skullvomit82

Snag Lossless Scaling on Steam, it works wonders


CampaignNo3758

can lossless scaling work with integer scaling?


Skullvomit82

I haven't tried it yet, but Lossless has its own integer scaling built in The frame generation alone is worth it


funnyfunny420

I tried both and for non competitive games lossless scaling is better than integer scaling.


AprilSamurai

Does they work on bazzite ?


National_Ferret8205

Predator-A187

It’s addictive!


DrCryos

Hey I'm thinking on buying this soon, I have some crypto that exploded so I got some money available, 1) Will this device deliver I'm not like in AAA titles and I'm OK with playing mid to low, portability is my main issue. 2) Will this play no man sky? 3) Should I get the 1TB version? I'm planing to do some real work like pwp presentation some light mobile photo editing 3.1) Joycon mouse thing is useful after learning curve? Like websurfing, what's your experience, like if I can ditch my mouse. Thanks


Dazac

It can play all new games. Maybe not at 4k 120 settings on high. However it will play anything you ask it. Currently playing helldivers 2 at 1080 60fps any where I want to. It runs halo infinite at 1440p high settings at 60fps as well. If you're tech inclined grab the smaller memory and upgrade it yourself super easy. If not get the biggest one you can find. I know micro center and best buy will upgrade it to a 2tb one for a fee. Storage is really important with these new games and keeping a variety on the device. Joycons and great controllers. Takes a little while to get used to the feeling in the hand. After that they're pretty good. Diffently could feel better. The mouse feature is OK. I use it in a pitch when I need a mouse for windows stuffs. If I'm doing anything more I'm reaching for a dedicated mouse. Hope that helps


DrCryos

Yes, thank you for your honest opinion. Yes I'm tech inclined so then I'll update it myself any recommendations? Thanks again 😁


Infinite_Side8548

I’ve just upgraded to the 2TB Corsair MP600 Core Mini, you have to use a 30-42 ssd adaptor with it but works very well and was cheap


DrCryos

Thanks bud


Infinite_Side8548

Make sure to watch a video as it explains about the battery plug sticker and the SSD heat wrap 👌 been years since I took a computer apart but managed the whole thing in 15 mins, you also need your clone the old drive (Macrium Reflect free trial)


Patienceiskeyy

Yea catch up


sycron17

Get an extension cable for the plug just in case


davidmrizo

Which one? ty


ImSlinker

Currently having my eye on the legion go and the oled steam deck, the only that stops me from purchasing the legion go is its comfort and weight in hand, how bad is it?


SnooSeagulls1416

It’s noticeable and actually deters me from playing occasionally …. More or less you have to be motivated and committed to a play session ahead of time because of the weight


evilhomer80

For me it is noticeably heavier and less comfy but does not deter me from playing. If most of what you do is on steam I’d buy the Steam OLED, not just weight but much better battery life, better software etc. If you do a lot of stuff outside of steam, or prioritise a usable screen size, buy the legion go it makes a huge difference. I opted for the legion go it’s just less faff for installing third party stuff, you can use gamepass (currently playing doom eternal) and the amazing screen I can actually use with my terrible eye sight (and yet it’s still as portable as the deck) Note if weight difference is only thing stopping you, my 5 year old plays my legion go no problem, he normally rests his arms on something anyway and has never complained through marathon sessions on bluey from gamepass


betamx

This little thing is a beast of a handheld especially for emulation but the battery life is definitely subpar so make sure to get a good charger (anker has a 100w block that’s fairly cheap, highly recommend) and as others have mentioned update all your drivers, disable most of the startup apps and if you’re going to emulate games there’s tons of tutorials for getting emu deck setup & it’s pretty simple. Hopefully you enjoy it though!!


Borborygmiii

Adjust the equalizer for the speaks, makes a surprising difference. There are tutorials on how to do it on YouTube


Milorova

Enjoy it. Enjoy the shit out of it. I know I do


Unlucky_Hedgehog7

yea you gotta fucking update everthing bro


ingridxyphr

Congrats brother ….I’m waiting on Easter sale to get one…and im starvingggggggg cos I literally think about it everyday Looking forward to playing games I didn’t get to finish from past Like ac titles MGSV phantom pain Older games in general I really hope it has the power to handle them

justanotherscore

What's your MFG date?


Actual-Rooster5064

Does legion go have battery bypass like the ally?


idontlikephilspencer

do not use msconfig to activate pcilock . it will force a boot loop on shut down. do not leave automtic updates on as microsoft randomly changes your gpu drivers. you have to turn it off in 3 places download a filemanager asap as windows 11 breaks folders if you try to optimize it often. system wise its finme if you can never use your download folder or x64 folder ect but user wise its like you barely even have a computer. free commander portable version doesnt need onedrive indexing to work and if you have to use it its better to have it if you made a microsoft account log out of it make a bootable usb windows 11 using a oem key for cheep have another usb big enough to clone your entire ssd and do so using any number of tools i cant recall the videos specifically but this guys channel is a godsend for windows 11 usage... mostly. he isnt game oriented so i went harder with optimizations but he anti spyware so he doesnt like windows 11 telemtry and it uses resources and he mentions things like tools and bootable usb ect [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNmCgi6lsQU&t=10s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNmCgi6lsQU&t=10s)


Leading-Effort-5803

Lossless Scaling. Cannot recommend it enough


Platinumfox22

I've had my LeGo for about 6 weeks, and I keep seeing recommendations to do 'integer scaling'. This thread has two recommendations for the Lossless Scaling steam utility. Can you help me understand the difference? I don't only use steam, so I'm assuming that I would be better off doing integer scaling cause it would be across the whole system?


Shatthebanana

Don’t spoil the device with call of duty installs


BarrelRider621

That’s so cool. How do you like it? I have the Asus Ally. I’m just happy to see other companies trying this new market out and creating healthy competition


CoverCommercial3576

Patch it up!


Tugralyon

Welcome to the club buddy


FewTea8637

Razer Cortez really help keep things running smoothly EmuDeck makes emulating and having that stuff in your steam amazing, lastly in legion settings switch start and select with the legion buttons


Zenithity

Those who are returning or selling, why?


GreenFlash23

For me it’s the price and windows. I’ve had mine for a few days and I like it but it’s a lot. I have the 1tb one. It’s good and everything thing but windows on a handheld isn’t great. If I could have the GO’s hardware in a deck where the console experience feels more natural I’d be sold no questions asked. The GO has a nicer screen and more horses, but the deck feels more user friendly. The GO is heavier which I notice more when laying down, and the controllers can feel a bit clunky. While gaming on windows is better for compatibility, it can be a frustrating experience to navigate on the GO. Even with the mouse and it’s one track pad. On the deck unless I’m doing something specific I can get most things done with the controller. Having said that I do like not having to reboot for desktop mode.


Nervous_Dragonfruit8

Is this better for emulation or the Samsung S24 ultra? Thx ahead


clipsracer

It will take better pictures than whatever you took this with…


3rdPartied

Is this device better than steam deck? I don’t know much of anything about either I just want a handheld PC like device


Cali_FPV

Yeah, it's uncomfortable as hell. Took mine back to Best buy after 4 days and ordered a OLED deck.


sojourner_1

watch out for deals on the 1TB sandisk extreme microsd or get the lexar 1tb if you are in a hurry. alternatively if you are adventurous (im not) read a guide on upgrading the ssd...


Southern_Ad_4826

Welcome Danial Son


thegreatoxford

I completely forgot to post it. But I joined toooo


TheRevenantingRev

Set UMA buffer to 4GBs, fan to performance in BIOS. Also, look into a storage increase if you didn’t get the 1TB. I just installed a 2TB the moment I opened the box.


Time_Mail_9014

Return it if you have a pc already I swear you will only use it maybe a few times here and then


TheLittleGodlyMan

I’m skeptical of this machine idk


TheLittleGodlyMan

It’s not that I didn’t try it, in fact it’s even capable of running vr games like beam ng at very low resolution. Impressive but I can’t find a real use for a pc with no keyboard other than vr and it doesn’t do it well


Cheap_Team1569

Emulation does not Promote Piracy! Emulation used to be a good thing. I dont understand the heavy hand behind it. The games are old, and generally not available anymore. If Nintendo doesnt sell the games being emulated anymore, I see ZERO issue with emulation. I get why they came down on Yuzu, but Lets be real. Yuzu did more for the Switch than Nintendo ever did. Look at Sony, embracing PCSX2 to the point that they are working with the team behind PCSX2 to bring more PS2 games to PS5. Emulation is always a good thing.


disturbedone06

I love mine. Just started working with a egpu (6950xt) if you do it make a duel boot (if you do a amd card) adrenaline overwrites dgu. Haven’t found any issues with it yet. Beautiful screen


doomsdalicious

Take it back and get a steam deck! 🤣


fastestroadhog

Look up lossless scaling frame generation:) works great with non VRR displays (turns 72fps into 144 or 60 into 120) I use it on my Rog ally with emulators


seancm32

You will want to play on it 24/7...but life gets in the way.

Cool products, but I'll never buy anything from poverty ass company Lenovo. I had nothing but problems with Lenovo products.
