Asus ROG Ally vs Lenovo Legion Go: Which handheld should you buy this Prime Day?

(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)

Lenovo Legion GO handheld with Returnal gameplay on screen

When you get down to the nuts and bolts, theROG AllyandLegion Goare extremely similar beasts. In a way, Lenovo’sbest gaming handheldcontender feels like an answer to Asus' Steam Deck rival, as it feels more like a flamboyant prototype than something I’d play Steam games on comfortably and reliably.

Yes, quite a few of my feelings towards the laptop maker’s portable PC are subjective, but as GamesRadar+’s resident handheld nerd, I have a good feel for what players will generally resonate with. Factors like comfortable controls, reliable software, and easy to access settings are vital when bridging the gap between the gaming PC realm and games console scene, and honestly? I think the Lenovo Legion Go misses the mark on too many of those fronts.

That’s not to say that the Asus ROG Ally is a saint, and it’s got a long way to go beforeit’ll topple theSteam Deck OLEDin my eyes. Part of the problem is the fact it uses Windows 11, as Microsoft’s operating system lacks UI elements to make handheld play feel natural. But, if we’re talking Ally Vs Go, I think Asus Armoury Crate does more to tackle the issue than Lenovo’s Legion Space software, which is both slow and has a less than ideal layout.

In terms of specs, the Lenovo Legion Go should be holding the belt, with an 8.8-inch 144Hs QHD display out flexing the ROG Ally’s 120Hz 1080p panel on paper. For what it’s worth, that would have been the case if the Go wasn’t rocking the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU, as there’s a reason why most handhelds with this chip stick with full HD. Simply put, unless you’re playing older releases within your Steam backlog, you’ve got no chance of hitting 1600p in most new releases.

Sure, you can simply run games at a lower resolution and refresh rate using software settings, but this caused me nothing but problems during my review. I’m a big believer that matching screens to system specs is a necessity, and while Lenovo is clearly aiming for flexibility with its decision, it ultimately feels like a mismatch.
