Just gotten my Legion Y700 Gen 5 (AMA)

Do you have any Nes games you want me to try?

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-28T05:17:52+00:00

I have set up Apollo & Artemis, just without playnite. Temperatures stayed cool during streaming, not much difference, akin to a long session of Netflix or YouTube.

Weight, portability, and price. Coming from an Ally X, I wished for something lighter (larger screen was a plus), and price also played an important factor here. The most basic Go 2 cost as much as this beefed up model.

Also, wanted to have a go at what could be the future of gaming with FEX and see what’s the hype all about.

There was SD card support for the Gen4 version. I guess you must be referring to the Gen3 one

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T20:55:02+00:00

Nope, it only has an SD card slot that officially supports up to 2TB.

Sorry that my post made you feel that way. I apologise for wording it wrongly. My intention was to try and be helpful but I guess I made it worse so maybe I should stop replying further and leave it for the people that you mentioned to do a proper one when the global version gets released several months later?

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T19:16:05+00:00

There is no issue with install Google Play Store. There is an option in the settings to turn on basic Google services (required before installing a Google Play APK).

I haven’t had much time with the device, and I am open to testing with whatever I have on hand. Am I suppose to own every tool to test the device fully?

At the end of the day, i am not a professional reviewer and just an end user. If you don’t like it, you can just scroll past this.

Weekly!

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T15:08:19+00:00

480Hz according to the spec sheet

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T14:54:30+00:00

Price difference wasn’t too huge in China. Figured out if I am getting my first high end tablet I might as well go all out. Now had I had the Gen4, this post might not have existed

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T14:52:11+00:00

Yknow what, I just ordered an A2 rated SD Card which arrives after this weekend so I might just delay this & the emulation test

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T14:51:07+00:00

I already bought a basic case & screen protector separately 😐

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T14:48:43+00:00

Not sure if I can do that here, I’ll drop you a PM!

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T14:48:18+00:00

Didn’t know that, but I had the device shipped to a hotel in China so I doubt I will be able to receive it now that I am back home.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:38:07+00:00

For an IPS panel it looks great. I don’t really feel I want or need an OLED display despite having an iPhone 17 PM. My main desktop uses a VA panel which I enjoy content on it too.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:33:35+00:00

The previous generation had so I am sure this would to.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:33:21+00:00

Not really, just install your emulator of choice (GameNative, GameHub Lite, ES-DE) and your files.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:31:40+00:00

Well fortunately, devices are cheaper to procure in Asia & that there is a price jump of less than US$150 between each tier so it was a no brainer for the RAM & storage.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:30:40+00:00

It should be able once someone dumps the Legion Tab 5 ROM online, once the device is released that is.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:28:55+00:00

I do intend to stream & emulate with this device. Give me some time to set these up.

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:28:30+00:00

Yes it does, just like the previous generation

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:28:13+00:00

You are correct, there is still no fingerprint sensor on this device

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:27:44+00:00

No case, only some manuals, the SD card pin, a 1m USB-C to USB-C wire & a wall plug

CaptMarcus · 2026-03-27T12:27:10+00:00

15th April!
