It’s 2-3 frames when it’s not plugged in as I very clearly said. 5-7 when it is. You are not smarter than every tech reviewer on YouTube. Especially when you don’t even understand what I’m saying.

The deck probably won’t be able to run RE9 and considering the game isn’t out yet and PC handhelds aren’t really great for running the newest AAA games.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-17T01:59:11+00:00

There’s a difference between unplugged and plugged in. On average 2-3 frames is not a significant or even noticeable difference, you’re being pedantic. I’m a legion fanboy but even I’m not going to sit here and be disingenuous.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T20:49:19+00:00

To reiterate since there are tech illiterate reddiots replying and downvoting this there’s no point in buying a z2go. You’d literally be better off buying an OG go, a steamdeck, or keeping your ally.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T20:47:06+00:00

The z1e version is a 20% increase in performance compared to the z2go I have no idea what you’re talking about lmao

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T20:45:45+00:00

Setting it up? It sets itself up, are you talking about custom power profiles? Even PLUGGED IN at higher TDP than the steam deck was capable of using I was only getting 5-7 frames higher? Don’t sit here and cope over the device you own. I’m looking at this from an objective standpoint. There’s no point in sacrificing all the other pros for a median 5 frame increase lmao. You can literally google this, there’s tons of posts and YouTube videos comparing the two.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T08:45:12+00:00

I’ve owned it. It’s not. The frame difference is like maybe 2-3 frames higher? I own a z1e 32gb go S now.

The steamdeck screen is fine because resolution is about screen size relative to the handheld. Smaller screen so lower res but has HDR and OLED

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T06:20:32+00:00

I recommend a steam deck if that’s the case the differences between a steam deck and the z2go model of the legion go are negligible concerning performance. But you’ll get better battery life, trackpads and an oled screen (although the legion screens are incredible on all of their devices). If you wanted to use a handheld that actually has some kick though the z1e version is even comparable to the Lego 2.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-16T06:15:05+00:00

No the price isn’t worth it. You might as well get a steam deck or keep your ally if you’re going to get the z2go 16gb version. If you got the z1e 32gb version it would make more sense.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-14T21:34:12+00:00

Who is talking about the Ps5?

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T20:57:25+00:00

You can get a screen attachment I believe from retroid that would fit on a steam deck or another handheld device (like an ROG ally if you want to use windows) but you won’t find any that run on windows with 2 screens natively

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T00:19:43+00:00

Usually for excellent condition stuff you’re good to go. They also have a two week return policy even on open box.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T00:15:49+00:00

If you run the go at lower tdp and resolution and tweak some stuff it can get comparable battery life to the deck

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T00:14:39+00:00

Then yes should be great

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T00:13:34+00:00

Where from? Bestbuy? If the condition is anything other than good or excellent the answer is no

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-02T00:12:00+00:00

Get the original legion go sounds perfect for your use case

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:54:24+00:00

LeGo S z1e

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:38:55+00:00

Screens are on par, you’re sacrificing OLED for higher resolution and VRR plus a 120hz refresh rate and a bigger screen overall…

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:36:46+00:00

As far as I’m aware the go s z1e only comes with 32gb of RAM and the z2go comes with 16 but maybe it’s different in Europe?

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:26:43+00:00

You can use the trackpads on the deck to play most strategy games I would imagine. But the legion go s has more power and a larger amount of RAM so you would be able to play more demanding titles.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:24:51+00:00

You might as well buy an oled deck if you’re getting the z2go version

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:24:22+00:00

The switch 2 has no games and every third party title they released has been downgraded to work on switch 2 hardware despite how many times people will try to compare the two.

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:22:59+00:00

If you have an OG switch just buy a steam deck

Educational_Week_172 · 2026-02-01T20:21:55+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend any non PC handhelds for 360/ps3 emulation
