Meanwhile, the Legion Go is rather bulky and puts more strain on your wrists due to its weight. Regarding comfort, the ROG Ally weighs less and has better ergonomic grips, making it easier to hold. This is likely at least partially due to the fact that ROG Ally has VRR support (variable refresh rate) while the Legion Go does not. It's also worth noting that the ROG Ally starts at an MSRP of $599.99, which is less expensive than the lowest-priced version of the Legion Go, which has a $699.99 price point. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)Įven though Legion Go and the more expensive version of the ROG Ally utilize the same AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, the gameplay is smoother and less choppy on ROG Ally. Overall, the ROG Ally is easier on your wallet, offers a good screen, provides more freedom, and performs better.

There is more bloatware due to having Windows 11, but these programs can be turned off. Battery life isn't great on ROG Ally, but it isn't great on Legion Go either.Īdditionally, the Armoury Crate software on ROG Ally allows you to tweak settings quite a bit, giving you more control than what Legion Go provides. While conducting testing, I learned that gameplay tends to be smoother on ROG Ally versus the Legion Go, even though the two handhelds have the same processor. The ROG Ally's MSRP is less expensive than Legion Go, and right now, it's also on sale as part of a Cyber Monday deal, making it cheaper than usual. There are two versions of the ROG Ally, but I recommend the more powerful one with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme as it offers smoother performance.
