It wasn’t that long ago – two years to be precise – that I went from being a PC gaming enthusiast to a cozy couch potato. Where once I absolutely had to have an SLI team in TI form, today comfort, user-friendliness and 60 FPS at medium details are enough for me. How did it get this far? I have no idea. But it feels practical and saves a lot of money, power and space. Even during my first forays into gaming handhelds, it struck me: This might be the way I want to go further – and that’s how it turned out.
That’s why I wrote short articles for Igor about the Odroid Go Super and the AYN Odin. Going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, I finally needed the “all-in-one machine”. The Steam Deck OLED has already filled that gap very well. The user experience with SteamOS, especially in docked mode on the TV, was compelling.
But then there are games like Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal or The Last of Us. The Steam Deck with its custom AMD Zen 2 chip quickly runs out of breath with the iGPU. This is not recommended for AA or AAA games in docked mode on a 4K, 120 Hz, 75-inch Samsung TV. We are now in the year 2024 and what is currently the fastest handheld APU? That’s right, the AMD Z1 Extreme. This APU can be found in the Asus ROG Ally, its revision, the Ally X, and the Lenovo Legion Go. I opted for the latter because it has two Thunderbolt ports, the display is larger and has a higher resolution and it is simply very practical with its detachable controllers.
Okay, let’s start with the technically interesting part, where I tried to force-breathe the Lenovo Legion Go with an eGPU. Turn the page please!
