Since the new Lenovo Legion Go S has hit the market, I thought it would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the ROG Ally. For those unaware, there are two iterations of the Legion Go S – the white 8-inch version running Windows 11 and the dark purple Nebula Violet Legion Go S powered by SteamOS. Here’s a look at how they compare:
1. Design: The ROG Ally has a more compact design, making it easier to carry around. However, the Legion Go S offers a more premium feel with its metal construction.
2. Operating System: The Windows 11 version of the Legion Go S provides a familiar desktop-like experience, while the SteamOS-powered Nebula Violet Legion Go S is optimized for gaming and has access to the vast Steam library.
3. Performance: Both devices offer impressive performance with their Intel processors and dedicated graphics. However, the ROG Ally seems to have a slight edge in terms of raw power due to its higher clock speeds and cooling system.
4. Battery Life: The Legion Go S boasts longer battery life compared to the ROG Ally, making it ideal for those on-the-go gamers who don’t want to be tethered to a power outlet all the time.
5. Price: The ROG Ally is currently more expensive than both versions of the Legion Go S, which may make it a tough sell for budget-conscious consumers.
Overall, both devices are impressive in their own right and cater to different needs. The choice between them will depend on your specific preferences regarding design, operating system, performance, battery life, and price.
