That’d normally be fine, except the curse of physics limits the collapsible stand to the same dimensions.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by BenQ.
BenQ had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
A small peripheral gets small packaging.
The USB4 host connection cable is nondetachable, but it does come equipped with a 90-degrees adapter.
There is no charger included in the box.
It’s a simple, compact, and flexible design that I really appreciate.
The Legion Go S can topple over with even the slightest movement, but everything does work when it’s plugged in.
BenQ describes this dock as a “7-in-1,” but there are effectively only five ports here.
The other two are the USB4 upstream cable and the 100W Power Delivery input.
At least you get a nice variety of ports.
I love being able to stow the cable and its 90-degrees adapter under the dock.(Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy)
You’re limited to 4K and 60Hz on macOS, though.
Even if you use every single port simultaneously, you shouldn’t have any issues.
It helps that it also costs quite a bit less.
It’s not a lot of ports, but it’s a good variety and they’re nicely spaced.(Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy)
Why should you consider it, then?
Simple this docking station also allows you to intuitively record your gameplay.
It’s an unfortunate shortcoming that makes that price tag stand out more.
You get one lone USB Type-C port off to the side.(Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy)
If you don’t need USB4, though, you could save some cash.
Genuinely, the Legion Go Sbarelysqueezes into the top of the stand, and it’s not at all secure. The Ally X won’t fit at all, and forget it if you use a case.
I still really like this product, but it feels pointless to pay for the USB4 bandwidth when the handhelds that can actually use it don’t fit in the stand.
