Well... i tested each of it
Tried ROG XAX and MSI Claw 8AI+ both, thought the performance and screen is superb, the rest is a downer (loosy Sticks, D-Pad, Vibration). On the other side the ROG XAX was great, but the screen just too small. I guess i'm waiting for the next handheld with Intel panther lake then.

Is the Steam Deck OLED Worth Getting This Late in the Game?
I bought one recently and I'd say so. The thing is that while more powerful devices are coming out the performance ceiling for these things is still very low. At least in comparison to consoles and even full desktop PCs when you get to the more expensive ones like the ROG Ally X and the latest model

Steamdeck alternative for current AAA games
The Deck runs a four-core Zen 2 CPU. The Go S has two SKUs, the Z2 Go has a four-core Zen 3+ CPU whereas the Z1 Extreme variant has an eight-core Zen 4, so it's already far better than the Deck. You could also get some of the alternate Z1 Extreme devices, such as the Legion Go, ROG Ally, or the ROG

Msi Claw A8 in white.
What I like:The performance is great – I’m getting about 15% more power in my games. I mainly play RPGs and pixel games. On the ROG Ally, I got around 75–100 FPS, while on the MSI Claw I’m getting 85–120 FPS on high settings. I dont play AAA games on my handhelds like God of War or so. The screen is

What to get
Msi claw 8 ai is one of the best performance wise. But for 1sr person shooters the joysticks are really bad. They have low resistance and are hard to aim. You either need to mod it to replace the spring or use a controller

Msi Claw A8 in white.
How cheap does the Claw A8 actually feel? And how is the cooling performance? I'm still deciding between the Legion Go 2, Claw A8, and Claw A8 AI+.What bothers me about the Legion Go 2 are the detachable controllers, the overwhelming number of buttons, and the heavy weight.With the Claw A8, my conce

Received the updated Aoostar AG02 egpu dock
I got mine today, to pair up with the Aoostar WTR Max which didn't seem to like the Minisforum DEG1 when I upgraded from RX6600/6750 XT to the RX9070XT. I got it working with both oculink and usb/tb, which was nice as the WTR Max was always a bit temperamental with TB eGPUs (eg GPD G1 and Razer Core

The problem of 1% low on EGPU. Aorus 5060ti + Xbox Asus Rog Ally X
I think the MSI Claw 8ai+ is the best overall choice for an EGPU because it has a fairly powerful processor. I ran Watch Dogs 2 and it was bad. No matter the resolution, the 1% low frame rate still drops by more than half from 60 fps. Alone in the Dark constantly stutters when switching between loca
