Xbox Ally in great demand, ASUS expects to make up to $160 million from handhelds and ramps up production
I don't have the Xbox ally but I have the msi claw 8 ai, and it runs the Xbox front end just the same. I'm 40, and a new first time dad. If it wasnt for handheld gaming id be out of the hobby. Too easy just to pick it up for a few minutes before bed or if the baby is napped out. It's how Im playing

Best Handheld PC?
My personal favorite is the Lenovo Legion Go S 32GB 1TB Z1 extreme with SteamOs because compared to the Legion Go 2 it's much lighter and more usable and the performances are not that far apart (With frame gen is a little beast now for AAA games). And it costs much less, with the coupon code I bough

Which is the better handheld PC? - ROG Xbox Ally X vs MSI Claw 8 Al+ Owner Review
I have both, and both have their pros, and cons at the end of the day it comes down to your use case. Quick view: Msi claw 8ai: Pros: 8inch screen 1200p. Xess. Direct driver support. Speakers. Battery life. Cons: Ergos. 2230 ssd. Msi software sucks balls. Joystick tension very lose. No bazzite optio

Is this Claw 8 AI still a good choice?
MSI Center M is a lot better than it used to be. You can mostly ignore it if you use FSE. Use it to set up button bindings, etc in the beginning and then just rely on FSE and Gamebar to launch games and tweak TPP, etc. Latest BIOS that was released today fixed a issue with quick setting button doubl

What are the top 3 best handhelds out right now?
I’d say MSI Claw 8ai+ is the best all rounder right now. 8 inch screen still smaller than LeGo 2, good battery size, good power with the intel chip. Only downside for me was the software and lack of support for bazzite/steamOS. A portable but more powerful option is the Onexfly F1 Pro. OLED screen i

Why I’m keeping the Steam Deck OLED over the Legion Go s z1e
I only sold my oled steam deck for my msi claw 8ai+ I do miss that oled screen but the claw solved all the issues you had with your legion go. Fan noise is barely noticeable it runs powerful games at a lower tdp I run CP2077 at 20w with little to no performance drops meaning better battery life I do

How is Spiderman 2 playable on any ally device?
You generally shouldn’t be playing modern games from an SD card unless they’re older titles or ROMs. Heavier games like Spider-Man 2 can struggle when run from an SD card. That said, I play it on both my Xbox Ally X and MSI Claw 8AI+ and it runs fine. If you’re having issues, make sure you have the
