AMD’s Jack Huynh on RDNA 3.5 FSR 4.1 support: “I did not say it’s coming”
It makes ALL Intel handhelds more appealing, even old ones. Even the ancient MSI Claw A1M (Intel's first PC handheld) received Xess 3.0 and 3-4x Multi Frame Gen support which basically doubled/tripled framerates. While today's Claw 8AI+ achieves double the framerates as the Z2 Extreme with Multi Fra

Lenovo“There are no further updates for the graphics card driver of theLegion Go 1.”
Yeah, with my two MSI Claw A1M and AI+, you just need to download the drivers from the Intel website. And every month there are new ones to optimize the games that come out. And recently XeSS 3.0. It's really excellent.

First time posting here, which one should I get?
between these two, go with msi claw a1m. Drivers are much better now compared to how it performed on release (it was worse than steam deck)

Ally running SteamOS, Portal with Cloud Game Streaming and MSI Claw 8 AI+ for all the hardcore AAA stuff. We are spoiled for choice.
Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes. Bigger screen, better speakers, bigger battery, better performance in AAA titles, and better battery life (by a mile) in indie titles. In fact, I think I got about 7hrs playing Dead Cells. It. Just. Wouldn't. Die. If it wouldn't be for atrocious MSI Centre M (it d

I might of broke my Xbox ally
It’s just IPS glow / backlight bleed very common on the original ROG Ally / Ally X models as well as the new Xbox-branded ones. The display will always have some level of this effect. Some units are minimal, while others can be worse. The one at the bottom is from adhesive under the display causing

“What is the best handheld gaming device to buy as of March 2026?” MSI Claw AI+ 7/8 ,Rog X
I'll give my opinion as someone who owns multiple handhelds, including the ROG Ally / Xbox Ally X and all models of the MSI Claw. Since you already have a good PC, the first thing to think about is whether you actually need a handheld. Yes, it's great for portability, but do you realistically plan t

Are there any good handhelds under 300$ That arent arm64? (Not the deck)
Same here with an RP5, I see MSI Claw A1Ms go for <$300. I looked into an Odin 3 before this and realised it was a fool’s errand when the Claw will run more games faster on the first try, without wasting huge amounts of time and effort, caring about drama or waiting for component updates lmao
