Give it to me straight - what’s the consensus on Steam Deck OLED?
The reason for the split is some people treat handheld PCs as a secondary gaming device, so their expectations regarding higher end demanding games are lower as they can game on a PS5/PC and/or game stream demanding games. While others treat handheld PCs as their primary gaming device either due to

Looking forward Phawx's tweaking
Just FYI. I've been collecting data on Win5 at 15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50 at 720p/1080p and also included Blackmyth and Doom the Dark Ages so you can get UE5 and a game with forced RT to help contextualize why what the Win5 is capable of and where it has diminishing returns. I also collected new data w

What's the best handheld on the market that's not the Xbox Rog ally x?
Depends on your use case and what you prioritize in a handheld: Legion Go 2: 8.8" OLED VRR screen but expensive MSI Claw 8 AI+: Best power efficiency (aka battery life) due to Lunar Lake architecture, while still having Z2E equivalent performance GPD Win 5/OneX Apex: Expensive Strix Halo handhelds o

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

Xbox Ally X -- WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
The hate is beyond logic... XAX has the same specs with MSI claw 8 but with AI variant of the chip that will have auto sr and a smaller screen and in Europe it costs 150€ less and more than 400€(!!!) less than legion go 2. Yes it has the inferior screen but its way cheaper than all other handhelds.

Got caught up in the hype. Defects and other available handhelds brought me back to reality
I plan to grab the MSI claw 8 AI+ when it hits BestBuy on 10/7. Still 8inch screen, so bigger than my Ally. And all the benchmarks point to a nice increase in performance. Battery is also bigger and more efficient using the intel chip. All at $350 cheaper than the LeGo2.

What are the best handheld device for triple A titles
If you want the best performance and efficiency for triple A titles and even newer ones, I would suggest the MSI Claw 8AI.

Just saw the Claw A8 pre-order go live 👀 – is this a better pick than Ally X?
Assuming you are from the UK - Like myself. So i picked up the MSI Claw 8ai - open box for £750 (love the device) I have preodered the Claw A8 - via cyberpower for £850 & preorder a lego 2 for £900 (512gb - as i plan on installing a 4tb myself). If you want to get a legion go 2 - very uk is offering

Thinking about buying the MSI Claw 8 AI+, but this brand-new review raises serious concerns
Here’s my take on the bullet points from a Claw 8ai+ owner – Stuttering in games, overall gameplay doesn’t feel smooth Definitely not my experience, there is a few games where I’ve had struggles but 99% of the time there is no stuttering. Don’t expect Ultra graphics but games are more than playable
