Has anyone tried Winhanced on the MSI Claw 8 AI+? Does it work properly?
As others have stated I wouldn't bother with Winhanced on the MSI Claw 8AI +, at least not yet. I've tried it on and off for the past 6 months and often freezes, controller becomes a mouse pointer, games dont show up, TDP doesn't work etc. Its just not a priority for them, given its a somewhat uniqu

Has anyone been able to do an RMA from Latin America?
Ah man that sucks. I have been experiencing BSOD crashes ever since I got my Claw 8 Ai+ (more than a year ago), but they always halpen when I am doing something lightweight like browsing, or right after I click in system shutdown, never during gaming. But recently the inital one crash per month has

Win 11 IoT LTSC
That's exactly the Windows version I have been using on mine ever since I bought my Claw 8 Ai+ (in March 2025, so pretty much as soon as it became available). Unfortunately I have no reference how much better/faster it is compared to the default Win version it comes with, as I wiped my device as soo

Please help me decide
The white Xbox Rog Ally will probably be enough for what you are asking, but if you had trouble with SteamOS and you don't normally use windows, these aren't the devices for you. Steam Deck, save a few extra tweaks to do some emulation and get non steam apps in steam like Game pass streaming and suc

Lenovo Legion Go S – 16GB – 1 TB – Negro – 83L3004DGJ
No, Z2 Go is really weak if you compare it to Z1 Extreme or Z2 Extreme or the APU from Msi Claw 8 AI+. Not worth $800. IMO get Xbox Ally X, MSI Claw A8, Legion Go 2, MSI Claw 8Ai+, Legion Go S (with Z1 Extreme) or a ROG Ally X (Z1 Extreme)

MSI Claw 8 AI+ vs ROG Xbox Ally X: Why is the MSI supposed to be better?
I tried both: I ended up sending the Claw back and keeping the Xbox Ally X. On paper, really, the Claw is better. If I just sat down and picked up a game, side by side, imo, the Claw is better. It has a much better screen (although the Ally X screen has some better VRR), it runs everything great. Bu

Should I sell my MSI Claw 8ai+ for Xbox ally X because of bad ergonomics?
I just upgraded from the legion go s z2go to the msi claw 8ai+. I need the performance. But I think the xbox ally form factor is unmatched to this day. I’m used to the bulkiness ever since the steam deck though. If I’m really gonna be playing a handheld for long without a charger on me I actually op

Szerintetek melyik jelenleg a legjobb kézi konzol?
Mondjuk a 7 óra üzemidő az combos. Amúgy a rog xbox ally x-nek nagyon kényelmes a tartása. Az msi claw 8ai plust sosem fogtam, de annál elvileg az inter proci miatt sok a stutter meg driver problema… Nekem azért lenne fontos, hogy az AAA is min 720p-b elmenjen problémamentesen, mivel csak ez az egye

Graphics driver updates for Claw A8
I love my claw a8 but as much as I love it. I won't buy any msi device at the future anymore cause of that same reason you have stated. Lack of driver support. But I'm still enjoying my a8 despite of lack of driver updates it still runs fine.
