Windows hate is overblown.
I think it's mostly around the current implementation of windows on handhelds. It's a standard version of windows, with some extra bits on top to shoehorn it onto handhelds. Steamos was purpose built with handhelds in mind. It's also based on arch Linux and runs only what's required. Whereas you got

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

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.

Intel's GPU Driver Problems Revisited: 2025 Arc Graphics Driver Review
I recently picked up an MSI Claw 7 AI+, and have been pleasantly surprised with the current state of their drivers. I would absolutely be interested in a Celestial GPU if they have anything targeting 9070~ or higher performance level. Here's hoping!

Comparing the ROG Xbox Ally X to other handhelds. Does it compete with the higher end or lower end matket [Strictly Performance Only; Don’t look at Value]
Comparing to what? Xbox Rog Ally X will be using Z2 Extreme chip with some AI features, we'll see what kind of software support the AI features will have but that's mostly a semi empty promise in my opinion. Z2 Extreme is the common high end APU chip and you'll find the same chip in the legion go 2,

Claw A8 (Z2E) vs. Claw 8 AI+ (258v): Two Strong Options, No Wrong Choice, Solid Devices That Cater to Different Needs
Mind you these are with outdated drivers on the MSI Claw 8 AI+. The reviewer didn't have the Claw 8 AI+ at hand. So he used his old video to reference the performance (5 months ago), we got new drivers in April that improved the performance.

Which handheld PC is better between these 2?
I have both, they are both really good, I’m still testing them to decide which one I prefer, I’m slightly leaning more towards the Ayaneo 3 at the moment: The Onexfly: lighter (~99g) fans are quieter and less whiny, although it runs slightly hotter (Ayaneo 3 fan is a lot more powerful) surprisingly
