Billbil-Kun: Xbox Rog Ally releases October 16
Poorly, just like all the other Ally units. Asus, MSI et all are iterating too much and flooding the market with units that all sorts of compromises. It confuses the average buyer - and you need their dollars for this concept to become a big enough hit to matter. Valve did it right. Keep the platfor

MSI skips RDNA 4 and will not manufacture AMD Radeon 9000-series GPUs
From randomly unlaunching their amd gpus to their ex ceo giving an interview sayin that they can't sell amd laptops because "intel is our friend and that would be like betraying intel", and taking intel's funding to launch the msi claw (which was a disaster on meteor lake), msi has never been a good

The future of handheld PCs?
Don't expect prices to decrease or even remain as now. Only up or they will just stop making handhelds because the prices will be absurd. Just get xbox ally x, or if you want bigger screen msi claw a8. Much better current prices than go 2.

Its official
Yeah man i agree, buying these expensive handhelds first is a no no for me. I got a msi claw am1 for 250 a few months ago bucks and that thing came out March 2024.

Dear Valve, please save us
You're comparing the cheapest possible Steam Deck to much more highly specced systems. A 512GB Steam Deck OLED ($550) is only $50 less than the similarly specced ROG XBOX Ally ($600) that was just announced. The $350 Steam Deck is a decent device, but it has significantly performance and specs than

Aussie Aussie Aussie! r1p price.
Either they were on drugs, or they missed the ones they were supposed to take. $999.99 already felt overpriced for a gaming handheld, but $1,350 is just ridiculous. In my region, MSI Claw a8 cost $830 USD, so if I need to buy Z2E handheld, I would buy a8 instead

At this point hes just hoarding
r/handhelds is the only video games sub I follow. I'm amazed at how many people are collecting countless similar handhelds. Like, why would you need three DS, or a MSI Claw plus a Steamdeck?

iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original
Xbox Series S (with a current MSRP of $380) is not portable neither does it come with a display and speakers, a PC hardware sub of all people should know that portability carries price with it. The cheapest Steam Deck is $399 MSRP and it comes with a terrible screen and even older hardware. No MSI C

Keep or let go of my pc handhelds due to price increase=higher resale value? (Legion go 2 and/or msi claw 8 ai)
I'd sell the msi claw and keep the legion go 2. I have the steam deck oled, legion go 2 and switch 2, each has there purpose so if you can them I would keep the most expensive and sell the cheaper one, the legion go 2 would be harder to get in the future if you wanted to re buy it since its going to

I love the Steam Deck. Is it weird that I still prefer Phone + Gamepad for emulation?
VERY weird timing. I just sent back an MSI Claw I bought to give the windows handheld a try (have previously had a Steam Deck, sold it to a friend in need). I let the Claw go because it was a HUGE hassle software-wise and the phone gamepad combo was so much easier to just pick up and play. Not to me
