Claw A1M

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

Keep the MSI Claw A1M unless you specifically need Linux support. The ROG Ally Z1E (white model) suffers from similarly poor battery life, with most AAA games lasting around an hour. The joysticks aren’t hall effect like those on the MSI Claw A1M, making them prone to stick drift. The SD card slot i

My lowest recorded session was around 53 minutes. Even using PCSX2 at a lower wattage, I was only getting just over an hour a

Cool ROG ally! I have a MSI Claw a1m 7m, myself. I think it's a similar device. I--and I'm talking about myself and MY device, not dissing yours-- have a love/hate relationship with it haha. Can I do a quick vent? Good: -I've played SOOO many hours of Ghost of Tsushima on it and that was so fun. -Ju

Very nice choice !Mine is now repaired by asus because b button was blocking itself if you press it left part of it. Using warranty. Other than that it's the best handled/windows fse experience so far. I came from a more powerfull MSI Claw A1M, battery was melting so fast and unreliable and more com

Msi claw A1m has a better ecosystem as you're pretty much free to play almost any game you want at a low price too because of steam and it can be modded while the switch undeniably gives the better experince with screen size and comfort but the games are limited, expensive and not moddable. However

MSI Claw A1M is actually more powerful but the APU is so power hungry that even with all the tinkering APU consumes 8-10 watts when idle and has 53 wh battery. 8-10 watts of usage means 6 or more hours of gameplay for Xbox Ally which packs 60 wh battery. But the MSI Claw A1M is better for harder to
