Claw A1M

It makes ALL Intel handhelds more appealing, even old ones. Even the ancient MSI Claw A1M (Intel's first PC handheld) received Xess 3.0 and 3-4x Multi Frame Gen support which basically doubled/tripled framerates. While today's Claw 8AI+ achieves double the framerates as the Z2 Extreme with Multi Fra

Yeah, with my two MSI Claw A1M and AI+, you just need to download the drivers from the Intel website. And every month there are new ones to optimize the games that come out. And recently XeSS 3.0. It's really excellent.

between these two, go with msi claw a1m. Drivers are much better now compared to how it performed on release (it was worse than steam deck)

I’m surprised, I remembered OGL support on Intel graphics being super behind. Last time I tried Minecraft on my Msi claw A1M, I needed the vulkan mod to hit way more than 70 fps without any shader and with sodium + the other optimizing mods.

Yes, I came from an MSI Claw A1M too, and the Xbox Ally X just works on everything. MSI is useless at fixing these things, or probably other handhelds too, as I had an Onexplayer and an Aokzoe before this. I guess being partners with Microsoft has its perks with Windows.

Thing is that $250 gets you the BC-250 mobo. You need PSU, cooling, and maybe a case (3D printed or similar). It takes DIY to the next level, and is basically only for people whose time isn't worth money. MSI Claw A1M went to $350 a couple of times, if you are ok with 16 GB shared memory and trading
