msi claw a1m (ultra7) vs asus rog xbox ally
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

Wtf is wrong with the gamepad controls (acceleration woes)
I play the game on a handheld pc (MSI Claw A1M) and I have honestly no problems with the controls. and I just entered the last zone. I think it might be your controller.

Handheld collection go brrr🥶
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

I Installed CachyOS on My MSI Claw A1M... Here's What Happened
Thanks for the detailed reply, really appreciate it! That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m hoping these videos help with. The MSI Claw A1M can be a bit awkward under Linux, especially when it comes to handheld controls, HHD/InputPlumber, and getting everything behaving properly, so it’s good to hear

Tempted need advice
I own multiple handhelds, and my personal favourite is the MSI Claw 8 AI+. It's expensive at times, but you can often find it on sale. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V delivers great performance, and the build quality is excellent. Depending on where you live, you can also find the older MSI Claw A1M mod

Msi Claw A1M (Ultra 7 155H) vs rog ally z1e?
I still test the MSI Claw A1M models regularly, as well as the ROG Ally and other handhelds. The MSI Claw A1M models are not on the same level as the ROG Ally and the Z1 Extreme. I'd be interested in what games they claim run better on the MSI Claw A1M when compared to the ROG Ally Z1E because every

How is your Steam Deck doing ?
I've got MSI Claw A1M and... 1080p/120hz screen, 1TB nvme and hall sticks are nice, but at the end of the day, Steam OS makes experience way more seamless and polished than janky, bloated Windows 11 with various MSI overlays that constantly have issues. On top of that, the Claw power draw vs perform

Anyone gone from the deck to a better performing handheld, but continued to use their deck?
Got MSI Claw A1M. It has better performance, screen and joysticks, but TDP is absolutely awful. Running it on max TDP kills battery in 1h 15m. Even on lowest TDP it's bad, as it can't go below 20W. Steam Deck is wayyy more efficient with TDP scaling making it great for battery for less demanding gam

I tested SteamOS 3.8.10 on the MSI Claw A1M — mixed results so far
Je n’ai pas encore testé le contrôle du TDP en profondeur sur SteamOS 3.8.10. De base, les choses principales fonctionnaient bien sur mon MSI Claw A1M : contrôleur, écran tactile, audio et Wi-Fi. Mais pour le contrôle précis du TDP, je pense qu’il faudra probablement un plugin ou un outil séparé. Je
