Ally running SteamOS, Portal with Cloud Game Streaming and MSI Claw 8 AI+ for all the hardcore AAA stuff. We are spoiled for choice.

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

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.

Mais pour le contrôle précis du TDP, je pense qu’il faudra probablement un plugin ou un outil séparé. Je

This thing is phenomenal!

She's a Beaut! & I'm not just talking about the Claw! 😜 I'm still rockin an MSI Claw A1m and I LOVE it! It can play just about everything I throw at it, I mean sure it won't be in 4k or anything, but with the screen being as small as it is, I could care less. I just got a Lenovo Legion laptop from m
