Is the black bars a deal breaker?
Yes get either that A8 you posted or the MSI Claw 8AI+. Both are great. The A8 will be better if you want to use Linux. If not then both are about the same. Don't get MSI Claw A1M it's very weak compared to the Claw 8 models.

Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Panther Lake leak reveals Xe3 Arc GPU performance in Geekbench. This is Panther Lake chip which possibly will be used in next gen MSI Claw.
First MSI Claw A1M (Ultra 7) scored higher than Z1E in Time Spy and Fire strike, but there was barely any game that ran better on Claw A1M vs Z1E, and some games really struggled, I know because I had every major Z1E handheld and Claw A1M. On the flip side 8AI is so powerful, I can't believe how wel

Minecraft: Vulkan vs OpenGL B580
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.

Surprised by how ignorant/unprofessional youtubers are
ETA Prime is one of the worst YouTubers who "reviews" handhelds since he's a massive shill who doesn’t even try to hide it, and he’s posted misleading benchmarks in the past. In a video showcasing the ROG Ally X vs the Legion Go 1 head-to-head, he left the Legion Go 1 at a lower VRAM allocation. He

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

Please help me.
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

I am IN A MENU!
Didn't notice something strange on my laptop (ryzen 7 8845hs 32gb ram rtx 4070m) But I did with my Msi Claw A1M. Before yesterday it was smooth 60fps gameplay (albeit with low-med graphics). Now after 30 mins of gameplay i get stutters. After reloading game it goes fine for another 30 mins. Idk.

Question about SD Cards
I have a MSI Claw A1M and I don't know if my unit is faulty but microSD cards are more or less unusable with it the normal way sadly. When the device heats up so does the microSD card until it starts thermal throttling. Then it will randomly stutter for 2-3 seconds every now and then which is very a
