AMD’s Jack Huynh on RDNA 3.5 FSR 4.1 support: “I did not say it’s coming”
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

Lenovo“There are no further updates for the graphics card driver of theLegion Go 1.”
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.

First time posting here, which one should I get?
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)

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

Are there any good handhelds under 300$ That arent arm64? (Not the deck)
Same here with an RP5, I see MSI Claw A1Ms go for <$300. I looked into an Odin 3 before this and realised it was a fool’s errand when the Claw will run more games faster on the first try, without wasting huge amounts of time and effort, caring about drama or waiting for component updates lmao

NGL this place is killing my desire to play
Wow, that's brutal. My weakest hardware is MSI Claw A1M and it used to run 60fps on low just fine. Last patch downgraded my fps for long sessions in Axion, but it wasn't like this.

MSI Claw A1M worth it in 2025?
Claw a1m is much better now, intel drivers are better now , it has a better cpu , it just need manual optimization, without optimization, the gpu only uses 8 to 10 watts even plugged in with performance power plan , but after optimization it can reach 15-20 watts , yeh some older games will not work

Dear Valve, please save us
