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

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

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 can only keep one...
Msi claw A1m has a better ecosystem as you're pretty much free to play almost any game you want at a low price too because of steam and it can be modded while the switch undeniably gives the better experince with screen size and comfort but the games are limited, expensive and not moddable. However

I'm convinced I had a problem with buying handhelds this year.
Similar in my case.Got the Miyoo Mini Plus first and was happy with what it can do but wanted to at least play PSP on it. Then looked at the R36 and Trimui and noticed that not all PSP games are perfectly playable on it and so wanted more. Also wanted to play PC games on a handheld preferably. Then
