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

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

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

Ogólnie jak nie nastawiasz się na długie godziny pracy na baterii i super osiągi to fajna sprawa np w podróż albo do pracy na nudną n

What to do, stuck in some kind of FOMO mindset?

I was in a similar situation. Really like the concept of the steam deck but its old tech for its price. Settled for a new MSI Claw A1M ultra 7 for £350 , once you get past updates and software tweaks its great fun.
