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

Is the $449 USD Nintendo Switch 2 the best deal in handheld gaming now considering it can even do 1440p-4k 60-120fps gaming when docked on optimized titles? Specially in a world of $800 USD Steam Deck OLED, $1300 Z1E Legion Go S and $2000 Legion Go 2

I actually might say the MSI Claw A1M, Xbox Ally, and the Switch 2 are the best deals

Top three handhelds to own first

R36s for 30 bucks plus the grip for 7 bucks. If not budget, I like the suggestion the other guy made for a handheld PC like used rog ally or msi claw a1m... If you can find for under 300. Then you could also use a old s21 ultra or equivalent. So many options

msi claw a1m (ultra7) vs asus rog xbox ally

Keep the MSI Claw A1M unless you specifically need Linux support. The ROG Ally Z1E (white model) suffers from similarly poor battery life, with most AAA games lasting around an hour. The joysticks aren’t hall effect like those on the MSI Claw A1M, making them prone to stick drift. The SD card slot i

Which handheld to choose

LeGo: has detachable controllers Z1E 8.8" Display 16GB of RAM Option for SteamOS Decent performance, big screen and the "switch feeling", but the battery is quite bad. So you would have to do the batter upgrade if you want longer sessions Rog Ally: Either Z1 or Z1E 7" Display 16GB RAM Option for Ste

Leaks for new claw

This, I know people that found Steam Deck prices fine and anything below 800 euro acceptable. Friend of mine got a MSI Claw 8 AI+ for 850 euro a while ago and said "this is the top of what these things are worth, otherwise a gaming notebook of even a desktop make more sense". And I agree, got my Ste
