I might of broke my Xbox ally

It’s just IPS glow / backlight bleed very common on the original ROG Ally / Ally X models as well as the new Xbox-branded ones. The display will always have some level of this effect. Some units are minimal, while others can be worse. The one at the bottom is from adhesive under the display causing

“What is the best handheld gaming device to buy as of March 2026?” MSI Claw AI+ 7/8 ,Rog X

I'll give my opinion as someone who owns multiple handhelds, including the ROG Ally / Xbox Ally X and all models of the MSI Claw. Since you already have a good PC, the first thing to think about is whether you actually need a handheld. Yes, it's great for portability, but do you realistically plan t

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

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.

Is Xbox Ally X reliable for sleep/wake from Hibernate ? Came from Msi Claw

Yes, I came from an MSI Claw A1M too, and the Xbox Ally X just works on everything. MSI is useless at fixing these things, or probably other handhelds too, as I had an Onexplayer and an Aokzoe before this. I guess being partners with Microsoft has its perks with Windows.

I really don't know which one to keep…

300€ is a Whole MSI Claw A1M price more. Not worth it especially if already good PC at home. Keep the money or spend in a new better screen at home

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
