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

To eGpu or not eGpu i need your guys help!
I got a TH3P4G3 with a RTX 3070 with my MSI claw A1M and it is correct on 1440p on most of my game, medium graphics, stable 60fps. You can go for it

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
