I love the design. I love my MSI Claw A8 and 8ai, but the ergonomics weren’t as good as the Steam Deck, Legion Go S, or Xbox Ally X. This looks like it fixes the only thing holding it back. I’m pumped if this is real.

Depends on how much you want to spend, your screen size preference, and weight. I’d consider the best to be the Xbox Ally X, MSI Claw A8, MSI Claw 7AI, and MSI Claw 8AI. These are the top performers for reasonable amounts of money. On the mid range you have the Legion Go, ROG Ally X, and ROG Ally. T

Game is obviously Mouse: P.I for Hire ;) Edit: this will be the last game I finish on my LCD Deck. Have got an MSI Claw A8 in transit as a long awaited upgrade. The Deck has just been the most brilliant hardware, as busy Dad with gaming squeezed into pockets of time with work days and young kids. I

In all fairness to MSI this is not a MSI exclusive issue. The Lenovo Legion has the exact same issues. This seems to be just as much an AMD issue as it is a manufacturer one. Yeah the manufacturers have to put in the work to release them but that's just as much AMD's fault for making it that way. If

Don't expect prices to decrease or even remain as now. Only up or they will just stop making handhelds because the prices will be absurd. Just get xbox ally x, or if you want bigger screen msi claw a8. Much better current prices than go 2.

I just paid 879 for my MSI Claw A8. Which has similar specs to the Ally X.

Tldr: tested several gaming handhelds trying to run Oblivion Remastered on the go. Key takeaways: • Steam Deck – great for older/backlog games, struggles with new AAA titles • Legion Go S Z1E – best all-rounder for most people, buy used for $500-700 • ROG Ally X – best for travelers, but the 7” scre

I own both the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and the MSI Claw A8, and I personally prefer the 8 AI+. The Claw A8 feels noticeably cheaper and lighter, whereas the 8 AI+ has a much more premium feel. The bumpers on the A8 are also a big downgrade. They're about half the size of the ones on the 8 AI+, and they wobbl
