Claw A8

I bought one recently and I'd say so. The thing is that while more powerful devices are coming out the performance ceiling for these things is still very low.

MSI Claw A8 (BZ2EM) - expensive tho

The switch 2 is a borderline scam unless you like Nintendo first parties and the steam deck is showing its age. If you can wait till the holiday season:ROG Xbox Ally X / ROG Xbox Ally This one is going to be the most powerful handheld that's available to you the fastest, but it's overpriced: MSI Cla

I just got a legion go s z1extreme steam os for 629€ new in Wallapop as seeing the z2 extreme us pretty underwhelmung and prices like the msi claw a8 being 1k are just not justified imo. There is Gon a be a lot of fomo so take advantage of it and maybe in a few months maybe you can get a z2extreme f
