What would you upgrade to from a steamdeck OLED?
The contenders Legion Go 2 - best screen, table top mode if thats important to you. Very heavy and uncomfortable to hold. Stick position isnt great. Audio isnt great. Fan noise. 720p and 900p look too blurry on a larger screen. Bad software. Loose sticks MSI Claw A8 - 8inch screen is the perfect siz

Steam Deck vs Legion Go S SteamOS
alright I'll bite. I've owned the Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, MSI Claw 8 AI+, Legion go S and Legion go 2. I am a life long xbox and pc gamer. I did have a PS3 and PS4 but didn't ever end up with a PS5. Steam Deck got me back into handheld gaming. I had it for about a year and sold it to get something w

Steamdeck alternative for current AAA games
The Deck runs a four-core Zen 2 CPU. The Go S has two SKUs, the Z2 Go has a four-core Zen 3+ CPU whereas the Z1 Extreme variant has an eight-core Zen 4, so it's already far better than the Deck. You could also get some of the alternate Z1 Extreme devices, such as the Legion Go, ROG Ally, or the ROG

MSI Claw 8 AI Better?
Ive had a claw 8ai quite recently, now own a legion go 2. In my opinion when you move up to an 8in screen it makes a huge difference, now im playing on the lego 2 with its 8.8in it makes my steam deck look comically small... However if you are quite used to a 7in screen then moving to another 7in sc

Msi Claw A8 in white.
What I like:The performance is great – I’m getting about 15% more power in my games. I mainly play RPGs and pixel games. On the ROG Ally, I got around 75–100 FPS, while on the MSI Claw I’m getting 85–120 FPS on high settings. I dont play AAA games on my handhelds like God of War or so. The screen is

Msi Claw A8 in white.
How cheap does the Claw A8 actually feel? And how is the cooling performance? I'm still deciding between the Legion Go 2, Claw A8, and Claw A8 AI+.What bothers me about the Legion Go 2 are the detachable controllers, the overwhelming number of buttons, and the heavy weight.With the Claw A8, my conce

Opinions on Flip 1S DS vs KB? Especially if you own either.
My honest opinion though, grab a legion go 2. I got ROG ally, MSI claw 8ai, ayaneo flip 1s DS, and legion go 2. LeGo 2 is the best. That 8.8 inch OLED VRR display alone is worth it, especially if you love crpg games, which have lots of readings. I know you want(probably NEED) a keyboard, but still..

Suggestions on a handheld?
Honestly that green is hideous though lol The 8 ai actually looks really nice. I was just afraid of msi products. I never had much luck with them and everything always felt cheap.

Received the updated Aoostar AG02 egpu dock
I got mine today, to pair up with the Aoostar WTR Max which didn't seem to like the Minisforum DEG1 when I upgraded from RX6600/6750 XT to the RX9070XT. I got it working with both oculink and usb/tb, which was nice as the WTR Max was always a bit temperamental with TB eGPUs (eg GPD G1 and Razer Core

What handheld is the best for replacing all my lost gaming devices?
Xbox Ally X is the best do-everything handheld IMO. Good performance, battery, great ergonomics, just a perfect all-in-one package. MSI Claw 8ai+ is a little less refined but has a bigger 8 inch screen. However, I wouldn’t recommend either to fully replace a gaming PC. If you want raw performance, t
