Help me choose between Xbox ROG Ally X and MSI Claw A8
I was so on the fence between the two. Stats, hardware, and screen size had me leaning towards the MSI 8ai+ I went to my local best buy and was able to demo both of them. I walked out with the XAX 10 minutes later. The weight of the Claw was insane. I'm a decently strong/big guy so I was shocked it

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

Claw A8 vs XAX
I recently sold my Claw 8 AI+ and picked up the XAX today. Although different scenario to your Claw 8 since Intel provides the drivers, the MSI software really isn't great. So far I also prefer the smaller screen for portability reasons, with a less bulky body and nicer joysticks.

MSI Claw A8 Vs Claw 8 AI+ Ergonomics
I'll accept the downvotes OP because this is essentially the MSI Claw 8AI sub. The objective answer is that the A8 is more ergonomic, whatever your hand shape or size. It is both lighter and has actual grips to hold onto it.

Thinking Of Changing Legion Go 2 to the Claw 8 Ai Plus?
I've got both the Claw 8 AI+ and Legion Go 2 and been testing them both. Starting with the Claw, it does most things right such as: great speakers, decent screen, quiet fans, stays cool, fairly light and easy to carry outside of the house, better X,Y,A,B buttons than the Go 2 cos they're slightly la

Is there a Lego1 mod (oculink and SSD)
It’s pretty chunky I also have a aoostar ag02 with a 9070xt for my msi claw 8 ai, it’s quite a bit smaller and has a oculink port but I don’t like how the gpu is exposed .

Should I sell my MSI Claw 8ai+ for Xbox ally X because of bad ergonomics?
I just upgraded from the legion go s z2go to the msi claw 8ai+. I need the performance. But I think the xbox ally form factor is unmatched to this day. I’m used to the bulkiness ever since the steam deck though. If I’m really gonna be playing a handheld for long without a charger on me I actually op

MSI Claw A8 is a disappointment
Hey, I am thinking of buying a MSI claw (vs Xbox ally x) ambit what gives me a pause is my small hands may not be comfortable with claw 8. I went to Best Buy and tried the Xbox ally x and it felt really good. However, I have no comparison because they don’t have a claw on display. I do have legion g

Trifft es ganz gut tbh 👀
Ich persönlich hätte trotzdem gerne eine Portal 2 (oder pro) mit Oled Bildschirm. Wäre für mich ein Grund wieder eine PlayStation zu kaufen (neben ein paar anderen). Ich brauche keinen vollwertigen handheld, weil ich das Gerät nur nutzen will um abends im Bett zu zocken. Riesiger Vorteil von der Por
