Has anyone tried Winhanced on the MSI Claw 8 AI+? Does it work properly?
As others have stated I wouldn't bother with Winhanced on the MSI Claw 8AI +, at least not yet. I've tried it on and off for the past 6 months and often freezes, controller becomes a mouse pointer, games dont show up, TDP doesn't work etc. Its just not a priority for them, given its a somewhat uniqu

Has anyone been able to do an RMA from Latin America?
Ah man that sucks. I have been experiencing BSOD crashes ever since I got my Claw 8 Ai+ (more than a year ago), but they always halpen when I am doing something lightweight like browsing, or right after I click in system shutdown, never during gaming. But recently the inital one crash per month has

Win 11 IoT LTSC
That's exactly the Windows version I have been using on mine ever since I bought my Claw 8 Ai+ (in March 2025, so pretty much as soon as it became available). Unfortunately I have no reference how much better/faster it is compared to the default Win version it comes with, as I wiped my device as soo

Please help me decide
The white Xbox Rog Ally will probably be enough for what you are asking, but if you had trouble with SteamOS and you don't normally use windows, these aren't the devices for you. Steam Deck, save a few extra tweaks to do some emulation and get non steam apps in steam like Game pass streaming and suc

MSI Claw 8 AI+ vs ROG Xbox Ally X: Why is the MSI supposed to be better?
I tried both: I ended up sending the Claw back and keeping the Xbox Ally X. On paper, really, the Claw is better. If I just sat down and picked up a game, side by side, imo, the Claw is better. It has a much better screen (although the Ally X screen has some better VRR), it runs everything great. Bu

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

Szerintetek melyik jelenleg a legjobb kézi konzol?
Mondjuk a 7 óra üzemidő az combos. Amúgy a rog xbox ally x-nek nagyon kényelmes a tartása. Az msi claw 8ai plust sosem fogtam, de annál elvileg az inter proci miatt sok a stutter meg driver problema… Nekem azért lenne fontos, hogy az AAA is min 720p-b elmenjen problémamentesen, mivel csak ez az egye

Forza 6 can now preload on steam for premium users
My question to fellow legion go users - how fast do you expect the game to load? The 5th loads really slow on msi claw 8 ai+

Was about to get the Xbox Ally X until I discovered the claw and now can’t decide
I only have previous experience with the steam deck lcd, and I'm in the same predicament as OP about which one to choose between MSI claw 8 AI+ and Xbox rog Ally X. I'm not sure if the algorithm ended up biasing me to think the MSI is better, and especially after seeing so many comments about how th

Forza 7 on the claw 8 ai+
The game itself has a lot of issues. Even playing on an RTX 5070, I’ve had problems with load times and textures. When I tried it on my MSI Claw 8AI+, I was able to get it running decently, but the load times were still crazy. I also experienced texture issues and a few crashes.
