Billbil-Kun: Xbox Rog Ally releases October 16

Poorly, just like all the other Ally units. Asus, MSI et all are iterating too much and flooding the market with units that all sorts of compromises. It confuses the average buyer - and you need their dollars for this concept to become a big enough hit to matter. Valve did it right. Keep the platfor

Is the Z2go really that bad?

Don't trust a single Fps Vn video. I'm someone who owns multiple handhelds and tests them regularly, and their videos are normally complete BS. They claim to have handhelds before release for example, the Legion Go 2 and the MSI Claw 8 AI+ before that was released. They never show actual footage fro

What’s everyone’s opinion on their new Xbox Ally a few hours later after using it?

Barely better than a rog ally X, and feels worse than msi claw 8 ai+, specially screen and battery. Performance wise, if you already have rog ally X or msi, there's no point in getting this one. If you dont have any pc handheld it's a good adquisition.

MSI skips RDNA 4 and will not manufacture AMD Radeon 9000-series GPUs

From randomly unlaunching their amd gpus to their ex ceo giving an interview sayin that they can't sell amd laptops because "intel is our friend and that would be like betraying intel", and taking intel's funding to launch the msi claw (which was a disaster on meteor lake), msi has never been a good

The only people who don’t like a Steam Deck, have never played one

I own one and I don't like it. I started off with allot of enthusiasm and even customized it with a larger SSD, hall effect joysticks, backplate, etc. Turns out I can't really get used to the control scheme as an old PC gamer. I need a mouse and keyboard. Granted, that's not a failure of the Steam D

Design is Unmatched, Real Shame

Non-functioning features that they're using as a selling point? As someone that plays a lot of FPS games, no gyro really is a deal-breaker for me. Since I first started buying handhelds from this company, I've probably forked over $5000 to them. In that time, the software experience has improved mar

Recently got into handhelds, don’t know what to choose.

I miss the Ally X. Software was great. Gyro controls, easy form factor and use. 7 inches though was too small for my approaching 42 year old eyes. Text especially. The MSI Claw 8ai is amazing. Absolute worst software ever though. Like, Legion Space was pretty bad, but Center M is a joke. Handheld Co

Well... i tested each of it

Tried ROG XAX and MSI Claw 8AI+ both, thought the performance and screen is superb, the rest is a downer (loosy Sticks, D-Pad, Vibration). On the other side the ROG XAX was great, but the screen just too small. I guess i'm waiting for the next handheld with Intel panther lake then.

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

iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original

Xbox Series S (with a current MSRP of $380) is not portable neither does it come with a display and speakers, a PC hardware sub of all people should know that portability carries price with it. The cheapest Steam Deck is $399 MSRP and it comes with a terrible screen and even older hardware. No MSI C
