Claw A1M-051US

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

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

r/handhelds is the only video games sub I follow. I'm amazed at how many people are collecting countless similar handhelds. Like, why would you need three DS, or a MSI Claw plus a Steamdeck?

Yeah man i agree, buying these expensive handhelds first is a no no for me. I got a msi claw am1 for 250 a few months ago bucks and that thing came out March 2024.

You're comparing the cheapest possible Steam Deck to much more highly specced systems. A 512GB Steam Deck OLED ($550) is only $50 less than the similarly specced ROG XBOX Ally ($600) that was just announced. The $350 Steam Deck is a decent device, but it has significantly performance and specs than

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.

I’ve had both, and to me it doesn’t matter how big the screen is when the device is uncomfortable. Plus, as you’ve mentioned, the MSI software is absolutely dogshit and, quite frankly, an embarrassment. I’m not sure about prices where you are, but the Claw is also £100 more expensive in the UK. One

VERY weird timing. I just sent back an MSI Claw I bought to give the windows handheld a try (have previously had a Steam Deck, sold it to a friend in need). I let the Claw go because it was a HUGE hassle software-wise and the phone gamepad combo was so much easier to just pick up and play. Not to me

True, but then again the Xbox Ally X nor MSI Claw 8AI+ didn't see the absurd prices the Legion Go 2 saw. So its definitely a major factor when you consider even Microsoft/Asus officially acknowledged how expensive an OLED screen is in today's market

Rog Xbox Ally X or MSI Claw 8ai+ I doubt ASUS will present much but MSI will so, although I'm leaning towards the XAX, I wasn't sure if I might miss out. But if ehat they present is something like 1200 or more I'm certainly not getting it
