Do "gamers" really care about RGB lights and "True Gaming" slogans? That looks just so cringe and 90s-edgy to me.

The inner part of the thumb sticks might be a touch pad just like the steamdeck where you can map some controls for it. That's why the texture is smooth. I noticed that majority of the people doesn't know that the inner part of steamdeck's thumb sticks are touch pads. And it might be on the msi claw as well.

I really hope they do a refresh with the same shell, and swap the bumpers and the CPU to better ones (8840u). That'd be a cool handheld.

As a deck owner: the only chance I'll ever switch to any other handheld is if its 1: optimized tailored gaming OS(LINUX) 2: trackpads(super important, they've got to be usable unlike ayaneo kun) 3: accessbility. 4: using steam input(Literally a must!) Other than that, it doesnt matter for me what handheld comes to the market unless it revolutionizes controllers & gaming to be more optimized. This is just my opinion. Also I wished valve made a steam controller 2.0 cause i just cant see myself using traditional controllers anymore 😭
@jackykwan2580 3 ай бұрын
Trackpads are clunky to use. Just remap both joystick to mouse and use the 2 shoulder buttons as right and left click. Trackpads are laptop stuff don't belong to a handheld.

MSI Claw actually has much more performance then the competition like the Deck, the big issue is complete lack of support from games. The Claw CPU and GPU are of new design that no game or really or program supports well so a lot of performance and compatibility is lost, in supporting synthetic benchmark Claw beats its competition easily.
@MalamIbnMalam 3 ай бұрын
Theoretically speaking, how powerful do you believe the iGPU is in comparison to the iGPU on the Z1 extreme?
@ChibiTheEdgehog 3 ай бұрын
This will be the same as laptops. Intel will do well until the Radeon graphics show up. This has been the reality for a good long while. Even when Intel had better CPU performance, it got railed by AMD APU in games. Also Arc isn't the only tech being upgraded and tweaked via drivers l. The competition isn't just sitting idle

most reviewers have shown hardly over an hour battery life. aslo the ultra 5 is beating the ultra 7 right now in most games. you had total system power at 45w on a 53wh battery. im hoping with updates this will out do the go and ally but i dont count on intel updates. this thing need to be 300 less. ally extreme best buy is 600 and legion go 2tb microcenter is 750 both out performing and with better battery life. it hardly beats steam deck oled at 550.
@StewdioGamer 3 ай бұрын
Not sure why others are saying an hour but it depends on what you are playing. I’ve played many games at a minimum of two hours actual playtime not just a conversion. I have seen others say the ultra 5 out performs the ultra 7 which is crazy I’m surprised by that. I personally don’t think this device can compete with ally or legion go even with updates but I hope they surprise us all!

@@StewdioGamer I dont think Ally 2 will be much better. The biggest thing they can do is refine the same chip but drastically increase the battery life.

How can you tell a laptop that it is short while having good launch performance. something that the Ally didn't have and had a lot of jerks. You only gave performance tests. He is running with launch drivers and they are already drawing conclusions. na you are trilis. How can I not recommend a laptop with a good launch just a drivers update. na you guys are crazy. later they can do a vs. but no conclusion can be drawn yet. I have my Ally, Deck and Claw. And I really like how it started. if you have to improve. Be clearer on the hate issue.
