Great handheld PC with a few quirks
I really love my Claw A8, the screen, performance, battery life and speakers are all fantastic. A few things I think could use some work are the comfort of the grips as they are incredibly uncomfortable especially coming from a Steam Deck. Also, Windows Full Screen Experience is terrible and I installed Bazzite after a day and it's so much better. Overall, I'm really happy with the system.

With Bazzite
I wanted something slightly larger and more powerful than the Steam Deck OLED, which led me to the Claw A8. I immediately installed Bazzite. I noticed TDP controls were wonky so I installed SimpleDeckyTDP and now its awesome. Great battery life and performance.

Good Device.. But a better experience with Bazzite
The device performs really well. The windows experience can be a bit cumbersome even with FSE. It runs smoothly with Bazzite. Wish the rumble motors were better. The grips are good but I’ll be getting silicone grips from better ergonomics.
