    Setup takes a little bit and the settings need to be tinkered with. Its all worth it. Playing battlefield 6 beta easily. Jedi Survivor, cyberpunk, the works.

    Having tried several handhelds, this one excels in almost all fronts. The audio is unmatched, that buttons are extremely smooth and well built, the battery is a beast, and almost all aaa games are above average settings. hard to go wrong. My only gripe is the grips are not as comfortable as the a8 or the 7ai+

    I was never a handheld gamer but i figured i would give this a shot. I have not put this down since i got it. I love gaming on the MSI Claw. I find it very nice to be able to pick it up and start playing my game. I was surprised at how well this little machine handles the gaming, but the intel chip and arc handle everything very well.

    Finally was able to get my hands on the Claw and it performs amazingly...thats if the game is optimized and better if they support XESS.

    Its a tiny powerhouse, I can play Cyberpunk 2077 at high frame rates as well as Battlefield 6. One catch is the MSI UI is crappy and glitches often.

    Love this thing, intel has also been pushing out frequent driver updates which have greatly improved performance. It’s also the best at power efficiency so you can actually game on the go without the battery dying.

    Powerful hand handle device , most game runs a decent FPS . The hardware it self is comfortable but the Dpad unfortunately has a poor design. After 4 weeks in wore out and got stuck in the down direction. Other than that is a good console . Had to take it back and luckily I had my total reward protection plan and got full refund since there were no more in stock. I just pre order Leonovo legion go 2 instead
