I’ve been a console gamer my entire life and lowkey I’m not sure I’ll ever get a console again after my PS5. In the past 2 years I’ve slowly gotten more into the PC space. AAA games take way too long to develop now and console exclusives are becoming less common over time; taking away the incentive for me to get a console bc I get eventually get those games with way better performance on my PC. I like that I don’t have to think about console generations and backwards compatibility bc virtually everything remains compatible on PC. My game purchases feel like a “forever purchase” (99% of the time save for some games being delisted). All this is to say that I’m way more excited about PC handhelds bc I can take my games with me anywhere without having to think about whether there’s a version made for portbale since PC gaming is already scalable to begin with. I’m just amazed at how much power can be packed in a portable device now, the fact that they’re even console-like is crazy. To me, handhelds are the new “consoles” and are future

[@Liquid-CO]

I feel the same way

[@xBINARYGODx]

I welcome both of you over to the Pc Gaming space! We play all the games - even Nintendo's!

[@Liquid-CO]

@@xBINARYGODx i started on console went to pc back to console during 360 era. Now yeah back on pc. lol

How do you add game saves from your PC to your MS I close

[@VeegovonDOOM]

What games can't you play that you can play on the rest of the handhelds?

[@D-Ross86]

I have been debating on buying the msi mainly because i like collecting these. I just got the GPD win4. It's nice, but i still just prefer the legion go.......

[@jonathont5570]

Not an insane increase when it ran like a dead dog at release... I would love to see the numbers, dont really need travel details, its portable, we get it.... How does it now compare to the others, is it worth buying or just wait now for the next gens in 2025.

[@D-Ross86]

My lenovo legion go is so impressive.....right now im running cyberpunk on high graphics using loosless scalling and mods. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I dont even touch my ROG ally or Steam DEck OLED anymore.

[@mrrelaxing6724]

How many FPS?

[@D-Ross86]

@@mrrelaxing6724 I maintain around 60

[@derbelgischefrank]

at the moment the claw s the last device..what you want to buy...the most games under 50 fps...

[@3Noodle_kid]

soo.. its a mini ms suface game pad

[@JoeyMSvosve]

Switch

[@virlanmarianbogdan653]

Better wait 2 more weeks buy asus rog ally x for the same money , better everything battery, display, performance and overall experience

[@NuckenFoob]

In the UK here the Claw top spec model is £699 so it will be cheaper than Ally X. From recent videos it looks like Claw performance is on par with the Z1 extreme since Ally didn’t refresh the chip. The display is also the exact same between claw and Ally. Ally doesn’t have Hall effect sticks so that’s a 3rd party upgrade and additional cost you need to consider, or just get lucky and don’t have to RMA when you get stick drift. Battery is where Ally X wins. But I don’t think it is as black and white as saying the Ally X is better in every aspect.

[@paulkendrick4153]

Steam Deck OLED

[@mrrelaxing6724]

Did you saw the msi claw 8 ai specs? Wait 2 months longer because if you buy the ally x u will regret it!

[@jonathont5570]

Lol asus, they hate their customers , have poor support and seem to always want to screw their customers.

[@bresoccercards6461]

South African?

[@JRChuxx]

If Microsoft brings out that xbox handheld with gamepass natively, it's ovah!

[@Resurgance_X]

Unless if it’s a cloud gaming only handheld

[@xBINARYGODx]

@@Resurgance_X thats not inline with the handheld phil talked about. He said it would be a local thing because that what people want and the market is operating in that way (the local run machines outsell the cloud only ones, and local gaming on phone outdoes streaming by a wide margin.
