MSI Claw: Everything you NEED to know!

The MSI Claw just got updated! This is the latest handheld games console with a 120hz screen, VRR, 1TB SSD and hall effect triggers and thumbsticks. But have MSI done enough and how does it perform?
Today I’ll show you how it plays after the most recent update (BIOS E1T41IMS.108 & GPU 31.0.101.5445) on various games. Let me know what games I should play.

Have a good weekend gamers!

Howdy hey, sorry I'm late bit I absolutely LOVE your videos. If you could review the latest redmagic gaming phone that would be epic. Also, do you plan on trying to review the rivian r2 when it comes out in 2026

@@SpawnPoiint fr bro also keep on doing what u do bro

[@anywaays6992]

Makes me wonder why these updates aren’t integrated before releasing the product so it’s not just disregarded by customers due to horrible performance, but I guess this was the case with most of these PC handhelds

[@north.by.northeast]

There are almost always deadlines for products whether they be devices, components or games/software. Hit the deadline then deal with the issues after launch is widely (and sadly) standard practice.

[@Chris-sm2uj]

New releases are just beta testing nowadays

[@jasminepeng6364]

I think most Gaming Handheld brands have been through this, but the performance truly gets better and it's a huge gap which is cool! I'd like to get mine.

[@Skunk616]

I have one and it's fantastic. The only downside is that the microphone picks up every button Press you do

[@Jona276]

u keep motivating people to get this stuff. keep it up bro

[@SpawnPoiint]

Haha, not trying to motivate. Just provide my thoughts on each one.

[@PlanetNateGaming]

Can you do a video showing off Tekken 8? I'd really like to see how it compares to Steam Deck and ROG Ally.

[@alvinbontuyan279]

Excellent review. Now confused as to what handheld to choose. Considering the steam deck for its price but I really love the aesthetic and look of the ayaneo 2 compared to all others.

Could you test out Warhammer 3 total war, medium graphics, ultra unit scale?

[@rometherevenant8749]

I'd get this once it becomes more readily available and Intel updates those drivers. I recently got an ARC GPU to update my 1060 and I've been very impressed so far. Wouldn't have gotten it on day one, but I'm very glad that Intel is still updating their gpus. We need more competition in the gaming space.

[@mannyluches]

[@Blackthorn_6895]

I am playing on the Steam Deck OLED, and what games it supports is more limited compared to Windows Handhelds, I've accepted the limitations of Steam OS so I can have a better user experience, but I am always on the fence if buying the OLED steam deck was worth it, I was wondering how it stacks up against it?

[@PhoenixKeebs]

Tbh the Oled Steam deck is the best option. All these windows handhelds die in 30 minutes and they have a lot of stability issues, (even Rog ally). The fancy refresh rates and high amounts of RAM, is all for show. They don't get more than 50fps on 900p.

[@Doominater799]

The FPS depends on which game you play​. You are right for most of the part@@PhoenixKeebs

[@ladygaia4782]

@@PhoenixKeebsi have the ally and it even reaches 120 fps on so many games so I don’t really know what you’re talking about

[@dawidaleksanderwitkowski7455]

There is no doubt that the rog ally z1 extreme is more powerful than steam deck but if you want that ease of use and console like experience, steam deck is the way to go plus if you like to play on battery than you definitely want the steam deck oled.

[@OGBDB]

For Xbox do you have access to your full library or just game pass?

[@josefavela9668]

Good question

[@MrNickpeck36]

The Gamepass app does list PC games that you own via the Windows store app or from play anywhere titles. They are listed in their own section separately.

[@DatGrease]

alot of these handhelds have great hardware but what's keen to understand is the software when it launches it's like Windows Vista lol but luckily a lot of these companies especially valve new this was a long term investment so luckily now most handhelds feel like a good Windows 10 experience. I was first hesitant at getting a Linux device but glad I bought my deck almost 2 yrs ago. I definitely like Intel so it'll be great to see how well Thier software does in the long run consi for the next good ten year's were gonna get handhelds after handhelds which is my childhood come true.
