[@bbeal2325]

I heard it's very disappointing

[@HanmaHeiro]

You've heard right. Unfortunately this video was sponsored by MSI. Which funnily enough there have been thoughts that Intel gave some major incentives to MSI in order to create this device using Intel mobile graphics in order to compete with steam deck and others

[@rodiscovery]

Love the elegant black look and how u hold it looks very comfortable!

[@clem9808]

Just ordered it. It's my first handheld since 2012(psp) , and I couldn't be more excited. 🔥

[@jasminepeng6364]

My friend got one, I tried his. I have to say overall the feel when I have in my hand is quite comfortable. I'd like to get mine soon.

[@annhsu3437]

Nice review! I like that they put the MSI Center into the claw.

[@yunchinchen3342]

I got one last week, it runs smoothly. Really nice!

[@user-cb4mh9oj3w]

OMG that RGB on all buttons is sick!!!

[@robert547_6]

Is it not the same as an asus rog ally??

[@user-hi7ki2pl6l]

amazing, and the game experience looks smooth!

[@lovepobby]

I've tried it few days ago and it runs smooth then I expected!

[@NatesRandomVideo]

Gamers Nexus says no, it's a no...

[@ChristopherToro]

Maybe, think for yourself?

[@NatesRandomVideo]

@@ChristopherToro I do. They’re not paid to review things, they bought it and weren’t provided it free, and their technical assessments appear to be correct - from my thirty years in the industry. MSI missed the mark in comparison to others.

[@BloodGTRproductions]

​@@ChristopherTorowhat's your reaction to that information

[@LucianPSimracing]

@@ChristopherToro GN has good arguments why this should be avoided, the performance is simply disappointing. If you still want to buy it then you either do it because you like how it looks and you don't really care about performance, or you play really simple games that work fine regardless.

[@Pandaa123-jw8qh]

​​​​​@@ChristopherToroEver heard of "research"? Unless they have a lot of money to spare, this isn't something someone would buy just by deciding by themselves. It just happened that OP found a reliable source, in his opinion, and made a decision based on it.

[@olananinha2594]

like the design and with driver u[adted the performance got improved a lot!

[@berightback91]

perfect for travel and it looks so comfy

[@januschih-yunkuo8069]

The grip feel is good, battery life is acceptable n screen is super awesome😎

[@Ryuk_1707]

I was wondering, if you gonna do a video of Sony Ult wear headphones?

[@greenlin0720]

it looks quite beautiful and solid.

[@linlian2402]

Wow, didn't expect dats hall effect joystick, awesome!

[@Osamah001]

how many hours it last for one full charge ?

[@KuyangAndroid19]

does it function like a normal PC?

[@OledBurnInKing]

I'm curious about the msi claw gaming performance when overclocking the cpu to the highest tdp and to the highest clock speeds for the cpu and gpu highest clock speeds for better performance with msi after burner with games maxed out graphics settings enabled with native resolution always enabled and upscaling always off. There are barely or no videos about anyone overclocking the msi claw with msi after burner. Overclocking is still available but hardly ever mentioned since there are hardcore overclocking users for cpu and gpu performance when trying to utilize the hardware to there maximum capabilities. I hope that there will be an Intel core i9 processor on the next gen handheld gaming device since I was hoping that the msi claw was going to have the Intel core i9 flagship processor for gaming since the intel core i9 are on gaming laptops but still use mobile processors on gaming laptops and mobile handheld gaming devices. I would replace the stock cpu fans with noctua fans for better cooling, quieter performance and better reliability that noctua has always been known for compared to any stock cpu fans from Intel or amd that are being used in any laptop and desktop pc.

[@leo-ub6nb]

I can’t knock him on this one. EVERY tech reviewer has been making their rounds with the MSI Claw.

[@caffreyhsu194]

Might be the best joystick by bar for handheld, nice one MSI!

[@_AprilLuz]

Can i add an extra controller on it ?

[@waxsa2945]

I'm glad MSI thought of the interface issue. With the MSI Center M, it does help.

[@JonaWu67]

Having owned one, I can say it's pretty good as a first gen. Intel is also stepping up their game for the updates. Would hope XeSS1.3 drops asap though, would be a game changer.

[@PhillsLifestyle]

Yeah a review will be good. 🙌

[@zenaidatolentino6944]

Can I add switch games or any pc games I want

[@deyarhawramy]

I would suggest you’d do a follow up full review of it, I understand this is first impressions which is okay, but this device has lots of problems that need to be discussed if not shown then basically all of your product shows and videos would be questionable since it seems too obvious to everyone that truthfulness hides behind sponsorships.

[@MO997]

Exactly money changes honesty to some

[@dwaynenoel1268]

Please review the Asus ROE Alley and do a comparison. I think your fans would appreciate you for that.

[@daisyyang5312]

it looks so good, can't wait to get one!

[@chiizuu752]

Yeah bro go scam yourself by buying the Claw instead of the other better options 🔥

[@g85222456]

I got one and it's really not that bad as those reviews said. The grip is good, screen is good and both Intel & MSI update the software and driver frequently so the performance is getting better

[@yusifr1]

Rog ally is a more rounded device, i love all these handhelds though happy to see tech progressing at the rate it is.

[@wuruby5045]

Thanks for the review! The MSI Claw is definitely on my radar now. Seems like a fantastic device.🎮

[@Wakaweakweak7474]

Trash compare to legion go, rog ally and steamdeck OLED

[@dwaynenoel1268]

Really look into the Asus roe Alley

[@user-vx4gr9cq5m]

just got one, rlly surprised by its battery life😮😮

[@bestechYtBotBH]

A fingerprint sensor on a handheld gaming device. That is crazy!!! 😎

[@sherrycafe]

looks nice, I would like to got one

[@EliFlexxinn]

I think I’ll go buy a claw, it looks dope!

[@realbarries]

I want this just to use as a handheld FLStudio 😂 idk how well that would work

[@user-pq3vn6jj9f]

wow beatiful design~nice look

[@danielboy1973]

Really wanna get one!

[@danellboy5757]

The name "claw" reminds of what I had to do when playing my psp lol

[@darnellharvey9069]

Hey it's a step up from my switch. I deploy a lot and it's good to play console games without taking my PS5. Also I'm sure MSI will tweak and optimize it for the end users. I'm all for it, just have to be patient. Ya dig.

[@michaelchang2140]

Actually looks really decent and smooth

[@pookj121]

very nice design. Just tried it at the store last week and got one already.

[@dwaynenoel1268]

How do you still like it? I got the Asus ROE Alley and I am in love?

[@MobileDecay]

​@@dwaynenoel1268He threw it in the trash.

[@anonymousyac9906]

full review plz

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

4:05 Did that thing had a Lag there? On maximizing a Windows Explorer Window?! 9:26 okay Games are okay, but AVG tbh I would loved to see more Gameplay Running on that thing than Chassis analysis. You know, don’t get me wrong like your videos ❤ but it’s a bit sus that the gaming part was so small on a device, a device which is meant to run games the majority of the time and it fails on rendering window maximizing fluently? Mmmm I donno. Maybe it was a list of things that needed to be displayed by MSI.

[@dreamforger7166]

Disappoint that this and Rog Ally did not come with a case

[@joanne032231]

The grip feel looks cool. Center M and battery life are amazing!

[@skyhi9h]

Oh wow no lag gameplay. Other channels lied. Thank You Judner!!!

[@turkhi]

The D-pad looks terrible.I'd like to know about the sound system tho🤔 Looks promising but I'd say a second more thorough review of this thing is needed until then Imma stick with my Deck peace...

[@hoshikuzuvenus]

Uraverage sponsored content devoid of real criticism

[@JayTea93]

Nice !!

[@thegoblinsam]

Thanks for the review !! like to see how you test the battery life ? my Claw run double times longer than my Ally. I'd kinda shocked about this.

[@tyronecummins4206]

Everybody should wait on the ally 2 and legion go 2

[@finalhazard247]

Ayeee I needed a review of this!

[@p7689sstan]

Love your review style !!! Like after this video, I'm going to buy one claw for myself 🤩🤩🤩

[@JC94]

ROG Ally master race 🤙🏻

[@allenchi1004]

I got one recently and I will say so far it's quite good.

[@YangOfelia]

It looks quite solid!! kind of funny how it can also be used as a windows PC, definitely a plus for me though!

[@MikeCriticalOps]

On paper it looks really good but the performance is worse than a steam deck. So no matter what game you play it will have to be all low to reach 30 fps pretty much

[@turkhi]

My favorite KZbinr shout out man😊

[@guess199]

I was so excited for it then it was released. So disappointed. Sticking with my SD and Rog ally.

[@martgildivina]

This thing only good if it has a physical games like desktop gaming computer or nintendo switch are doing so people who find it hard to buy digital games can also buy cheap used physical games if not brandnew! That’s how it should work and atleast it can also play all mobile games for the rest of its life, in my opinion that’s a win win!

[@aranperumal]

0:10 ❤

[@mindofmatt_2240]

ROG Ally >

[@bilalkhichi6554]

Legion go is best handheld with greatest screen greatest refresh rate detached controllers fps mode among all handhelds

[@jeebu.h]

Thank you for the nice review. It's actually much better than what I expected!!

[@andrenapper8802]

Having owned a few MSI laptops at work for our design department. The graphics card is always the first to go. I hope this isn't the case with this with a better design

[@PhoachPlaylist]

Well, fortunately, and unfortunately, at the same time... it doesn't have a graphics card. Just the CPU.

[@PhoachPlaylist]

Well, in fact, all of these hand-helds have no graphics cards. But the steam deck and the Z1 Extreme devices use an APU. Which, in fact, is a type of CPU, but with a higher performing integrated graphics. Kinda like the consoles (xbox/playstation), but the MSI is using a more simple approach. The same CPU that any new laptop with the core ultra 7 in it.

[@realdogtrainer3612]

I returned mine after 3 hours of piss poor performance and all the games I tried. I mean, if people actually like this thing, all the power to you

[@feliciano19799]

wait... at 4:05 it could even be a small PC? never imagined a handheld could do so

[@marshalllussier7024]

Rog already did it

[@MyurrDurr]

Every PC handheld can be a regular computer because they are a computer just small and with a built in controller , seventh Steam Deck which runs Linux is just a normal computer when you switch to desktop mode

[@marshalllussier7024]

@@MyurrDurr that’s what I said… it’s already been done… but the steam deck isn’t competitive is the handheld space anymore

[@redbluefish]

anyone played COD : Modern warfare PC? can it start?

[@fairytale780]

Have seen many good reviews on this one...cooling, feels lighter than the actual weights, long battery life. I'm going to get one!

[@BasilNadeem]

rog ally is the best overall handheld tbh

[@user-hn1yw9rh8p]

yeah , BTW watch out the smallest battery and burnt SD card reader

[@ManDontBrag]

@@user-hn1yw9rh8p Still better than what's available now

[@Darius97077]

I really tried with this device, it is the absolute worse for the money if it was like 2 or 300 dollars cheaper I could stand behind it but for 50 dollars less a legion go out performs it plus it comes with a case,

[@user-hn1yw9rh8p]

lenovo legion go only got half fps compare msi claw , go find some where else AMD BOT

[@user-hn1yw9rh8p]

legion go worse fps than msi claw , go check it .... stop being AMD BOT

[@Darius97077]

@@user-hn1yw9rh8p no, i had the msi claw the reason i returned it is because my legion go has better fps i tested every game on both devices. how am i a bot for choosing a better device and returning the one that lacked performance mind you had the 155h ultra 7 it was terrible compared to the LeGo

[@anthonyh2884]

Talk to me about emulators!

[@yu-anchen7307]

I got hands on a few days ago, to be fair, the buttons feel great more than I expected. It's a bit heavy but means bigger battery, so overall still pretty great

[@choqao]

[@delandostayreal288]

It cost more than a PlayStation five wow

[@andrewooo86]

Looks like a gamegear

[@CDubbsW0rld]

This aint it lol

[@TheProlificTree]

This might be the one to finally get me to bite on one of these

[@smaao]

Hey, I've read some reviews and it seems like this product is a total mess. I'd suggest waiting for newer models from companies like Lenovo or looking at other options.

[@user-hn1yw9rh8p]

thanks for the review !! both yours and the review from theRelaxingEnd show that performance is not that worse, at least not like GamerNexus talk about. But AMD fans won't like to hear this LOL. You probably will get lots of comment later , say Legion go the best , Ally the best blablabla , as what they did in therelaxingend review😂

[@COddietsch]

I have tried them all and for me they are all disappointing. Even the ROG Ally with the Extreme that I did a tons of research on and was rated as the best on the market. Steam OLED is overrated because it only has an 800 screen (kinda pointless) so I am left with my iphone 15 Pro Max and trying to get a remote that fits it or my ipad. Think about it, if games on a PC require power to look and perform well... why in the world do we get subpar gaming specs in mobile devices and they say just because it's small it doesn't need as much power. They are wrong.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That charger is bigger than my cell phone charger. Lol

[@jaughnekow]

RGB on tech products are oversaturated honestly

[@kobeandgary]

So don't use it?

[@jaughnekow]

@@kobeandgary i dont

Yoo

[@antoniopascual6891]

$ 700 is insane.. this handheld is the worst compared to ally, steam deck, legion go... maybe 200-300 is fine...

Don't bother folks, Get A Rog Ally or Steam Deck

What’s going on, guys?

WEIRD, EVERYONE THAT REVIEWS THIS CALLS IT JUNK, TRASH, THIS DUDE NEEDS TO REVIEW THE ALLY THEN COME BACK TO THIS LOL

guess what , those review call it junk don't dare to give battery , temperature and sound side by side pk , only point is the performance better in cyberpunk , I don't play this game so I think those review kind of junk and AMD BOT

[@Sleepy.Time.]

bad frame rate, runs very hot, is overpriced and you have to deal with garbage intel GPU drivers...not just a pass but a Oh Hell No pass
