    I do agree that it is still very early and we should expect updates, but also I don’t give them a pass because they should have looked at the improvements that the competition made and implemented those from the very beginning. They are releasing a product after their established counterparts, it should be better not worse. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      @@CJKnowsTECH no doubt. I also kinda don’t trust Intel because I have an Intel handheld from a few years ago (OneXplayer 1s) and it’s still getting driver updates, but it’s STILL doesn’t outperform the AMD chips from when it was released. (5000 series) if it takes a year for the claw to be the best version of itself, by that time the next generational AMD handouts will be out it yet again.
      I love handhelds, and excited for the future, but the Claw really seems like a miss especially at $800.

    I just bought an ALLY Z1X today. Not sure what I think so far (but, I much prefer my SD OLED up to this point); however, I really do not understand why every review says the Ally is the most pleasing. I think that, while it looks much better (and feels great) IRL, I think the Claw, Deck and GO look much, much better aesthetically. I am partial to black consoles, but even so I don't know how anyone could think the Ally looks anywhere near the Claw. I have zero interest in the Claw, but I'll keep it a buck: It looks way better, aesthetically, to me.

    the only problem with this MSI hendheld device is : it is using the STANDARD THIN ULTRABOOK laptop chips found in "business" laptops. its not for gaming. the Z1 extreme is a CUSTOM chip made for gaming.
    MSI simply use the standard laptop chip.and not any laptop, its a THIN business laptops.
    they could order for a CUSTOM core ultra chip from intel that comes with a better custom arc GPU version, but they decided to use the standard ones. thats the only problem. a quick buck. with no long careful planning.

      These chips can have a dedicated GPU as that's what pretty much all gaming laptops have. Plus the chip in the MSI Claw is used in some Gaming laptops on the Market like the Asus Zephyrus M16. The issue is thermals not the fact that it uses an APU

  • @85crazytechlaz

    See how I see it it's like this the company should have kept up-to-date with these units before shipping them out and kept them all good because a lot of people are returning them back their pre-orders and there's a lot of bad reviews and a lot of bad comments on this device so that saying MSI screw themselves because you got to think about it in a different point of view which is when you purchase this right sometimes you only have a 15-day window and some companies they don't send out softwares until like 2 or 3 weeks so there you go your windows closed now you can't return it now you're stuck with a device that you can't return same thing that happened with me in the legion go so I mean at least Lenovo kept up with their updates right away back-to-back 2 weeks after they released the device in public but since I had my Legion gold from the beginning everything was all right with it I didn't have no problems with it yeah a little software problems here and there but like I said after they released that device into the public it was back-to-back updates now it's been a couple weeks like 3 weeks or so since they haven't had an update but they just released one couple of days ago so that saying it's a hit or miss it's either you keep the device and the window closes of you returning it and you don't get enough updates to fix enough things that's wrong with it or you return it back it's all on you

  • @crestofhonor2349
    @crestofhonor2349 Місяць тому +1

    There is no way you could fit an Nvidia dedicated GPU in a handheld like one of these and one have it cooled well and two be able to run on battery well. Even the lowest wattage 4050 laptop GPU would cause issues and you're better off using the iGPU built into the APU rather than a dedicated solution. Intel really needs to figure out a way of having more efficiency. For one it does help to turn off CPU boost as it allows the GPU to get more power. The CPU is boosting way too high and giving the GPU less power than it should get. Same reason why I turn off CPU boost on the Ally as it reduces wattage and CPU power consumption.
    Still the MSI claw probably needs more driver updates from Intel as often times their drivers hold them back as seen with their big desktop ARC GPUs. Granted I don't think they'll beat the AMD Z1X but they need to work on low wattage performance. The lowest TDP performance mode should be 8-10w for the lowest end mode. Handhelds need to perform well at low wattages so you can use them longer away from the wall

    Windows is the problem, from what I can see, it's always the problem. Microsoft needs to step up and start making a handheld centric version of Windows, when it comes down to it, anyone who is a PC gamer would still need to use a mouse and keyboard on these units to feel comfortable. It's why Steamdeck still reigns supreme even though its hardware is less than optimal...it just works out of the box for what you hold in your hands

      @@crestofhonor2349 I dunno bro, Windows makes it really tough for anyone coming from say an only console gaming experience, with no prior knowledge of Windows, to the handheld PC market. Windows on a desktop has enough quirks as it is, never mind throwing no keyboard and mouse into the mix especially on those units (ROG Ally) with no trackpad and a really crappy workaround in a joystick to guide the mouse cursor. It's just clunky. The onus should be on Microsoft to get their handheld (call it whatever ya want, Windows Compact, or Handheld) and gear it toward controller type UX's along with a more minimalist OS in the background. Right now, the ENTIRE Windows experience gets loaded onto these handhelds with so much unnecessary nonsense running in system services. So, of course it's gonna be a horrible gaming session. Also, the companies using anti-cheats, need to work with Microsoft in any future Windows version specifically for use with handhelds. Just my opinion
