    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for streaming sunshine/moonlight
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024
    I wanted a handheld to stream games from my PC with a 4090/5800x3d when I didn't feel like sitting at my desk, The MSI Claw is perfect for my situation.

    I thought about a ROG Ally Z1, but I don't trust ASUS (Not that I trust MSI, but I trust them more than Asus at the moment). The ROG Ally also doesn't have Hall Effect sticks and the Micro SD slot breaks.

    The MSI Claw 135H version is worth $100 more to me for the Hall Effect sticks and overall better hardware if I am ever in a situation where I can't stream. The ROG Ally Z1 often goes on sale for $399, but at $499 the same price I bought my Claw for it's a terrible value.

    I haven't really used it for anything other than streaming, but I haven't had any issues. The screen looks great, the Hall Effect sticks are a plus, Moonlight runs great and I haven't had any other issues.

    I would definitely recommend it as a streaming device if you have a good Network Connection and a PC that can run games at 120hz at 1080p. You can also download Tailscale and play when you're away from home.

    I'm gonna start with I have the MSI ge66 raider. I bought it 3 years ago and I love it. I never have a problem with it and it plays everything perfectly. With that being said I was very hopeful about getting the claw. Don't do it. Took a couple hours to set up, update, and get fallout 76 with some mods installed. I played it for an hour and everything worked perfect. Smooth great graphics everything was good. Went to take a nap and let it charge for an hour. When I woke up I went to turn it on and nothing. Just a couple of slight vibrations and nothing. Went online and looked up anything and everything I can do to make it work. I tried everything except opening it and nothing worked. I called MSI customer support next. I've dealt with some bad customer support in the day but MSI was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Literally no help whatsoever and just said to return it to Amazon. Don't waste your time, money, or aggravation. I'm just gonna order the steamdeck and call it a day.

    Only gave it 4 starts cause the battery isn’t 54 hours more like 5 or 6 lmao but it’s ok it does everything from sims 2 to paladins and that’s all I need my favorite games I’ll keep you updated

    A little update it’s been about four or five days and the console has not failed me, but maybe that’s because I put graphics and stuff to medium or low cause I don’t wanna put too much power on the console. I wanted to actually last me before I buy a new one lol but everything works perfect I’m glad I made this purchase. I’ve been playing Marvel rivals on this thing and it’s been beautiful

    This thing is literally my new console idc to get an Xbox or ps5 this thing will run every game that comes out with them. I’ve been such a huge fan of marvel rivals and not a lot of first gen Xbox users can play it. Why I love being a pc gamer, I’ve noticed this thing doesn’t get too hot even after playing a couple of hours it kept its cool. I’m not taking this thing on the go really too expensive ????

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price if you find the A1M on sale
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024
    +155H is powerful for the package, if you need that CPU power
    +Thunderbolt 4 connection allows for expansion with TB4 eGPU dock
    +New Claw control center integrates well into Game Bar
    +Display quality is excellent for a 7" IPS panel
    +Most of the Unity android port slop I play run at 60fps on this device

    -155H may be too powerful. The handheld struggles running below 30W. Windows 11 24H2 parks 2 P-cores and 4 E-cores automatically when power constrained which does help.
    -Alchemist LPE iGPU can be poorly optimized for some games
    -16GB memory limits multi-tasking ability
    -SSD upgrade requires removal of battery and CPU heatsink

    Overall this thing loves to run docked at 40W TDP being used as a miniPC. It is good value if that's your primary use case.

    My unit started making a ticking noise from the fans after taking it on a flight but it seems to have resolved itself after a few hours. I will update if the problem re-occurs.

    I like how it fits in my hands. Battery life last about 1 to 11/2 hours in heavy gameplay uses or about 4 hours of normal gameplay take about 3 hours to charge well not in use and longer when in use
    I give this 7 out of 10 for everything else

    This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my child. Went to plug it in to charge and it never charged. It would vibrate and a white light flashed. Customer service was contacted we troubleshoot and nothing. Was told to return item. It arrived defective.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is Awesome.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024
    Let me start off by saying that I am not computer wiz nor do I have a lot of experience with PC gaming. A lot of people online say this device is kinda disappointing, but it works great for me. Then again, I'm not playing the most resent games with maxed out settings.

    I've really only played Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, and al little bit of emulation. Phantasy Star runs great on high settings. My PSP and PS2 emulators are installed on a Micro SD card and they also run great.

    This is a great device, and I love it. Sorry I'm not able to give it an in depth review discussing the specs and power.
