    Apparently I got the amount of RAM WRONG SOMEHOW??? This one only has 16gb. I’ll try to remove any mention of RAM with the KZread editor. Might take a bit to do. If you see some weird jump cuts, thats why.

    it's because it leaked saying it had 32gbs of ram so your brain was like damn this thing has 32gbs of ram lol. i think they just decided to save money by releasing with only 16gb which will hurt them in the end. a lot of modern games are requiring 16gb of ram so it essentially didn't future proof it very much. what a shame i was hyped for this thing. Edit: They did say there would be 4 different versions and only released 3

    As someone who has used Intel CPUs in early 2000s without a graphics card, I can testify Intel sucks in the graphics department. They are overtly anemic and continue to be pushed to the laptop market, severely handicapping their potential unless you want to shell out extra cash for a GPU that's going to get thermal throttled anyway. AMD APUs perform much better than what Intel does, who just laxes on the graphics processing field.

    Typing this on an MSi GS63VR 7RG Stealth Pro that, just a few days ago, I had to REMOVE THE MOTHERBOARD on just to clean lint out of the fans. Not only do you have to do this to access the fans, but to get to the RAM slots and SSD. MSi, unlike every other manufacturer, seems to actively enjoy making their devices unnecessarily difficult for the end user to service. On the plus side, other than needing fan servicing every couple of years to remove built up dust from the guts and replacing the battery when it wears down, it's been a powerhouse of a machine for the roughly 6 years I've had it.

Popping things open and cleaning it out gets them back to running cool and quiet, it's just baffling that they made the decision to make accessing those often-accessed parts require such severe disassembly when literally every other manufacturer makes their machines easy for even complete beginners to service. Servicing this laptop feels like rocket surgery by comparison.

    when the engineers were making it, i can't understand why they felt the need to even produce the 155 version, the processor robs way too much power from the igpu, this is a gaming machine so the extra p cores were just not worth it, if you want a fast processor, get a laptop? these are meant for gaming so they just don't need such a power hungry cpu. I'm disappointed because I've always been intel with my desktop builds. also I am very sure that it only comes with 16gb of ram like the rog ally does, it would have been really smart of them to bump it to 32gb, but they didn't, we saw false benchmarks of the claw running with 32gb of ram but they must have deemed the performance gain to cost ineffective.

    one of the biggest issues I see with these other non steam deck handhelds is the controls layout. It is entirely user preference but for me the dualshock-esque layout with sticks and buttons at equal heights and overall symmetry of the controls is a major W for the steam deck. None of these other handhelds seem to even offer parity with the SD controls either. 4 back paddles and two touchpads give me access to potentially 100 inputs, instantly, on other own. (seriously, radial menus on trackpads are op). it's a handheld console, i don't expect preformance to be very good, im firmly in the camp that a portable system should prioritize comfort and capability over raw processing power. essentially a "can it do it well" instead of "can it do it the fastest".

    I bought it despote these rewievs. Ind 3rd day i love it. Best joystick of all handhelds, best grips (as SD). Downside is only battery. But i played only at home on chargers. So no big deal for me. In real world is ok in comparison rog ally price is enourmus, but ergonomy is much more better

    You took this handheld to the BEACH?! No nonono. From my experience, it's not a good idea. When I was a kid I went to Maine for vacation and went to Pemaquid Beach. It's August and it's cold outside and the water is even worse. Through this boredom, I had to novel idea to bring my new Gameboy SP NES Edition to entertain me. Didn't quite used it as much as I thought however. But afterwards when I got home... The sand had somehow entered in between the lens and the screen and I couldn't remove it. But the most damning was that the sand had eroded the NES design on top of the shell. I was pissed. It doesn't matter how well you protect your electronics, the little bastard sands are coarse and rough and gets everywhere!

    The changing benchmark numbers are most likely due to Windows power profile. Maybe it's in auto/balanced mode or whatever, you may want the max profile though.

    My left thumb sticks grinding on my Rog ally now. I never noticed it till you said and I looked though. I never push it all the way to the outside I guess. But it's probably those RGB light circles that aren't meant to be surrounding a thumb stick. Wrong material maybe.. but I thought all thumbsticks did that. I always used to notice White dust on my controller thumbsticks since forever. Dreamcast Xbox GameCube etc etc. Haven't noticed it on steam deck but I play my Rog ally way more. Hardly play my steam decks I have 2 LCDs

    So from what I've seen between all the different reviews is that on average, this thing barely beats out the Steam Deck Oled while set to twice the TDP and gets annihilated by the Z1E chips while costing as much as it does. I wonder how fast the price will plummet.

    I love my steam deck and I also love valve's new update to steam family, but what I really like is how this is basically the new era of the steam machine. All of these other handhelds are most likely going to have steam on them so Valve is going to make their money, they were able to get way more people into this space and drive up competition. I remember loving GPD products but them being too expensive for me, but now there are options at many price points and with different features, and with the claw different hardware. (I know there have been intel handhelds before but intel can actually compete now and I hope they keep improving). I look forward to what competition will bring to the market and hopefully it will keep pushing prices down.

    Is it possible that the boosted performance is actually because the SSD is right behind the fan keeping it cool? Obviously an L for upgradability but could this be a justification for the design choice?

    For me the Claw looks sexy, and it does the job because I only play light games occasionally, and it could be docked with that Thunderbolt 4 which is not bad as a versatile portable light gaming/office machine.

    Intel ARC is made for modern graphics APIs (DirectX12 and Vulkan), given Proton is translating DirectX to Vulkan it could be great if it used Linux OS like Steam OS instead of Windows where it will use old DirectX for various games.

    My ROG ally updated and its completely bricked, and when i try to factory reset it it doesnt stay on long enough for me to complete it. The joysticks stopped working 3 months after i bought it replaced it with Hall affect joysticks, the sd card reader never worked and it always overheated so i had to replace the back shell that allows more airflow and that kept the temps below 81c and Asus refuses to fix my rog ally because i opened it

    From my experience all joysticks get stuck like that if there's nothing limiting their range of motion. In this case and probably the others noted, the plastic circle around it is too big and let's the mechanism get to the point it binds up. Probably all of them are just cutting the allowable range of motion too close to their maximum.
