The battery and user friendly menus really appeal to me as someone that isn't super tech savvy. Pcs were just starting to be mainstream before I graduated high school so I basically teach myself anything new with manuals and trial and error.
I just want to point out that the screen is 120Hz, it is the same display as ROG Ally/Ally X with VRR and all. The Target listing itself has a typo in it where they put "155Hz" when it is supposed to say "155H"* (CPU model number, not refresh rate) 😂 this is not at all RGTs fault though, Target themselves have that typo. All other listings are correctly titled. I relayed this to Target in hopes that it gets corrected as to not cause confusion for potential consumers.
I bought the Claw at a heavily discounted price a few months ago, despite the negative reviews. I've been pleasantly surprised with what this device can do and games it plays without any issues. Wonder how many of the negative comments come from people that have actually tried the device, and not just shifting the dying "console wars" to the handhelds
Same. Outside of an actual desktop PC, the Deck is easily the greatest emulation machine ever made. I LOVE that I can play almost any game from the Atari era all the way through current stuff on one device that I can take with me anywhere.
@@sivapetit1 the battery was at 75% and it's been on. I've spent maybe 4-5 hours downloading and updating drivers and now it's at 42%. The battery is really the main selling point for me because I really hate being tethered to any power source
@@sivapetit1 I haven't done any actual tests but I seem to recall 2 - 2.5 hrs playing Sea of Stars at 40% screen brightness and Performance power mode setting ..? Have the charger handy.
@@abcbizarre But is it? Look at what Dev's have done with the swich because it has baseline hardware. These handheld PCs are limited by their power hungary OS and the fact that games are made for destop PC's and gaming laptops, which is tough on the hardware of any shrunk PC.
MSI probably have written off this product, unlikely for them to bother trying to salvage it. It is already discounted as much as 50% in many retail store
Any chance of you doing a review on the RetroShooter or Sinden peripherals. You probably have a Amazon drive with everything else needed already. Might even work on these handhelds in a docking mode.
I have both and the Ally is only better in some games. Battery life, thermals, and audio are all better on claw. Screen is actually slightly better too but they are close. The intel chip is actually more powerful but the software is lagging behind amd a bit.
It does say paid promotion, but I think him reviewing Core Keeper was a paid promotion also but that's a great game, so I think while it can hurt the credibility of the "honest review" it seems a win win overall
They are hall effect joysticks.... The face buttons are quite literally straight from an Xbox controller... Repairing it takes a handful of screws, pulling one small cable out and _if_ you need to, reapplying thermal paste... Nothing hard for anyone somewhat capable
I am a believer, but you in here all the time saying the same thing will eventually push people away due to human pride. With all due respect, God does not need a lawyer or your defense, that’s why Jesus exists
I have one it's really not that bad now . People are still watching reviews from launch and saying it's horrible lol. It has had a lot of updates since then
I have the MSI Claw from septemberand works great,(even better than Rog Ally in some heavy games) bad performance issues was long time ago, no idea why people still saying that....
I have to admit I'm not very impressed by this device. I own a steam deck and frankly it's been enough for me. While the performance for AAA games on the deck leaves plenty to be desired, I don't think anyone expected to get a standard PC level performance from it without an external GPU or something. The built in 32 GB Ram and 1 TB Nvme is cool and all, along with native VRR... But the benefits stop there it seems... If you don't already own one of the handful of handheld gaming PCs out there then sure it could be a solid investment... Otherwise I wouldn't waste my time.
So you're not taking endorsements because knowing the knowledge you should have and should be applied this is fucking ridiculous the MSI Clause garbage compared to the new Rog Ally or even the legion go but it's totally not worth it it's like third on the list with its Intel processor get real yes it can handle those things but it's not the best bang for buck even the old RG Ally is worth it
The MSI Claw is not good. I still think the ROC Alley is the worst. Based upon system capabilities the Steam Deck is the 2nd worst. But at least you can cloud stream with a steam deck & get the benefits of that OLED display. So I would say that the MSI claw is likely then the 2 worst portable pc on the market. It’s running at best a poorly optimized chip. Anything with a modern AMD mobile chip will outperform it easily. All of these devices are emulation beasts tho. 100% of them will crush emulation.

For a handheld in 2024, the bezels are awfully large, I'm actually very surprised that they could not make the screen a bit bigger with no bezels.
I love handhelds, all of them, even the steam deck, despite of it being on the lower end.
Best way to play when you are tire after a full day of work
I'm loving the steam deck. It's run everything I've wanted to play with no problems. The Steam OS and plug & play nature is great, IMO.

I'm gonna wait for the MSI Claw 8 with Intel Lunar Lake. I think it's coming out in Q1 2025.
They’re all literally emulation beasts.
I bought the Ally X for 699 since it was 100 off for black friday
Got the Ally (non-X) for $350 at Target! Love this thing! (am watching and typing on it)
How's the battery performance?
How many hrs?
@@metaldicemanBest speaker sound for a handheld is Rog Ally Z1E smokes the sd oled and legion go

The Legion Go is the GOAT though.
We finally got Switch 2!!! 🤩 oh wait…. 🙈
The switch 2 will be a fair bit less powerful.... but better as it will be developed for specifically with that device in mind.
It's better than a switch 2😂

I love the emulation device vids. Keep it up. For a Nintendo youtuber u like doing what nintendont want u to do lol
Number one Nintendo TH-camr !!!!!!
I just bought myself a rogue ally x It is awesome
Nice, but im more than happy with my Steam Deck Oled 1TB
That’s on my Christmas wish list!
@americanpatriot3150
It was mine last year and it is SO worth it.
Secure the bag, Shawn. Secure the bag.
Second video later I bet. We gotta have our favorite Nintendo TH-camr yelling at clouds 👍🏻
It’s The Claw
It chooses who will stay and who will go.
I just bought a white steamdeck
Newegg has the 135h model for under $400!
I prefer the steam deck plus the steam deck is way better than that toy
The only way the Claw can get a decent review is by sponsorship. Stick with the Steam Deck OLED or ROG Ally X, guys. Spend the extra money.
Amazon says "512TB" WOW
Do I smell a paid content?
I like this video, good content regardless if it’s paid.
I paid him in fillet o fish.
He openly disclosed the sponsorship at the very beginning of the video.
MSI probably have written off this product, unlikely for them to bother trying to salvage it. It is already discounted as much as 50% in many retail store
Sponsorship is in the description.
What do you think of the gpd win 4 handheld?
7:51 👀 is that Switch 😂
there's so many handheld copycats I have honestly lost track 💀 every month I hear a new one Poppin up
reminder this handheld is weaker than the 7840u/Z1E + the Z2E is coming out so...
You didn’t get 2 hours on Spider-Man on a pc handheld lmao

Welcome to 720p handheld gaming...

Love your review on the MSI claw Sean. I wonder what the best windows handheld is. Maybe you should do a review on all handheld on the market.
It usually takes longs than a day to say I told you so but Im livin La Vita2 Loca.
Rog ally is way better than the claw
To you
I have both and the Ally is only better in some games. Battery life, thermals, and audio are all better on claw. Screen is actually slightly better too but they are close. The intel chip is actually more powerful but the software is lagging behind amd a bit.
@@josephhooks1292, battery is not as good as the Ally X which has an 80W. The Ally X is better in all leagues.
@josephhooks1292 Intel technology sucks compared to AMD what have you been smoking
@@biorum he said ally not ally x.
I'll just wait for The New Switch😅... But it's Definitely nice 👍🙂
So marvel rivals and Fortnite can be played on it? Was gonna get the portal but can’t run those games unless u have the ps5
dr mod uses the rog ally
Hmm you may of changed my mind on the device....but since I have both z1 and z1 extreme rog ally....I won't be switching over
Sold my MSI Claw not even a full day after owning it and my testing showed that it was nowhere near as good as my ROG Ally
If you only had it for one day why didn’t you just return it and get your money back?
MSi Claw is not the one that is frying all the micro sd around the world : )
I’ll pick it up
I have always shown interest in those claw machines and then $$. Those things do look great though.
Looks awesome to bad it runs on Windows though.
Rog Ally X clears.
Rog Ally X cost double than MSI Claw in my country.
Where my ROG Ally/X bros at 👀
Also anyone knows the name of the game at 8:05 ?
House of the dead remake
It does say paid promotion, but I think him reviewing Core Keeper was a paid promotion also but that's a great game, so I think while it can hurt the credibility of the "honest review" it seems a win win overall

Rgt I been following you for years now is there a way to run god of war ascension on an emulator? Please help bro 🙏
Good luck If something breaks or you get Stick Drift or stuck buttons 😂

2S still the 🐐
All the reviews out says it STUNK …For the high price tag and minimal things that it does Ouch 🤕 RGT85 got that Bag thoooo 😅
9:04 Nintendo TH-camr confirmed!
More like king of the filet o fish
I'd have a legion go. Steam deck still holds its own with a ayaneo pocket s I'm covered
I just get the PS Portal
A certain red plumber that might want to go on a pilgrimage an odyssey 😂
Ooohhhh you're scared of the claw!!! Gonna git cha......
hi RGT
That's msi paw not claw bro😂
Awesome
Would love to hear your opinion on the meta quest 3. Unless it's a bad review, cus you'd be wrong and that would make me frown. Lol

Nope nope no rgt just no, not the MSI claw....just no.

Since when Claw is a handheld and not a piece of trash?☺️ How much did they paid you?😅
Word
claw is horrible , stop lying 🤥🤥🤥
It's a late April fools joke. He got us! 🤣
I have one it's really not that bad now . People are still watching reviews from launch and saying it's horrible lol. It has had a lot of updates since then

No
Sponsored look = gonna shill. See if he talks about it ever again after today, thats a better indicator of his actual feelings.
He literally says this is sponsored at the beginning of the video.

500 bucks hahahaahhwhabwha
lol, who uses Claw? Normal people have either a Steamdeck or a ROG Ally or both.
You can really tell which things he needed to say for the sponsor money. The “top 20 steam games” thing sounded soooooo corporate
First
Awful handheld
3 of the last 6 videos are sponsored garbage. Is this just a money grab channel now? I know it kinda always was.
Why are you being so edgy man?
Terrible actually
This ishhhh look cheap
Idk about this one bro. Your content seems a bit off lately 🤨🤨🤨
