MSI Claw PC Gaming Handheld: Intel Ultra 5-135H, 7" FHD 120Hz Display, 16GB LPDDR5, 512TB NVMe SSD, MicroSD Card Reader, Thunderbolt 4, Win 11 Home: Black A1M-052US

I have no complaints about this system except that from time to time when restarting the device your back lighting maybe off and it'll take some time for it to get back on. It's incredibly lightweight and very powerful. It works really well as a reasonably priced PC gaming handheld. It's light enough that if you have joint issues with your wrists or arms you can use it very easily. It's got enough power to play high-end games given that you make sure you're using the right settings.

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 😂 Update: so far my msi claw has been going good i unfortunately became a huge fan of marvel rivals and it was a bit much for the claw the game had a lot of glitches and crashes. Intel arc released a new update and so did marvel rivals and now it’s working perfect like if I never had any issues praying I don’t jinx myself but if this update fixed my marvel rivals issues then this pc is a beast

In terms of performance, it's great with Intel Ultra 7. Thunderbolt port allows easy expansion, fast data transfer. Overall if you use it as it came from factory, it's quite good. Only complaint is the buttons on the left and right feel a little stiff. Otherwise it works well. For ordinary folks, who might need more space, buy the 1TB model or be happy with the 512gb version. For geeks or those thinking of buying it and THEN upgrading storage, DIYers - it takes a bit of effort and time to replace SSD. You have to remove a bunch of screws, heat-sink and then replace the 2230 sized SSD. Wait, that's not all. IF you're doing a clean installation of Windows, you have to disable the super annoying Intel VMD/RST controller. You will need to use some USB-C hub, connect other USB mouse + keyboard and press this combo: Entering BIOS (press F2 key while booting), go to "Advanced " tab, enter the secret menu by pressing CTRL (right) + Shift (right) + Alt (left) + F2. Then go to System Agent Configuration > VMD > Configuration VMD and disable the controller. Now if you go back to Windows installation, it will recognize the new SSD. If you choose to CLONE the original drive that came with it, then you don't have to worry about this bios stuffs. Just use any tool to clone the original. A bit disappointed why MSI made SSD upgrade a little difficult but again, unlike Apple, yes we can!

Works well once you get all the updates installed
