Perfect for streaming sunshine/moonlight
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.

Great performance, almost excellent
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!

Good for the price if you find the A1M on sale
+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 heatsinkOverall 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.

DON’T BUY THIS!!!!
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.

Pc gaming on the go
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 useI give this 7 out of 10 for everything else

I’m having fun with it.
I play a lot of lower graphics games and they all run fine. I haven’t tried anything with Triple A graphics though. The sound quality is awesome and the screen looks good. I don’t see why people dislike this handheld so much. I’m happy with it.
