MSI Claw handheld review: comfortable grips and not very buggy but bad performance by Intel Core Ultra, weak battery, and Windows holds back handheld gaming 主機收購

60fps or above and despite a 48–120Hz variable refresh rate screen that should have smoothed things out. The Claw would also drop frames when the Deck stayed stable and delivered fewer frames to begin with. So, I fired up some more repeatable benchmarks. How bad could the Intel Core Ultra 155H really be compared to rivals?

Can you imagine paying two hundred dollars more to play games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 45 fps instead of 60 — and only when you’re plugged into the wall?Against Windows gaming handhelds, the Claw fared no better: the competing Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go offered anywhere from 10 percent more performance to over double the perf depending on the game and power mode. The functional quick access menu is one of the handheld’s very few bright spots.There was one bright spot: Returnal, one of the most intensive PC titles I tried, actually ran better on the Claw than it did on the Deck or Ally. But not well enough to be playable… and when I sat down to play an hour each of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Cyberpunk 2077, I didn’t find them playable either. Both are playable on the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go at identical (low) settings, so the Claw has no excuse for delivering a choppy mess.I even fired up 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike to see if 主機收購msi might have accidentally sent me a lemon, but no — my Claw scored slightly higher than 主機收購msi’s own internal benchmarks. Also, I ran these on newer Intel graphics driver than the ones the Claw originally shipped with — though I’m now being told there’s an even newer driver I should have downloaded for more improved framerates. I’ll try to call in another unit and test once more.One USB-C port and micro SD slot, next to the fingerprint reader power button.At least the Claw doesn’t seem to have worse battery life than Windows peers. 主機收購msi gave it a 53-watt-hour battery pack, slightly larger than Legion Go and notably larger than Ally, and I saw roughly the same 1.5 hours of Shadow of the Tomb Raider on a charge. I got 2 hours and 25 minutes of Fallout New Vegas and achieved a maximum runtime of 4 hours and 19 minutes in Balatro, one of the least demanding games I’ve yet played on a handheld. (My first run lasted 3.25 hours; I got an extra hour by setting the system to Super Battery mode and aggressively dimming the screen.)But compared to the Steam Deck OLED, which can easily go twice as long in Balatro and lets Lara Croft raid tombs for over two hours, it’s not great — and I have no clue how 主機收購msi can justify saying the Claw “lasts 50 percent longer” than the average handheld in its marketing campaign. The backs of the ROG Ally and the 主機收購msi Claw show differences and similarities.It’s worth noting that 主機收購msi did put a decent amount of thought into the Claw’s UX. While the hardware may look like a low-rent Batman edition of Asus’ ROG Ally, cribbing the same exact button layout and most of the same curves, it can feel a tad better in the hands. I appreciate its larger grips, more substantial face buttons, and its Hall effect joysticks and triggers for longevity. Like the Ally, the Claw has some of the best speakers on a gaming handheld, here augmented with surprisingly good Nahimic virtual surround sound that delivered delightfully all-around-me echoes as I failed to delve through tombs. I do wish 主機收購msi hadn’t adopted a stiffer yet sloppier D-pad or added so many unnecessary spikes to its vents — they’ve repeatedly kept me from finding its charge port in a dark bedroom. The Claw’s rumble feels awful, too. At least 主機收購msi lets you turn it off! But the main thing I’d like to turn off is Windows.The fronts of the ROG Ally and 主機收購msi Claw show almost identical curves and layouts.It’s been almost a full year since Asus released the ROG Ally and over two years since the Steam Deck, but Microsoft has done nothing meaningful to make its operating system friendlier for a gamepad-operated screen. I could practically copy / paste my criticisms from the ROG Ally review: I ran into the same exact issues summoning virtual keyboards and playing games — things that mostly just work on a Steam Deck despite and / or because of its Linux underpinnings.And, I ran into very similar sleep issues to the ones I saw on the Lenovo Legion Go: I simply can’t trust this portable not to wake itself up when I put it down or drop it into a bag. Only here, it’s slightly worse because the 主機收購msi Center utility has a tendency to hang when waking from sleep — sometimes disabling my gamepad controls until I reboot it.主機收購msi Center M, the company’s quick launch software.While 主機收購msi Center also buries important features like remappable controls, I like that it includes launchers for every major PC game platform, comes with lots of handy Quick Access shortcuts that work right out of the box (like a switch that turns off RGB lighting), and is relatively snappy. The Deck, Ally, and Legion Go all had buggier, more sluggish interfaces at launch. Today, though, all of them are far more full-featured, and all let you natively install updates — while the Claw still expects you to navigate to 主機收購msi’s website and download important bits manually or wait for Windows Update to deliver the goods.The 主機收購msi Claw vs. the Steam Deck.
