Can the MSI Claw replace ALL my gaming consoles?!
89@paulAntill used the MSI Claw as his only gaming console for 1 week. This is Intel's debut to gaming handhelds, but is it good enough to replace the ASUS ROG Ally, an Xbox Series X or a Gaming Laptop? Here's everything he likes about this portable gaming setup and the cons you can expect.

This past week has shown me that the Claw has a lot of room for improvement. I have benchmarked the MSI Claw in Red Dead Redemption 2, Batman Arkham Knight, Forza Horizon 5, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
The biggest takeaway for me, is that the MSI Claw works best as a handheld, which sure, isn’t a huge surprise, but it also helped me realize how great consoles like the Xbox Series X still are.
As it currently stands, though, the ASUS ROG Ally vs the MSI Claw is the safer bet for most people who want the best bang for your buck portable gaming device with more reliable performance, while the Steam Deck is the way to go if you want to avoid the hassle which is Windows 11 and strictly use this for play, and not productivity.
MSI and Intel have a lot riding on this, and because of that, I’m convinced the Claw is not in its final state yet and still has lots of driver updates and performance improvements on the horizon.
But what do you think about the Claw - is it something you’d pick up? Let me know in the comments.
