Title: So far so good ..
Review: Just got it but unfortunately I gotta go to work lol. The device looks awesome. I'm going to use this mainly for steam, PS2 and PSP emulation so I'm sure everything will work out fine. Already have a 1TB memory card for extra storage. Will update as I use this product. So I updated the driver's and the Bios, so far so good. UPDATE: I have around 100 PS2 games loaded on this and they run smoothly. Getting the emulator to recognize the controls was a little frustrating but I figured it out lol. I have PPSSPP installed but not configured yet, I'll work on it later today. I have some steam games on this as well. Not sure how well they run, been working. But today and tomorrow I'll put it through some test As of now The ONLY con for me is the battery life but overall I am very happy with my purchase!

Title: Does what I expect it to do
Review: Great for mobile gaming. More demanding tasks and games will drain the battery faster.

Title: Perfect for streaming sunshine/moonlight
Review: 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.

Title: This thing is Awesome.
Review: Let me start off by saying that I am not computer wiz nor do I have a lot of experience with PC gaming. A lot of people online say this device is kinda disappointing, but it works great for me. Then again, I'm not playing the most resent games with maxed out settings.I've really only played Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, and al little bit of emulation. Phantasy Star runs great on high settings. My PSP and PS2 emulators are installed on a Micro SD card and they also run great.This is a great device, and I love it. Sorry I'm not able to give it an in depth review discussing the specs and power.

Title: Great performance, almost excellent
Review: 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!
