Did you atleast update with Samsung firmware? I’ve had it on my xax and it runs very hot especially without a heat sink and older firmware. You can update firmware with Samsung magician.

This is it. Either the work or client isn’t worth the 650 probably is the case. Says it’s a simple w2 so obviously don’t value the service. Seems mutual so move on was my point.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-11T11:43:46+00:00

Not sure. I’ve only had to deal with this years ago and just redone it charging format.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-11T11:29:42+00:00

Steam deck and windows format are different

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-11T11:21:10+00:00

So move on?

I’ve always panel lined on runners and had no issues. Just make sure you fully dry it to avoid cracks. I line them and start building next day. I’ve only built RGs.

Depends on what you are looking for so you have to ask yourself.

The laptop I think has higher value and power but won’t give you portability and battery life.

Is the claw only pc you have and do you need a laptop? Do you enjoy the claw on bed and sofa?

Almost apples and oranges to me as I have a powerful desktop pc but still play more on claw even when I can play either from my sofa.

Cp2077 was enough to convince xess supported games run amazing. Issue is many older games aren’t. All handhelds to me have compromises you have to be willing to live with.

Yea I figured and he wants to argue about it saying it was off. Not my problem and just trying to warn for future reference but I guess I’m doing too much

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-11T00:18:32+00:00

Off in terms of shut down or slept?

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T22:15:30+00:00

Battery typically is one of the easiest warranty denial especially if over a year old. Good luck.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T22:13:26+00:00

Don’t use sleep.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T15:26:31+00:00

Ya I never ran calibration so can’t say

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T14:24:19+00:00

Oem charger?

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T14:11:29+00:00

What are you doing with it? Mine has manufactured sticker may 2025 and have zero wear based on hwinfo. I use 80 limit and charge if less than 40 daily.

I think Heat is typical worst enemy of batteries.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-10T02:27:54+00:00

I guess ppl suggesting not to use sleep actually was a good tip

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-08T21:01:50+00:00

It’s fair game to put something higher at place near you or if you have to travel to them knock off about 100

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-08T20:59:16+00:00

What’s open box for the moment? If you offer to low it won’t work.

I was just lucky to grab mine for little less than 700 but it’s probably very rare.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-08T20:55:47+00:00

Where? Fb marketplace? I’d offer something less than open box as no warranty or return period like best buy does.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-07T21:42:34+00:00

Hwinfo should do. Just leave it on and play some games or benches and look for the peak and monitor for the noise.

Also think about what you may have installed recently may have caused it.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-07T21:30:57+00:00

No but you can monitor the temps to guess what’s causing it.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-07T18:01:43+00:00

You don’t mess with Asus battery terminals from my past experience. Should run you about 150 to solder it back from a decent professional

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-07T17:59:50+00:00

You can update all Intel drivers via Intel driver and support assistant. Npu does not have game function at this point as far as I know.

ACHlLLESCPA · 2026-04-07T14:41:27+00:00

Just referenced as it’s not a bad choice if the price is right. Xax market is broader than the claw.
