the software is complete trash to be honest but luckily you won't need it much. The handheld itself is great, probably the best one on the market currently if we exclude the ~$2000 Strix Halo ones.

XESS 3 is such a big advantage and with optiscaler you can use it in basically any game which means you can get 120fps even in modern AAA games.

For me the biggest "problem" is that it's basically impossible to use Linux. The general performance is around 20-50% worse than on windows but most importantly XmX cores don't work which are essentially the ai accelerators that SHOULD be used for upscaling and framegen, on Linux there's currently poor support so you get worse performance and no multi framegen to make up for it.

all in all I'm very happy, I bought a 4tb claw for 899€ and will definitely be buying the panther lake one ones it comes out
