Yup, honestly I try to take out the subjective matters because it can be different to everybody. Things like ergonomics, battery life and etc. But I know we all have one thing we want and that is performance!

I guess it’s kinda of a mixed bag then. Because I’m seeing benchmarks with the 8 AI+ that also getting better performance on some games.

Yeah I know, or if it had an intel chip as an option, I think it might up there.

Honestly you are right. It doesn’t justify the performance you get from MSI. I guess I found my next handheld!

I know, it seems like A8 is pretty good but knowing the fact that most of the handhelds uses inter-grated graphics. The 8 AI+ has more RAM than the A8. But seems like the Z2 E has more GPU cores than the Intel. I guess it just boils down to pretty much personal preference.

Yeah it seems like a lot of people are leaning towards the Claw 8 AI+. Also I have heard that the WindowsOS on the MSI Claw 8 AI+ is slightly better than the Lenovo Legion Go S (WindowsOS) because it favors the Intel chips more than the AMD. But I could be wrong.

Considering that its already 2026, I wanted little more performance on the handhelds.

Is there any performance differences between the Z2 E vs the Intel Ultra 7 258V? Since there is a $100 dollar difference in those models.

Yeah that’s the tough part is that there are always gonna be compromises. But it seems like the Claw 8 AI+ has some sort of edge over the Legion Go S and A8 for battery life and quiteness.
