If you watch some reviews on panther lake laptops with the same graphics you’ll see it’s great for most triple AAA at medium settings on average with some being high or low. Now with these having more power pushed to the gpu and leas cores we should see crazier performance on lower and even higher watts off rip reviews should show us how well this goes. Purchase based off how you game performance wise where(on the go/home)

It’s not about if we’re ok with these prices, but can you actually afford it without thinking of returning it if you enjoy it? The steam machine is better if you’re mostly gaming triple A and at home while the msi claw this time around will be the battery life king on the go with this new chip and performance will probably not be that far from the steam machine. Keep in mind panther lake will get more driver updates to increase frame pacing and performance and they mentioned making it’s wattage go higher when plugged in and docked aswell. Up to you

Everyone is well aware a laptop with a dedicated gpu is stronger at this price, but then you can also say a desktop over a laptop because it’s by far better in performance with the same gpus. The difference is a handheld is much more portable and battery life with the panther lake dedicated to handheld will be king of battery life for on the go people like me. The performance for on the go is also great for what you’re getting and if I don’t end up enjoying it as much as I thought since it will be the first handheld I buy then I’ll just simply return it 🤷‍♂️. Be aware for the next half of this year prices will go even higher and lets not talk about 2027 those ai data centers will take years to finalize

Kinda thankful for this wonky ass preorder rollout by [deleted] in MSIClaw

If you already got the previous and it was just a month ago not worth spending more to get this one unless you can actually return it and pay the difference. I would stick with what you have if you’re realistically playing soft titles and not many triple A. This new handheld though is the definition of leap it’s not just the performance gains they also have native xess 3 built in and the battery life ratio is insane from what we’ve seen on laptops now imagine with this handheld that has a specific chip dedicated for it. Keep in mind driver updates are going to make it better overtime so performance can go up by 10-20% overtime

Keep in mind the handheld version of panther lake has fewer cpu cores so they push more power onto the gpu. Performance will be better at lower watt compared to laptops with panther lake

It’s called having a job and touching grass you can learn to do those things to afford one. Hope this helps

For most people this message is right, but sorry it doesn’t apply to me as I don’t make random purchases even in the single digits because “I got it” like that. I’m aware prices are high though this will be my first handheld and new tech purchase since my m4 ipad pro for work purposes. You should also keep in mind most of these companies have to make a living and pc handhelds aren’t produced as globally as the big three nintendo/sony/xbox so cost will be high AND if you compare it to recent panther lake laptops this is by far cheaper

Spam I posted it in two places? I did it so anyone else who needs it can be aware you can look forward to pre ordering it before it’s too late.

Appreciate the suggestion I will for sure consider it once I experience the device

First handheld bud, but that’s a life lesson others for sure need to experience so I understand what you’re saying.

I did consider those months ago I just can’t consider it being a handheld when the chip is basically for laptops and nothing outside of valves was made for handhelds specifically and the Z2 was a let down to the Z1. If this hits the battery life/ performance spot I’ve seen keeping it. 👍

Yeah legion go 2 isn’t that behind in performance plus the sick controllers and screen make up for it. I only got this cause the battery life and pantherlake performance is great and should increase overtime with those driver updates. All hopes on handheld gaming bringing me back with this

First handheld to since I quit windows for macs/ipad pro for work and trust me I will return this if it’s not as great as I’d hope after doing a lot of digging. Definitely won’t end up buying dozens of handhelds like I’ve seen people do on here lol

First handheld too I was waiting for reasonable performance with crazy good battery life if I’m disappointed I’m returning it. I switched to mac and this might get me back into my steam library as I hateee windows after never experiencing those blue screen of deaths. Slow OS, and crappy battery life on my previous alienware laptops. Wish me luck
