I recently purchased the Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro (12gb) with the ShadowBlade gamepad and GameSir G8 Galileo gamepad and I'm honestly amazed at how well it plays games, it literally feels like one of these handheld PC gaming machines, now mind you my RM9P probably can't do as much as what those can but for being a gaming phone it's done as well as any gaming phone could possibly be done
He probably wasn't allowed to compare it directly to competing handhelds as a condition of getting a review unit. Or even mention them. If a company sponsors a video about their own product, they are almost always controlling the narrative.
@@jonasfrey9649 He has no clue... Anyone that can read numbers can see that AMD mobile chips are mroe efficient, more powerful and have a better igpu. It was clear even from the heavily censored first reviews of Core Ultra...
@@curtismiller1854That most likely ain't a problem of the amd chipset, more of a windows problem sadly.. i had a similar ishue on my laptop and it was just programs that were running in the background because of windows.. deinstall all the stuff you don't need, it'll work fine hopefully.. otherwise send it back, it's a warranty case, because that is not normal... mine works easy on 10w and 15w while watching youtube... good luck! 🤜🤛
Is this another useless spec review paid by MSI? The device is out for weeks in Asia but still there is rarely real game test because of driver/stuttering issue.
@@testing-testing5392 It came out to Asia market since Valentine. There are plenty of stocks for both model i5 and i7 in Computer shop. And You can see some rough test in Chinese channel. The frame rate is good but a lot of stuttering. Til now, there is no driver to fix. MSI community here in my country , Thailand, also has a bad feedback and a lot of people are selling their device.

So bad that customer protection law in Thailand is not strong as in USA. We cannot return the device so have to sell it.
@@justswitched8841 Cuz amd has way more mature drivers so its better optimized., intel drivers, are just starting to ramp up, as u know AMD has been working on GPU drivers for such a long time, and a intel is pretty new, just released arc graphics card a few years ago.
@@justswitched8841 AMD is performing better and at lower TDP, judging by the few tests so far. Especially at the price the Claw is a very bad value product... It offers nothing to justify the price, unfortunately.
Hall effect joysticks, but poor quality plastic. Mine got scratched from dust/dirt in the controller stick and now it grinds. So, no stick drift, but stick grind.
Did you notice if the claw has VRR (variable refresh rate) from your testing? I cannot find an exact answer to this question anywhere, so any info you can give would be greatly appreciated
It does not have VRR. I confirm. The device came out to Asia market since valentine. Anyone now can find it in computer shop. And it is so disappointed if comparing price and performance problem.
Its size is perfect not as big as legion go. Also windows is the best i hated the compatibility problems on my SD. If the performance is on par with legion go and the battery is as good as SD Oled than it will be the best out there.
4:20 limited to steam is pretty funny considering steam has the largest library. Not to mention if you want to take advantage of in home streaming you get the best performance through steam … aaaaaand you can always put windows on an SD card if your really wanting that experience on deck.
I've windows with dualboot on deck and the performance is significantly worse than on steamos. It lacks driver updates. Also epic games is mostly way cheaper than steam and getting epic games on steamos is a pain. Steamos has too much compatibility problems.
i think i'm gonna enjoy playing on it cuz the only handhelds that i own are worse performance a switch lite a 150 euro smartphone that cannot even run fall guy's which is a shame
Unfortunately MSI claw performance is big let down, inferior performance to the 7840u and Z1 extreme chips. No amount of hall effect joysticks can save it 😖
"This is not a review this is just an overview of some of the features in the device" Mfs in the comment: WOAH WHAT A LAME REVIEW!!!!1 yeah becauase it's not, he already mentioned they will be doing a full review later, stop giving this guy shit for nothing
Useless paid video with MSI trying their hardest to get someone to debunk all the issues people already know are going to exist with this overpriced item
When your chip underperforms so badly you have to make the analog sticks your selling point
He can't go back because its joystick but can cope with a bad igpu 😂

You’ve spent a week with it and you won’t give any performance info?
We'll be covering that in our full review!
Paid review what you expect
This isn't a review, it's an ad
Obviously he knows too well about the stuttering issue. Intel igpu is bad.
@@mobilesyrupembargo?
Legion Go and all Ayaneo devices have Hall Effect sticks.
For sure. I'm really happy so many handhelds are supporting them. These are the best feeling ones I've used so far.

Noob paid review. This is sub par device. Only noob play with msi claw@@mobilesyrup
Most other current handheld besides Ally and Deck has Hall effect sticks. AyaNeo, GPD, Onexplayer, AOKZOE; they all have hall sticks.
But the Legion Go is awful.
Glad I got the ally! The claw is going to suck wind compared to any amd counterpart
Not really, the ally suck because amd
@@RP123lolololol Where does the ally suck because of AMD? Works fine for a Windows machine...
@@jonasfrey9649 He has no clue... Anyone that can read numbers can see that AMD mobile chips are mroe efficient, more powerful and have a better igpu. It was clear even from the heavily censored first reviews of Core Ultra...
I was watching a RUclips video review on the claw and that thing was eating close to 50 watts and getting toasty no thanks I'll stick with my ally

It just came out on the 8 march and stores on 12 march. So no you must be talking of something else.

Because they are still under a review embargo correct?
Wrong its been out for weeks here in china too and no one reviews it lmfao @@testing-testing5392
I will probably get one but Intel is not as power efficient as amd. I will wait for a brunch of open box ones to be returned and get one for 500
the GPU is strong as a gtx 1060 mobile, so its not too bad. Should be able to run most games, and emulation pretty easily.
@georgepierre3594 Really? Performance doesn't look great from the earlier comparisons I've seen.The amd is definitely Performing better.

I made a computer primarily msi components and this gadget really matches my build
The battery life sounds promising. Thanks for the first impressions. Got an rough idea what it’s going to provide as a device
its not at all lol, worst out of all the gaming devices by far
Hall effect joysticks, but poor quality plastic. Mine got scratched from dust/dirt in the controller stick and now it grinds. So, no stick drift, but stick grind.

@@Zel912 that's why I saw from those early reviews, I'm still hoping the US version is a bit different.
They sent you this to not review it. 🤔

Finally, a new hands on video!
MSI should use Amd chip or ARM chip
Intel.

Also is a 1920x1080 not 1200
Yeah, I think you're right about that. It supports 16:10 ratios, so I assumed it was 1200p. Good catch!
MSI dropped the ball on marketing
Paid youtubers will make up for that :)
@@beckinbinderin at this rate, I doubt they're even gonna hire any paid shills
@@monki_sudo I'm pretty sure today is the official release day. I've seen other customers get theirs as well
maybe not cause it gonna criticize the performances 😅 @@monki_sudo
@@Muhluri Well, you're commenting on a video of one...
ill wait for linus or steve to review it.. until then its a waiting game..
i think i'm gonna enjoy playing on it cuz the only handhelds that i own are worse performance a switch lite a 150 euro smartphone that cannot even run fall guy's which is a shame
lol the back is mainly just vents for the fans, awww man cases will look absolutely terrible on this
Unfortunately MSI claw performance is big let down, inferior performance to the 7840u and Z1 extreme chips. No amount of hall effect joysticks can save it 😖
Ive had people telling me they want this subpar device for the hall effect stick now, probably because of this paid ad review
It has not been out long enough to say what you are saying and no to Intel graphics drivers.
the chip is truly so underwhelming with this device. pretty sad to see honestly
As long as it xan play fortnite on epic settings for 2hr m buyng it ..Only intel versions

yeah becauase it's not, he already mentioned they will be doing a full review later, stop giving this guy shit for nothing
Just tell the truth…. This device is so unfinished. No driver update is going to fix how underperforming it is. Intel was a bad choice
What an amateur and useless review.
WELL MAKE UR OWN REVIEW GUY!!!

It’s a paid review no?
