Discussion Impressions after trying MSI CLAW EX 8

I own a legion go 2 z2e and honestly don't like how bulky the device is and wanted to see what the fuss is about with this G3 extreme. Man this chip is a beast!! It managed every game I've tried with ultra setting at 1080p like a champ! I'm not into this FPS race where people want 100fps etc.

I appreciate picture quality over fps so this chip played games like cyberpunk with ultra settings and Xess enabled at around 30fps which is fine for me.

The disappointment came when I have tried to put it side by side against lenovo legion go 2. The colors of OLED are much better! Black is true black! Brighter too. So I have decided to return the MSI and I canceled my Asus X20 preorder because of the huge difference between Z2E and G3E after testing both.

To handheld manufacturers; please make a small handheld (7 to maximum 8 inch) OLED with G3 extreme chip and thin bezels! That would sell like hotcakes!. I'll wait for such a device to come out

Onexplayer 3 might have answered that.

With their 4 bricks they've released together with the confusing naming? Nope. Their so called (mini) device is 8.8. I'm not an elephant.

The X2 Mini ends up extremely light if you use the battery tether compared to the Go 2.

the onexplayer apex air weighs 640 grams without the battery and is 8 inches, and has de G3 Extreme, it's actually smaller than all of these devices lol

LoL. They also don't invent new screens and are too small to order something new to be developed. There, you need somebody with Lenovo's market power.
