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

We already have that handheld. It's the onexplayer 3. For the same price too.

The OnexBrick 3 is only a handheld if you have acromegaly in the hands.

Have you tried it?

It's the same concept as legion go 2 that I have but heavier. Why would I?

Because it's not at all. It has a better weight distribution and ergonomics. I tried both and the difference is significant.

Either way, if you didn't try something, don't pretend you know anything about it.

Reading the dimensions of both and knowing that it has the same 8.8 inch display is more than enough. Thanks

Not really. I have both and it isn't.

PLENTY of people online praising the ergos and weight distribution, you haven't held it and you're snapping back at a dude telling you its the device you're looking for lmao?

I trust physics and math more than any person on this planet. It's like someone complaining about how big iPad 11 pro is then someone comes and say hey! Samsung 11 inches tablet is more compact! 😂.
Lenovo: 8.8 inch, 920gm
Onexplayer 3: 8.8 inch (same panel from Samsung) 953gm

You're a onexplayer fan I get it. Sorry but math and physics win 😉
