Claw’s eye-popping visuals aren’t enough to topple Steam Deck’s day-to-day ease
MSI’s Claw 8 EX AI Plus offers noticeably crisper visuals and higher frame rates than a Steam Deck OLED in several tested games, but The Verge notes the Windows-based setup is cumbersome and the device’s $1,799 price, heavier weight, IPS LCD, and lack of Deck-like touchpads keep it from being a clear upgrade for Steam Deck users; a deeper review is forthcoming, and many players may prefer to wait.
