Valve’s Steam Deck came out back in early 2022. Subsequently, many brands have attempted tolaunch their ownhandheld gaming console.ASUS ROG Allymade me personally love handhelds, especially those based onWindows 11. With the upcoming launch of MSI’s CLAW handheld gaming console, the future of these incredibly portable PCs is quite bright.
If you wonder why I referred to these handhelds as personal computers, it’s because the ROG Ally orSteam Deck running Windowsworks just fine as a normal computer! Intel Core Ultra chips on MSI’s latest gaming handheld will definitely take it to the next level.
