I already got stuck on the name tbh.

I really don't get how the "Claw" is not a keypad for the left hand or a mouse. Both would be things a gamer might intuitively think of as a "claw" thing. A gaming handheld?! Why? Because you apparently got the hardware out of a claw machine?!

    Well yeah, sure, if your target audience is 8 years old. I guess. 🤷

    With how many, many, many gamer targeted products look, apparently the target audience is 8 y/o. Idk if it helps or hurts sales.

    Will MSI's mascot is dragon. Maybe what's why it's called Claw.

    Incredible how OEMs keep fumbling this. Just give me a Steam Deck with prosumer performance and decent battery. Accomplish that how you want. Slap SteamOS on it then let me buy it. No, I don't want to figure out Armor Crate or MSI launcher or whatever. I just want to play games without having to babysit the thing.

    It has the giant sadness installed, so it can fuck right off. I'm not buying hardware that doesn't come with Linux anymore, I've been burnt before by their driver negligence / sabotage.
