Yesterday, on my way to work out, I passed a pawn shop and saw an MSI Claw with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM...

The device was turned off and priced at $600; is it worth it?

In fact, given the situation with PlayStation, I'm thinking about getting a new handheld. I already have a Switch 2, and I'd use the laptop to run PS3 or PS4 emulators—something with top-tier performance.

And play the current games

What do you recommend?

Switch 2!

*I'm just being a jackass. I will never even touch the others... I do actually own a Steamdeck OLED, but I don't think it's been powered on for 6ish months.

It's the Claw, but only if you prefer Windows. I don't think Steam OS have optimized drivers for it. Steam Deck might have a few advantages on very low TDP.

I have xbox rog ally x (windows) and lenovo legion go s (steam OS), and surprisingly I played with legion go s more even though it have lower specs.

Tinkering windows on small screen (7 inch) is just exhausting, every menu is either small or too small.
If you want windows, between all of those probably legion go 2 since it has biggest screen, but I played with it on the store and definitely didn't like it, too big and heavy for my hands.

It also depends on the games you play, many titles, including popular multi-player games, are not supported on steam OS. I think this is a big disadvantage of stemdeck.

The most powerful would anything with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395/388.

Then the ones with the new Intel Arc G3 chips.

Then older Intel Arc APUs like in some Claw models.

Then some of these mainstream devices with Z1E/Z2/Z2E.

Steam Deck last.

I think SteamOS added Intel support recently
