Every competitor is better, and most of them are cheaper.

The worst part for me, is it sounds like it has good well thought out software, but the hardware choice crippled them. It sounds like better specs but the steamdeck (proud owner) was made on the cheap and is outclassing them at half price.
The steamdeck is a masterclass in prioritisation and optimisation, but even considering that I think valve is likely still selling most variants at a loss. The claw does seem fucking shit tho. I’d say they should have used Linux but I wouldn’t trust msi to make that work in any kind of sensible way tbh.
imagine putting windows + intel cpu on a handheld lol
My steam deck runs Windows 11 at full speed to take advantage of the xbox game pass. My two surfaces both arm and intel run win 11 at full speed, I dont understand your comment. The one major complaint is that SteamOS sleep is a killer feature, not a day goes by that I do not covet it. Windows sleep does not exist and is left out in reviews but honestly to a regular person is the biggest difference, and is why I can not recommend anything other than steamdeck.
it seems that you didn’t understand my comment. What I wanted to highlight is, both AMD CPU’s and Linux use up less battery than Intel CPU’s and Windows 11 while gaming. Why are you telling me something about “my steam deck runs windows 11 at “”“full speed””“(?)”? If you check GamersNexus’ MSI Claw review, you’ll realize that its battery life is pretty bad compared to other handhelds, arguably one of the most important stats of a handheld.
Welcome to Lemmy. If Windows is ever mentioned, the knee jerk reaction is "Windows bad. Linux good.”
Windows bad. Linux good.
Don’t get me started on how many fear mongering articles keep making it to the top with comments about “Microsoft adding anti-features with no way to disable them” or “Microsoft will just reset it with the next update anyway, why bother” because people can’t be bothered to take 5 minutes to skim through the settings app. Learned helplessness.
I get the frustration that it’s necessary in the first place. I get the frustration when it’s something that needs to be fixed through the registry or group policy because that’s not straight forward.
But the sheer amount of false information being parroted by people who never took the time to look into configuring their own device is absolutely absurd.
I did configure quite some Windows systems for friends and still have a Laptop with Win10 LTSC. It was a pain in the ass and I will parrot Windows bad until Windows ded
