This is factually wrong and needs to be edited/corrected "Currently, all gaming handhelds except for the Steam Deck use AMD hardware,"

Other then that, good write up. All Handheld suffer the same launch issue - Drivers. Intel's graphical drivers have always been lacking until they started to work on ARC and took it a bit more seriously. I expect the Claw to follow suite of the Ally in regards to software/driver maturity.

I dont know how anyone could expect these handhelds to replace a gaming laptop or current gen PS/XBOX. The hardware and power is just not there for that to really happen. The Ally/Legion is a close contender due to the Z1E and pushing one of the highest plugged in power profiles. However, you are still forced to low/medium presets for most(if not all) AAA releases to hit that 30FPS-45FPS native performance (AFMF and FSR3 aside).
