MSI's next "Claw 8 EX AI+" moves closer to a $2,000 price tag — as the handheld gaming industry seemingly loses its collective mind

Not as long as people are still buying.
Crazy... idk what 2k gets you with a PC these days, but i thought the handheld market was great only because it offered flexibility at a great cost. At 2k im buying the best PC i can for that price.
It gets you 32gb of ram, a 5070, and a decent cpu. The display won't be any good, but you've gotta make compromises with the cost of ram.
And it runs for what, hour and a half maybe? Portables need to keep in their weight class, and a nerfed 5070 and 32 GB of ram is silly. What's it gonna do, run cyberpunk on ultra long enough to get through the intro?
