              @Twisty: I believe it gets close to half the frames of the legion go on fortnite.

              • Twisty on 01/12/2024 - 15:28

                @Originality: Ok thanks
                Best to not waste the $$ and get in trouble again

                @Originality: Are you kidding? Who would rather pay $400 more for a Legion with similar specs? lol

                • Originality on 02/12/2024 - 12:37

                  @RYGA: What? Why would I pay $400 more for a legion go with "similar specs" when they've been available for $170 more than the Ultra 7. With superior performance + screen.

                  @RYGA: The drivers are garb town on the MSI, performance is sub par, likely the reason this ending up in the bargain bin.

  • kingmoron on 01/12/2024 - 13:09

    Pity this a coupon and can't price match at Officeworks

  • ContinuousCustomer on 01/12/2024 - 16:07

    Meh, where is the SD deal?

  • RYGA on 01/12/2024 - 19:05

    OMG, tomorrow last day? ! i prob need to get one tomorrow crazy price!

  • banterbants on 01/12/2024 - 20:50

    I've ordered one. I mostly will be playing PokeMMO, AFL 23, F1 and do some emulation + some PS remote play. I just couldn't justify spending potentially double on the ROG series (yes aware of the $720 deal on amazon for the ally but prefer not getting from overseas just incase of warranty issues) . Although the steam deck is good value, not all my games are on steam and I wasnt keen on sideloading windows as lots of people doing it have said there are massive performance drops by doing that.

    Ah, thankfully appears that the core ultra 5 model has gone out of stock. Temptation deleted

    • The Value on 02/12/2024 - 11:07

      The Ultra 7 is only an extra $60 and at that point, you might as well fork out the extra $40 for 1TB!

      • xyron on 02/12/2024 - 11:09

        Haha, nice try!

  • MayhemVC on 02/12/2024 - 11:01

    Possibly a bit off topic but most of the issues with this are likely to be due to the Intel Arc iGPU. I bought a NUC12 Enthusiast which has an Intel Arc A770m GPU and it's been nothing but pain. Intel have been very dedicated in updating drivers, but this is to get it to the point where it is OK and not terrible. I've been burnt to the tune of $1200 so I'm hesitant to dive into Intel Arc again until they stop releasing hardware in an unfinished/unsupported state. I think the Claw would be good for light gaming/emulation and non-gaming tasks.
    Just as a side note they seem to be focussing driver compatibility with more recent games so, somewhat ironically, older games which should perform better from a hardware perspective perform poorly or not at all with Arc.

      yeah saw a test review video and the device was literally bottlenecked by the Intel gpu

    • Butt Scratcher on 02/12/2024 - 12:27

      I agree, when it comes to gaming, it seems to be the intel drivers that is letting it down.

      When it comes to synthetic benchmarks, it seems quite comparable, if not better than the AMD equivalent handhelds. Which will probably translate quite well when it comes to emulation.

      • MayhemVC on 02/12/2024 - 18:47

        Arc GPUs perform exceptionally well for graphic tasks that aren't gaming. They are very good for graphic design and video editing. They have a bonus feature where a system like my NUC12 which has both an integrated GPU and dedicated GPU can run in tandem. So the Claw is probably not a bad system if intending to use it as a MiniPC for everything other than gaming (well some gaming).

    Great price, not listening to the naysayers. At this price, its amazing. I've done all the firmware and bios updates. Running everything so far like a dream. Emulation and Fortnite. Emulating all the way up to 360

    • econzune on 02/12/2024 - 19:33

      I thought 360 emulation not running at all, only up to PS2? Can you elaborate? Also, do you have ultra 5 or 7? Thank you!

    so glad it's oos. for those who missed out, Umart is selling these models at around $50 higher than Centre Com, which means you can price beat at officeworks to get closer to Centre Com price.

  • Twisty on 02/12/2024 - 21:51

    How does the Claw compare against the Steam Deck in terms of performance on games?

    On a side note, I love how the RGB lights change on the buttons when you play, does this happen on the other systems?

    • YeemaiI on 02/12/2024 - 23:22

      Plenty of performance comparisons on YT

  • goldiep on 02/12/2024 - 21:54

    Back in stock. Rolled the dice and bout the A1M7 with the 1TB SSD.

    • omygodde on 02/12/2024 - 23:30

      From what I can see, core ultra 7 1Tb is out of stock, the one listed for $699 is core ultra 5 1Tb down from $899.

      Thanks for sharing.

      • heef on 04/12/2024 - 20:34

        2 left as of writing now. Can't make a post as not enough haha

        • The Value on 04/12/2024 - 20:38

          I'm procrastinating hard.

          Lenovo are slow with the updates to drivers but does that really matter…?

          • heef on 04/12/2024 - 20:42

            @The Value: If I were to buy one, I'd go with Linux anyway, but that's just my 2¢

  • harmlessfieldmice on 05/12/2024 - 15:03

    does anyone know how to manipulate time and space so i could still get one of these?

    For those who ended up picking one up, you are probably eligible for a copy of skull and bones.

    Never heard of the game, and it seems they didn't even bother to advertise it. But free is free.
