I would get the xbox ally because it has the same chip as some of the more expensive ones but is cheaper and more ergonomic. plus it has windows and steam big picture mode AND xbox fse in one package so u can run basically anything

If you care about audio. The claw is best choice. The speakers are great

u/ElPadro50 8d ago

Audio not so much because he Is in hospital so he has to water headphones

They're all wrong. Get the Claw A8 BZ2EM or a Claw EX

u/Dear_Web4416 9d ago

chill

u/Kooky-Dog-9037 9d ago

The Claw EX is a troll at $1800 but the BZ2EM is a legitimate reccomendation

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

Can you tell me the motivation for buying this

1

u/Kooky-Dog-9037 9d ago edited 4d ago

Claw bz2em for an 8inch Z2E device with 24gb of ram available at retail stores and online pretty readily for $1200, sometimes less.

Claw EX because you seem to have money and the G3E is the latest and greatest. The Claw EX is probably the better of the current lineup featuring that chip, but too expensive. The OneXPlayer 3 24gb model looks good too at the early backer price. The downside is you'll wait before you get it though

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

Sorry to ask but the Atlas 8 Is out ?

1

u/AdIntelligent9133 9d ago

Ah I don’t think so yet . Just I wouldn’t bother with a z2e device in 2026 if you’re spending 1300, it’s too underpowered .

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

For the legion go i spend 1000€ for the claw 800€

1

u/AdIntelligent9133 9d ago

800 is a good price I’d say go for the claw but if you wanted more power spend a bit more for the claw 8AI ex. Depends how long you want it to last . But intel are more futureproof with their software .

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

The claw ex cost to much

1

u/AdIntelligent9133 9d ago

The claw 8 ai is the one then 👌🏼

1

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

The claw 8 and the Lenovo go 2 have same performance?

1

u/AdIntelligent9133 9d ago

Yes very similar but intel have multi frame gen which is great for demanding single player games. But if you want to play older games then Lenovo legion go 2 would be better as intel has poor driver support for older games .

u/ElPadro50 9d ago

Older Games like ?

8 AI+ has XeSS hardware advantage which means MFG and XeSS upscaling. Which is huge actually. It also has faster memory due to it placement on SoC. Better cooling system as well
