Just found out today that MSI has its own Z2 Extreme handheld:
MSI Claw A8

Key specs:
AMD Z2 Extreme
24GB LPDDR5X RAM
M.2 2280 SSD support
Dual-fan + dual heatsink cooling
80Wh battery
8″ 120Hz VRR display
2 × USB4 Type-C (Thunderbolt-compatible)

On paper, it pretty much ticks all the right boxes between the ROG Xbox Ally X and the Legion Go 2.

Weight comparison:
ROG Xbox Ally X – 715g
MSI Claw A8 – 765g
Lenovo Legion Go 2 – 920g

Price (MYR):
ROG Xbox Ally X – RM4,599
Lenovo Legion Go 2 – RM5,069
MSI Claw A8 – RM3,889

Honestly, if I didn’t already own the OG ROG Ally, I’d pick the MSI Claw A8 over the rest. That said, I’m probably going to wait for Z3 Extreme — this could be the biggest performance jump yet if AMD brings Zen 6’s sea-of-wires technology to the mobile/handheld lineup.

not including cable, the 100W cable i bought like few years ago lol, back then 100W charger were rare and expensive.

A lot of thing are in promotions, like 100w 2000mah powerbank, also around 57 SGD.
Their 100W charging cable like 1 cent only with free shipping lol, but for first time buyer only

I'd wait few more generations, but yeah you may go for Z3E
I may stay until Z4 or Z5 comes out.

I hope Asus can improve the buttons lol, feels mushy compared to DS4. plus the B button sometimes will stuck, when pressing the B button, must bias to left side a bit, if accidentally press the edge of the button it will stuck.
