The Full Story
LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans 💕
Two 2025 handhelds squaring off, both running Windows, both hungry for your attention, but taking wildly different routes to get there. The Legion Go S plays the clever card with its detachable controllers and built-in kickstand, creating play scenarios the Claw cannot replicate without accessories. It also comes in a SteamOS variant that keeps costs down while still delivering a great gaming experience. The MSI Claw 8 AI+ answers with pure muscle, packing an Intel chip that bulldozes through games with higher frame rates and prettier visuals than the Legion can manage. That bigger display really lets games breathe in a way the smaller screen cannot quite match. But performance is not everything when the Legion Go S gives you more ways to actually enjoy your games in different settings. If you game in one position, get the Claw. If you game in every position, get the Legion.
