    Did MSI accidentally let slip when its new Claw handhelds will ship?

    The Claw 8 AI Plus and Claw 7 AI Plus have appeared on Amazon for $899 and $799 respectively, and will ship Dec. 25th and Dec. 1st respectively, per Videocardz... but the listings seem to have been stripped of those crucial details now.

    MSI already announced both handhelds in June as quick followups to the embarrassing original. Lunar Lake could bring better performance and battery, but apparently not pricing.

    This tiny gaming laptop has two keyboards, one beneath the other.

    I have a hard time believing this OneGx2 could be comfortable to hold, but major kudos if OneXPlayer can figure it out! I’m currently toying with a similar GPD machine that hides its joysticks beneath little covers, but a split keyboard and sticks beneath a full keyboard is something else.

    Lenovo accidentally confirms Legion Go S yet again — with a budget AMD chip.

    If you read my Lenovo Legion Go review and thought “that but less expensive and cumbersome,” Videocardz may have good news: the unannounced smaller “Legion Go S 8ARP1” now has a firmware update for its unannounced AMD Rembrandt APU. That’s a last-gen architecture that should be more affordable than AMD’s “Extreme” line.

    Also, though: the original Legion Go is its best price ever right now.

    Riot Games now reserves the right to police what you say about League of Legends and Valorant.

    Riot says it’ll punish creators who violate its ToS anywhere on the internet, not just within its games:

    Though we aren’t going to proactively monitor everything that happens across social media, it is now within our rights to issue penalties in-game when that content is brought to our attention.

    Examples: hateful slurs, social media posts that promote rulebreaking, stream sniping, and offers to buy and sell accounts. Also, Riot says it’ll now ban players across all its games at once.

    A black PlayStation Portal is reportedly on the way.

    Bilibil-kun, the Dealabs leaker who correctly revealed the design of the PlayStation 5 Pro, now says the currently white PS Portal will soon be available in black for the same $200 price.

    While the PS Portal can only stream games, it recently got updated to stream some of them from the cloud. Meanwhile, Sony’s also reportedly working on a true Nintendo Switch / Steam Deck rival.

    Gmail on Android now lets you drag and drop contacts between “To” “CC” and “BCC” instead of retyping them.

    I would have sworn this feature already existed — probably because it does on desktop Gmail! But Google says it’s new for Android. Just expand your CC and BCC fields, drop your finger atop any email address for a moment, then drag it where you’d like.

    Nvidia just made nearly $20 billion in pure profit in a single quarter.

    $14.8 billion profit in Q1, $16.6 billion in Q2, and now $19.3 billion in Q3 of fiscal 2025 — that’s profit, not earnings. (Earnings were $35.08 billion, up from $30.04 billion last quarter.)

    The vast majority is from AI data center, of course — but gaming did have a 14 percent bump. It’s a $3B-a-quarter business, while data center is a $30B one.

    Remember the first foldable phone? Its maker is now bankrupt.

    I’m not talking about the fragile Samsung Galaxy Fold — but rather the “charmingly awful” Royale FlexPai that kicked off the entire foldable-screen craze in 2018! (Royale released a decent sequel, but by then Samsung found its stride.)

    By 2019, folding phones had captured our imagination: I showed you how they were the stuff of science fiction, and we did a wacky field guide!
