Yeah, its pretty much am miniature windows machine in a handheld format, but the implementation is the poorest out of all the manufactures and as another person pointed out, this is hot garbage in general. MSI dumped these almost as soon as they launched them because they didn't implement the hardware to work for handheld gaming at all. Also no mention of SteamOS on Intel CPU's so no saving it by putting steam OS on it like you can legion or ally.

I would not spend over $250 on these, who knows how much longer MSI will actually provide any meaningful firmware for them.

Interesting that the Ultra 7 version is cheaper than the Ultra 5 version was over the weekend.

Can this thing be used as an HTPC device, either wirelessly casting to a TV or via HDMI (perhaps USB-C to HDMI)?

Give it a shot, you got a 1 month return policy, but for me it was more trouble than it was worth.
Got the 2TB drive installed, had a hard time understanding why my drive wasn't showing up during Windows 11 install. Then I figured I needed the Intel drivers in order to see the drive for install... Never had seen that one before... Anyway, I'm pretty happy about this device overall. Not perfect, but it's nice to have this much horsepower in such a small package. I'm definitely keeping mine.

Thats good that it worked for you., all I wanted was a decent plex server that can play some games on my living room TV and this didn't work for me, so what I did instead, I had a spare HP i5-11400 small tower, I bought a radeon 6600 video card for 220 from Microcenter and so far its been working flawlessly. Should've done that from the beginning.

After trying out gaming with this A1M, versus the ROG ALLY I got last week at Best Buy for x$450 it was a huge difference in favor of the ALLY. Forza Horizon 5 at 900p was 62 frames average on the A1M, versus 79 frames on TURBO mode, or 82 frames MAX TDP settings on the ALLY. Plus, you can officially install Steam OS on the ALLY. I'll probably just stick with Windows 11. You can also change the allocated GPU memory to up to 8GB via BIOS on the ALLY. There's a 74Wh battery for the ROG ALLY and you can also use a full size NVMe drives with an adapter. Those two are huge benefits over the A1M. There is an annoying issue with the A1M as well, Windows 11 Home insisted on overriding my brand new GPU drivers and installing OLD Intel GPU drivers through Windows update. I almost went insane. Could only fix it by upgrading to Widows 11 Pro and turning off driver updates, which is not available on Windows Home. It's a much more powerful CPU overall on the A1M, but the graphics are a lot worse for gaming and it lasts 45 minutes on battery. It's really unacceptable unless you only play plugged in on the A1M. It's bad that the ALLY only has USB 3.2 and not 40Gbps Thunderbolt like the A1M and the grip is much nicer than the ALLY as well.

Ya i returned mines because it was more headache than it was worth. I'm sure other deals for a better product will pop up.
