There’s a very real chance that PC gaming handhelds could cost a thousand dollars as standard, and the pre-order pricing for the MSI Claw A8 with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme proves it.
As confirmed by MSI, the new handheld is launching this month, and preorders have started in Asia on MSI’s store, and the price given is 6,999 RMB. There is a lower price, that's offered via the Chinese government’s 15% subsidy on consumer tech, which means you could get it for 5,949 RMB.
