The original MSI Claw was a bit of a dud. A premium handheld gaming PC plagued by glitchy software and beaten by rivals on price, it was a rare misfire from a veteran gaming brand, lasting just a few months on the shelves before MSI pulled the plug.
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is take two. A comprehensive overhaul for the handheld, it rips out the old internals, replacing them with a new Intel Lunar Lake processor, a bigger 8in screen, a frankly enormous 80Wh battery and a sprinkling of AI optimisation to help with power and performance.
