MSI has brought the next generation of its Claw gaming handhelds to Taipei, showing off the new Claw 8 EX AI+ on the Computex showfloor. With improvements not just under the hood, but in the grips, sticks, and motors, the brand is looking to compete with similar horsepower levels in the Acer Predator Atlas 8 and OneXPlayer 3 when Intel's new cohort of handhelds hit the market this year.
Right now, though, it's looking like MSI's new release is going to cost you more than some gaming laptops. The brand told The Shortcut that it's aiming for a $1,500 launch price, though rumors are still circulating on whether that's the top-of-the-range model you'll find on the showfloor this week, or the bottom rung of the ladder.
