MSI Claw PC Gaming Handheld: Intel Ultra 7-258V, 7" FHD 120Hz Display, 32GB LPDDR5, 512GB NVMe SSD, MicroSD Card Reader, Thunderbolt 4, Win 11 Home: Black 7 AI+ A2VM-001US

This is an awesome device. Super fast, excellent graphics, quiet fans, great sound, easy to navigate. Quick shipping. I was skeptical of the third party seller at first, as always, but everything seems to be in order and im really glad I took the chance on it.Haven't had any issues whatsoever with the system/device, and it appears to be brand new as it was advertised. I just got it, but so far I am extremely happy with it! Will update if anything changes.Highly recommend. This thing is SICKUpdate after a couple of weeks.. this thing is AWESOME. Its a whole a** PC. Truly a powerful and versatile device. Its going to replace the laptop I normally travel with. Im truly impressed.

Once I got past all the installs, I've had pretty much smooth sailing. Downloaded 4 fairly large games and had a great time trying out fallout london.As with all pc handhelds, please maintain realistic expectations; this will run most things I've thrown at it, but you will have to drop resolution somewhat for decent frames.Ergonomics are great, battery has been about as expected and the speakers sound phenomenal, genuinely. Touchscreen has caused no issues and thumb sticks are comfy. Screen is plenty bright and sharp as well.Would recommend! Especially when it's in stock.

I have had the claw 8 ai+ for a month now and love it. With it being a windows device, it comes with all the pains of windows updates but that was expected. Otherwise, this thing is great! It can handle most newer games on at least medium settings. A lot of newer games will run ultra. The best part is I can use steam, xbox, gog, epic, ea, ubisoft and whatever other launchers. I get about an hour and a half when playing when not plugged in with ai settings on. I get about one hour with all settings maxed. I got a 100w charger (it comes with a 45w) and a dock to hook it up to my tv. Works fine, just make sure you have low latency (gaming mode on some tvs) turned on.It is BIG for a handheld, but that's what I wanted. But, it is strangely lightweight for how big it is. The screen is super bright and the speakers are decent. They aren't super high quality, but they are fine for gaming. Just don't expect to use it as your primary way of listening to music. Also, the 2 thunderbolt ports make it semi-futureproof. You can use those to hook up an external GPU if you want.I do wish that it came with a true users guide. There are a lot of little tips and tricks that it doesn't tell you. Such as, I had no idea the power button doubles as a fingerprint scanner! I would definitely watch some YouTube videos on features and tips for it. And as always, UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE all the software and firmware. It will run much better.Pros: great battery life, can handle most games, has all the features of a windows laptop.Cons: price, speakers, and no real user guide.Overall, if you have the money, I would recommend it.

This is a truly incredible device.I'm probably an atypical user, in that I've got more than my share of electronics, and I'm still not really sure how to best define my use case. I've got a desktop build with a 5080, I've got a laptop with a 4070 (that I'm kind of lukewarm on), and I've got a Legion Go. I really wanted a device that had better battery life than the Go (maybe a slight bump in performance), but that didn't require all the set up of a laptop.It's a bit of a price jump relative to the other options currently available, but the performance of the device in the current market are unmatched (until the next generation of Z2E chips becomes accessible). I'd say the best comparable is probably the Ally X, which to be fair, is also a marvelous device. I chose this over the Ally, because I'd heard that MSI made up a lot of ground with their internals, and that the intel chip afforded better battery life than the Z1E.I could go on and on about this device, but genuinely, if you've got the money, and think that you're going to use it - you won't be disappointed. It is everything you might hope for from a handheld in 2025.

I'm gonna start with I have the MSI ge66 raider. I bought it 3 years ago and I love it. I never have a problem with it and it plays everything perfectly. With that being said I was very hopeful about getting the claw. Don't do it. Took a couple hours to set up, update, and get fallout 76 with some mods installed. I played it for an hour and everything worked perfect. Smooth great graphics everything was good. Went to take a nap and let it charge for an hour. When I woke up I went to turn it on and nothing. Just a couple of slight vibrations and nothing. Went online and looked up anything and everything I can do to make it work. I tried everything except opening it and nothing worked. I called MSI customer support next. I've dealt with some bad customer support in the day but MSI was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Literally no help whatsoever and just said to return it to Amazon. Don't waste your time, money, or aggravation. I'm just gonna order the steamdeck and call it a day.

One of the most powerful handhelds on the market. This is more like a mini PC than a handheld gaming system. The size of the screen is impressive and it runs fairly quickly with regular tasks. It was easy to use and set up. However, the price to performance just isn't there. Especially if you want this to be portable, the battery life isn't the greatest.
