MSI launches Claw 8 AI+ handheld gaming device with improved performance and graphics

The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is a new handheld gaming device priced at $900, featuring an 8-inch screen and improved performance compared to its predecessor, the Claw A1M. It includes an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V chip and 32GB of RAM. The Claw 8 AI+ offers better graphics and battery life, with an 80 Whr capacity. However, it remains bulky at 795 grams, which may affect comfort during extended use. The updated software, Center M, has improved usability but still has some glitches. While the Claw 8 AI+ shows significant improvements, it faces competition from other handhelds like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally X. Its performance in demanding games varies, and users may want to consider portability and price before purchasing.
