Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “MSI Claw: The new KING gaming handheld?!”.
You probably recognize MSI for its renowned line of gaming laptops, but now the company is jumping into a new vertical handheld gaming. It just announced the MSI claw, which goes head-to-head with other handhelds like the steam deck, the Lenovo Legion go and the Asus Rog Ally. But, unlike those other handhelds MSI had the benefit of a little extra time on its hands, so it’s taken its time to really fine-tune the design sculpt the controllers a little better and wait for the latest and greatest from Intel starting inside the MSI claw pairs. Both the latest Intel Ultra chip, either the five or seven Edition with Intel’s artc Graphics. So you know you’re getting pretty much the best that Intel can push through a handheld during our short time with it.
It felt great in game. We played through a little bit of Sonic and a little bit of Assassin’s Creed and it felt buttery smooth both high, and when I wanted to jump between games, I was able to use either MSI Windows interface or its MSI Center, one offering a little more control. If you need to install titles or shift your storage around and the other offering much easier access to games and either interface comes to life on MSI 7in, full HD, 120 HZ display, which is just the right size for heading out traveling and just honestly gaming. On the go to make things a little better, MSI took all of its cooling technology and crammed it down into a handheld form factor, putting vents all over the back with two fans and two pipes inside to keep cool air flowing throughout and if you’re.
Looking for a couple, easy accessories for your MSI claw, whether you want to push your experience a little further bump up, the specs MSI is going to launch an external GPU and a dock that you can plug into. But both are coming separately and at a little bit of a later date, MSI Claw is coming somewhere in q1 of 2024, so you’ll be able to get your hands on it pretty soon, and it’s coming in three configurations. First, with the Intel Ultra 5 for $ 699, second, with the Intel Ultra 7 for $ 7.49 and third, with the Intel Ultra 7 and a terab of storage for $ 7.99. We’Re excited to get a little more time with the MSI claw in the future. But in the meantime you can follow all of Android authority, CES 2024 content down below .
