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. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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 SICK Update 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. Read more

Tenía duda sobre invertir mucho dinero en esta consola, pero puedo decir ahora con toda certeza y seguridad que esta consola no solo cumple, supera mis expectativas y sobre todo vale cada centavo. Esta versión de MSI con chip Intel es totalmente distinta a todo lo que he comprado, Rog Ally, Steamdeck y Legión Go, corre la mayoría de juegos AAA arriba de los 30 - 40 FPS en calidad media y con una resolución 1920x1200, lo cual es un extasis visual y para los más exigentes (como yo) cumple muchísimo con este tema de calidad gráfica en relación con rendimiento. Por ultimo los materiales de construcción son excepcionales, se siente robustez y calidad, por lo cual se siente un equipo de gama alta y lo que son gatillos y joystick es de lo mejor en handhelds. Sin duda MSI me ha comprado como usuario y si vuelve a sacar una consola que compita o supere al mercado me tendrá como cliente asegurado. Read more
