MSI Claw (512 GB)

The MSI Claw is the first major handheld to break the AMD monopoly by integrating Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 processors (depending on the variant) with Intel Arc graphics. Its design is very similar to the ROG Ally but with slightly sturdier ergonomics. It features a 7-inch Full HD (1080p) 120Hz screen with VRR support, which helps smooth out the gaming experience. Its main strength on paper is the 53Wh battery, which was slightly above average at its launch. It includes Hall Effect triggers and joysticks to prevent stick drift and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, making it easy to use external graphics cards (eGPU) to turn it into a desktop-class PC.
