High performance in a compact format
The new handhelds from MSI are specially designed for gamers who don’t want to compromise when they’re on the move. Both models – the Claw 8 AI+ and the Claw 7 AI+ – are powered by the latest generation of the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.
This powerful CPU, in combination with the Intel Arc GPU, ensures outstanding gaming performance and supports over 150 AAA titles. Thanks to its high energy efficiency, the processor enables long gaming times with minimal power consumption.
The displays offer razor-sharp images: The Claw 8 AI+ impresses with an 8-inch FHD+ screen in 16:10 format, while the Claw 7 AI+ offers a compact 7-inch FHD display
Both support a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which ensures a smooth display, especially for action-packed games. The touchscreen functionality and 100% sRGB color space coverage also make the devices attractive for multimedia applications.
Ergonomics and design for comfortable gaming
The housing of the handhelds is inspired by natural shapes, such as wind-sculpted desert rocks, and offers a combination of style and functionality. The ergonomic design ensures a pleasant feel, while redesigned controls such as Hall effect triggers and precise control sticks enable intuitive use. Weighing just 795 g (Claw 8 AI+) and 675 g (Claw 7 AI+), the devices are lightweight and portable.
Thanks to the Cooler Boost HyperFlow technology, the consoles remain cool even during intensive use. The cooling system combines two fans and two heat pipes to dissipate heat efficiently. This ensures the longevity of the hardware and enables a comfortable gaming experience.
Versatility through extensive connectivity
Both handhelds have two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which offer fast data transfer and a wide range of connection options. The devices can therefore also be used as mini PCs, making them particularly versatile. In addition, the MSI App Player supports the use of Android and Windows games, which expands the game library enormously.
Conclusion
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+ are more than just handheld consoles – they are true all-rounders for gaming and entertainment. With their powerful hardware, high-quality displays and extensive connectivity, they set new standards in the field of portable entertainment. The devices are now available from the MSI website.
