Claw A8

The MSI Claw A8 is a high-performance Windows handheld built around AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, Radeon 890M graphics, and an 8-inch 120Hz VRR touchscreen. Its 80Wh battery, Hall-effect sticks and triggers, dual USB4 ports, M.2 2280 storage, dual-fan cooling, and 24GB of fast LPDDR5X memory give it an excellent hardware foundation for demanding PC gaming and emulation. Strong performance, controls, battery capacity, and connectivity are offset by its 765-gram weight, IPS rather than OLED display, Windows handheld complexity, and steep $1,299 US price.
