Claw A8

The MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM is a large horizontal Windows handheld with an 8-inch 1920x1200 IPS touchscreen offering 120Hz variable refresh rate and 500-nit rated brightness, positioned in the premium PC-gaming segment. Its Ryzen Z2 Extreme, Radeon 890M graphics, 24GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory, Hall-effect sticks and triggers, dual rear buttons, 80Wh battery, and dual-fan Cooler Boost HyperFlow system support modern PC gaming and high-end emulation. Strong performance, battery life, display visibility, connectivity, audio, and storage expansion are offset by uncomfortable angular grips for some users, a 762g weight, inconsistent MSI software, Windows touchscreen friction, and a high US price.
