"I wrote that no one should buy MSI and Intel's original handheld gaming PC. I literally called it an embarrassment, and the company blacklisted me after that. MSI stopped pitching me news, and stopped answering my emails, even after the company began to write off its dud of a handheld. So you can imagine my surprise to find: MSI and Intel have gone from worst to nearly first."
"In many games, it's twice as fast as the original Claw. And with new drivers that bump its performance up to 30 percent higher since launch - I tested - the newer $1,000 MSI Claw 8 AI Plus might just be the best Windows handheld you can buy. The Claw 8 has become a fixture in my life as I carve and puzzle through the hauntingly beautiful painted worlds of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince, respectively."
MSI and Intel's original handheld performed poorly and prompted a harsh critic response, leading to a blacklist. The redesigned MSI Claw 8 AI Plus delivers major improvements, running many games roughly twice as fast as the original. Recent driver updates boost performance up to about 30 percent since launch. The unit costs around $1,000 and excels at handheld gaming, proving comfortable for extended play through titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince. Windows 11 remains cluttered with upsells, AI features, and controller navigation and sleep-resume annoyances, but the Claw 8 still stands out.
