The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is now available for pre-order in the Philippines
The next-gen model of MSI's gaming handheld is available for pre-order now until the end of the month.
After announcing its Valentine’s Promo, MSI announced that the Claw 8 AI+ gaming handheld is now available for pre-order in the Philippines.
While the first-generation MSI Claw had a tough time standing out in the gaming handheld space, the new Claw 8 AI+ promises to deliver massive improvements that should make it a more worthy buy. For starters, the Claw 8 is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor (Series 2) which should deliver a big boost in performance, along with efficiency for better battery life.
The Claw 8 AI+ also has a new 8-inch FHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate, along with an improved design that features redesigned sticks, bumpers, D-pad, and triggers.
As for the AI in its name, the Claw 8 AI+ is the first Copilot+ PC-capable handheld in the market, meaning it should also be a good match for productivity.
