The MSI Claw 8 AI Plus is a handheld gaming PC that has recently been announced at Computex 2024. This new iteration of the Claw series aims to address some of the limitations of its predecessor. Notably, it features Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake CPUs, marking a significant upgrade in processing power compared to the original model. The Lunar Lake chip is part of Intel’s Ultra lineup and is expected to power over 80 new AI laptops this year. With this advanced silicon, the Claw 8 AI Plus should be better equipped to handle gaming performance, offering smoother gameplay experiences. Additionally, the device boasts an 8-inch Full HD display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and a touch screen. The larger display size and improved battery life make it a compelling option for gamers seeking a portable gaming solution.
In addition to the standard Claw 8 AI Plus, MSI has partnered with Bethesda to create a limited edition Fallout-themed variant called the Claw x Fallout. Inspired by the Fallout series’ iconic Vaults, Pip-Boys, and post-nuclear apocalypse atmosphere, this special edition offers fans an immersive experience. While the Fallout Claw retains the original 7-inch display, it does not receive the impressive Lunar Lake chip upgrade. Nevertheless, its unique design and tie-in with the popular game franchise make it an intriguing choice for collectors and fans alike.
