- MSI refreshed its Windows handheld lineup with the Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+.
- These are the first devices to feature the energy-efficient Lunar Lake CPU.
- They are available now and expected to ship before the end of the year.
The handheld market is still heating up, and now there are two more devices to choose from. Following up on the MSI Claw we first tested at CES 2024, the Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+ have been officially announced in a blog post on the MSI website.
These are the first handhelds to feature Intel’s Lunar Lake CPUs. The Core Ultra 7 258V with Arc 140V graphics is designed to offer better energy efficiency, with MSI noting that the 17W power draw offers “113% higher peak FPS and an average 20% higher FPS under identical power conditions” when compared to unnamed competitors, presumably the ASUS ROG Ally and Steam Deck.
