MSI Claw 7 AI+

The MSI Claw 7 AI+ is an updated version of the MSI Claw portable console, with a more powerful and modern setup on the Intel Lunar Lake platform, which stands out due to its high energy efficiency and the use of more powerful discrete GPUs from the Arc series. It is a direct competitor to other rising stars in the portable console market like the Valve Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go.

At its core, the MSI Claw 7 AI+ sports an Intel processor with integrated Intel Arc graphics, supporting modern APIs and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Together with a substantial 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a spacious 1024 GB SSD, the console ensures fast game launches and instant level loading. Power is supplied by a 53 Wh battery, allowing the Claw 7 AI+ to maintain moderate size and weight.

Display output is handled by a classic IPS screen with a 7-inch diagonal, 1920x1080 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and substantial brightness, making it equally suitable for gaming on the go or lounging on the couch. Cooling is managed by the proprietary Cooler Boost HyperFlow system with dual fans and heat pipes, which keeps temperatures stable even during extended gaming sessions.

Using the proprietary MSI Center M enhancement facilitates easy performance tuning and power management. The Windows 11 interface is adapted to the small touchscreen, and the console supports game installation from all popular stores, including Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. When connected to a monitor or TV via USB4, the console transforms into a full-fledged mini-PC, suitable for gaming and multimedia. With an outstanding balance of portability, strength, and impressive hardware, the MSI Claw 7 AI+ becomes a go-to choice for gamers. Its energy efficiency, powerful integrated graphics, and high refresh rate screen significantly elevate the handheld gaming experience. The capability to double as a mini-PC via USB4 connection adds valuable versatility, enhancing its appeal to tech-savvy consumers.
