MSI Claw 8 AI+

MSI Claw 8 AI+ is the flagship model of the line, designed for users who prioritize maximum performance and comfort in a portable format. The console features an 8-inch IPS display (1920x1200) with a 120Hz refresh rate, 500-nit brightness, and VRR support. The screen images appear sharp and smooth, with high contrast even in dynamic scenes. The device is based on the updated Intel Lunar Lake platform with a new processor and Intel Arc 140V graphics, capable of running Cyberpunk 2077, Doom: The Dark Ages, Expedition 33, and other demanding Windows-based games in 1080p resolution with medium graphics settings and a playable frame rate.

However, it's important not to have excessively high expectations, as it uses integrated graphics, requiring an upscaler and frame generation in many games. Along with the processor upgrade, MSI significantly increased the RAM from 16GB to 32GB and raised the maximum built-in storage capacity to 1024GB. If space runs out, users can still expand the available capacity with a memory card.

The Windows 11 operating system with an adapted MSI Center M interface simplifies navigation and allows for instant switching between gaming and desktop modes. All key gaming services like Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store are supported, and when connected to a monitor, the Claw 8 AI+ turns into a full-fledged PC, maintaining the mobility and versatility of a portable console.

The 80Wh battery ensures long-lasting autonomy, and the Cooler Boost HyperFlow cooling system keeps stable temperatures and reduces noise levels — the console remains cool and quiet even under maximum load. The MSI Claw 8 AI+ stands out with its sharp 8-inch display, enhanced RAM capacity, versatile storage options, and the ability to transition smoothly between gaming and PC modes, offering unparalleled performance and portability for demanding gamers.
