Just three months after a lukewarm reception for its first gaming handheld, MSI unveils the Claw 8 AI Plus. This upgraded model addresses key criticisms by incorporating Intel's new Lunar Lake CPU, promising significant performance gains. The screen size increases to eight inches while maintaining a smooth 120Hz refresh rate with variable rate refresh.

Battery life receives a major boost as well, matching the Asus ROG Ally X with an 80Wh battery. Connectivity improves with a second USB-C port featuring Thunderbolt 4 and a more convenient wall charger replaces the bulky two-cord setup of the original Claw. MSI also highlights improved tactile feedback on the shoulder buttons.
