Claw 8 AI+ A2VM 8″ 120Hz FHD 1200P Gaming Handheld- Intel Core Ultra 7-258V – Intel Arc – 32GB – 1TB SSD Console

Good but not great - It’s a very good handheld. Good performance for most games- it’s just not so great for holding for long periods. My hands fatigue

Better than the Ally X and Legion Go S - I replaced my Steam Deck OLED, Legion Go, and ROG Ally X with the new Claw 8 AI+, and I don't regret it at all. Performance-wise, this is easily the strongest of the bunch. Since it runs strictly on Windows, it isn't quite as seamless as a Steam Deck, but the upside is total freedom. If you enjoy tweaking settings and modding your games, this thing rewards you heavily. For games without native upscaling support, throwing OptiScaler on here lets you utilize Intel’s XeSS and frame generation, which yields massive framerate jumps while keeping the device running cool and quiet on battery. Quick advice for anyone picking this up: skip the basic Windows Update drivers and grab the official Game Ready Arc drivers directly from Intel's site. Also, take twenty minutes to debloat Windows 11 and adjust your VRAM allocation in the bios if needed. It's a premium device that requires a little tech-savviness to shine, but the performance ceiling is higher than anything else on the market right now.

Amazing Product, Fast delivery - This device is exactly what I was looking for. Something just as big as a Nintendo switch 2, has the capabilities of a steam deck, but also the ability to play Xbox Gamepass and Epic games launcher. This also has the ability to be used to play World of Warcraft if you download an add-on on curse forge. Set up was really easy, just a standard check for updates and update drivers just like a computer. The only real complaint that I have about this product is that it doesn’t have a very good battery life if you try to max everything out. Everything set to medium, including brightness and volume gives me about four hours of playtime. This is perfect for lounging in the living room and watching TV while being able to play games or even lay in bed on your stomach to play. If you get a protective case, you can get it with a kickstand, which allows you to set it up as a mini TV if you want to use it as a mini computer you can with Bluetooth supported keyboard and mouse.

great machine - I was never a handheld gamer but i figured i would give this a shot. I have not put this down since i got it. I love gaming on the MSI Claw. I find it very nice to be able to pick it up and start playing my game. I was surprised at how well this little machine handles the gaming, but the intel chip and arc handle everything very well.

True Gaming - I really enjoy playing the MSI claw it’s the best handheld console hands down

Didnt even get a chance to try out the claw 8 ai - I bought the claw online. It was delivered, but I noticed “ inspected by Best Buy” tape on the delivery box, which made me think I was sent an open box claw . I contacted Best Buy, and yes, they said that “inspected by Best Buy” tape is only used on open box purchases. He asked if I wanted a replacement one sent to me. I said yes because I purchased a new device, not a used one. So he set everything up and told me to return the used one they sent. I went to the local Best Buy and returned it. At this point, my replacement order said it was being packed up and going to be shipped out. Well, the next day, out of nowhere, I got an email saying my order was canceled. I got in touch with Best Buy, and they said that someone called and canceled my order… I said by whom. I never called and canceled. He told me he was going to send my case to someone higher than him. He said I would hear from someone within 24 hrs. Well, till this day, nobody has contacted me on why my order was canceled.

Awesome handheld - Fantastic handheld, best bang for your buck. Must buy

It’s not what I was looking for - Honestly it got really hot was very awkward feeling and took forever to reset it I would recommend looking at something else and also the games were all just not running good FPS like yes the refresh rate is high relatively speaking but it has integrated graphics so it just runs really poor and also another thing is that when I went in to the unlock screen I had to manually type everything into it using my fingers and it was just a Hassle trying to break my hands just to unlock it and use it the d-pad did not work when I was tryna unlock it

msi claw 8 aI+ - The left stick feels loose like a stick drift but it's ok

The Claw is nice! - I looked up so many reviews on different handhelds and I really didn't like the way the Xbox Rog ally X looked so I went with the Claw and it was the best decision! Not only are the specs better but it also looks great and it plays pretty much everything I like perfectly fine. This is great device and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good handheld in today's market.

Best out of all handhelds - Love it love it love it love it live it love it love it love it love it

Stop debating, and buy this one! - Easily one of the best handheld gaming devices out on the market right now. Almost a year old and it’s still one of the top dogs.

This looks used lol - Was sent a device without a MSI security seal. When I opened the box, the handheld looked used, the charger or handheld didn't come in a bag. I don't know what's going on with MSI or Bestbuy, but this was not cool. I paid for a new device, not used or refurbished. If that's the case, drop the price.

Better then ally x - Solar solid and plays games like a beast. Battery life is kind of short but to be expected amen you run games in high def.

like butter! No frame drops at all! - Top tier handheld gaming device. Buy this now you won’t regret it.

Disappointed - Great on paper not in practice. At end of day just too many hoops to jump through to be enjoyable.

Best Handheld ever - This is by far the best handheld I have ever used, I had a steam deck and Asus ROG Ally x and my MSI Claw out performs and outlast with its huge battery, I play Hunt Showdown which is a heavy game with beautiful graphics and the Claw runs its perfectly along with COD, Battlefield and Escape from Tarcov

Its the best windows handheld on the market - Ive owned all pc handhelds available in the US. The MSI had a ricky start but aftwr updates it is now the clear winner. Once its set up, updated and tweaked, it has the best performance (yes really,) best battery life and costs less than its main competion. No it isnt oled but once you download the tooth and claw widget (ypull learn while researching setup) it is the best looking ips display and myself and my GF can barely tell the difference between it and an oled. Do yourself a favor and grab this. Its already being realized as one of if not the best handhelds available by reviewers now after its updates that itll likely start to sell out. Mark my words.

MSI Claw 8ai+ - Outstanding system. Definitely worth the money, perfect gaming handheld of the century.

Best handheld on the market - Atter using the original Legion Go that was too slow and heavy, and the new ROG xbox ally x, i can confirm this is the best choice for a handheld at the moment! Perfect amount of screen to weight ratio and the performance has been amazing!
