Excellent Performace
This device has truly blown away my expextations. It was released earliee this year and is still the best all around handheld to date. I've had them all and tested them all and none come close to this device at low TDP and battery efficiency. When on the go you want a device that can play anything without draining the battery an this is the device to get. I have tested the XAX, the Legion Go 2 and in terms of performace this gets you the best performance overall bar none. The screen on the LeGo 2 is gorgeous but, in order to play demanding games you need to increase that TDP which drains the battery you wont have that issue on the Claw 8 AI. It will take a bit of time to set up and get ready but, this device is amazing. Great, handheld MSI I hope the next version sticks to the script!

Great device for ok pricing despite tarrifs
Honestly for the price and whats currently available. This device is a great choice. Legion go 2 is beautiful but its not worth the extra almost 500 bucks just to get slightly better performance. Feels solid havent had any issues yet other than some factory settings for deadzone but easily fixable through settings

MUCH better than the asus ROG ally Xbox
EXCELLENT. I had an ROG ally xbox, what a disappointment that was... wow. But this MSI claw is incredible. Here is why its better: 1. bigger better screen 2. hall effect joysticks 3. superior speakers 4. runs cooler and quieter 5. dual usb4 ports 6. more efficient cpu The intel lunar lake APU is more efficient than the AMD Z2E in the ally. it runs at higher FPS at equivalen battery drain. Meaning you can get much better battery on the lunar lake for the same performance as the ally. Skip the asus nonsense, get this. oh, and msi has incredible warranty
