- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025processor_description: Ultra 7-258Vmemory_size: 32 GBHard Disk Size: 1 TBVerified PurchaseOnce I got past all the installs, I've had pretty much smooth sailing. Downloaded 4 fairly large games and had a great time trying out fallout london.
As with all pc handhelds, please maintain realistic expectations; this will run most things I've thrown at it, but you will have to drop resolution somewhat for decent frames.
Ergonomics are great, battery has been about as expected and the speakers sound phenomenal, genuinely. Touchscreen has caused no issues and thumb sticks are comfy. Screen is plenty bright and sharp as well.
Would recommend! Especially when it's in stock.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024processor_description: Ultra 7-155Hmemory_size: 16 GBHard Disk Size: 512 GBVerified PurchaseI'm gonna start with I have the MSI ge66 raider. I bought it 3 years ago and I love it. I never have a problem with it and it plays everything perfectly. With that being said I was very hopeful about getting the claw. Don't do it. Took a couple hours to set up, update, and get fallout 76 with some mods installed. I played it for an hour and everything worked perfect. Smooth great graphics everything was good. Went to take a nap and let it charge for an hour. When I woke up I went to turn it on and nothing. Just a couple of slight vibrations and nothing. Went online and looked up anything and everything I can do to make it work. I tried everything except opening it and nothing worked. I called MSI customer support next. I've dealt with some bad customer support in the day but MSI was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Literally no help whatsoever and just said to return it to Amazon. Don't waste your time, money, or aggravation. I'm just gonna order the steamdeck and call it a day.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025processor_description: Ultra 7-258Vmemory_size: 32 GBHard Disk Size: 1 TBVerified PurchaseThe MSI Claw 8 ai is an amazing device. It has a gorgeous screen, long battery life, near-silent fans, and excellent build quality which gives the device a premium, rock-solid feel. What really sets it apart is its performance—AAA titles run at much higher settings and frame rates than on my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. If you’re considering buying one do it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025processor_description: Ultra 5-135Hmemory_size: 16 GBHard Disk Size: 512 GBVerified PurchaseOnly gave it 4 starts cause the battery isn’t 54 hours more like 5 or 6 lmao but it’s ok it does everything from sims 2 to paladins and that’s all I need my favorite games I’ll keep you updated
A little update it’s been about four or five days and the console has not failed me, but maybe that’s because I put graphics and stuff to medium or low cause I don’t wanna put too much power on the console. I wanted to actually last me before I buy a new one lol but everything works perfect I’m glad I made this purchase. I’ve been playing Marvel rivals on this thing and it’s been beautiful
This thing is literally my new console idc to get an Xbox or ps5 this thing will run every game that comes out with them. I’ve been such a huge fan of marvel rivals and not a lot of first gen Xbox users can play it. Why I love being a pc gamer, I’ve noticed this thing doesn’t get too hot even after playing a couple of hours it kept its cool. I’m not taking this thing on the go really too expensive 😂

I Switched from an ally x and i couldnt be happier every game looks a lot better although some games run better on amd hardware. Cyberpunk 2077 runs perfect on the claw and makes the ally look weak.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024processor_description: Ultra 7-155Hmemory_size: 16 GBHard Disk Size: 512 GBVerified Purchase+155H is powerful for the package, if you need that CPU power
+Thunderbolt 4 connection allows for expansion with TB4 eGPU dock
+New Claw control center integrates well into Game Bar
+Display quality is excellent for a 7" IPS panel
+Most of the Unity android port slop I play run at 60fps on this device
-155H may be too powerful. The handheld struggles running below 30W. Windows 11 24H2 parks 2 P-cores and 4 E-cores automatically when power constrained which does help.
-Alchemist LPE iGPU can be poorly optimized for some games
-16GB memory limits multi-tasking ability
-SSD upgrade requires removal of battery and CPU heatsink
Overall this thing loves to run docked at 40W TDP being used as a miniPC. It is good value if that's your primary use case.
My unit started making a ticking noise from the fans after taking it on a flight but it seems to have resolved itself after a few hours. I will update if the problem re-occurs.
