Is the MSI Claw truly a contender in the handheld gaming PC market, or does it fall short of expectations? In this in-depth review, we delve into the highs and lows of MSI's latest offering to help you make an informed decision.
With a starting price of $699, the MSI Claw boasts an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H GPU and 512GB of storage, with options to upgrade for increased performance and storage capacity. However, the unboxing experience may leave some underwhelmed, as the package includes only the device itself, a charger, and a free copy of Skull and Bones.
Despite its minimalist packaging, the MSI Claw offers notable features such as a fingerprint reader, a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz IPS display with VRR, hall effect joysticks, and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. The build quality is impressive, with premium materials and ergonomic design elements enhancing the overall user experience.
However, the display falls short of expectations, lacking vibrancy and brightness compared to its competitors. Additionally, the software experience is plagued by bugs and inconsistencies, though updates have been released to address some issues.
On the gaming front, the MSI Claw delivers decent performance but struggles with heat management during extended play sessions. While the speakers and haptic feedback are commendable, the overall value proposition is questionable given the device's price point and competition.
In conclusion, while the MSI Claw shows promise, it ultimately falls short of expectations due to its high price, lackluster display, and software issues. Gamers may want to consider more affordable and polished alternatives until MSI addresses these shortcomings.

I hope you all enjoyed the video! Links for all handhelds are in the description if you want to support the channel 🫶
I like this review. It really points out the important points to look for when considering today's handhelds. I'm definitely keeping tabs to draft my 1st current gen handheld. Thank you!
What a solid review, I love seeing these videos from you because you keep your reviews real and honesty would prefer to hear things from you than someone with a few millions subscribers. Real and organic means more. Good video!
Thank you brotha 🫡
Good review but you gotta let the video breathe man. No pauses between sentences for 12 minutes straight, hard to listen to.
Feedback noted ✍️ thank you! 🙏
I predict if major updates don’t come that are game changers for the Claw by holiday time, it will be heavily discounted to $599 or cheaper even. I have no interest in a non AMD handheld
"Silent Mode has been started. WHAT?" LMAO
Only Intel could produce the most janky driver update process 💀
The display may be dim due to not having the intel graphic control pannel insalled if the cpu has a hpu core
Dude. You are probably right. I’m not very familiar with Intel processors, but that makes a TON of sense.
I too appreciate some extra thickness
Was waiting for this comment since I recorded the video
Excellent review, now take a breath.
Tbh each section was recorded separately my editor stitched them up and increased the speed slightly I think haha
don't want windows 11 on a handheld, don't want Intel GPU drivers, don't want the MSI claw

Why do people complain about windows so much. I feel like it's because they are lazy or maybe ignorant.
This guy was being nice about the claw..its way worse!!
I’m reviewing it while considering it can improve. Was the legion go flawless at launch? Was the ally flawless at launch? No.
They are now. But they deserved grace at launch that wasn’t granted. I told you all I think the AMD options are better for now. But I’m also keeping the door open to the possibility that this could improve because history shows us so far that it will.
But like I said. It maybe too late.
10 a.m. on the dot. 😛

It's still junk. It's still nowhere near the performance of AMD based competitors like the Asus ROG ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
Nah.. it gets close now.
With the bios update.
Has some things goin for it.
Legion Go I like though.
Absolutely agree! As I said at the end I only recommend it if you really want an Intel/MSI device lol otherwise the other competitors are better priced and have been on the market long enough for updates that improve performance and bugs. But I think the Claw, in time with updates, could be a worthy recommendation but that is still TBD
it's too weak, launch a gaming handheld that can barely game
I agree, but every other handheld also was a mess at launch. It depends on how well they can clean up their mess.
Why do these young people speed talk as if the video is sped up 5x?! Is he an AI??
I appreciate the constructive criticism!
@@KillerCam1020 Thank you for your graceful and polite reply! I am sorry for my rude tone.
@@CandyChannel1966 you’re good! I’m always open to hearing feedback so I can improve on my work :)
It's a pos!!! That uses way to much power!! And the battery charger sucks...laptop charger!! Wtf!! Skip this one...rog ally all day!!!!!
Have fun with Asus trash scam warranty then kid
The Ally was just as bad when it first came out🤷♂️ I had it day one. It’s been out over a year and had tons of software updates so of course it’s going to be better now.
Cry harder kid
