MSI introduces its first portable gaming console called Claw to the market, which utilizes the latest Intel Meteor Lake processors.
Last year, the market for portable gaming consoles saw the release of many new models, but MSI Claw marks the Taiwanese company’s first entry into this segment. The device is equipped with Intel Meteor Lake processors and integrated Intel ARC Graphics.
During the presentation at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to experience MSI Claw. This sleek console has dimensions of 294 x 117 x 21.2 mm. Unlike competing models, MSI opted for Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and Core Ultra 7 155H processors from the Meteor Lake generation. Various titles, including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, were playable during the presentation. While the majority of gameplay was smooth, occasional minor freezes were observed, which will be addressed through software updates.
MSI Claw features an integrated Intel ARC Graphics that offers higher performance than the previous generation Iris Xe Graphics. The console has 16 GB of RAM and either 512 GB or 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD storage.
The MSI Claw screen has a 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The device also includes Thunderbolt 4 ports, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio port.
The most significant feature of MSI Claw is its performance and durability. Even during intensive usage, the console remains cool thanks to the Cooler Boost HyperFlow cooling system. With a large 53 Wh battery, it provides around 4.5 hours of continuous gaming without the need to recharge.
MSI Claw will be available for purchase in the first half of the year, with prices starting at $699, making it competitive compared to ASUS ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.
