MSI is gearing up for future versions of its handheld gaming PC, the Claw, with System Product Managing Director Clifford Chun stating that the company is already anticipating model refreshes down the road, similar to its approach with gaming laptops. The first version of the Claw is set to be released in the second half of this year, with future iterations expected to align with advancements in processing and graphical power.
MSI has unveiled the Claw, a handheld gaming console powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra 'Meteor Lake' platform and running Windows 11. The device features a 7-inch touch-enabled display, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4 connector, and a 53Wh battery. Equipped with a cooling system, the Claw weighs 675 grams and boasts a typical set of controllers, macro buttons, and MSI's Center M interface for easy game access.

MSI unveiled the Claw, a handheld Windows gaming PC designed to rival the Steam Deck, featuring an Intel Core Ultra chip. Hands-on testing at CES 2024 revealed larger, more comfortable grips compared to the Asus ROG Ally, but the performance and battery life are not yet finalized.

Despite promising features like a 53Wh battery, Hall effect joysticks, and Wi-Fi 7, the Claw's performance currently falls short of the Steam Deck. AI-powered features and variable refresh rate are included, with MSI claiming up to two hours of battery life for demanding games.
