The MSI 'Claw' Portable Gaming PC is Available to Pre-Order Now
Launching in the UK on March 20.
After being revealed at CES 2024 earlier this year, the MSI Claw is available to pre-order now in the UK, with a launch date slated for March 20. While MSI is no stranger to the PC gaming market, the Claw marks the company’s first venture into the busy handheld gaming sector and sees it going up against competing portables from the likes of Steam, Asus and Lenovo.
MSI’s Claw, however, lays claim to being the world’s first gaming handheld powered by the Intel Core Ultra processor, the chipmaker’s latest flagship CPU and the brand is banking on the performance power gained from this being one of the things that separates it from the rest. The Claw runs on Windows 11 Home and features an Intel® Arc Graphics card with a 7-inch, 1080p, 120Hz touchscreen display. It has two 2-watt speakers as well as a large 53Whr battery, Thunderbolt 4 and DP ports, a microSD slot, and features a fingerprint scanner built in to the power button for added security.
In total, MSI is offering three models of the Claw globally, with two options of the Intel Core Ultra chip and two sizes of storage to choose from. Fans in the UK, however, have a choice of two: a Core Ultra 5 / 512GB model priced at £699 and a Core Ultra 7 / 1TB priced at £799. Both models are available for pre-order now exclusively via Curry’s.
