  • Amazing machine that's worth the wait
processor_description: Ultra 7-258V memory_size: 32 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB
Once 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. ... show more

  • Extremely pleased with my MSI Claw 8 ai
processor_description: Ultra 7-258V memory_size: 32 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB
The 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! ... show more

  • DON'T BUY THIS!!!!
processor_description: Ultra 7-155H memory_size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 512 GB
I'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. ... show more

  • Great performance, almost excellent
processor_description: Ultra 7-155H memory_size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 512 GB
In terms of performance, it's great with Intel Ultra 7. Thunderbolt port allows easy expansion, fast data transfer. Overall if you use it as it came from factory, it's quite good. Only complaint is the buttons on the left and right feel a little stiff. Otherwise it works well. For ordinary folks, who might need more space, buy the 1TB model or be happy with the 512gb version. For geeks or those thinking of buying it and THEN upgrading storage, DIYers - it takes a bit of effort and time to replace SSD. You have to remove a bunch of screws, heat-sink and then replace the 2230 sized SSD. Wait, that's not all. IF you're doing a clean installation of Windows, you have to disable the super annoying Intel VMD/RST controller. You will need to use some USB-C hub, connect other USB mouse + keyboard and press this combo: Entering BIOS (press F2 key while booting), go to "Advanced " tab, enter the secret menu by pressing CTRL (right) + Shift (right) + Alt (left) + F2. Then go to System Agent Configuration > VMD > Configuration VMD and disable the controller. Now if you go back to Windows installation, it will recognize the new SSD. If you choose to CLONE the original drive that came with it, then you don't have to worry about this bios stuffs. Just use any tool to clone the original. A bit disappointed why MSI made SSD upgrade a little difficult but again, unlike Apple, yes we can! ... show more

  • Perfect performance for handheld.

If you can grab it at msrp or below, it's worth it. Love intel's low latency decoding, makes game streaming amazing on this device.

  • Good for the price if you find the A1M on sale
processor_description: Ultra 7-155H memory_size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 512 GB
+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. ... show more

  • If you want this product, you better think twice.
processor_description: Ultra 5-135H memory_size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 512 GB
The media could not be loaded. Terrible experience with the product and even worse with the seller, the product stopped working after two weeks and when I wanted to return it they said they charge up to 50% for a restocking fee, which means that in reality you don't get your money back for a product that doesn't work. ... show more
