![MSI Claw hands-on experience: Windows 11 portable gaming handheld device uses Core I7](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/78aae0c9b03a79340472f138c34439ec4082d38f/hub/2024/01/10/9e4350bd-586b-4410-959c-d410e4de9d76/p1020805.jpg?auto=webp&fit=cover&height=482&width=856)
Speaker 1: Hello everyone. I’m here with the latest gaming handheld device. This is the MSI Claw. If you’ve seen a steam deck or similar equipment, maybe it looks familiar. According to the specs, this thing is more powerful. This is what makes this place famous. New Meteor Lake processors from Intel to Core I 7 are used here. This thing has 1 TB of RAM for 7.99 for that configuration, so right in the price range of these devices. Now that I’ve spent some time playing with it, it feels pretty good in my hand. It’s a bit heavy at 1.5 (00:00:30) pounds, so it can get tiring over time. We’ll see. It uses a 7-inch, 120 Hz LCD display. It doesn’t have the same ole display as the steam deck ole or the new switch ole, but it still has a pretty bright display. It feels good in the hand. Speaker 1: I really appreciate, for example, the triggers on the back feel really good and the joystick is nice too. All in all, playing this thing is easy. Nice big screen. Again, the benefit here is the improved processor, you can output it to a TV, get the benefit of better graphics, (00:01:00) and of course it works with Windows 11. So this is a competitor. The Seam platform runs a similar set of PC-based games. Carry. One benefit of this large size is longer battery life. They say the SI clog has about two hours of battery life, so that’s pretty good. Again, for this level of processing. Here’s a quick look at one of the latest gaming handheld devices. This is MSI Claw based on Windows 11.
