In this MSI Claw handheld review, we put its AI-powered Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Windows 11 Home to the test. At just 0.6 pounds and 6.45 inches tall, it's a game-changer for commuters, gamers, and productivity enthusiasts alike. The 8-inch FHD 120Hz display is crisp and vibrant, perfect for streaming and gaming. But how does its battery life hold up, and is the MSRP really worth it? Dive in and find out. With its compact design and powerful performance, this handheld is more than just eye-catching - it's an actual portable powerhouse.
