84.7% MSI Claw 8 AI+ recension - Den bästa spelhandhållaren tack vare Intel Lunar Lake? | Notebookcheck
MSI:s nya Claw 8 AI+ är en massiv förbättring av tillverkarens första spelhanddator. Till detta kommer den effektivare Lunar Lake-processorn från Intel, en större 8-tumsskärm med 120 Hz uppdateringsfrekvens och VRR, samt ett stort 80-Wh-batteri.
MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM Review
Källa: Tech PowerUP Engelska EN→SV
Now, while we can recommend the MSI Claw 8 to anyone looking for a premium Windows handheld, it may not be suitable for everyone. For instance, if you want to benefit from extra (controller or keyboard) inputs, even in Gamepad control mode, the MSI Claw 8 falls short here. It feels more like a console than a proper PC handheld, so we hope MSI will add the ability to remap controls in Desktop mode and assign keyboard and mouse buttons as secondary functions in Gamepad mode in future updates. If you demand reliable software that doesn't bug out, while offering a ton of handy features, you should take a look at the ASUS ROG Ally, ASUS ROG Ally X, Steam Deck LCD, or Steam Deck OLED instead.

80% This $1000 gaming handheld might just be worth its insane pricetag
Källa: Pocket Lint Engelska EN→SV
At an MSRP of $1000, the MSI Claw 8 AI+ is asking gamers for a big investment up front, and if you already have a handheld, a laptop, even a Switch 2 that you use regularly, that pricetag may simply make this device, as impressive as it is from a technical standpoint, not worth the money. However, if you are looking for a new primary gaming device (or just have money to burn I guess) this is almost certainly the best handheld currently available. Despite some problems I had with ergonomics, the onboard software, and the battery life, the MSI Claw 8 AI+ still is one premium purchase you'll probably be glad you made.

MSI Claw A8 First Look | Beats ROG Ally 2 to the Punch!
Källa: Tom's Guide Engelska
We got the first MSI Claw not long ago… and yet here we are again. MSI’s back—fast—with what might be their most important update yet. And yep, it’s that one. The one people kept whispering about: the Ryzen-powered Claw. The Claw A8 BZ2EM. It’s real, it’s AMD, and it actually beat the ASUS ROG Ally 2 to the punch.

The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is available for preorder right now. It has actually already launched, but according to a company representative, preorder demand was so high that the developer paused it. At $999, this handheld is more expensive than even the OLED Steam Deck, but given its top-notch performance, battery life, and eight-inch display, the MSI Claw 8 makes itself worth the price.

MSI Claw 8 AI+ Review: Plush And Premium Handheld Gaming
Källa: Hot Hardware Engelska EN→SV
For our money, we think this sits in the top tier of gaming handhelds on the market currently, along with devices like the Ayaneo Kun, the ROG Ally X, and the Lenovo Legion Go. This year we'll see a fresh fleet of devices sporting the latest-generation AMD chips, though, and Qualcomm is joining the fray too with its Snapdragon G SoCs. We might even see new handhelds based on Intel's Panther Lake. It will be fascinating to watch what the handheld market looks like around Christmas 2025. For now, if you want a true PC gaming experience on the go, you won't be disappointed with the MSI Claw 8 AI+.

80% This handheld Switch 2 alternative blew me away – MSI's Claw 8 AI+ is ace
Källa: T3 Engelska EN→SV
The market for PC gaming handhelds is getting frighteningly competitive – but MSI is back with a radically improved Claw that only heightens that sense. This is a perfect new option for those seeking out a handheld that brings the latest and greatest in integrated graphical tech, and who don't mind paying a premium for that access. It's possible that, in a year's time, there will be updated versions of competitors to muddy the waters, but right now the Claw 8 AI+ stands alone and is the better for it. If you've got the cash and want a great gaming handheld with the capacity to play almost any game you throw at it in some capacity, you'll find it admirably capable.

Källa: Tom's Guide Engelska EN→SV
So if you need a new gaming handheld, should you get the MSI Claw 8AI+? This is currently my favorite pick, but its not for everyone. If you’re willing to sacrifice performance, the Steam Deck OLED 1TB $649 model is a great way to play less demanding games without Windows 11 woes while the original ASUS ROG Ally offers exceptional value. The Claw 8AI+ outperforms competing handhelds and has re-sparked my love for playing games on the go, but its asking price is a tough pill to swallow.

70% MSI Claw 8 AI+ Review
Källa: PC Mag Engelska EN→SV
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ improves on the original with its hardware and software while still being imperfect. The new body color, the larger screen, and the increased power are all welcome. The system feels well made, it can generally run games smoothly enough (as long as you lower some settings), and it has a respectable battery life. If this particular device speaks to you, it will do the job. On the other hand, the new ergonomics leave room for improvement; the performance needs a boost; and the price has officially entered the laptop zone. We still prefer the Editors'-Choice-award-holding Asus ROG Ally X and Steam Deck among handhelds, and if you're not hell-bent on a handheld, your dollar will still go further with a gaming laptop.

90% MSI Claw 8 AI+ review: an almost-perfect gaming handheld
Källa: The Shortcut Engelska EN→SV
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is one of the most fun gaming handhelds I’ve ever played with. It’s a gorgeous device with an even prettier large 8-inch screen. The Intel Lunar Lake processor meanwhile delivers excellent FHD 60fps performance for most games and more than a playable experience with graphically challenging titles. It’s also a long-lasting device with up to three hours of AAA gaming, and AI helps it maintain power efficiency better than any other handheld. That said, it’s also the most expensive gaming handheld I’ve used at $899 – $100 more than its closest rival, the Asus ROG Ally X. The MSI Claw 8 Ai+’s price really makes consider whether this handheld is better than a laptop that would offer better cooling and longer battery life.

Steam Deck Killer! | MSI Claw 8 AI+ Review
Källa: Tech Spurt Engelska
Like the ROG Ally X, you get some decent battery life for a portable gamer. Over two hours of AAA action is standard, even when playing at 1200p resolution with the graphics scaled up. Performance also stays strong thanks to the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus' Lunar Lake smarts and that dual fan cooling. It's not an OLED screen but that panel is bright and boasts decent contrast for an IPS. Those stereo speakers are beefy too. And the MSI Claw 8 AI+ also offers an easily replaceable SSD (not tested), and pull-out controls for customising your game. But is it as good as the ASUS ROG Ally X and Steam Deck? If it wasn't for the sky high price, I'd say snap it up. However, you may wish to wait for the MSI Claw 8 AI+ to be on sale first.

Källa: Techtesters Engelska EN→SV
Waar we vorig jaar geheel onverwacht met een Claw aan de slag gingen, zonder verwachtingen, kijken we nu naar een tweede generatie met hogere verwachtingen. Vooralsnog lijkt MSI echter goede stappen te zetten: nieuwe chip, een generatie aan driver updates, beter scherm, grotere accu, plus nog wat hardware upgrades. Het resultaat is een apparaat dat in een eerste hands-on een duidelijk meer volwassen indruk maakt. Als het mee zit kunnen we later deze maand nog aan de slag gaan met MSI’s nieuwste, en misschien nog belangrijker: Intel’s nieuwste drivers.

90% MSI Claw 8 AI+ review: Performance and build quality improvements are claws for success
Källa: Laptop Mag Engelska EN→SV
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is an incredible improvement over the original Claw A1M. The rebuilt Claw has slick gaming performance, impressive battery life, a stunning display, improved thermals, great ergonomics, improved triggers, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and 32GB of system memory to support it all. Plus, it’s far more stable than the original Claw, which suffered from numerous optimization issues with its Intel Meteor Lake processor. However, the Claw 8 AI+ is the most expensive of the mainstream handheld gaming PCs, costing $899 for the 8-inch model, and $799 for the smaller Claw 7 AI+ A2VM. However, the recently revamped Asus ROG Ally X is $799 for the 1TB model, which makes the Claw pricing seem reasonable since the Ally is a 7-inch handheld.

MSI Claw 8 AI+ hands-on: Bigger and better, but is it enough?
Källa: Tom's Guide Engelska EN→SV
MSI has made some excellent upgrades with the Claw 8 AI+, but the real question is whether Intel and MSI finally have what it takes to go head-to-head with AMD-powered competitors like the ROG Ally X or the rumored Legion Go S. Aside from seeing how well its performance holds up, its higher starting price and less traditional color make the MSI Claw 8 AI+ an interesting gaming handheld worth putting on your radar.

The MSI Claw 8 AI+ powered by Intel Lunar Lake is shaping up to be the PC gaming handheld to beat next year, thanks to its improved design, bigger screen, and a massive 80WHr battery which, when paired with the increased energy efficiency of the Lunar Lake SoC, could see a doubling of battery life over the previous Claw, along with up to 50% better gaming performance — assuming MSI prices it properly.

Intel Arc 140V: Ett ganska snabbt integrerat grafikkort som vissa Intel Lunar Lake-processorer enligt uppgift använder. 140V har 8 Xe²-arkitekturkärnor som körs i upp till 2 050 MHz och 8 strålspårningsenheter; det är DirectX 12 Ultimate-aktiverat och det stöder också alla moderna videocodecs. Om de senaste läckorna av benchmarkresultat är någon indikation, kommer dess spelprestanda att vara något bättre än GeForce MX570.

Det här är mindre avancerade grafikkort för användare som ändå vill kunna spela spel. Nya spel bör vara spelbara, men ofta bara med låga detaljinställningar och låg upplösning. Eftersom moderna grafikkort i den här klassen har låg strömförbrukning kan även batteritiden vara bra.

» Mer information finns i vår jämförelse av mobila grafikkort och motsvarande benchmarklista.


Core Ultra 7 258V: En processor i det övre mellansegmentet i Lunar Lake-familjen. Det här är en SoC för användning i bärbara datorer och surfplattor av det smalare slaget som har 4 nya E-kärnor och 4 nya P-kärnor som körs i upp till 4,8 GHz, tillsammans med den lovande nya Arc 140V iGPU och 32 GB LPDDR5x-8533 RAM-minne i paketet. En ny 47 TOPS neuralmotor, TB 4 och PCIe 5 SSD-stöd ingår också.» Mer information finns i vår jämförelse av mobila processorer


8.00": Den här skärmstorleken är i gränslandet mellan smartphones och surfplattor. De flesta surfplattor är större, men vissa smartphones har så här stor skärm.

Större skärmar möjliggör högre upplösning så att detaljer som bokstäver blir större och jämnare. Å andra sidan är strömförbrukningen lägre med mindre skärmar och enheterna är överlag mindre, lättare och billigare. » För att ta reda på mer om skärmupplösning, läs vår DPI-lista.


0.793 kg: Den här viktklassen är vanligast för stora surfplattor och hybrider.


82.56%: Det här är ett ungefärligt genomsnittsbetyg, eftersom ungefär hälften av de bärbara datorerna har fått högre betyg och den andra hälften lägre.
