About this deal
Frist off if you want a handheld PC look at a ROG Ally (£599 Extreme 512GB), Legion GO (£649.99) or Steam Deck (£479.99 512GB) before this.
However if you don't like them or just hate AMD for some reason we have the MSI Claw.
Key Points:
Windows Based
Intel CPU
Intel ARC GPU (which either work fine, work badly or not at all) with potential for improvement?
No Carry Case
Bigger than average Charger
Same Screen as Ally?
Cheaper than the lower spec Claw Ulta 5 512GB (£649.00)
Misses the mark for me, I would go Ally even with the SD problem but someone may be interested in this
Needs to knock at least another £100 off for me, or a massive bios/firewire/driver update that improves performance and battery life.

Product Information
Product code: 741670
The MSI Claw will rip AAA titles to shreds, right in the palm of your hand. The Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor inside is packed with 16 cores and AI accelerations – the perfect combo of power and efficiency. And thanks to Intel® Arc™ Graphics, it can pump out plenty of FPS. The 7" Full HD touchscreen will make sure the games are full of detail and colour. And action scenes will be gloriously smooth thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate. It's kitted out with hall effect joysticks and triggers that are more responsive and durable than typical analogue controls. That means you can target your enemies with terrifying precision. And thanks to the ergonomic design, your hands won't get tired as you claw your way to victory.
Good to know
- The Cooler Boost HyperFlow's got plenty of airflow to keep the powerful components in check
- Intel® XeSS uses AI-enhanced upscaling to make supported games look better and run faster
- It's fuelled by a massive 53 Whr battery that won't force you to cut your match short
- There's all the controls you're used to - D-Pad, bumpers, macros, ABXY and more
- Hook it up to the big screen or a super-fast SSD – the Thunderbolt 4 port can handle it all
- There are dual 2 W speakers with Hi-Res Audio certification, so you don't even need a headset
- With support for WiFi 7 you'll have the connectivity you need to dominate online games
- Customise the joysticks and ABXY buttons or sync them with your game using Mystic Light RGB
- All your settings, macros and RGB profiles are easy to control in the MSI Center M
- The fingerprint scanner in the power button will prevent noobs from ruining your progress
- There's 1 TB of built-in storage, but you can also pop in a microSD Card with your favourite games
- Done with gaming? Switch to desktop mode and you've got a handheld Windows PC
