The MSI Claw (starting at $699) could be the next great gaming handheld. While its 7-inch LCD display and overall design are reminiscent of the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck, MSI’s machine is the first such handheld to sport a new Intel Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” chip. According to the company, Intel’s processor gives the Claw better performance and battery life than handhelds featuring an AMD chip. I got to try the MSI Claw during CES 2024 and was impressed by its striking appearance and how light it felt to hold. I also like how cool it remained even when the CPU ran at near 100%. The sharp 1080p and smooth 120Hz display are also a highlight. It’s too early to tell if the MSI Claw can topple the Steam Deck, but I think it should find a spot on our best handheld gaming console list. Here are my initial thoughts on the MSI Claw. ---- Our favourite deals: MacBooks on sale: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/74D23112-3CEC-4E6C-8E60-6606396CD5CA - https://amzn.to/47u35hK Smarts TVs up to 50% off: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/top-deals/tv-deals/pcmcat1563300475775.c?id=pcmcat1563300475775 - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/top-deals/tv-deals/pcmcat1563300475775.c?id=pcmcat1563300475775 Verizon 5G phones free w/ trade-in: https://www.verizon.com/deals/ - https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-6361382-14048362?sid=vidchan&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.verizon.com%2Fdeals%2F Up to 60% off Alexa devices: https://www.amazon.com/b/?node=11851273011 - https://amzn.to/48IA3Ml $400 off Dell computers: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/deals/pc-laptop-deals - https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-6361382-12839518?sid=vidchan&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dell.com%2Fen-us%2Fshop%2Fdeals%2Fpc-laptop-deals Up to 30% off small appliances: https://www.walmart.com/shop/deals/all-home - https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/565706/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fshop%2Fdeals%2Fall-home Videos • Reviews • Tech Insight SUBSCRIBE→ http://bit.ly/toms_YTSub Twitter→ http://bit.ly/Toms_Twitter Facebook→ http://bit.ly/Toms_Facebook Instagram→ http://bit.ly/Toms_Instagram TikTok→ https://bit.ly/3anpZzo #gaming #handheld #msiclaw
