MSI’s first handheld gaming device, the MSI Claw, has made its way to the Philippines.

For a quick recap, the MSI Claw was introduced back in January featuring a form factor similar to other handheld consoles we’ve seen before.

It has an ergonomic build with a smooth 7-inch screen on the front that has a 120Hz refresh rate. It is sandwiched with a bunch of controllers Hall Effect Triggers and Joysticks.

The console comes with MSI Center M interface that’s on top of Windows 11 Home that’s been tailored to project well on a handheld gaming and provides access to particular controls, modifications, and more.

But unlike competing handhelds with AMD chips, this one comes with up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU. The chipset is attached to MSI’s Cooler Boost Hyperflow cooling with dual fans.

It also has a large 53WHr battery, which the company claims lasts 50% longer “compared to market average.”

RGB Lights can be found on the joysticks and the ABXY buttons, which sync with MSI’s Mystic Light software.

For connectivity, the Claw has the latest WiFi 7 for ultra-fast speeds, Thunderbolt 4, and Hi-Res audio.
