77.4% 微星Claw评测--搭载英特���酷睿Ultra处理器的游戏掌上电脑令人失望 | Notebookcheck
微星(MSI)发布了基于英特尔处理器的 "魔爪"(Claw)游戏掌上电脑,这在游戏掌上电脑领域算是姗姗来迟。在过去几周的几次更新后,据说它的性能得到了提升。我们对这款小巧的游戏机进行了全面测试。

综上所述,微星Claw掌上游戏机在工业级设计、旗舰硬件配置、Windows软件生态上高歌猛进。虽然像所有初代产品一样,它的UI界面、3A游戏驱动优化等方面还有进步的空间,但它的整体性价比,自有工厂、自有模具、自主研发,以及MSI品牌的质量认证,已经让它脱颖而出成为一个十分值得推荐的选项。

MSI Claw review: An underperforming and overpriced PC gaming handheld
Source: Hardware Zone English EN→zh-CN
Timing may be the MSI Claw’s biggest hurdle. If it had come out alongside the ROG Ally and Legion Go, it would have been an interesting Intel alternative. As it is, it’s hard to recommend the Claw at its current S$1,239 price tag. More so with ASUS set to release the Ally X next month, featuring a redesigned chassis, 24GB of RAM, an 80Wh battery, and all at a cheaper S$1,199. The Claw faces stiff competition and I’m surprised MSI has not reacted quicker to make its handheld be more competitive at retail – its launch price was already pricier than the ROG Ally (S$999) and the Legion Go (S$1,151) to begin with. There’s also a more affordable Claw version at S$949 with a slower Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and smaller 512GB SSD, but performance for this Claw can be expected to be worse.

70% MSI Claw Review: ways to go
Source: 91mobiles English EN→zh-CN
My review unit of the MSI Claw is available for Rs 89,990 in India. Do note that this is the introductory price which will later increase to Rs 99,990. The Claw can also be configured with a less powerful Core Ultra 5 135H processor, which costs Rs 78,990. It goes without saying that Claw has a hefty price tag, and I feel the company could’ve priced it more competitively. For instance, the ASUS ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme processor can be snagged for Rs 59,990 in India. What’s more, although the handheld has received timely updates from Intel and MSI to improve its performance, it could use some more optimisation. Many games still don’t run smoothly on the Claw, and the battery backup leaves something to be desired as well. Also, MSI recently announced the successor to the Claw, which will come with a bigger 80Wh battery and feature Intel’s more powerful Lunar Lake platform. Nevertheless, continued updates and a price cut should help the MSI Claw cement its position in India.

Here's your first look at the MSI Claw 8 AI+ from Computex 2024. It upgrades to an 8-inch FHD display and ditches the old Intel Core Ultra 5 in the OG model for Lunar Lake CPUs, plus MSI showed off a special Fallout Edition of the MSI Claw that's perfect for fans of the game.

70% MSI Claw Review: Intel's Debut Gaming Handheld has Big Potential
Source: Make Use Of English EN→zh-CN
While the MSI Claw holds promise with its Intel Arc, it faces challenges in delivering a seamless gaming experience. As Intel continues to refine its drivers and developers optimize their games for Intel XESS and the new hardware, the MSI Claw may yet realize its full potential. In general, MSI tends to be one of the best choices for performance per dollar. Even with some promising results, overall, the Claw isn't there yet. With so much desire to prove themselves in the gaming space, I imagine Intel is going to be putting a lot of effort into improving this generation of Arc. For now, expect the usual shortcomings as an early adopter playing a balancing act between your games, either running really well or facing a bunch of hiccups and underwhelming performance. We probably won't see a dramatic improvement in the next few weeks, but I have my fingers crossed that in 3 to 6 months we can revisit the MSI Claw and have a much happier ending to this story.

80% MSI Claw review: Shamefully declawed
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
The Claw is a nightmare. Even if you can forgive its software issues, design flaws, and uncomfortable levels of heat, it boasts the highest price point of the Windows gaming handheld devices ($799), yet delivers the worst performance by far. I couldn’t believe my eyes when running Elden Ring—the game delivered nearly half the framerate on a significantly lower graphical settings when compared to the cheaper Ally. That should be all you need to know. The Claw is a shocking misstep for MSI, and we’d recommend checking out the Asus ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go for worthwhile alternatives.

MSI Claw | Buy or Skip?!

Should you Buy or Skip the MSI Claw? There has been a lot of fanfare around the first Windows 11 handheld gaming console with an Intel Meteor Lake chip. However, the software has had a frosty reception. Let me give you the lowdown on whether I think the MSI Claw is worth your money!

63% Geek Review: MSI Claw A1M
Source: Geek Culture English EN→zh-CN
But there’s a catch. The MSI Claw is the first Intel-equipped handheld PC to date, which presents the perfect opportunity to put it through its paces in the real world. Interestingly enough, it plays better on battery than when it’s plugged in – an observation that proved consistent across different games. Check out the S$1,069 device in action above, as it goes up against the likes ofCyberpunk 2077, Helldivers 2, Armored Core VI, Hades, and Spec Ops: The Line.

MSI Claw hands-on impressions: The Claw has me hooked
Source: Laptop Mag English EN→zh-CN
MSI is on the verge of greatness with the Claw, as its implementation of Intel’s Meteor Lake processors, ergonomic design, and dedicated software have me shaking with excitement. I noticed slowdowns in MSI Center M, and I have gripes with its spongy bumpers and back buttons resting too close to the grip, but since this was a prototype model at CES 2024, it's hard to say what will change with the launch of the commercial model. If the company gets it just right, the MSI Claw could be the ultimate Windows handheld gaming console when it launches this year, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Between the ASUS ROG Ally, the Lenovo Legion Go and the Steam Deck, AMD has a virtual monopoly over the chips powering high-end gaming handhelds. But for the Claw, MSI is partnering up with Intel to bring a little more balance to the portable PC performance wars.

MSI Claw: The Next Big Gaming Handheld is Here (With Intel?!)
Source: Tom's Guide English
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.
