MSI Unveils the Claw A8 at Computex 2025

Get ready to level up your gaming! MSI has just announced its latest gaming handheld, the Claw A8, and it's brought the power of AMD into the mix. Debuting at Computex 2025, this handheld marvel is equipped with the powerful AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, ensuring gamers experience top-notch performance.

Impressive Specs: What’s Under the Hood?

The Claw A8 BZ2EM boasts a solid configuration with up to 24GB of lightning-fast DDR5 memory, just shy of the previous Intel-equipped Claw 8 AI Plus’s 32GB. It features an eye-catching 8-inch Full HD display with a super smooth 120Hz refresh rate, all backed by a spacious 1TB M.2 SSD. You can expect vivid graphics and seamless gameplay!

Color Your Game: New Aesthetics!

Aesthetics matter, and MSI has hit the mark with the Claw A8, offering it in stylish colors: sleek white and vibrant lime green. It's not just about performance; it’s about looking good while you game.

MSI’s Journey: From Rough Launch to Redemption

After a rocky start with the original Claw handheld in March 2024, MSI quickly bounced back with the successful Claw 8 AI Plus. The excitement surrounding the Claw A8 signals a bright future for MSI in the handheld gaming market.

A Tough Competition: The Legion Go S

Meanwhile, MSI isn’t the only player rewriting the rules. Lenovo has jumped into the ring with the Legion Go S, featuring one of AMD’s newer chips, albeit the less powerful Z2 Go version, which has been criticized for falling short against its predecessor, the Z1 Extreme.

More MSI Innovations: The Claw 8 AI Plus Polar Tempest Edition

But that’s not all! MSI has also introduced the Claw 8 AI Plus ‘Polar Tempest’ edition, boasting formidable specs like an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor and a massive 2TB NVMe SSD. This beauty comes with a striking “glittering” white finish.

What’s Next? Release Dates and Prices!

While MSI has been tight-lipped about official release dates and pricing, industry insiders speculate that the Claw A8 will likely fall within the same price range as the Intel-powered MSI Claw 8 Plus, which is currently priced at $999.99 on Best Buy.
