As previously teased, MSI officially unveiled its own PC gaming handheld console. Dubbed as the MSI Claw A1M (like aim, haha, geddit?), it's the first device powered by an Intel Core Ultra processor and Intel XeSS technology.
To be more specific, the processor is up to Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 155H and uses a 53Whr battery pack. For comparison, the ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go feature a 40Whr and 49.2Whr battery, respectively. So on paper, it should last quite long albeit in practical usage, it remains to be seen. To keep the handheld console cool, it has a Cooler Boost HyperFlow system and lots of vents on the top and its back cover.
From a design standpoint, it looks very similar to the aforementioned handheld console competitors as expected. The Claw A1M uses a 7-inch 120Hz display and of course, some RGB lighting around the analogue sticks as well as the ABXPY buttons. Accompanying the buttons are a pair of 2W speakers with HiRes audio.
Like the others, the MSI Claw A1M runs on Windows 11 Home and its own MSI Center to quick-launch games. It's unknown if MSI Malaysia plans to import this for the local market but we sure hope so. Until then, stay tuned for the official news at TechNave.com.
