MSI's nye Claw-håndholdte går head to head med Lenovo og Asus til $700

Lenovo og Asus hold øje med ryggen, da MSI officielt har bekræftet prisen på sin kommende håndholdte gaming-pc, MSI klo. Denne Intel-drevne håndholdte pc starter ved en cool $700, selvom den mere kraftfulde chip vil sætte dig mere tilbage.

Som spottet af Liliputing, har MSI nu frigivet officielle amerikanske priser for den håndholdte på egen hånd webbutik. I’m yet to spot any pricing on the official UK store.

Der er tre Claw-modeller på vej til os i den nærmeste fremtid:

• Klo A1M-050US | 1TB SSD | Core Ultra 7 155H | $800
• Klo A1M-051US | 512 GB SSD | Core Ultra 7 155H | $750
• Klo A1M-052US | 512 GB SSD | Core Ultra 5 135H | $700

The cheapest model at $700 comes with the Core Ultra 5 135H, an Intel Meteor Lake processor with four P-cores, eight E-cores, and two low-power E-cores. With fewer P-cores than you might see on a gaming laptop today, and notably fewer than handhelds built around AMD’s competing Ryzen 7 7840U eller Z1 Extreme, kan dette virke som et mindre ønskeligt valg end de to andre muligheder drevet af Ultra 7-processorer med seks P-kerner.

Though to be fair to the Ultra 5 chip, it does come with the full compliment of 8 Xe-cores within its GPU component—the same amount found in the higher-end chips. That means it’s not at a massive loss for graphical performance, providing the CPU can keep up. We’ve been testing the 135H within a compact gaming handheld/mini laptop from OneXPlayer, and despite early reservations regarding the core count it has performed well in most games. With the same likely to be true of the MSI Claw, I would suspect the 135H is not altogether a bad pick for a 1080p handheld PC.

Though it’s true that MSI is competing with a fantastic chip out of AMD in the handheld market. The Z1 Extreme and Ryzen 7 7840U are effectively one and the same, and both come with eight full-fat CPU cores for roughly the same money as MSI is asking for here.

I’ve used the MSI Claw briefly over at MSI’s CES booth and it was a decent machine in hand, but one I felt lacked the finish of the Lenovo Legion Go, som jeg brugte til anmeldelse på det tidspunkt. Jeg gik også væk og følte, at der generelt ikke blev gjort meget indtryk på mig. 

Med lignende prismærker har MSI en hård kamp foran sig for at svaje spillere væk fra den noget overkill Legion Go. Mest af alt på grund af, hvad de $700 giver dig: enten budgettet 512GB MSI Claw eller (takket være en løbende salg) topmodellen af ​​Go med et 1TB-drev og Z1 Extreme-chippen.

The Claw does have some benefits worth talking about, at least. The Hall effect thumbsticks are a plus and means you don’t have to mod them onto your device yourself. Wi-Fi 7 support could come in handy one day too, though you’ll need a Wi-Fi 7 compatible network first. The MSI also offers a 53Whr battery, which is higher than both Asus or Lenovo offer in their mainstream handhelds today.
