Handheld consoles have gained more and more popularity in recent years. Consoles like the Nintendo Switch prove there is a really big market for these. While on the other hand, Steam Deck proves that AAA gaming is totally practical on a handheld. More and more portable handhelds are making their way to the market. Now, One the most powerful of them, The MSI Claw, comes to the EU market.

The device is not consistently available in all EU regions. While some don’t, others do. On the other hand, the CLAW is now listed as in stock and ready for immediate purchase at the official MSI store in Germany.
The CLAW brings special features to the category of high-end portable gaming devices. It is notable for being the first handheld with an integrated Arc Graphics-capable Intel Core Ultra processor. It also has a native Thunderbolt 4 connector and WiFi capabilities. It’s also MSI’s first portable gaming system.
The 7-inch screen in MSI’s design has a 1920 x 1080 resolution at 120 Hz, which is in line with the ROG Ally’s requirements. It is noteworthy for supporting the same type of M.2 2230 PCIe Gen4 storage and having a greater battery size of 53 Wh.
But those hoping for additional RAM or a more affordable pricing point might be let down by the CLAW. The 512GB model—which isn’t even the top model—is officially priced at €849, which is €150 more than its rivals, according to MSI’s German website. The highest model, which features 16GB RAM and 1TB storage costs €949.
Influencers and the media have already received several devices from MSI, despite the company not having formally released its review embargo. For a few weeks now, these sources and people have been leaking information and revealing features.
