MSI's Claw handheld gaming PC, updated with Intel's Core Ultra 7 258V SoC, offers improved performance and battery life compared to its predecessor. Starting at $799, pre-orders are open with shipping set for Christmas Day; Claw 7 and 8 models include new features like Thunderbolt 4 ports and variable refresh rate support.

The Claw 8 distinguishes itself with a larger, 8-inch screen and 16:10 aspect ratio, providing a more immersive gaming experience. Both variants aim to challenge AMD-based competitors such as the Asus ROG Ally by integrating Intel's latest mobile architecture for enhanced gaming capabilities.

Concurrently, leaks suggest Lenovo is launching a budget-friendly Legion Go update, featuring AMD's Ryzen Z2 chip and RDNA2-based APU architecture. Expected to strip some features from the original Legion Go, it resembles the ROG Ally more closely but lacks the detachable controllers and kickstand.
