The original MSI Claw A1M, which we reviewed in March 2024, didn’t quite live up to its potential as a handheld gaming PC. Now, in 2025, we are introduced with a new and improved MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM. It is powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor (Series 2) 258V, a larger 8-inch FHD+ 120Hz IPS-Level touch screen display (Variable Refresh Rate supported), hall effect analog joysticks and triggers, a larger 80Whr battery, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
Better yet, thanks to its two Thunderbolt 4 ports located at the top of the device, you can keep it charged while plugged into an external display, so it can double up as a Copilot+ PC for greater productivity.
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM is on pre-order now at Challenger for S$1,449 (S$1,399 for members) and will start shipping on 3 March 2025. All purchases of an MSI Claw 8 AI+ qualify for a free copy of Diablo IV along with its latest expansion, Vessel of Hatred.
When it comes to providing the right hardware at the right price, Destro is the man of the hour. Just don’t count of him keeping his deals exclusive to just one party. If you have coin, Destro has the wares.
