No one should buy an MSI Claw. It\u2019s not technically broken: the first 7-inch Intel Core Ultra handheld gaming PC doesn\u2019t regularly crash or anything like that. But the Claw falls so far short of the competition that it\u2019s effectively dead on arrival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In almost every way, the $750 MSI Claw feels like an inferior clone of the Asus ROG Ally<\/a> \u2014 except it costs more, not less! You could get a far better experience while saving hundreds of dollars if you choose a Steam Deck OLED<\/a> instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019ve spent weeks searching for a silver lining. In the end, I only found three tiny ways the Claw improves on the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
