EVERYTHING IS CLAW-SOME
MSI Claw
It might look innocent but your smartphone has many deaths on its digital conscience. Ever since those magical rectangles appeared in our hands back in the early 2000s we’ve gradually seen aslew of other gadgets –compact cameras, MP3 players, sat-navs –join fax machines and pagers in the big Blockbuster in the sky… but reports of handheld gaming’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. MSI’s Claw is the latest portable PC to join the revolution –but unlike most of the others, which use AMD processors, this Windows-powered device has Intel’s new Core Ultra silicon inside. Combine that with Intel Arc graphics and 16GB of RAM, and that should mean it has enough grunt to run even the most demanding AAA games without complaint… although you’ll only get 2hrs out of the 53Whr battery if you push it to its limits.
