Great machine!
This thing is awesome. I'm playing Hitman WOA on Steam and its quite clean and the screen is beautiful. I havent run any bench marks yet, but its running smoothly. ChatGPT says Cyberpunk 2077 will run well with some reasonable attention to settings as well. I love this thing!

Best in class for handheld gaming PC (claw 7ai+). Would highly recommend!!!
My absolute favorite gaming mini handheld PC ever. 5/5. Claw 7ai+ is super great !!! Dragon ball gekinshin squadra on this thing is amazing!!! The PC is super fast for msi claw 7 ai + Love it so much yay !!! Battery seems decent but could be better. I didn't want the claw 8 so my problem there because the 8 has a slightly bigger battery. Otherwise a very decent handheld gaming PC at the least. Light weight and easy to hold overall. I paid $900 and that's new with tax. It's a great value overall for the money spent. Great birthday gift for me ^_^. Thanks family and friends for the help getting this at all. I appreciate it. Also thank you amazon for having this $50 off plus in stock. Good stuff. Lol. The way it does function on wifi 6 and on windows 11 is truly great. It's the fastest handheld I've ever had. Much better than the switch 2. Very happy with the purchase. Looking forward to the msi claw series in the future -- this should hold me over for a long time!! Thanks for posting my review Amazon! Yay.

Very good and huge upgrade
Awesome device, very powerful and a huge upgrade from steam deck. Windows is a down, but works very well and performance using Bazzite is really great. I recommend getting this. Size is good and comfort to hold.

love this thing
for an every day gamer, its awesome. there's a lot of videos and opinions about graphics and playability but ultimately its plays FF7 rebirth on low to mid just fine, it does stutter a little but it plays. it plays warzone, little slow on the rendering but it loads before the main part of the match, but it plays. definitely get a micro sd for extra storage and pay attention to transfer speed if you want to play off it. a little heavy but you don't notice if you in the zone. battery last awhile for mid gaming and by the time its low or dead, got do something else while its charging.

Definitely worth it if you have the cash
I have had the claw 8 ai+ for a month now and love it. With it being a windows device, it comes with all the pains of windows updates but that was expected. Otherwise, this thing is great! It can handle most newer games on at least medium settings. A lot of newer games will run ultra. The best part is I can use steam, xbox, gog, epic, ea, ubisoft and whatever other launchers. I get about an hour and a half when playing when not plugged in with ai settings on. I get about one hour with all settings maxed. I got a 100w charger (it comes with a 45w) and a dock to hook it up to my tv. Works fine, just make sure you have low latency (gaming mode on some tvs) turned on. It is BIG for a handheld, but that's what I wanted. But, it is strangely lightweight for how big it is. The screen is super bright and the speakers are decent. They aren't super high quality, but they are fine for gaming. Just don't expect to use it as your primary way of listening to music. Also, the 2 thunderbolt ports make it semi-futureproof. You can use those to hook up an external GPU if you want. I do wish that it came with a true users guide. There are a lot of little tips and tricks that it doesn't tell you. Such as, I had no idea the power button doubles as a fingerprint scanner! I would definitely watch some YouTube videos on features and tips for it. And as always, UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE all the software and firmware. It will run much better. Pros: great battery life, can handle most games, has all the features of a windows laptop. Cons: price, speakers, and no real user guide. Overall, if you have the money, I would recommend it.

DON'T BUY THIS!!!!
I'm gonna start with I have the MSI ge66 raider. I bought it 3 years ago and I love it. I never have a problem with it and it plays everything perfectly. With that being said I was very hopeful about getting the claw. Don't do it. Took a couple hours to set up, update, and get fallout 76 with some mods installed. I played it for an hour and everything worked perfect. Smooth great graphics everything was good. Went to take a nap and let it charge for an hour. When I woke up I went to turn it on and nothing. Just a couple of slight vibrations and nothing. Went online and looked up anything and everything I can do to make it work. I tried everything except opening it and nothing worked. I called MSI customer support next. I've dealt with some bad customer support in the day but MSI was some of the worst I've ever experienced. Literally no help whatsoever and just said to return it to Amazon. Don't waste your time, money, or aggravation. I'm just gonna order the steamdeck and call it a day.

Nice, But Not for $1K
This is the current top of the line handheld in terms of specs. It performs quite well, runs the latest AAA games at acceptable FPS, and (even at full power) is relatively quiet. Graphics look good, the battery life will keep you going for 2 hours or more on the balanced setting and the 1tb SSD is speedy and a good start for storage. But even with all that said…I didn’t keep it. I just couldn’t bring myself to pay $1k for this device. For all the positives of its performance it can be outclassed by laptops hundreds of dollars cheaper. It’s also more expensive than the most expensive console. I know those aren’t the same kinds of products but I include them for perspective. So, the question you have to ask yourself is how much you’re willing to pay for the convenience of handheld gaming. Because to do so on this machine you’ll be paying a premium and (at present) a price further inflated by the tariff situation.

Tenía duda sobre invertir mucho dinero en esta consola, pero puedo decir ahora con toda certeza y seguridad que esta consola no solo cumple, supera mis expectativas y sobre todo vale cada centavo. Esta versión de MSI con chip Intel es totalmente distinta a todo lo que he comprado, Rog Ally, Steamdeck y Legión Go, corre la mayoría de juegos AAA arriba de los 30 - 40 FPS en calidad media y con una resolución 1920x1200, lo cual es un extasis visual y para los más exigentes (como yo) cumple muchísimo con este tema de calidad gráfica en relación con rendimiento. Por ultimo los materiales de construcción son excepcionales, se siente robustez y calidad, por lo cual se siente un equipo de gama alta y lo que son gatillos y joystick es de lo mejor en handhelds. Sin duda MSI me ha comprado como usuario y si vuelve a sacar una consola que compita o supere al mercado me tendrá como cliente asegurado.

Actually much better than I expected, hard to tell you guys what runs and what doesn’t cos you might not all be interested in everything i play but I can say that everything I have downloaded has worked to an extent but experience some stutter may occur but if you lower the graphics settings in-game it’s still absolutely playable. Battery life during gameplay is poor but from such a small high power machine I wouldn’t expect it to last more than two hours with everything running on high settings. Makes me wonder how good the 8 AI+ is. If your looking for a handheld but don’t want to commit to either the steam deck or rog ally to then this is definitely the way to go for an ok device that has slightly more capability through a standard windows 11 set up. Don’t expect to be able to drop into a game of Warzone or marvel rivals without having to sacrifice something in the settings. All this has definitely scratched my handheld gaming itch
