I WAS WRONG: An Unhinged Review of the MSI Claw's BEST Feature📢
92👉A no-specs review of the MSI Claw (Ultra Core 7 155H 512GB) by Stubbs, who initially doubted the device, but was won over by its audio quality in both hardware and software, ergonomic comfort for large hands, and low TDP battery life! The Claw is a real contender now with a new lower price point. Also, stay tuned for coverage of the Lunar Lake based Claw 8 AI+, we'll see it at CES in a few months (also discussed in the video a bit). This unit was sent for review by @MSIGamingOfficial (all thoughts are Stubbs' own, no money has been exchanged in any way). Strap in, and let's see where this journey goes!
If you DO want specs: the MSI Claw includes an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7-155H (or135H), Intel® Arc Graphics with 8 Xᵉ-Cores, 16GB LPDDR5-6400MHz, 512GB or 1TB NVMe SSD Gen4x4, a 7-inch FHD (1920x1080) 120Hz IPS-level touchscreen with 100% sRGB coverage, 53Whr battery, WiFi 7 BE1750, Bluetooth 5.4, 1x Thunderbolt™ 4 port, 2x2W Hi-Res speakers, Hall Effect joysticks and triggers!
