The Claw was revealed as part of MSI's CES 2024 announcements. We were able to sit down with Clifford Chun, MSI's System Product Management Director, there to learn more about what makes this handheld stand out from its competitors as well. Alongside the fact that this handheld uses Intel as its CPU and GPU, Chun also explained that battery life is an important factor for them. The Claw has a two hour battery life, which he explains that "The Intel Core Ultra actually helps us to achieve that". You can learn more about this new device in our MSI Claw Interview from CES 2024.
