MSI Claw A1M Review: Late to the Party

Technology might seem like it's constantly moving forward on a curve, but it's often cyclical. Flip phones, instant cameras, and record players have all made a comeback. Now it's the gaming handheld's turn. While Nintendo has always had a handheld in the market, Windows-based portable gaming devices seem to have taken off in the past couple of years, with major manufacturers rushing to bring their products to market.

MSI is one of those manufacturers. The Taiwanese firm unveiled the MSI Claw A1M, its Intel-powered handheld gaming PC, in the sea of AMD-powered handheld gaming PCs at CES 2024. The device was officially launched in India in March, days after its global release, but initial availability was suspect. Now, the Claw is available in the Indian market in three variants — a base model running on Intel Core Ultra 5 processor and packing 512GB of SSD storage, a middle-tier model with Core Ultra 7 chipset and the same storage capacity and a top-end Core Ultra 7-powered model with 1TB of SSD storage.

The Core Ultra 5 model of the MSI Claw A1M launched in India at Rs. 88,990, while the Core Ultra 7 models were priced at Rs. 96,990 and Rs. 99,990 for the 512GB and 1TB storage variants, respectively. MSI has since revised the pricing for the handheld, slashing it down considerably to Rs. 59,990 for the base variant, with the two Core Ultra 7 variants coming in at Rs. 66,990 and Rs. 69,990.

But is the Meteor Lake-powered MSI Claw A1M a worthy competitor to products from Asus and Lenovo that run on the AMD Ryzen Z1 series of processors built specifically for gaming handhelds? I spent an extended period of time testing out the MSI Claw A1M, and while there are a few things the handheld does well, there's a lot that misses the mark. As a Windows-based gaming handheld, the competition with the ROG Ally and the Legion Go, but it often feels like it's going against its flaws.

The MSI Claw is much bigger and beefier than the Nintendo Switch

Many are the horror games that involve you going down. Down is where much of the Badness in the world is traditionally located, after all, whether you're talking about geology or psychology or theology. White Knuckle reverses the flow. You are already Down; by extrapolation, you must now go Up.

Free Gold XP, exclusive discounts, Black Friday PC game deals at Green Man Gaming
Who doesn’t love great deals on PC games? Sure, there are the usual suspects, but I want to take a moment to talk about one of my favorite places to go: Green Man Gaming. You can find a wide variety of PC games for sale, including DLC, new releases, and more. But one of the reasons I like it so much is thanks to a membership loyalty program called XP. Just like in games, you can level up your XP tier, essentially by purchasing games and content. Typically, to reach the top Gold XP tier you’d have to buy a lot of goods. But thanks to a Black Friday sale, you can get access free — just use code XPDIGITAL. You’re probably wondering why that’s a great deal or why it matt

Is Civilization 7 cross-platform?
In today’s day and age, launching an upcoming video game as hotly anticipated as Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 and not having it be a cross-platform game can be a death sentence. Some of the best PC games like Valorant choose to have limited cross-platform support, while others like Final Fantasy 14 break down all barriers. We already know that this will be the first time the series has launched on consoles at the same time as PC, but has Civilization 7 kept up with the times and included cross-platform support? Let’s find out.
