MSI has long been a partner of Intel's with its Claw handheld, but at Computex, the company's Claw 8 EX AI+ looked like the strongest version yet. That's largely based on the fact that it's using the Intel Arc G3 Extreme, based on the company's Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) chips, with integrated graphics ready to take on AMD. The system, which comes in one color, 'void purple,' has two extended grips on the sides. On the ground at Computex in Taipei, Tom's Hardware's Jeffrey Kampman confirmed that the Claw 8 EX AI+ "felt excellent in my hands," and that "the grips are large and well-contoured and distribute the weight of the system well."
