Less than a year after its previous release, the new MSI Claw 8 AI+ is the handheld PC we should have seen the first time around. It's improved in just about every way, with a new efficient CPU and whopping 80Wh battery. Let's take a deep dive into this handheld to see whether or not its worth the high retail price of $900.

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
