This MSI handheld could replace my gaming laptop, and not just for its more portable design

The MSI Claw 8 AI+ improves on its predecessor, delivering better performance and a long-lasting battery.

On the top of the gadget are a pair of USB-C ports that can be used to connect the Claw 8 to an external monitor, opening up additional usability scenarios. At $999, this handheld is more expensive than even the OLED Steam Deck, but given its top-notch performance, battery life, and eight-inch display, the MSI Claw 8 makes itself worth the price.
