MSI Claw 8 AI+ Review 2025 | Still Worth Buying After 1 Year?

Описание: Is the MSI Claw 8 AI+ still a good buy in late 2025 or has it already been overtaken by newer handhelds like the MSI Claw A8, Legion Go 2, or Xbox ROG Ally X?

I’ve been using the Claw 8 AI+ as my main handheld for over 7 months, and in this video I break down exactly what I like about it, what still annoys me, and whether it actually makes sense to buy one today. ‪@MSIGamingOfficial‬

We’ll talk about:

-Ergonomics and long-session comfort
-The 8” 1080p VRR screen (and why resolution matters on a handheld)
-Fan noise, speakers, and real-world immersion
-Battery life and realistic expectations
-Windows usability and everyday gaming experience
-Intel vs AMD handhelds in 2025
-XeSS upscaling — when it helps and when it doesn’t
-Z2 Extreme vs Intel performance (and why the gap is smaller than people think)
-Center M software issues (and how much they really matter)

The Claw 8 AI+ isn’t perfect but after seven months of daily use, it has become my go-to handheld for most of my gaming. Big screen, big battery, 32 GB of RAM out of the box, quiet operation, and performance that still holds up surprisingly well in today’s market.

If you’re shopping around the 1,000 € range and wondering whether the Claw 8 AI+ is still worth it and hopefully this video will help you decide.
