The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ shows up as the future of gaming handhelds, but its price is just painful

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ gaming handheld, powered by Intel Arc, has appeared in premature listings ahead of its official announcement. Reports indicate a high price point, with listings showing costs of $1,699 and $1,799. This makes it one of the most expensive portable gaming PCs available. The MSI online store confirms that the Claw 8 EX AI+ is scheduled to start shipping on June 23, suggesting that production has not been hampered by shortages.
