MSI unveils Claw 8 EX AI Plus, promising the first Arc G3 Extreme handheld
MSI unveiled the Claw 8 EX AI Plus handheld gaming PC ahead of Computex 2026, branding it as the world’s first handheld to contain Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme processor with Xe3 GPUs. The device features an eight-inch 1920×1200 touchscreen up to 120Hz, a redesigned ergonomic chassis, Hall-effect triggers and sticks, a high-end linear motor for tighter haptics, one NVMe M.2 slot, and up to 32GB LPDDR5x RAM. Pricing and release date weren’t announced, and while MSI claims first-to-market status, Acer Predator Atlas 8 and OneXPlayer 3 are also expected to use Arc G3 chips. The Claw 8 AI Plus (predecessor) launched around $1,000.
