Running on Windows 11, similar to its counterparts from Lenovo and Asus, the MSI Claw seamlessly integrates into the Windows ecosystem, offering compatibility with a wide range of games and applications.
The battery life and pricing of the MSI Claw further demonstrate its competitive edge in the market. With a 53 watt-hour battery, the MSI Claw delivers up to two hours of full performance mode, allowing gamers to indulge in extended gaming sessions without interruption. Starting at $699 for the Core Ultra 5 model with a 512GB SSD, the MSI Claw offers remarkable value for its technological prowess, with additional configurations available for those seeking even higher performance.
