- The MSI Claw A8 is now available for Pre-Pedido in China
- It has an official price of 6,999 RMB without subsidy, which is approximately $ 970
- This July is expected to be launched in China, and potentially the same in other regions.
MSI announced its last PC for portable games in CES 2025 without any word on the date or launch prices, so official details have taken a long time to arrive, but it seems that we can finally have our response.
As reported by Videocardz, the MSI Claw A8 is now available for pre-the-date in China, with a confirmed launch this July. Its official price (according to its list of early orders from China) is 6,999 RMB, which is approximately $ 970 (including tax), which makes it even more expensive than its MSI Claw 8 AI+predecessor.
There is also a subsidized price to 5,949 RMB (around $ 737), thanks to the Chinese government that offers a 15% subsidy in some products, but this will probably not be relevant to other regions.
As the first hand computer to use the Ryzen Z2 Extreme of AMD processor (if it is launched before Rog Xbox ally), it is expected to exceed most of the hand computers such as the Asus Rog Ally X, the Lenovo Go Legion and the Switch 2 Nintendo 2. However, if the converted price is necessary for its retail price when available in the US Prospective advantages 2.
The MSI Claw 8 AI+, the predecessor of the Claw A8, is already an expensive hand; It can be argued to support its price with great games of the games, but that does not change the fact that it requires most players.
The CLAW A8 potentially has a higher price would suggest that the Z2 Extreme is the most powerful chip than the Core Ultra 258V of Claw 8 AI+, but it is difficult to see that it is sold well if it is pushing even closer at a price of $ 1,000.
ANALYSIS: Do not masturbate please, msi …
While nothing is confirmed for other regions, I would say that it is very Probably that the supposed price based on its Chinese list (or somewhere inside that stadium) is precise.
It is difficult to believe that the A8 claw is significantly cheaper than the Claw 8 AI+, especially if the Ryzen Z2 Extreme turns out to be the best option for performance. It would not have been Irazonable to wait for a great price change, so, but that does not mean that the price does not affect its appeal.
Yeah It is more expensive than the hand computer that is already difficult to buy (since the Claw 8 AI+ is scarce), so we can really forget it challenging the other laptops and the Switch 2.
The MSI Claw 8 AI+ is already pressing it with its price of $ 899 / £ 899 / au $ 1,799, and is worse with price increases due to tariffs. I have no doubt that it will be one of the best hand computers in the market in terms of performance, but I cannot say that I am not worried about the impression that its cost will leave consumers …
