MSI Unveils AMD-Powered Gaming Handheld and Updated Mid-Range Laptops at Computex

Sure thing, here’s my take on rewriting that article in a more human, slightly chaotic way:

—

So, here’s a wild one—MSI just swung by Computex with something fresh, a gaming handheld called the Claw A8 BZ2EM, boasting an AMD chip. Yep, some gaming magic happening there. They also, and this might be a side note, showed off their Crosshair and Cyborg laptops, but let’s not get sidetracked right away.

You know, MSI used to be obsessed with Intel’s Core Ultra processors for their Claw 8 AI+—it’s kinda funny, right? Like, the only brand crazy enough to stick with that plan. Now, they’re mixing it up, playing it cool with both Intel and AMD chips. Probably a good move or maybe just one of those “let’s-see-what-sticks” strategies. Who knows.

Now the Claw A8, which sounds pretty neat when you think about it—the tech stuff is top-shelf. It’s got the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme. The screen’s 8 inches at 1920 x 1200, hitting a very specific 120 Hz. Yep, that’s some VRR and IPS-level lingo for you. There’s 24GB of RAM (say what?), and they’ve packed an 80 WHr battery. The crazy thing is, it makes you think if this might just be the handheld we’ve all been secretly wishing for. Or not, I don’t know.

The design? Very green, whatever that means. With an Xbox-style controller, because why not? Thumbsticks and buttons all placed just right to keep your thumbs happy. MSI says they’ve got these Hall Effect joysticks to fend off that nasty stick drift. It feels as if they’re looking out for our twitchy gamer thumbs, bless them.

They’ve also done some ergonomic wizardry—rounded corners, bigger grips. Apparently, MSI cares about our comfort now? Who’d have thought? And you can cram in up to 24GB of LPDDR5x-8000 RAM because, obviously, we need all that power. Crazy times.

But, who are we kidding? MSI has this wild habit of throwing specs around like confetti but keeping mum on which market gets what. A bit like those mystery box things—you never know what you’ll end up with. Flashback to Asus, who did something similar with the ROG Ally X, loading it with 24GB. Apparently, the CPU and GPU had a fun time sharing.

Port-wise, they crammed in a headphone jack, microSD slots, USB 4 Type-C stuff. Oh, and just casually, a power button with a fingerprint reader. Very spy-tech. And, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can probably switch out the SSD. I reckon it’s because sometimes commitment to one configuration is overrated.

MSI’s tinkering with their software too, making it cozy with Xbox Game Bar, but they’re hiking on Windows 11 turf, which—let’s be real—isn’t the gamer’s wonderland. At least not yet.

Then there are these laptops. Mid-range beauties shining with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 and 5070. The Crosshairs—yes, that’s what we’re calling them—come in all sizes, really. Confusingly though, the Intel ones rock a Crosshair 18 HX AI badge, whereas AMD has the A18HX flair. AI here means Intel, but not, you know, artificial intelligence. MSI sure loves their quirky naming games.

Specs fest? Coming right up! All models flaunt Nvidia’s RTX shenanigans—5070, 5060, and maybe something else lurking. Normally I’d say “future-proof,” but maybe I should just say “fancy.” It’s the MSI way.

They sent around a pricing teaser too—Crosshair 18HX AI starts at $1,699 at Costco. Not super affordable, but hey, 32GB RAM and a 1TB drive included, so they’re not cheaping out.

Wrapping up here, but MSI couldn’t resist a lap around the track with productivity laptops: Stealth A16 AI+ and Prestige 16 AI+. And for those artsy souls, MSI’s got this Prestige 13 AI+ “Ukiyo-e Edition” showcasing “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” hand-crafted artistry. Makes you wonder who’d buy that, right?

And there we have it—MSI’s Computex snapshot, with surprises, some confusion, and a lot of specs. Let’s see what sticks.
