Intel's next-gen gaming handheld is a beast

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus with Intel Arc G3 Extreme is the first handheld to deliver console-level performance in a small battery-powered package. The hardware: a 7.8-inch OLED with 1920x1080 resolution, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and 22 hours of battery life on video playback. Sean Hollister writes: 'The true leap in performance and battery life we've been waiting for … is finally here.' Why this matters for us: handheld consoles are the ultimate family entertainment and productivity tool — one device that handles gaming, streaming, and work on the go.
