Over at Intel's Lunar Lake launch event, MSI had something on show that I was particularly excited to give a whirl. It's the new MSI Claw, the Claw 8, which is actually the second model of the handheld gaming PC. The important thing is that it's bigger in a few ways, including both battery and screen.
I've never played Hi-Fi Rush and was understandably terrible at the game, but I blame that on it being too loud at the event to match the music beat for beat. Importantly, it ran well on the Lunar Lake machine. MSI had no other games we could play on the device for a true test of its prowess, though Hi-Fi Rush ran smoothly. It probably should, as it's not the most demanding game around, but Lunar Lake's new Xe2 GPU does appear to keep up well.
