Handheld consoles have always been a bit of an enigma to me. While I can understand the appeal of carrying an entire computer with you, I'm equally skeptical of their performance and ease of use in the real world. After being disappointed with my fair share of laptops, I decided to abandon the idea altogether. Well, that was until my colleague gave me an MSI Claw.
Try the NEW updated MSI Claw Gaming Handheld: worth it?
Said to be the next big thing, the MSI Claw has a great mix of hardware components backed by software. As I got into the habit of carrying the Claw around everywhere I went, I realized that I had completely stopped using my gaming computer. But this change was not sudden. It was a sustained mix of factors that made the MSI Claw the best gaming handheld I've ever used. What were they? Well, let's talk about them here.
One of the biggest reasons I've avoided handheld consoles is that they're just plain uncomfortable. While one device will be too heavy to hold, others will have sharp corners or raised edges that hurt. The MSI Claw, on the other hand, is literally built differently. It features what MSI calls a "user-centric" design.
This gives the Claw a minimalistic profile that does an excellent job of being comfortable while showcasing its unique identity. MSI has achieved this by designing the Claw through the science of anthropometry. Simply put, the PDA has been designed perfectly to fit the natural contours of the human grip.
