MSI’s Claw is a Windows 11 handheld gaming PC that sits in the same space as the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, but with Intel’s Core Ultra platform at its heart. This one is refurbished, which typically means it has been returned or previously used, then fully tested and restored to working order, with any cosmetic marks usually minor and varying by unit. Expect performance and battery life to be closer to a compact laptop than a traditional console, with the flexibility of installing PC launchers and games.
Who is this refurbished MSI Claw best for?
Pick it if you want a portable Windows machine for Steam, Game Pass and indie libraries, and you’re happy to tinker with settings to balance frame rate and fan noise. The 7 inch 120Hz Full HD touchscreen suits fast-paced games and makes Windows navigation less painful than on lower refresh displays, while the 1TB SSD gives you room for a few big titles without immediate juggling.
- Core Ultra 7 155H and 16GB RAM: better suited to modern PC games and multitasking than entry-level handhelds.
- 1TB SSD: fewer compromises on install size, useful for AAA games.
- 7 inch 120Hz Full HD touchscreen: smoother motion and sharper UI than 60Hz 720p panels.
