Reviews for the MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM

MSI Claw A8 hands-on review: AMD Z2 Extreme makes its first splash
Source: The Shortcut English EN→zh-CN
I came to Computex 2025 fully expecting the Asus ROG Ally 2 to give us a first look at the power of AMD Z2 Extreme, but out of left field comes the MSI Claw A8 to steal the show. This is probably (definitely) because Microsoft is forcing Asus to keep everything hush until the Xbox Handheld reveal this non-E3 season in the summer. But this game gave MSI the perfect chance to slide into the picture and steal Asus’ thunder, and it worked gloriously. MSI has delivered on a thoroughly impressive device that feels nostalgic and fun with a blocky design and bright colors. The AMD Z2 Extreme also delivers on impressive performance so far, with 45 frames per second while playing Final Fantasy XV with medium settings and 60+ fps on Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. The overall controls feel even better, too, with clicker face buttons, rounded-off triggers, and option buttons that are larger to hit. Hopefully, MSI can keep up the momentum and ship the Claw A8 before the Asus ROG Ally 2 releases.

I just tested the MSI Claw A8 with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme — it’s so good it made me forget about the Nintendo Switch 2

With the Claw A8 BZ2EM, MSI could’ve added AMD Ryzen Z2 and called it a day. Instead, the team locked in and delivered significant improvements to the design and ergonomics, to make one of the best gaming handhelds I’ve ever held. While I’m a little worried about the price, I’m certainly not worried about this giving any gamer plenty of fun for a long time to come.

这个屏幕尺寸介于智能手机和平板的边缘。大部分平板电脑都采用更大尺寸的屏幕,不过也有一些智能手机提供了这样大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
