MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM Review: Ryzen Z2 Extreme Power in Your Hands!

It looks like MSI has learned from its Intel adventure with the first Claw model. The Claw A8 BZ2EM now comes equipped with AMD’s specially optimized Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor for portable devices. This change means a major leap not just in performance, but also in game compatibility.

Technical Specs and Performance

• Processor: AMD Ryzen™ Z2 Extreme (8 cores, 16 threads, turbo up to 5.0 GHz).

• Graphics: AMD Radeon™ 890M (RDNA 3.5 architecture for high FPS in AAA games).

• Display: 8-inch FHD+ (1920x1200), 120Hz refresh rate with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support.

• Memory: 24GB LPDDR5x-8000MHz (Faster and higher capacity RAM than its competitors).

• Battery: 80Whr (One of the best in its class, up to 3 hours of intense gaming).

• Storage: 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD (Full-size 2280 slot for easy upgrades).

• Controller: Hall Effect analog sticks and triggers (Zero drift risk).

Why Is It Considered the Best Value?

The MSI Claw A8 carves out a solid spot for itself among heavyweights like ROG Ally X and Legion Go 2.

1. Display Balance: Bigger than the 7-inch Ally X, yet more portable than the 8.8-inch Legion Go.

2. Software Support: With Xbox Full Screen Experience, you can skip Windows clutter and jump straight into a console-like interface.

3. Cooling: Thanks to Cooler Boost HyperFlow technology, the device runs at high performance without heating up the grips.
