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

MSI seems to have learned from its Intel adventure in the first Claw model. The Claw A8 BZ2EM is now equipped with AMD’s specially optimized Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor for portable devices. This upgrade brings not only a performance boost but also major improvements 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, and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support.

Why Is It Considered the "Best Value" Option?

MSI Claw A8 stands strong among its big competitors, 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 switch from Windows clutter straight to a console-like interface.

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