MSI Showcases AMD-Powered Gaming Handheld and Upgraded Mid-Range Gaming Laptops at Computex

Sure, here it goes:

So, I’m walking through Computex, definitely not lost, even though it felt like I was navigating a maze made by gaming wizards or something. Anyway—wait, no, seriously, let me focus—MSI decided to drop a bombshell with their new gaming gizmo, the Claw A8 BZ2EM. Yeah, it sounds like a code from a sci-fi movie, right? It’s got this AMD thing in it, which I guess is a big deal? They’ve been cozying up to Intel forever, but now they’re flirting with AMD too. Talk about having options.

Okay, the Claw A8. Picture this: it’s like MSI decided to take an Xbox controller and smush it into a handheld. Hall effect joysticks, apparently no more wandering thumbsticks? I didn’t even know that was a problem until now. And they’ve rounded the corners like a loaf of bread—comfy bread, though.

Oh! The specs! Right, so it’s packing too much RAM (24GB, like, why?), AMD this, AMD that—you get the drift. And the battery is this 80 WHr thing, which I’m told is neither tiny nor gigantic. They’re keeping quiet about prices though, so maybe save some change if you’re interested?

Jump over to their laptops—MSI’s got those decked out too. This Crosshair might make you think of archery, but it’s about bigger screens (16 to 18 inches, wowza) and some mix-up of Intel and AMD innards. The naming was so bonkers, seriously—different letters for Intel and AMD versions. And, right, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 or 5070 cards or whatever, keeping things fancy and slightly confusing for us.

And then there’s this Cyborg line? Yeah, half see-through like it’s showing off its innards—totally cool or maybe a bit much, depending on your mood. And they’ve got options galore, some 1080p here, some 1440p there, throw in new chips, and voila! But be ready to shell out some dough. Costco has a deal I think, but no prices for some, so good luck keeping track!

Lastly, they teased some artsy laptops, yukata style or something. I mean, artwork on tech, who would’ve thought? Adds a splash of color to all this tech talk. There’s your MSI Computex rundown—or something like that.
