It would have been surprising not to see new portable consoles presented in preview at the Computex, a great mass of computer science currently taking place in Taipei. The impression of seeing a new nomadic joke every 4 mornings is a bit overused, but not so far from the truth, and it is MSI who shoots first with two new iterations for his Claw family.
As a reminder, we left a few weeks ago already on a good impression with the MSI CLAW 8 AI+ Who, despite the usual pitfalls of the Windows consoles, had impressed us with the power of his Intel chip. She comes back here with the Claw 8 AI+ Polar Tempest Edition, a name far too long for the new features she embarks.

If the Lunar Lake generation processor remains unchanged, the console swaps its beige-retro color to drape all white, with a “sparkling UV coating” and an SSD storage module now boosted with 2 to … without more. A “luxury” model, more than a real new console.
To see a little more change, you have to look at the side of the MSI Claw A8: the first console in the range to pass on the side of the Team Red. If the console’s arrangement remains the same, this version has a Ryzen Z2 extreme chip, and becomes at the same time the first console formalized with the new generation of Mobile processors Gaming of AMD.

If the Z2 Extreme still has 8 calculation cores and 16 threads compared to the Extreme Z1 chip, their maximum frequency is slightly boosted at 5.1 GHz, while the graphical calculation units are now counted 16. Consequently, the thermal footprint is also reworked, from 15 to 35 W, to satisfy energy delicacy. Moreover, the 8 -inch 120 Hz screen of the Claw 8 AI+ always responds, while several colors are offered – including apple green. Ah, and if ever doubt persisted, the on -board bone is always Windows 11 … No question of hoping for a steamos version as Lenovo provides with the Legion Go S.
