00:00This is the new MSI Claw 8EX AI Plus, one of the first gaming cantels releasing with the
00:05Intel Arc G3 Extreme Processor. It sticks with the 8-inch 16x10 IPS display that we've seen on
00:11the past few claws, but combines it with these more Xbox-like controllers that are a big ergonomic
00:16upgrade. At the top, you have two USB 4 Type-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card reader,
00:23your volume rocker, and your power button. This is a bit heavy at 785 grams, but with the new
00:28grips, it distributes that weight really well. The D-pad and face buttons also get a nice upgrade
00:32thanks to the metal plating underneath, so they feel much more tactile. Underneath, there's also a
00:36new haptic motor, which delivers stronger vibrations and gives you that added immersion. Now, what do
00:41we think about this new purple color? It's definitely not going to be for everyone, but
00:44personally, I like that it stands out from the sea of black and white handhelds. While an OLED option
00:49would have been nice, this IPS panel still looks pretty punchy and is helping keep some of the
00:53costs down. Sort of. Because at $17.99, this is going to be a serious investment, but with the
01:00performance and redesign upgrades we're getting this year, do you think you're ready to spend that much?
