In a press release, the company pulls back the curtain on its two new devices, the Claw 8 AI+ and Claw 7 AI+. The most obvious difference between the two also gives them their namesakes, as the Claw 8 AI+ has an 8-inch screen, and the Claw 7 A+ has a 7-inch one. However, there are some additional tweaks under the hood: the Claw 8 features a 1TB HDD versus the Claw 7's 512GB model, and the Claw 8 has an 80Whr battery versus the Claw 7's 54.5Whr.

So, where does the AI come in? Well, thanks to the new Lunar Lake CPU upgrades, they now support Intel's AI-powered XeSS upscaling technology. This allows them to "deliver seamless gameplay across over 150 AAA titles while maintaining optimized power efficiency for extended gaming sessions." MSI claims this new tech "achieves 113% higher peak FPS and an average 20% FPS improvement compared to competitors" while only using 17W of power.
If you'd like to preorder a model, the Claw 7 AI+ sells for $799.99, while the Claw 8 AI+ sells for $899.99.
