Video Description

👉 Join me as we take a VERY in-depth look at the first handheld from @MSIGamingOfficial, the Claw, which is powered by Intel's Meteor Lake Core Ultra processors. In this video, we will be covering the Core Ultra 5 135H variant, which is now the first handheld device to feature this chipset. It's also the first time we will be looking at the 135H as well as the Claw on the channel. Please join me for this review as we do an unboxing, teardown, a very in-depth benchmarking of the 135H, PC Gaming, and Emulation testing and a whole lot more! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🙏🙏Thank you SO much for all of the support! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ MSI Claw - 👉Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aguaqj 👉MSI Direct: https://bit.ly/3Vptivj Support the channel, purchase a handheld 🙏🤗💗 👉Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aPIWWi 👉AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDHfsh7 As an Amazon/Aliexpress Associate I earn from qualifying purchases from links posted in my description and comments section.
