If you are looking to get a handheld gaming PC, then this offer on the MSI Claw might be a good opportunity for you.

However, since then, the MSI gaming handheld has received several useful updates, which make it a bit more competitive than it was. For instance, the new update to BIOS and MSI Center M in May is said to have boosted the performance by 30%. On the flip side, you could always wait for the upcoming M
