After much anticipation, MSI has exclusively disclosed to us the Philippine launch of the powerful Claw gaming handheld. Mark your calendars for March 3rd when pre-orders kick off.
Unveiled at CES 2024, the Claw made waves as the world’s first handheld with Intel’s latest Core Ultra platform, packing desktop-class performance into a slim 675g chassis. We can confirm the Claw will land in Philippines in three initial variants.
The entry-level Claw A1M-075PH runs an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 135H with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage for PHP 45,995. Stepping up, the mid-tier Claw A1M-076PH has Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H, 16GB RAM and 512GB storage for PHP 50,995. Topping the range, the flagship Claw A1M-077PH also utilizes the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H but boosts storage to 1TB for PHP 53,995.
All variants share the same core specs – stunning 7-inch 1080p touchscreen with 120Hz refresh rate, Intel Arc integrated graphics, WiFi 6E connectivity, and generous 53Wh battery. This portable powerhouse aims to deliver uncompromising AAA gaming on the go.
MSI is kicking off an exclusive preorder promotion on March 3rd through their Shopee flagship store. Buyers can score bonus freebies worth up to PHP 5,000 with the first 50 orders. The first ten registrants will also get PHP 3,000 Shopee gift card cashbacks.

We were also informed by MSI that those who will pre-order the MSI Claw will receive a Steam Code worth PHP 2,200 + PHP 2,800 worth of accessories which include a Claw Carrying Case, Claw Lanyard, and Claw Keychain. Sweetening the deal, all pre orders come with a standard 2-year warranty.
Once the preorder period ends on March 15th, the wait begins for the Claw’s official availability within the end of March and to all authorized MSI retailers nationwide. Stocks are expected to be pretty limited for the cutting-edge Claw, so interested buyers should lock-in preorders if possible.
