Computex 2026: MSI launches new Claw gaming handheld with Arc G3 Extreme

At Computex this week, the MSI Laptop team has a bunch to show off. At the top of the list is a new Claw gaming handheld, this time with an upgrade to Intel's new Arc G3 and G3 Extreme processors. 

The MSI Claw always stood out from the pack for its inclusion of an Intel chip versus something like the popular Ryzen Z1. However, now, Intel has a processor designed specifically with handhelds in mind, the Arc G3 and Arc G3 Extreme, and MSI is swiftly adopting it.

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is powered by the new Arc G3 Extreme chip, promising Xe graphics with hardware-level support for Ray Tracing and the latest XeSS upscaling features like Multi-Frame Generation. It also has a 120Hz VRR display and as a Windows-based handheld, you'll have no issues with game compatibility, and you'll be able to use the new ‘Xbox Mode' for a more handheld-friendly game-focused UI.

The Titan 18 HX gaming laptop makes a return, but this time as the Dragon Edition, featuring new artwork to commemorate MSI's 40th anniversary. Under the hood, the laptop is powered by an Inrel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU and an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU.

MSI Also has new Katana series laptops, new MLG Edition laptops and an all-new laptop featuring Nvidia's recently launched RTX Spark hardware.

KitGuru Says: What kind of performance are you expecting to see from the new Intel Arc G3 Extreme?
