MSI Claw A8 with AMD APU Out Now in Taiwan, World Wide Sale Yet to Come
MSI has made the Claw A8 gaming hand device out there in a new spot beyond its first start in China. This tool, MSI's first to have an AMD chip, is up for early order in Taiwan. This gives us a peek at what it might cost around the world, even though we don't know when it will sell everywhere yet.
World First Show and Cost Info
The Claw A8, or Claw 8 Ryzen Edition, was first sold in China for CNY 6,999. It's now up for grabs in Taiwan at TWD 27,900, about $950 USD. This is the first time it's sold outside main China.
Market Position and Key Information
The Claw A8 comes with an 8-inch, 120 Hz IPS screen and has a Ryzen APU. In Taiwan, the price puts it between MSI's other tools. It costs less than the Intel Lunar Lake-based Claw 8 AI+ at $999 in the US for more storage but costs more than the 7-inch Claw 7 AI+ at $899 in the US.
This price set-up hints that when the Claw A8 makes it to North America and other places, its price might fit between the $899 and $999 that the two Intel techs cost.
Global Release Date
Right now, it's not clear when the MSI Claw A8 will come out in other parts of the world. The brand hasn't shared when it might start selling in North America or the rest of the globe.
