The biggest computing tech event of the year, Computex 2025, is fast approaching, which means that newhandheld gaming PCs could be unveiled – and fortunately, a new leak suggests a new handheld from MSI may be one of them.

As reported byVideoCardz, a new MSI Claw has been spotted by a leaker on X (@94G8LA), based onMSI's hardware parts store. It appears to be a new variant of the originalMSI Claw A1M, as it's labelled 'MSI Claw 7 A2HM', but is instead rumored to use one of AMD's Ryzen Z2 APUs or Intel's Arrow Lake processors.

This comes afterspeculation of MSI eventually releasing a new Claw handheld that could take advantage of Team Red's new APU lineup; while this should be taken with a grain of salt, this leak makes the previous rumors more plausible.

The purported new Claw won't be an 'AI+' handheld based on its leaked model name, so it may be safe to assume that it might not be as powerful as the Claw 8's Core Ultra 7 258V chip. However, it could likely be an upgrade from the original A1M model, which used the Core Ultra 5 155H processor (and that wasn't received well based on reviews).

Regardless, the question remains; if it does use one of AMD's Ryzen Z2 processors, will this be the Z2 Go (which we've seen on the Legion Go S), the Z2, or the Z2 Extreme? If the latter is the answer, then we could be in for a fantastic upgrade from MSI's original A1M handheld mishap.

Ich würde gerne eine Ryzen Z2 Extreme MSI Claw bekommen, aber ich wünschte, sie hätte ein größeres Display als 7 Zoll. Das negative Feedback zum MSI Claw A1M hat sich größtenteils gelegt, aber es wurde für seine Gaming-Leistung, Akkulaufzeit und die Unfähigkeit, mit Geräten wie dem Asus ROG Ally zu konkurrieren, kritisiert. Dennoch hat MSI mit dem Claw 8 AI+ deutliche Verbesserungen erzielt, und es gibt Gerüchte über ein neues Modell, den Claw A2HM, vor allem wenn es die Z2-Extreme-APU hat. Die einzige Sorge ist, dass es ebenfalls ein 7-Zoll-Display haben könnte.
