MSI Crosshair 16 HX Monster Hunter Edition Laptop Specifications:
This gaming laptop flaunts a big, sharp display. It’s 16 inches with a really nice sharpness—Quad-HD+ 2,560 X 1,600 pixels. A refresh rate of 240Hz makes everything really smooth in operation. Underneath the hood, it’s powered by a powerful 14th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of DDR5 memory to have things run smoothly, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 with 8GB of memory for nice gaming performance.
The laptop comes with up to 1TB of super-fast NVMe SSD storage and comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed. It also has two 2W speakers that Nahimic has tuned, a microphone setup, a webcam that can record videos in 720p at 30fps, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, different USB ports, an HDMI port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a battery that can be charged with up to 240W power.
MSI Claw Specifications:
This MSI Claw handheld game console runs Windows 11 Home Edition for familiar PC gaming on the move. The console packs a smart-looking 7-inch IPS touch display with a Full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, making it even better because of its 120Hz refresh rate for playing games without blurring. Under the hood lies the power of Intel Core Ultra processors; the most powerful option available is the Ultra 7.
Added to this processing power is up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM for lighting performance and Intel Arc graphics for demanding visuals. On the storage front, it caters to gamers by including as much as 1TB of NVMe SSD for faster load times and the flexibility to add way more via a MicroSD card slot.
In terms of connectivity options, it is also good with Wi-Fi 7 for superfast access to the internet and Bluetooth 5.4 for convenient wireless pairing. A versatile Thunderbolt 4 port is added into the mix, while a 3.5mm headphone jack makes sure to be compatible with your favorite wired headset.
The MSI Claw goes beyond the impressive display and internals. For precise control during intense gaming sessions, it features RGB lighting on the ABXY buttons and thumbsticks, along with responsive triggers and bumpers.
Security is also a consideration, with a fingerprint scanner for added peace of mind. Powering this handheld powerhouse is a hefty 6-cell, 54Wh battery. When it’s time to recharge, the console supports fast charging up to 65W via a USB PD 3.0 adapter, ensuring you get back in the game quickly.
