The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ was technically released on June 23, with pre-orders available in the United States as early as June 15. In any case, that’s all in the past, and UK customers can now get their hands on the Intel Arc G3 Extreme-powered device at one popular retailer – Scan.\nIt’s also on Amazon, but from an unofficial brand. In a PR email, MSI tells us “more retailers expected to open pre-orders soon” – so we’re keeping an eye on alternative stores. Another great thing about the UK launch is that MSI is actually selling its ‘Launch Pack’ in the region. This includes the handheld itself, alongside accessories such as a travel case, screen protector, and more.\nRetailerModel (all 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD)PriceScanMSI Claw 8 EX AI+ CG3EM-018UK £1,399.99ScanMSI Claw 8 EX AI+ CG3EM-017UK Launch Pack£1,449.98AmazonMSI Claw 8 EX AI+£1,800.99CurrysMSI Claw 8 EX AI+TBAPrices correct at the time of writing\n\nSign up for our free, weekly newsletter!\n\nSubscribe\n\nBy signing up, you acknowledge our privacy policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Leave this field empty if you’re human: \n\nMSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is now available in the United Kingdom\n\n[25/06/2026] (London, United Kingdom) – Following its debut at COMPUTEX 2026, MSI’s highly anticipated Claw 8 EX AI+ is now available to pre-order in the UK.
