Two upward-facing Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports solve the original Claw's single-port limitation — one drives an eGPU while the other handles power and peripherals, or both supply simultaneous 4K display output. Maximum charging is 65W per port (45W during active gaming load). Intel's Lunar Lake platform is paired with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. No USB-A ports are on the handheld itself — a USB-C dock is the intended peripheral hub. This is the most TB4-capable gaming handheld in its class.
MSI gaming handheld Gen 2 with dual Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports (40 Gbps each, DP, 65W PD) and Intel Lunar Lake.
