Next-Gen Claw Launch Pack listed in Australia with Arc G3 Extreme
MSI’s upcoming Claw 8 EX AI+ handheld has now appeared in Australia. Retailer Scorptec lists two SKUs for the same Void Purple handheld, one standard model and one Launch Pack.
The standard model is listed as MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ CG3EM-010AU. It features Intel Arc G3 Extreme , 32GB LPDDR5X memory, 1TB SSD, an 8-inch FHD+ 120Hz IPS-level touchscreen, Wi-Fi 7, an 80Whr battery and Windows 11 Home.
Launch Pack includes Travel Case III
We circle back to our previous leak , mentioning the “Launch Pack”. The second listing is MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ CG3EM Launch Pack-009AU. It has the same base specs, but Scorptec says the bundle includes a Claw keychain, tempered glass screen protector, Claw grip caps and Travel Case III.
The standard version is listed at AU$2,749 , while the Launch Pack costs AU$2,849 . Both are marked as sold out across delivery and store pickup options, so these appear to be early product entries rather than available retail stock.

The standard model converts to around US$1,960 including Australian GST or US$1,782 without GST . The Launch Pack converts to around US$2,031 including GST or US$1,846 without GST .
Given the fact that we have the first listing by a known retailer, it seems obvious that the preorders will start around the Computex announcement, which is in less than two weeks from now.
