And there&#8217;s been no hint that it will get better any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>Talking handhelds specifically, I was pretty disheartened by the prices that they started climbing, even before there was much of a whiff of memory shortages. I got my hands on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/asus-rog-xbox-ally-x-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Asus ROG Xbox Ally X<\/a> in August <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/i-just-got-my-hands-on-the-rog-xbox-ally-and-can-confirm-the-sheer-comfort-is-worth-that-peculiar-grip-design\/\" target=\"_blank\">last year at Gamescom<\/a> and still held some slivers of hope about the handheld market. But that console ended up costing $1,000, almost $200 more than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/lenovo-legion-go-s-steamos-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lenovo Legion Go S,<\/a> which I also thought was priced too high even at launch, despite how much I love it.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"gallery\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/new-intel-based-handheld-gaming-pcs-sound-great-but-all-signs-point-towards-yet-more-prohibitively-expensive-price-tags.jpg\" alt=\"A presentation slide for the launch\/announcement of the Intel Arc G3 series of processors for handheld gaming PCs\" \/><figcaption><small role=\"credit\">Intel<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/new-intel-based-handheld-gaming-pcs-sound-great-but-all-signs-point-towards-yet-more-prohibitively-expensive-price-tags-1.jpg\" alt=\"A presentation slide for the launch\/announcement of the Intel Arc G3 series of processors for handheld gaming PCs\" \/><figcaption><small role=\"credit\">Intel<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/new-intel-based-handheld-gaming-pcs-sound-great-but-all-signs-point-towards-yet-more-prohibitively-expensive-price-tags-2.jpg\" alt=\"A presentation slide for the launch\/announcement of the Intel Arc G3 series of processors for handheld gaming PCs\" \/><figcaption><small role=\"credit\">Intel<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Those are both AMD handhelds, though. The main one you look towards if you want intel is the MSI Claw\u2014specifically, for the latest Intel version, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/handheld-gaming-pcs\/msi-claw-8-ai-a2vm-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Claw 8 AI+ A2VM<\/a>. That&#8217;s a high-end handheld and launched at $900 for the 1 TB, 32 GB version.

We&#8217;ve already <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/msi-claw-8-ex-ai-gaming-handheld-with-intel-arc-g3-extreme-listed-online-1599-euros\/\" target=\"_blank\">seen retailer listings<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/videocardz.com\/newz\/msi-claw-8-ex-ai-with-arc-g3-extreme-appears-in-australia-price-starts-at-1780-usd\" target=\"_blank\">multiple occasions<\/a> (in Australia and EU markets) for G-series MSI Claw handhelds that suggest a very high initial price tag, translating to around $1,800 USD or more. <\/p>\n<p>And let me repeat: those are <em>initial <\/em>prices. Bearing in mind the Lunar Lake Claw&#8217;s price hikes over time, and the fact that now even the Steam Deck OLED has shot up, and then throw in the fact that tech CEOs are predicting companies will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/memory\/many-consumer-electronics-manufacturers-will-go-bankrupt-or-exit-product-lines-by-the-end-of-2026-due-to-the-ai-memory-crisis-phison-ceo-reportedly-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">literally have to go bankrupt<\/a> because of memory shortages&#8230; well, let&#8217;s just say I&#8217;m not holding my breath that handhelds with these upcoming Intel chips will actually end up in many consumers&#8217; hands.
