The Glacier Blue Edition is MSI's second Claw 8 AI+ refresh so far.
A retailer has revealed pricing for MSI's long-awaited Claw 8 AI+ refresh. Unfortunately, the new Glacier Blue Edition release will be more expensive than existing Claw 8 AI+ handhelds.

It has been a while since MSI teased the Glacier Blue Edition of the Claw 8 AI+. Presented during CES 2026 in January, the Glacier Blue Edition was originally said to be available with 2 TB of storage. Additionally, MSI suggested that the device would adopt an M.2 2280 slot that it managed to include inside the Claw A8 (curr. $1,299 on Amazon).

Seemingly, none of these changes have come to fruition for retail units. For the time being, MSI is remaining quiet about availability and pricing. Nonetheless, Ollo Store appears to have answered the latter question with an early retail listing.

As the screenshot below shows, Ollo Store has priced the Glacier Blue Edition at €1,299 (~$1,520) with the same Core Ultra 7 258V processor, 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage as the Sandstorm variant we reviewed last year. For context, the latter currently retails for €1,049 (~$1,229) in Italy. Unfortunately, MSI has not suggested that it will sell these Glacier Blue side plates separately. More details about the Glacier Blue Edition can be found on MSI's global website. The company stresses that Glacier Blue pricing has not been finalised yet.
