The MSI Claw Ultra 5 with a 512GB SSD will cost $1,399 AUD whilst the Ultra 7 with a 1TB SSD will cost $1,599 AUD. This is very comparable to the likes of the Lenovo Legion GO and just a tad more than the ASUS ROG Ally.

The biggest different between the MSI Claw and the ASUS ROG Ally seems to be the ergonomics which is fitting given the name of the MSI Claw. It has a lot more curvier grips which should make it easier to hold. You can see it very well in Dave2D’s first hands-on video HERE.
