MSI Prestige 14 Hands-On Laptop Review: Faster than ever and still great for content creators | Notebookcheck
MSI has packed the Prestige 14 with a powerful 10th generation Intel Core processor and a mid-range NVIDIA GPU, despite the device being just 16 mm thick. Can such a slim and light laptop keep these components cool? Our initial tests suggest so. Read on to find out more in this hands-on review.

With so many layers of nuance, MSI’s Prestige 14 is not an easy laptop to review. We basically think the main fact that sets the Prestige 14 apart from the pack is its weight and the potential performance of the components inside.

So, the question you should ask yourself is how much every ounce matters to you. If you must have 6 cores and a GTX 1650 in as light a package as possible—and you’re willing to accept the limitation of the platform—we can heartily recommend the MSI Prestige 14. If, however, you’re ticked off by giving up any performance for “just” another 8 ounces, then you might want to look elsewhere.

But while MSI has missed its target market, the Prestige 14 is still a fine general-use laptop. It does well with everyday browsing, streaming, and light gaming. If you’re looking for an ultraportable device with a finish that turns heads, it’s a decent option — but you need to be willing to take some heat.

MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-004NL

As most of our readers are already aware of MSI is normally seen as a gaming device/equipment manufacturer. Whether it is a monitor or a laptop, most of the time they are aimed at gamers. Today, what I am reviewing is on a different segment. The Prestige 14 series can be seen close to the Asus Zenbook Pro series. They are mainly aiming at those looking for extra horsepower. Here comes the but. The MSI Prestige 14 A10SC series is something different. It is thought as a mixture between gaming and business worlds. Why? Well, because of the hardware. We have a latest generation Intel ULV processor accompanied by an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU. So, you can game as well. Of course not the demanding ones, but definitely better than with MX150 or MX250 GPUs. Then there is the 4K screen. This I find a bit extra. Is it a necessity or is it a nice touch, I am not sure. One thing is for sure, MSI made this device future proof. It has Thunderbolt, USB 3.2, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. Down side? Well, the housing feels cheap. It mainly consists of plastic. Then the battery. Just 50 Wh. With such GPU and 4K screen who knows how far one can go away from power outlets. Here is the thing. I would not mind that. With 1.3 kg, it is lightweight. Not as light as laptops with 1 kg weight of course, but for me it is okay. Because, with such power in hand, there is not so much limitation in terms of possibilities for such mobile device. I can game from time to time, I can do video editing. So the performance compared to competition is definitely better. Is not there anything to criticise? Well, if I were to act neat picky, I am pretty sure I could come up with all those small details. But none of those would change the result. MSI did a good job. Combining such GPU with a ULV processor in a small case is a success. Buyers will definitely get a good device. Of course with a price. Well, let me put it that way, the Prestige 14 costs as much as a laptop with an RTX GPU. So something around 2K USD. Therefore it is a big investment. Before you make the purchase, as always, the question is what do you need? Do you need power and mobility is not a problem for you? Get a thick laptop for a cheaper price. You need mobility, but not so much power? Get some Ultrabook, maybe with even half the price. But if you are looking to get both at the same time, well your options are limited and the price tag will surely be very high. Hands-on article by Ümit Yılmaz Güneş

MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-009

One of the things that is really considered while choosing a laptop is its design. This is due to the fact that there are some really good laptops out there which has to be excluded from the list of the most favorable laptops due to its bulky design as it is not entirely user-friendly. Laptop is like a right-hand for most professionals out there and a bulky one isn’t going to be the best pal for them due to the inconvenience of handling it. Having said that, MSI has just launched its very own 14 inches slim laptop, MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-009. While the display size of 14 inches indicates that MSI has opted for the standard office laptop measurement, the slim design is making it even more approachable.

Looking at the overall design and quality, it is worthwhile to mention that the creation was done with such detailed work and focus as there are no uneven gap dimensions within the model. Opening the lid of Prestige 14 brings in an air of new experience for the user as it opens majestically with the base unit being lifted slightly at the back. This slight lifting was intentionally created to artificially create an angle that allow air circulation on the flat surfaces. However, if the laptop is being operated by placing it on the lap then, the resulting lifting might an unpleasant digging onto the skin which might create some discomfort for the user. So, it is always better to place the laptop on a flat surface while using it rather than letting it be in contact with the skin.

Prestige 14 is noted as a slim laptop as it carries one of the lightest weights among all its other similar size competitors out there. With a weight of 1300 grams, this slim laptop is definitely comfortable to be handled and convenient for personal or professional usage. The best thing about this model is that it is not only slim but it is also rather compact. As far as the keyboard is concerned, it has been built in with a rather decently planned layout by including very large keys even for a such standard 14 inches laptop. Larger keys allow better writing experience as it increases user’s comfort while working with the keyboard. Apart from that, MSI Prestige 14 also incorporates Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 6 features for wireless communication.

In terms of the versions available, this laptop comes in three different colors namely Carbon Grey with polished blue edges, Pure White and Rose Pink for users to choose from based on their personal interest and preference. Along with everything mentioned above, MSI also gives out a 14 to 24 months warranty for buyers which can be obtained while purchasing the laptop. So, even if there is any issue with the laptop within the stated time period, the user is covered.

If you're comfortable walking a little floofy dog, you'll be fine appearing in public with MSI's Prestige 14 in Rose Pink. This $1,399 ultraportable laptop laughs at boring black and subdued silver shades—it's a vivid metallic pink, a little paler than hot, that makes the lid and keyboard deck stand out (and the unit comes with a carrying case and a mouse to match). The Prestige 14 also outperforms most competitors, thanks to a six-core Intel Core i7 processor and light-gaming-worthy Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics. Its steeper price and positioning keep it from unseating the mainstream Dell Inspiron 14 7000 as our ultraportable Editors' Choice, but it's worth a look if you're considering high-end compacts like the Dell XPS 13 or Razer Blade Stealth 13.

If you want a bit more oomph and a brighter display, you might want to check out the $1,429 Lenovo Yoga C940 (15-inch). But for creative professionals looking for a powerful notebook with a lot of flair, the MSI Prestige 14 is the way to go.

100% MSI Prestige 14 Laptop Review | Model A10SC
Source: Bit-Tech English

Archive.org version
We love everything about this laptop. While you can get even more power packed in with some devices, it comes at the expense of high pricing and chassis that start resembling cheese graters due to all the air vents built into them. The Prestige offers pretty, portable, performance but what really tips it over the edge is the price. The sticker price tag of $2,099 might not be exactly low, but it’s around a third less than many premium, corporate laptops that we’ve recently reviewed cost - and we’d choose this every day. What’s more, if you’re quick, you can pick one up for just $1,799 which is an absolute steal. The cherry on top is the two-year warranty. We fully recommend it: it’s one of our favourite laptops ever.

The MSI Prestige 14 is a surprisingly powerful laptop in its class and there is a lot to love about it, but what makes me really hyped is that MSI is selling it for an attractive price tag of RM4899, this is at least RM500-RM1000 cheaper than similar spec competing laptops, which you can probably use the savings to invest in an eGPU and a last gen GPU to go with it, as you’d probably want to do so to potentially convert it into a creative workhorse.

MSI Prestige 14 Evo review (Speedy thin & light laptop with some sacrifices)
Source: Liliputing English

The MSI Prestige 14 Evo is a thin, light, and powerful laptop with all the features you’d expect from a modern PC (like multiple biometric security options) and some things you might not (like a matte display and support for adjusting processor thermals and performance without entering the BIOS). But it also delivers underwhelming battery life, has quiet speakers, and has an attractive, understated design that also happens to include a lid that collected fingerprints. The port selection is limited, but the inclusion of two Thunderbolt 4 ports almost makes up for that, since you can easily connect a Thunderbolt or USB-C docking station or dongle to connect external devices including displays to graphics cards. As a mobile computing enthusiast, I’d find it hard to justify spending $1,149 on a laptop that doesn’t provide all-day battery life on the go.

80% MSI Prestige 14 Evo review: A refreshing change of pace
Source: It Pro English

Building a capable business laptop is surprisingly difficult, but with the Prestige 14 Evo, MSI shows how it should be done, blending powerful internals with an eye-catching design that stops just short of overdoing it. On top of that, it's got a handful of genuinely useful features and a screen that can go toe-to-toe with more expensive and established rivals. It's not without niggles, however. The keyboard layout takes some getting used to, and the cacophonous fans will take a lot of getting used to, but these are minor gripes. They're especially easy to overlook when you consider the sub-£1,000 pricetag. It's not bargain-basement territory, but it's great value for a machine that that hits all the right notes as a productivity powerhouse.

You’ll get nearly 11 hours of battery life, competition-beating video conversion, a durable chassis and a slim, lightweight laptop. There’s also a useful suite of pre-installed software for video and photo editing.

The one bad thing about this laptop would be the price tag, which isn't one that casual consumers would spend. For RM5199, you can get yourself a good gaming laptop that allows you to play games on higher settings. But then again, not everyone is a gamer. It's also slightly more affordable than the Prestige 14's RM5399 price tag, so the choice is yours.

The Evo is available in 3 colors, has a full HD matte non-touch display, a fingerprint scanner and Windows Hello IR camera. It has USB-A port and microSD card slot unlike some competitors. It’s priced a few hundred dollars less than the premium Ultrabook competition like the Dell XPS 13, Razer Book and 13” M1 MacBook Pro.

There will always be some sacrifices when cramming powerful hardware into ultraportable laptops, but overall MSI has done well, and the package you get is fairly balanced while offering value for money. If you prioritise portability, you should definitely check out this laptop.

MSI Prestige 14 Evo Review: Portability, But at What Cost?
Source: NDTV Gadgets English

MSI Prestige 14 (2021)
Source: PC Mag English

What holds the Prestige 14 back from a stronger recommendation is a handful of design demerits. The flex in the aluminum lid and bottom panel is concerning, the display could be brighter, and the flimsy touchpad can't match the excellence of the keyboard. The biggest drawback, however, is the frequent fan noise. It's not surprising that the cooling fan kicks in during intensive graphical tasks, but it also made itself heard when opening a dozen tabs in Chrome or having more than a few apps running at once. The fan usually cycles off after a minute or two, but it's still annoying. Ultraportable shoppers seeking better fit and finish may want to spend a bit more for a premium machine like the Dell XPS 13 or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

MSI Prestige 14 EVO Review: Great Performance And Value
Source: Hot Hardware English

If there's any nit to pick with this MSI laptop it's thermal performance. We can't help but wonder if some extra speed is locked away behind a thermal system that struggles to keep its 28 W CPU under target temperatures. Thankfully, this is forgivable because of its premium, light-weight design and reasonably well-behaved acoustics. Users who want the best top-end performance in this weight class for a very attractive price point would be well-served to look into the Intel Tiger Lake-powered MSI Prestige 14 EVO.

Review – MSI Prestige 14 Evo A11M: Premium ultrabook at a premium price
Source: NLT English

Overall, I actually like the MSI Prestige Evo 14 is actually a great laptop. It performs really well, has an overall decent battery life overall, a good screen, a fantastic keyboard, and most importantly – high-speed ports. There are a few shortcomings here and there but to me, they’re not a huge deal. Though I would like to see a touch-screen option for the Prestige series. That’ll be a fantastic alternative to the ultrawide trackpad and its palm rejection.

The MSI Prestige 14 Evo Review: Testing The Waters Of Tiger Lake
Source: AnandTech English

Archive.org version
But the one area where MSI has done very well is on price. As of this writing, the Prestige 14 Evo starts at just $1149 USD, and that includes the Core i7-1185G7, 16 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. Due to Intel now segmenting its CPU stack with differing GPU sizes, which followed what AMD has done with Vega, the starting price is a very compelling package. You can pick a couple of colors, and a couple of drive sizes, but unlike most of the competition, the base model is pretty much fully decked out. Despite a design that can’t quite match some of the others in the market, MSI’s Prestige 14 Evo does pack a punch for a reasonable price.

Intel Core i7-1195G7 Performance: MSI’s Prestige 14 EVO Flies
Source: Hot Hardware English

We really liked the MSI Prestige 14 EVO when we first took a look at the system earlier this year. It has an attractive, clean design, good battery life, a mid-sized form factor that would likely appeal to current users of both 13.3" to 15" machines, and its powered by a leading-edge platform which requires minimal compromise for the vast majority of consumers. Refreshing the MSI Prestige EVO with the Core i7-1195G7 takes what was already a nice machine, and gives the overall experience a bit of a boost. While the Core i7-1195G7 isn't a massive upgrade in terms of multi-threaded or graphics performance versus its predecessor, the Core i7-1185G7, its markedly higher clock speed with single or lightly-threaded workloads -- when the cooling system in this sub-3lb, .6" thick machine isn't being thoroughly stressed -- results in some nice performance boosts where it matters for most everyday computing workloads.

MSI Prestige 14 2022 Review Philippines: For Work and Play
Source: Unbox English

The Prestige 14 2022 is a decent business laptop from MSI that can be used for both work and play, and its design makes it one of the sleeker offerings the brand has to offer. However, the high power consumption of the Prestige 14 2022’s processor, along with a rather undersized battery, leads to a short battery life.

80% MSI Prestige 14" (2022) laptop review
Source: Techradar English

The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode. Visually, we’re a big fan, as we love matte dark greys and minimalist designs. The barely-there logo and dark accents were also aspects that we appreciated. A considerable deficit for this laptop is the lack of battery life, which is not as long as might be expected - however, the MSI Prestige 14” is worth considering if you are looking for a powerhouse that mostly lives at a desk and is not always on the go.

The MSI Prestige 14 offers strong productivity performance and can tackle some creative tasks as well. It doesn’t last long on a charge, though and it has a few old-school design elements. It has the basics covered, even if it’s far from the most cutting-edge laptop.

60% MSI Prestige 14 Evo A12 review: An underwhelming laptop with a few saving graces
Source: Laptop Mag English

If you can live without a vivid, bright display and crisp speakers, the MSI Prestige 14 Evo should be more than satisfactory in workplace performance. It isn’t the best in its class, but it’s still swift and packs a powerful punch, making it a great pick for running processor-intensive programs, transcoding videos, and downloading huge files. The Prestige 14 Evo also generally does a good job managing air circulation, thanks to its ability to prop itself up, although heat tips slightly above our comfort threshold under intensive use. The laptop also doesn’t last as long on a charge as we would’ve liked, but it should get you through most of a work day. But if you need clear, loud built-in speakers and a bright display, you’ll want to look elsewhere. The Prestige 14 Evo is serviceable for everyday use, but there’s nothing particularly special or standout about this laptop.

80% MSI Prestige 14 Evo A12M review: cut-price contender
Source: Stuff TV English

The MSI Prestige 14 Evo is built and sold as a business laptop, but looking at this machine in that frame of mind does it a bit of a disservice. Its rapid-fire CPU and great keyboard are ideal for work, of course, but they motor through most other tasks – and the Evo delivers solid battery life, connectivity and dimensions inside a good-looking design. Of course, spending a bit more will get you a sturdier and better-looking Dell or Apple notebook with a better screen. You can also save cash on the standard Prestige 14 and sacrifice CPU power for a discrete graphics core. Despite its imperfections, though, there’s plenty to like about the MSI Prestige 14 Evo. It’s fast, slim, light and affordable, so it gets the job done at work and beyond.

80% MSI Prestige 14 A12UC 2022 review: A handsome and powerful compact business laptop
Source: It Pro English

The good parts of the Prestige 14 are excellent. The chipset imbues it with an impressive level of performance while the design, build quality and keyboard are absolutely top-notch. The screen is good too; granted it’s a rather traditional Full HD non-touch affair, but technically it’s better than the norm in this category of laptops and at this price point. The speaker system could be better though, as could the webcam. Both of these drawbacks wouldn’t take much - in terms of effort or money - to fix. The real drawback is the battery life. For a machine designed for on-the-go productivity, six and a half hours is a good distance shy of ideal and isn’t really good enough. Users who don’t stray far from a power outlet will be more than happy with the Prestige 14 - the more nomadic worker, perhaps less so.

75% MSI Prestige 14 (2022): Thin & Light Business Laptop With Powerful RTX 3050
Source: Make Use Of English

The MSI Prestige 14 stands out for its ultrabook form factor without sacrificing discrete graphics performance. Input-output options are reasonable, but a full-size HDMI, upgrading to a full-size SD card reader, and maybe adding a second full-size USB-A, would go a long way to making the Prestige 14 an even more business/content creator-focused device. While many laptops suffer from a significant performance drop when unplugged, the Prestige 14 doesn't slow down. This isn't the most exciting laptop to use or look at, but for its size, it's hard to compete with.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the GTX 1650 but with reduced clock speeds and power consumption. Uses the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) but without Raytracing or Tensor cores.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops based on the desktop GTX 1650 and therefore the Turing architecture (TU117 chip in 12nm FFN) without raytracing and Tensor cores. Available with 896 and 1024 shaders.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops that uses a Turing TU117 chip without raytracing and Tensor cores. Runs at reduced clock speeds compared to a laptop GTX 1650 Ti to achieve a much lower power consumption (35 versus 50 - 80 Watt).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU: Mid-range gaming laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA107 chip. Offers 2048 shaders and is offered in different TGP (power consumption) variants from 35 to 80 Watt with different clock speeds and therefore performance. Older variant with 4GB VRAM.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce MX350: Successor of the MX250 and most likely a renamed GeForce GTX 1050 based on the Pascal GP107 chip with 640 shaders and a 64 Bit memory bus for GDDR5.

NVIDIA GeForce MX330: Successor of the MX230 and most likely a renamed GeForce MX250/MX150 based on the Pascal GP108 chip with 384 shaders and a 64 Bit memory bus for GDDR5.

NVIDIA GeForce MX250: Successor of the MX150 and still based on the same Pascal GP108 chip (similar to the desktop GT 1030) but with higher clock speeds. Available in two versions, a normal 25 Watt version and a low power version with 10 Watt TDP and reduced performance. The 25 Watt version e.g. offers a 21% higher boost clock than the old MX150 leading to a 5% performance gain.

Intel Iris Xe G7 96EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G4 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 96 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
