I switched to the MSI Prestige 13 AI+ for two weeks — I’m shocked at how much I could do on something this small and light

Honestly, I’m feeling a little sorry for the U.S. right now, because you don’t get to have this beast of an ultrabook. The build quality is great, the ergonomics are solid, and the performance and battery life are pretty damn good. Yes, the price-to-performance will be off-kilter to some of you, and if you’re in that camp, this laptop isn’t for you. Chances are, you don’t mind a little extra size and weight to get what you need. But if form is just as important to you as function, Intel focusing on the fundamentals to squeeze every last drop out of this chip, and MSI’s focus on the fundamentals makes this a great laptop.
