MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo A1MG review – Light and Powerful On-the-Go Companion
Source: Laptop Media English
The Prestige 13 AI Evo A1MG is a super compact device that offers plenty of power on the go. The gadget that we bought is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H which is the base CPU option for this MSI series. When directly compared to the MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo A2VM with a Core Ultra 7 258V (which is also the default processor option for this laptop model), the AI+ Evo A2VM sibling has the upper hand in both CPU and iGPU performance but it costs more. So, the choice is in your hands, if you don’t want to spend too much money on a new laptop, but still need a light and fast device, the Prestige 13 AI Evo A1MG is the right choice. On the other hand, the A2VM brings more power to the table alongside beefy NPU, better Web camera, and faster LPDDR5x memory.

Intel Arc 7-Core: Integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 7 of the 8 Xe cores (112 Xe Vector Engines) and 7 ray tracing units.

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

Ultra 5 125H: A mid-range Meteor Lake family chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra laptop processor has come to replace 13th generation Core chips; it has 14 cores (4 + 8 + 2) and 18 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 4, run at up to 4.5 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.6 GHz. The 7-core Arc GPU, just out of the oven, serves as the integrated graphics adapter (this runs at up to 2.20 GHz) and there is a bevy of other brand-new technologies on offer as well such as the integrated AI Boost NPU with two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. The chip's Intel-recommended Base power consumption is 28 W while its maximum Turbo power consumption is supposed to be within 115 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

84%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
