85% MSI Prestige 13 AI Plus Evo laptop review: Great graphics performance for under 1 kg | Notebookcheck
MSI has refreshed its lightest 13-inch laptop with Lunar Lake processors to replace the older Meteor Lake options. The changes have boosted both battery life and graphics potential without increasing fan noise or weight.

One of the best laptops for work travel I've tested isn't a MacBook Air or Lenovo ThinkPad
Source: Zdnet.com English
Prices for the MSI Prestige 13 AI Plus Evo start at $1,399 right now while it's on sale on Amazon. As I said earlier, it is a little expensive but well worth the investment. The top-notch Intel Core Ultra 7-258V processor, OLED display, and lightweight design work together with a lightweight form factor to make this laptop one of my favorites of the year.

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.

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.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.
