Reviews for the MSI Prestige 13 Evo A13M
Source: Trusted Reviews

The MSI Prestige 13 Evo (2023) is one of the most exciting productivity laptops so far this year, but that might be because it shows what MSI is capable of rather than staking its claim as one of the best laptops with a thin-and-light design. If MSI could stick an OLED in this machine and fix the webcam woes, there is nothing standing in its way. It has some of the best productivity performance among its rivals and dodges fan noises better than most. Battery life is impressive too. However, with a starting price in line with higher quality competition, at $1499/£1499, it falls short of being one of the best around. Those looking for a similar lightweight experience without the frustrating flaws on show here should opt for the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro, Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2022) and MacBook Air M2 (2022).

The MSI Prestige 13 Evo A13M offers a lot for the price, especially when it comes to the performance and battery life, but MSI couldn’t stay on top of everything. The Prestige 13 falters when it comes to sporting a colorful panel, well-rounded speakers, and a competitive SSD. If you’re looking for any of the aforementioned features, we recommend picking up the Acer Swift 14, which impressed the hell out of us. Otherwise, if you want to stick to the lighter and smaller 13-inch form factor, the MSI Prestige 13 Evo is a good choice.

The MSI Prestige 13 EVO is by no means a bad laptop—in fact, its phenomenal trackpad, well-built body, and snappy processor made it a joy to use. Also, this thing weighs about two pounds, making it an excellent device for those who desperately need to get the smallest and lightest gear possible. It’s not at the top of its class, but it’s still a great experience and worth considering if you find it on sale. Its $1,500 price tag is mainly what bumps this laptop from a solid recommendation down to a maybe. Its chassis has the build quality to back up the price, but the 1080p display doesn’t cut it when most laptops over $1,000 have 2K or 4K displays (even OLED). The short battery life also hurts it, considering how much MSI marketed this laptop for travel and portability.

The MSI Prestige 13 Evo is a well-configured, well-performing, and well-weighted ultraportable that's not overpriced at $1,499, but it's not outstanding either. Business execs will be tempted by Lenovo's superlative ThinkPad X1 Carbon, while Apple iPhone and Apple Watch devotees will likely consider a MacBook first. As for consumers, you won't be able to help but eye two Editors' Choice winners from HP with more dazzling OLED displays. First, you have the HP Pavilion Plus 14, priced a couple of hundred bucks below the MSI, and then you'll see the HP Spectre x360 13.5, a convertible that costs a few hundred more but is worth it. The Prestige's lower screen resolution and awkward keyboard keep it from the top rank.

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.

77.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
