90% MSI Prestige 13 Evo review: MSI goes for the premium ultrabook crown
Source: Techradar
A sterling effort from MSI in the premium ultrabook space, the Prestige 13 Evo is a delightful little laptop that should feel right at home on the desk or in the bag of any professional. Its lightweight design, strong Intel Core processor, and range of security features make it a highly practical device, but the high entry price might be a barrier for some users.

80% MSI Prestige 13 Evo (2023) Review
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). Alternatively, you can check out our best laptop and best ultrabook lists for even more options.

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.

MSI Prestige 13 EVO (2023) Review
Source: USA Today
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.

70% MSI Prestige 13 Evo Review

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.

Forget MacBook Air: This Windows alternative is just as lightweight and full of features
Source: Zdnet.com
All that said, I actually recommend the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo laptop, particularly for creative professionals looking for a lightweight, decently-priced device to carry around to and from work. Even if you're not creatively minded, this is still a great machine to have. For the smaller, 13-inch size that I tested, you can buy the Intel Core Ultra i5 version of the Prestige 13 laptop from Newegg for $1,049. If you want the big brother model, you can buy the Intel Core Ultra i7 rendition of the Prestige 13 off Best Buy for $1,299. It also comes equipped with 32GB of RAM and a full terabyte of storage, which at that price, is well worth it.
