MSI Prestige 13 packs Intel Panther Lake and OLED display into 1 kg laptop; MSI also showcases Prestige 14 and 16
The first laptops with Intel Panther Lake chips are expected to be announced at CES in January. YouTuber ETA Prime has now had the opportunity to preview the next-generation MSI Prestige series. While MSI hasn't yet confirmed the final specifications, the video reveals some of the most interesting new features, starting with the design.
While the current MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo has a very simple, angular design, the new models look almost futuristic in comparison, as MSI has rounded off the case considerably and added a new recess in the metal housing at the front, possibly for Wi-Fi antennas. The large trackpad and illuminated keyboard remain unchanged.
The chassis is said to be made from a magnesium-aluminum alloy, making it relatively light. According to MSI, the new Prestige 13 weighs less than one kilogram, the Prestige 14 is expected to weigh around 1.4 kilograms, and the Prestige 16 around 1.6 kilograms. All three models are 13.9 millimeters thick. MSI is installing an OLED touchscreen that also supports a stylus, which is a rarity on the notebook market.
The OLED panel is expected to reach high frame rates and brightness values, but MSI has not yet confirmed any further details. Panther Lake should not only give the laptops significantly better GPU performance, but also a battery life of up to 24 hours, although the actual runtime will, as usual, depend primarily on usage and screen brightness settings. More information on the next-generation MSI Prestige series is expected at CES in January.
