Looking at some popular retail sites you can pick up the Core Ultra 5 model of the Prestige 14 AI EV for £999 inc VAT including a £100 discount and the Core Ultra 7 model for £1,049 inc VAT including a £250 discount. At present the Core Ultra 9 models seem only to be available in the USA. Given those prices you have to get seriously picky to criticize the new Prestige Evo 14 AI because it has all the basics very well covered. The bright 144Hz display is more than you have any right to expect at this price as is the standard 1TB SSD and cutting-edge wireless card while the efficient but potent CPU and high-capacity battery means you won't be forever hunting for a power point.

The strength of the MSI Prestige 14 EVO C1M is that it gives you good performance and a strong set of features for less money than most rivals. Some, like the Dell XPS 14 or Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360, can offer you more style, better specs or a superior OLED or AMOLED screen, but they’ll cost you a good £500 more. Only a few, like the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED, can promise similar specs and EVO certification at a similar price. Put it all together, and there’s a lot here for business buyers, particularly with the forward-looking connectivity, long battery life and decent ergonomics. It might not be the best laptop for every buyer, but in its own understated way it’s just right for the job.

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

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
