Reviews for the MSI Prestige 14 Evo A12M-089
Source: Stuff TV
The MSI Prestige 14 Evo is built and sold as a business laptop, but looking at this machine in that frame of mind does it a bit of a disservice. Its rapid-fire CPU and great keyboard are ideal for work, of course, but they motor through most other tasks – and the Evo delivers solid battery life, connectivity and dimensions inside a good-looking design. Of course, spending a bit more will get you a sturdier and better-looking Dell or Apple notebook with a better screen. You can also save cash on the standard Prestige 14 and sacrifice CPU power for a discrete graphics core. Despite its imperfections, though, there’s plenty to like about the MSI Prestige 14 Evo. It’s fast, slim, light and affordable, so it gets the job done at work and beyond.

Much more than a dull business laptop, the MSI Prestige 14 Evo is a slick and light PC with a solid keyboard and unusually good control over the powerful Intel Core i7-1280P CPU. It lets you run the processor almost unnervingly hard, offering great flexibility for more advanced PC users.

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.
