Reviews for the MSI Prestige 16 AI+ C3MG
Source: It Pro
For £1,250, the new MSI Prestige 16 AI is nigh on impossible to criticise. The screen and speaker system are definitely a step forward from the 2025 model, and though you no longer get a MicroSD slot, there's an extra USB-A port to make up for it. The keyboard and touchpad are both top-notch, and the battery life is excellent. The only area where the new Prestige lacks is in graphics performance when compared to the Radeon 880M-equipped 2025 model and the Arc B390-equipped Panther Lake competition. But of course, the new MSI is quite a bit cheaper than all those alternatives. Hopefully, MSI will release the Intel Ultra X9 388H / Arc B390 model in the UK to satisfy those who want to run demanding graphics jobs or play a little surreptitious Cyberpunk 2077 at lunchtime, but for everyone else, this model will do very nicely indeed.
