Intel Arrow Lake-H CPU analysis: Core Ultra 200H makes Lunar Lake almost redundant | Notebookcheck
Intel is introducing its new Arrow Lake-H series mobile processors (Core Ultra 200H), covering a power range of 28 to 115 watts. We examine two implementations of the high-end Core Ultra 9 285H. Are the improvements enough to compete with AMD’s Zen 5 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite?

Intel Arc Graphics 140T analysis – Arrow Lake-H iGPU gains frame generation support | Notebookcheck
Intel is equipping the new Arrow Lake-H mobile processors with the Arc Graphics 140T and 130T, which are enhanced versions of the Intel Arc Graphics from the Meteor Lake generation. However, the 140T has little in common with the Arc Graphics 140V found in Lunar Lake chips.

Intel Arrow Lake MSI Prestige 16 AI EVO review: The chip space is heating up
Source: Techaeris
Overall, Intel Arrow Lake is the main reason to buy this laptop. Don’t get me wrong, the rest of the laptop has plenty of great points and a few weak points. But overall, Intel Arrow Lake adds a ton of value to the MSI Prestige 16 AI EVO. So I am awarding the Intel Arrow Lake processor my Top Pick Award of 2025 because it makes a mid-laptop way better than it was without it.

Intel Arrow Lake-H Laptop CPU Review: Core Ultra 9 285H Scores Big
Source: Hot Hardware
Overall, we came away impressed by Arrow Lake-H. The platform offers best-in-class general compute performance, with single-threaded speed second only to Apple's MacBook, where cross-platform benchmarks afforded comparison. In terms of graphics performance, once again Arrow Lake-H looks great competitively, offering what seems to be one of the strongest integrated graphics engines on the market currently for x86 laptops with its integrated Arc 140T GPU tile. Beyond performance, Arrow Lake H's power efficiency is solid. The only real chink in Arrow Lake H's armor may be its meager 13 TOPS NPU, which will come up short competitively, at least in applications that specifically target the NPU.

MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HM) hands-on: Does this Intel Arrow Lake business laptop hit the target?
Source: Laptop Mag
The Prestige 16 AI Evo (B1MG) in 2023 was an immediate favorite of the Laptop Mag staff. The Arrow Lake-H processor update adds additional performance, gaming potential, and battery life value to an already great package. Ultimately the 2025 version of the Prestige 16 AI Evo (B2HM) is a solid hardware refresh. Unfortunately, it still keeps some of the design flaws of the previous model, as it is built on the same chassis, with the same keyboard, and off-center touchpad. As long as MSI keeps a similar pricing scheme, the Prestige 16 (B2HM) will once again be an incredible value.

MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo (2025) review
Source: Tom's Guide
I’ve grown quite fond of our MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo review unit during my time with it, and I can easily recommend it to anyone with a couple thousand to spend on a new 16-inch Windows 11 ultraportable. It’s a great device for getting work done on the go thanks to its big screen, light weight and comfy keyboard. While I wish it had an OLED screen option with a little less reflectivity, I can’t quibble with the display quality, as our display testing reveals it averages over 400 nits of brightness and spans both sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts. Personally, I think I’d rather spend that amount of money on a laptop with a discrete GPU so I could enjoy a bit of gaming after my work is done.
