Reviews for the MSI Prestige 16 AI Studio B1VFG, Ultra 7 155H
Source: It Pro
The Prestige 16 comes in two versions, one with the Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and one with the RTX 4060. Looking around we found both models available with big discounts from MSI's RRP with the RTX 4050 model available for £999 (£833 ex VAT) and the RTX 4060 version on sale for £1,199 (£999 ex VAT). At those prices the Prestige 16 AI Studio is much cheaper than the likes of the MacBook Pro 16 which starts at £2,599 (£2,165 ex VAT), the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 at £2,052 inc VAT (£1,710 ex VAT) or the equivalent Dell XPS 16 at £2,199 (£1,832 ex VAT). It's even £200 cheaper than the excellent Asus Vivobook Pro 15 which can be picked up for £1,399 (£1,165) with an RTX 4060 GPU.

The MSI Prestige 16 AI is a good-looking laptop that excels when it comes to productivity. The Intel Core Ultra CPU includes an NPU, which is specifically designed to process huge amounts of data in parallel. It delivers great performance, as does the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU. This is a powerful combo. The lightweight design makes it incredibly portable, something that is impressive considering the 16-inch display. This laptop is designed for productivity and it excels in that across multiple disciplines, including graphic design and video editing.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
