90% MSI Prestige 16 EVO (A13M): 2023's Best Value 16” Thin & Light Laptop With i7-13700H
Source: Make Use Of English
While there are several excellent laptops to choose from for less than $1300, the MSI Prestige 16 Evo A13M stands out as a compelling option in the category of thin and light business laptops. It strikes a remarkable balance between performance, portability, display size, quality, and security features. With frequent discounts, it becomes even more competitive and offers an impressive package of specifications at an attractive price point. While the MSI Prestige 16 Evo A13M may not boast the most striking design compared to some other 16" options, its relatively "safe" styling lends itself well to professional and educational environments. Significantly, it doesn't compromise on essential features like port selection or cooling performance, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient thermal management.

88.1% MSI Prestige 16 B1MG laptop review: From Core i7 Xe to Core Ultra 7 Arc | Notebookcheck
We went out and bought our own 1st gen Core Ultra laptop from a retail store. Is a brick-and-mortar unit just as good as all the Core Ultra 7 press units designed for reviewers? For $1400, it better be.
93% MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo review: Intel Core Ultra great for productivity/battery, “suitable” for gaming
Source: Techaeris English
If you’re looking for a business-oriented laptop with a larger crisp screen, decent performance, and solid battery life, the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo is an excellent choice. With all-day battery life and solid Office and light photo editing performance, this laptop is also affordably priced for what you get.

80% MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo Review
Source: PC Mag English
The Prestige 16 AI Evo isn't an roaring-performance workstation or gaming rig, and a more supple keyboard and second USB-A port would be nice. But those are truly all the nits we can pick. It seems like only yesterday that a desktop replacement notebook with a screen this splendid would set you back $3,000 and be lucky to last six hours on battery power, but the MSI costs half that and runs three times as long. It earns an Editors' Choice award as a first-class value among modern desktop replacements.

80% MSI Prestige 16 review: Light on your back and wallet
Source: PC World English
The MSI Prestige 16 AI EVO B1MG is an excellent pick for anyone looking to buy a powerful 16-inch laptop with good battery life and a slim design. It also has a great keyboard, good touchpad, gorgeous display, and comes with plenty of RAM and storage. MSI’s design is dull and lacks a specific feature or flourish to help it stand out, but it nails the basics. MSI’s pricing is competitive, as well. Though certainly not cheap at $1,650, the Prestige is a bit less expensive than similarly equipped competitors like the LG Gram 16 and 17 or Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro. Despite that, the MSI is not at a disadvantage when compared against those laptops, which makes it a clear choice for budget-conscious buyers.

90% MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo review: A fruit-slaying badass laptop
Source: Laptop Mag English
The MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo is meant to be a business-focused laptop, but it ends up being the MacBook challenger PC laptop enthusiasts have longed for. Not only can it meet and, in many cases, surpass the M2-powered MacBooks, but it is also surpassing the baseline M3 MacBooks, which is a giant leap forward for Intel-powered laptops. This isn’t hyperbole; this is what the numbers show. When you add a stunning, immersive 16-inch 4K OLED display, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage for $1,399, the Prestige will save you a ton of money versus a similar-spec MacBook Air M2, which maxes out at 24GB of RAM and will cost you $2,099 with a 1TB SSD. From document pushing to image and video editing, the MSI Prestige has you covered. With 13-plus hours of battery life, you can now enjoy all-day battery life and performance while untethered from a wall outlet.

MSI Prestige 16 AI EVO hands-on: This AI laptop could be a game-changer
Source: Tom's Guide English
The MSI Prestige 16 AI EVO and upcoming MSI Prestige 16 AI Studio seem intriguing thanks to their promised on-device AI capabilities. But even if the AI functionality ends up being superfluous, we'll still get fetching-looking laptops with enough power for everyday tasks, gaming and video editing. Either way, I'm eager to review MSI's Prestige 16 series of laptops to see what they can do.
