60% MSI Prestige 16 Studio review: creator laptop looks nice, lacks grunt
Source: Creative Bloq
The MSI Prestige Studio 16 looks good from the outside. It has the all-metal chassis that we yearn to sit behind in coffee shops, some fast internal storage and ports to transfer data, plus a Mini-LED screen that produces good colour and brightness. The benchmark tests paint a different picture, however, and with a battery that lasts seven hours it’s a tricky machine to recommend for creative work on the move, as its competitors are pulling away. The MSI Prestige 16 Studio certainly looks the part, with its Mini-LED screen, aluminium casing and handsome looks, but it suffers in benchmark tests, and doesn’t have advanced features like Thunderbolt that users of fast connectivity will be looking for.

78% MSI Prestige 16 Studio review: A mini-LED laptop for less
Source: PC World
The MSI Prestige 16 Studio is a great pick for content creators looking for a low-cost, large-screen laptop. Its miniLED panel is impressively bright for creating and editing HDR content, and the 16-inch 16:10 size offers a large canvas on which to work. You’ll need to accept a less-than-stellar build quality, however, and be okay with slower data transfers with the lack of Thunderbolt 4 support. And you’ll want to keep a pair of headphones handy because A. the speakers are pretty terrible and B. the laptop gets loud under load.

MSI Prestige 16 Studio Review
Source: Mobile Tech Review
MSI’s thin and light creator laptop for 2023 gets a 16” mini LED QHD+ display, an Intel Core i7-13700H with EVO certification and NVIDIA RTX 4050 / 4060 graphics. The MSI Prestige 16 Studio A13V is relatively reasonably priced for a content creation laptop, running $1,800 - $2,000. It has an ample selection of ports, a number pad on the keyboard, and both Windows Hello IR camera and a fingerprint reader.

40% MSI’s attempt at a MacBook Pro killer is a disaster. What went wrong?
Source: Digital Trends
Between the inconsistent performance, instability, and unnerving display whine, the Prestige 16 Studio is a laptop to avoid. Toss in the underwhelming performance of its mini-LED display, and the machine is one of the most disappointing I’ve reviewed in quite some time. If MSI can resolve these issues, then at its $2,100 price, the Prestige 16 Plus could be a contender. But as it is, it’s far too flawed.

First Impressions: MSI Prestige 16 (2023)
Source: Trusted Reviews
The MSI Prestige 16 (2023) is one of the most impressive laptops at Computex 2023, mostly because of that outstanding 24-hour battery life claim despite focusing on high-end creativity. No laptop with an RTX 4060 GPU can currently last that long on a single charge, so this would be a huge innovative leap. And with MSI implying this laptop could well be using a never-before-seen Intel Core processor, this could well be an exciting first glimpse of the next generation of Windows laptops. Is that enough for MSI to finally topple the MacBook Pro? I’m sceptical, but it’s possibly the best Windows laptop challenger yet.

80% MSI Prestige 16 AI Studio review: A capable creative laptop for tighter IT budgets
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.

90% MSI Prestige 16 AI review: a productivity laptop that performs for creatives
Source: Creative Bloq
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.

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
