MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Hands-On: Pinnacle of Speed
Source: Unbox English
The Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport is an excellent showcase of MSI’s partnership with the legendary motorsport team, and the branding is spot on with what the gaming laptop has to offer. Being targeted towards a “luxury” audience, the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG is not going to be cheap: in the US, it will be priced at €3,299, or around Php 198k when converted. While it is going to be a pricey laptop, the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG does come bundled with accessories that include Mercedes-AMG-branded mouse, mouse pad, USB drive, and a carrying case. There’s no word yet if Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG will be made available in the Philippines, but expect MSI to bring only a limited number of units should they do so.

MSI Stealth 16 Studio (A13V) review – it has the power and it has the bling
Source: Laptop Media English
This is a fantastic product meant for designers, gamers, and people with good taste. Its Magnesium-Aluminum body is thin and light – 20mm and 1.99 kg, while the design doesn’t really tell the true story about its performance capability. We can’t really say that the build quality is perfect since there are some squeaks coming from the base when we try to twist it. To be fair, these noises are present only in unnatural use, so you shouldn’t be worried. MSI Stealth 16 Studio (A13V)’s IPS panel has a WQXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, high maximum brightness, and a good contrast ratio. This display supports HDR and doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. In addition, the panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and thanks to our Gaming and Web design profile, it achieves one of the most accurate colors we’ve seen.

90% MSI Stealth 16 Studio: Beautiful 16" Beast Laptop With an RTX4070
Source: Make Use Of English
The Stealth 16 Studio is a beautiful, powerful, and portable machine that looks to impress. Its latest 13th Gen Intel processors, NVIDIA RTX graphics, and MUX switch feature provide excellent performance for creators and gamers. The laptop's sleek and slim design is also paired with an excellent selection of full-size ports, a great display, and impressive benchmarks. However, its premium features and design also come with a high price tag, making it a more expensive option than MSI's more budget-friendly Raider or Crosshair lineups. Nonetheless, for those willing to invest in a premium, portable and high-performance laptop, the MSI Stealth 16 Studio (A13Vx) is an excellent choice that delivers on both power and design.

MSI Prestige 16 2023 Hands-On: Sleek Content Creator Laptop
Source: Unbox English
The complete makeover on the 2023 MSI Prestige 16 makes it an interesting large-screened ultrabook for content creators: aside from a cable management-friendly port layout, its more durable body and powerful internals show that MSI wants to market the 2023 Prestige 16 as a premium offering. The biggest question is how much MSI will price the 2023 Prestige 16 when it lands in the Philippines. The Prestige series is sold in the Philippines, so it’s simply a matter of time before MSI will make the Prestige 16 2023 available on our shores locally.

70% MSI Stealth 16 Studio Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The MSI Stealth 16 Studio (2023) is a mix of highs and lows; the QHD display is fantastically immersive, providing me with clear and crisp visuals while streaming media content and playing games. The vast array of ports meant I never had to reach for a dongle and the loud and punchy speakers allowed me to forgo any gaming headsets or external speakers. However, the performance of the Stealth 16 Studio did leave something to be desired. Lagging and slow loading times while browsing the web made this laptop feel much slower than it should, especially when you consider the above £2000/$2000 asking price. That’s not to say that it can’t run triple-A games at a reliable frame rate, but you’re likely to incur some stuttering along the way. If you’re looking for something that strikes a great balance between portability and performance then the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023) is one of the best options out there, and the Asus TUF Gaming A15 is a fantastic choice if you want to save some money. For even more options, take a look at our best gaming laptop roundup.

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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
