MSI is adding two new models with 16-inch panels to its Prestige series of thin and light business laptops. The Prestige 16 and Prestige 16 EVO (Intel EVO standard) models are both equipped with Intel’s Alder Lake-P processors and feature a stylish Urban Silver chassis with a proprietary dual-fan cooling system for whisper-quiet operation (max 35 dB).
The non-EVO variant sports a 16-inch Mini-LED panel display panel with 2560 x 1600 resolution, 165Hz refresh, and 16:10 aspect ratio. The panel is quite bright as it comes with the DisplayHDR 1000 certification and also offers a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. On the other hand, the EVO model has an FHD+ resolution display that offers 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut. It, however, lacks HDR certification.
The graphical solution is another difference between the two variants. The premium variant has an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU with 4 GB GDDR6 VRAM whereas the EVO model only has an integrated Iris Xe GPU. Other than that, both the laptops offer identical i7-1280P processors, 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM (soldered), and an NVMe PCIe 4.0 X4 M.2 SSD.
The laptops come with two Thunderbolt 4 connectors with DP and charging modes, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an HDMI video output, an audio combo jack, and a microSD card reader. Other features include a white backlit keyboard, an 82 Wh battery, a fingerprint sensor, an ambient light sensor, an FHD webcam with an IR sensor, and a noise-canceling AI-powered mic array.
