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.
