1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,800 M Prestige you can't spell that without MSI what we've got right here today is 2 00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,240 the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo and it looks 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:17,680 like it could be a real good one so huge thanks to MSI for sponsoring this video 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:20,960 and let's get right into it got a quick 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,680 guide for charging we have a 100 W brick 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:28,720 that's actually quite nice and small maybe gallium nitride and it is 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,720 delivering that 100 wats over USB type-c 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,360 which I do really like to see that means that if say you forget this you can just 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,840 plug in your laptop to your phone charger and charge it that way now what 10 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:44,760 you might have noticed is that this says AI in the name and it isn't complete 11 00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,879 bogus it has Intel's new core Ultra 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,160 chips inside of it which has a neural Computing chip which allows it to just 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:56,160 like accelerate AI workloads such as stable diffusion even just like AI 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:59,879 blurring the Windows Windows so they use less power when it's doing like 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,920 transparency and stuff like that it is is actually kind of useful one thing a 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,200 lot of notebooks these days get wrong especially when they're trying to be 17 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:10,880 thin and light is the I/O and fortunately MSI has not made that 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:16,680 mistake here on the right hand side we have a 3.5 mm headphone microphone combo 19 00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:21,600 Jack fullsize SD card rear every photographer is super stoked to about 20 00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:24,400 that one and a fullsize Ethernet port on 21 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:30,320 the back we have fullsize HDMI love to see that USB type A and two Thunderbolt 22 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,280 4 ports and on the right hand side we have a Kensington lock and that is it 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,920 just couple of fins MSI in their notes 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:45,399 for this says that it's ultra thin and ultra light but it looks not the most 25 00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,479 thin I'm kind of curious oh I see what's 26 00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:50,560 happening here this is one of those ones 27 00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:55,240 where the laptop itself is actually pretty thin but they have these feet 28 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:59,320 down on the bottom so that has nice and lots of room for the air intake so I'm 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,719 guessing that the thermal performance is pretty good and that's why when I just 30 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:09,679 had it on the table it seemed kind of thick even though it actually is right 31 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,720 around 19 mm thick and that is not what 32 00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:14,400 I would consider ultra thin but at the 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:19,840 same time I think that it's a good compromise because it is a tiny bit 34 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,599 thicker but also like full size Ethernet fulls size HDMI I think a lot of you 35 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:31,319 guys know which one you would rather have between thin and usable IO MSI 36 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:36,200 claims The Prestige 16 is 3.3 lb let's 37 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:38,360 see how this one is 3.44 not bad not bad 38 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,879 I'm guessing we have just a little bit extra RAM or something the actual 39 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:47,080 weights of things can change a fair bit from config to config like you get this 40 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:53,200 with a 4070 I imagine that's adding an extra like 3 400 G to it the overall 41 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:58,040 look of the prestige 16 is quite nice it does have that professional feel it does 42 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,159 have actually reefing on it pretty hard right now and it has except exeptional 43 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:09,480 chassis rigidity that's being provided by an aluminum and magnesium blend for 44 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,120 the chassis is it fingerprint resistant 45 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:16,360 though that's yeah that's pretty good I'm like half a greasy one right now and 46 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,200 this is yeah you have to shine it straight into the light to see those 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,799 fingerprints so good job there MSI the 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,120 chassis around the keyboard and the trackpad is also really nice and firm 49 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,159 there's a little bit of a soft spot over here at the same time that's pad area so 50 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:38,319 I'm not super duper concerned about that MSI's build quality in their laptops has 51 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:43,680 just completely changed over the last couple of years and I'm really impressed 52 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,280 with just how wellb built this thing is 53 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,280 this has an OLED panel I don't even need to look at my notes to tell you that 54 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:54,360 much just using my eyeballs I can pretty easily tell you that this is a fantastic 55 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:59,000 looking display but our Labs did have a sniff of it and it's actually kind of 56 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:04,239 interesting first of all it is quite good but what's interesting is that in 57 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:10,120 SDR the accuracy of the panel is actually pretty bad with an average 58 00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:11,799 Delta e of 4.8 which is way higher than 59 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:16,000 the two that we would expect for professional work which is what this is 60 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,759 aimed at everything's a lot more vibrant than it should be and we weren't able to 61 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,759 find any obvious ways to stop that but 62 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:26,479 if you just turn on HDR okay that just 63 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:31,639 looks way better so you enable HDR and it's quite accurate in HDR right around 64 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,840 that 2 that we expect of the Delta e but turning on HDR also makes it way more 65 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:41,440 accurate in SDR for some reason so there's not really any reason to not 66 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:46,520 just turn on HDR and Windows cuz then the color mapping of this display in all 67 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,680 of your content is just way better why 68 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,440 that is I don't know but it's just one click right here and you're good also 69 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:56,720 the peak brightness of this display is 600 nits so that's bright enough that 70 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:01,840 you might be able to go outside and work on this although it is quite shiny and 71 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:07,039 really it's an OLED so where it's really really going to shine is in dark rooms 72 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:13,080 where you can just see those completely black blacks it's just oh darn no 73 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:17,919 touchcreen though that's unfortunate but what is fortunate is that in here we 74 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,360 have an Intel Core Ultra 7 155h in this 75 00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:26,479 one right here you can go up to an ultra 9 in this one we have 16 cores so that's 76 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:34,319 six performance cores eight efficiency and a total of 22 threads this thing 77 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:37,600 goes up to 4.8 GHz which is just ripping 78 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:40,800 fast also quite fast 6,400 megga 79 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,160 transfer pers second RAM 32 GB of the 80 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:48,160 stuff is in here it does say it's a row of chips so chances are we can't upgrade 81 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:52,280 that in the future but such is a thin and light one thing we just realized 82 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,919 that is strange is that if you have six performance cores and eight efficiency 83 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:59,000 cores that is 14 cores but it says that 84 00:05:56,919 --> 00:06:04,720 it has 16 and that's because it also has two ultra low power efficiency cores 85 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:10,080 which are honestly I don't really know what those do besides use way less power 86 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:16,400 than the already efficient cores but good job Intel for storage we have 1 tab 87 00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:22,240 Wi-Fi it's a killer Wi-Fi 7 cards so that should be ripping fast if your 88 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,360 router is able to do Wi-Fi 7 GPU it's 89 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,560 Intel arc graphics that's built onto the chip now this is available with up to a 90 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:34,720 4070 so if you want to do less like photo editing and more hardcore video 91 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,520 editing I might suggest that you go for the 4060 or the 4070 version of this 92 00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:45,080 although we weren't able to test those so maybe just look up how good it is 93 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,319 somewhere else also we have Intel's npu 94 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:52,520 this is dedicated to accelerating AI tasks so doing stuff like uh stable 95 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:58,400 diffusion in you can do different stuff within Lightroom classic and just 96 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,400 general AI things how is the keyboard 97 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:09,879 the keyboard overall is pretty decent I would give it maybe like a B minus 98 00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:15,199 somewhere around there it's been a real sore point for MSI for years and years 99 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:20,840 and it has gotten a lot better as they have improved the chassis rigidity but 100 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,240 it still isn't quite there like if you 101 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:28,000 look the key stability if I push on the side isn't fantastic there's a lot of 102 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:32,720 deflection from the key before it starts to actuate and that can hurt your speed 103 00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:38,800 and your accuracy and there's definitely some inconsistencies like on hours the J 104 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:42,000 key takes less Force to press than the K 105 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,800 key maybe something like a 15% variance 106 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:49,199 or something like that when you normally expect more like 10 or five on a really 107 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:53,800 high-end laptop that said though after a while I was able to get mostly used to 108 00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:58,759 it and some of those inconsistencies do still rear their 109 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,919 heads as a little bit of not the accuracy that that I would expect to 110 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:07,039 have on a keyboard like this but a lot of you might trade that for the 111 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:09,240 inclusion of a numpad on the right A lot 112 00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:13,840 of people I know and like myself when I'm using solid works absolutely love 113 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,440 having a numpad over here and that can be the make or break of if you want this 114 00:08:16,039 --> 00:08:22,599 laptop for your actual professional job one area though where MSI has just 115 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:27,520 knocked it out of the park on this is the trackpad now it is over to the left 116 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:32,880 to align it with the keyboard and not the numpad which I do dig it's glass 117 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:37,399 topped it's accurate it's really nice and large and overall just no complaints 118 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,360 about the trackpad good job there all right so I'm gaming at 1080p here first 119 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,399 of all rocket League looks absolutely 120 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,320 fantastic on this OLED monitor it is 60 121 00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:53,839 HZ but OLED has super quick response times which does mean that things look 122 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:58,920 absolutely fantastic and it should play really quite well although it's not the 123 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:03,440 best gaming experience that I've ever had one thing for performance that's 124 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:07,959 nice that MSI has here is the MSI AI engine so that smartly just changes 125 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,880 between your various power modes depending on what you're doing and 126 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,720 that's great because I've seen the data from a bunch of different companies and 127 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,640 only like 10% of people actually take the time to go like Extreme Performance 128 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:24,680 mode balance silence super battery and stuff like that most people never look 129 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,160 at that ever and having it just be AI engine it figures it out for you and 130 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,560 it's probably mostly really quite good we've had rocket Leo for like five or so 131 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:38,680 minutes let's see how hot she's getting 46 so that's pretty borderline if I'm 132 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:45,040 honest it looks like that the keys themselves are in the 42 range which is 133 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:51,120 okayish although if we look at right up at the top here this aluminum is 134 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:57,279 conducting quite a bit of heat that's uh 48° it'll take a while to burn you but 135 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:01,000 that will burn you so don't uh don't hold your hand here while it's rendering 136 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:05,399 even though this might be a little bit hotter than I wanted it is at least not 137 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:10,640 very loud like I don't know if you can hear it right now but I barely can and 138 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:16,800 like holding it up like this you can hear a bit from the bottom but on the desk the amount of 139 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,240 noise that the fans are making is really quite 140 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:27,959 reasonable okay all right that's respectable it's not the loudest laptop 141 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:32,959 that I've ever heard but at the same time staging is good Clarity is good and 142 00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,800 they haven't just like cranked up the volume to where the poor speakers 143 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:42,399 distort and stuff it's all nice and clear even if there isn't a whole lot of 144 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:45,360 Base in there crab Rave is also just so 145 00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:51,800 good for showing off how Fantastic oleds look like look at that pitch black that 146 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,760 is nighttime right there now on to the webcam so we have a 1080p webcam up here 147 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:01,800 and the first thing that I really like is this little switch right here you can 148 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,040 just hard disable it I really really 149 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,639 appreciate these kind of little switches so that you know for sure that your 150 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:14,560 webcam is not looking at you when you don't want it to coming in here 151 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:17,600 though it looks fine it's kind of noisy 152 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:19,920 but not too bad but speaking of noisy 153 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:24,800 gentlemen we now have two laptops playing 10 hours of construction sounds 154 00:11:22,839 --> 00:11:30,720 now MSI says that their AI noise cancellation Pro works really quite well 155 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:32,639 so let's uh just turn that on for a bit 156 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:39,120 and maybe it sounds way better or maybe it doesn't we'll find out in a second 157 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:44,680 damn that worked really well that is sick I do have to say MSI good job on 158 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:50,480 the AI noise cancelling now uh I do have a little surprise for you guys second 159 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:57,560 laptop it's the same thing but 3 in smaller a it's so 160 00:11:53,839 --> 00:12:00,360 cute and also like quite nice it really 161 00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:06,360 does achieve the be being very thin and very light that MSI said that the 16 is 162 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,240 but 16 is pretty large 13 is much more 163 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,480 manageable but you are giving up things like there's no Ethernet there's no 164 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:16,000 fullsize SD card reader but if what you're looking for is something that's 165 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:23,279 just super duper nice and thin Prestige 13 13 also has an OLED 166 00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:26,120 display it has a keyboard that 167 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:30,639 is quite similar to the 16 slightly smaller touchpad but I'm not too 168 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:36,680 concerned about with that and it also has a 75w battery which in a laptop of 169 00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:41,680 this size is very very impressive we also have a 99 W hour in this one but 170 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:48,160 that's kind of what you expect in a 16in 75 W hours is really really good in a 13 171 00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:54,279 in eight Phillips head screws later all of which are the same size and 172 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:58,360 wow that's where the GPU 173 00:12:54,279 --> 00:13:00,120 goes wow there's just nothing there 174 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,800 normally you see like you know the heat pipes going over to another fan so that 175 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,839 your CPU has a higher TDP but they're just like no the there's there's a gap 176 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:14,240 now the good news in here is that we have two SSD slots so we have the one TB 177 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,279 from the factory and if you want to upgrade it there's another one that is 178 00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:23,760 just nice and free is it free when you get a GPU I'm not entirely sure but uh 179 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:27,440 it is without the GPU we know that much also unfortunately the RAM is soldered 180 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,839 down right here which does allow you to have higher speeds but 181 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:34,399 you can't upgrade it in the future so make sure you get enough when you 182 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:40,880 purchase the laptop the real star of the show in here is the 99.9 wat hour 183 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:43,279 battery now that is just a hair under 184 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:48,040 what you're allowed to take on a plane and it gets us over 10 hours of battery 185 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:52,360 life which you might be thinking uh we don't even have a dedicated GPU why 186 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,759 isn't it more than that and that's largely down to the OLED panel oleds 187 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:02,120 just suck back battery life and that's why we need this AB absolutely massive 188 00:14:00,199 --> 00:14:07,120 thing to compensate for that so that you can have those just actually stunning 189 00:14:04,839 --> 00:14:10,560 visuals that it is able to provide now of course this video is sponsored so 190 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:15,639 take my recommendation with a grain of salt but I'm actually quite impressed 191 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:23,800 with the price the config that we have right here 1 TB SSD 32 GB of RAM and 192 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:26,560 that fantastic 4K OLED panel is $1,00 us 193 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:30,279 which for that is actually quite good if you want something a little bit less 194 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:34,759 than 13in comes in at a starting price of $1050 and it can go up from there and 195 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:41,639 of course this right here if you want to outfit it with a 4060 or 4070 it can get 196 00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:46,079 pretty pricey pretty fast but this configurate here 197 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:50,199 particularly I am quite impressed with and of course I'm impressed with MSI for 198 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:56,360 sponsoring this video huge thanks guys for watching hit like get subscribed and 199 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,360 just have a great old day
