WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:12.240 the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo and it looks 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 00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:20.960 and let's get right into it got a quick 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.680 guide for charging we have a 100 W brick 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:28.720 that's actually quite nice and small maybe gallium nitride and it is 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:30.720 delivering that 100 wats over USB type-c 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 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.840 plug in your laptop to your phone charger and charge it that way now what 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 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:46.879 bogus it has Intel's new core Ultra 00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:51.160 chips inside of it which has a neural Computing chip which allows it to just 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:56.160 like accelerate AI workloads such as stable diffusion even just like AI 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.879 blurring the Windows Windows so they use less power when it's doing like 00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:03.920 transparency and stuff like that it is is actually kind of useful one thing a 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.200 lot of notebooks these days get wrong especially when they're trying to be 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:10.880 thin and light is the I/O and fortunately MSI has not made that 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:16.680 mistake here on the right hand side we have a 3.5 mm headphone microphone combo 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:21.600 Jack fullsize SD card rear every photographer is super stoked to about 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:24.400 that one and a fullsize Ethernet port on 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:30.320 the back we have fullsize HDMI love to see that USB type A and two Thunderbolt 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 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.920 just couple of fins MSI in their notes 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 00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:48.479 thin I'm kind of curious oh I see what's 00:01:45.399 --> 00:01:50.560 happening here this is one of those ones 00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:55.240 where the laptop itself is actually pretty thin but they have these feet 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 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.719 guessing that the thermal performance is pretty good and that's why when I just 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:09.679 had it on the table it seemed kind of thick even though it actually is right 00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:12.720 around 19 mm thick and that is not what 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:14.400 I would consider ultra thin but at the 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:19.840 same time I think that it's a good compromise because it is a tiny bit 00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.599 thicker but also like full size Ethernet fulls size HDMI I think a lot of you 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:31.319 guys know which one you would rather have between thin and usable IO MSI 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:36.200 claims The Prestige 16 is 3.3 lb let's 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:38.360 see how this one is 3.44 not bad not bad 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:42.879 I'm guessing we have just a little bit extra RAM or something the actual 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:47.080 weights of things can change a fair bit from config to config like you get this 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 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:58.040 look of the prestige 16 is quite nice it does have that professional feel it does 00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:02.159 have actually reefing on it pretty hard right now and it has except exeptional 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:09.480 chassis rigidity that's being provided by an aluminum and magnesium blend for 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:12.120 the chassis is it fingerprint resistant 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 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:21.200 this is yeah you have to shine it straight into the light to see those 00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:22.799 fingerprints so good job there MSI the 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:28.120 chassis around the keyboard and the trackpad is also really nice and firm 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 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:38.319 I'm not super duper concerned about that MSI's build quality in their laptops has 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:43.680 just completely changed over the last couple of years and I'm really impressed 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:45.280 with just how wellb built this thing is 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 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:54.360 much just using my eyeballs I can pretty easily tell you that this is a fantastic 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 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:04.239 interesting first of all it is quite good but what's interesting is that in 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:10.120 SDR the accuracy of the panel is actually pretty bad with an average 00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:11.799 Delta e of 4.8 which is way higher than 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:16.000 the two that we would expect for professional work which is what this is 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 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:23.759 find any obvious ways to stop that but 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.479 if you just turn on HDR okay that just 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:31.639 looks way better so you enable HDR and it's quite accurate in HDR right around 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 00:04:33.960 --> 00:04:41.440 accurate in SDR for some reason so there's not really any reason to not 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:46.520 just turn on HDR and Windows cuz then the color mapping of this display in all 00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:48.680 of your content is just way better why 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 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.720 the peak brightness of this display is 600 nits so that's bright enough that 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 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 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:13.080 where you can just see those completely black blacks it's just oh darn no 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:17.919 touchcreen though that's unfortunate but what is fortunate is that in here we 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.360 have an Intel Core Ultra 7 155h in this 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 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:34.319 six performance cores eight efficiency and a total of 22 threads this thing 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:37.600 goes up to 4.8 GHz which is just ripping 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:40.800 fast also quite fast 6,400 megga 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:43.160 transfer pers second RAM 32 GB of the 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 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:52.280 that in the future but such is a thin and light one thing we just realized 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:56.919 that is strange is that if you have six performance cores and eight efficiency 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:59.000 cores that is 14 cores but it says that 00:05:56.919 --> 00:06:04.720 it has 16 and that's because it also has two ultra low power efficiency cores 00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:10.080 which are honestly I don't really know what those do besides use way less power 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:16.400 than the already efficient cores but good job Intel for storage we have 1 tab 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 00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:24.360 router is able to do Wi-Fi 7 GPU it's 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 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:34.720 4070 so if you want to do less like photo editing and more hardcore video 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:39.520 editing I might suggest that you go for the 4060 or the 4070 version of this 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 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.319 somewhere else also we have Intel's npu 00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:52.520 this is dedicated to accelerating AI tasks so doing stuff like uh stable 00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:58.400 diffusion in you can do different stuff within Lightroom classic and just 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:01.400 general AI things how is the keyboard 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:09.879 the keyboard overall is pretty decent I would give it maybe like a B minus 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:15.199 somewhere around there it's been a real sore point for MSI for years and years 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:20.840 and it has gotten a lot better as they have improved the chassis rigidity but 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:23.240 it still isn't quite there like if you 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 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:32.720 deflection from the key before it starts to actuate and that can hurt your speed 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:38.800 and your accuracy and there's definitely some inconsistencies like on hours the J 00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:42.000 key takes less Force to press than the K 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.800 key maybe something like a 15% variance 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:49.199 or something like that when you normally expect more like 10 or five on a really 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 00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:58.759 it and some of those inconsistencies do still rear their 00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:01.919 heads as a little bit of not the accuracy that that I would expect to 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:07.039 have on a keyboard like this but a lot of you might trade that for the 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:09.240 inclusion of a numpad on the right A lot 00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:13.840 of people I know and like myself when I'm using solid works absolutely love 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 00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:22.599 laptop for your actual professional job one area though where MSI has just 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 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 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:37.399 topped it's accurate it's really nice and large and overall just no complaints 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:42.360 about the trackpad good job there all right so I'm gaming at 1080p here first 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.399 of all rocket League looks absolutely 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:48.320 fantastic on this OLED monitor it is 60 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:53.839 HZ but OLED has super quick response times which does mean that things look 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:58.920 absolutely fantastic and it should play really quite well although it's not the 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:03.440 best gaming experience that I've ever had one thing for performance that's 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:07.959 nice that MSI has here is the MSI AI engine so that smartly just changes 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.880 between your various power modes depending on what you're doing and 00:09:10.040 --> 00:09:15.720 that's great because I've seen the data from a bunch of different companies and 00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:19.640 only like 10% of people actually take the time to go like Extreme Performance 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:24.680 mode balance silence super battery and stuff like that most people never look 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 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 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 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:45.040 honest it looks like that the keys themselves are in the 42 range which is 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:51.120 okayish although if we look at right up at the top here this aluminum is 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 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 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 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 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 00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:19.240 noise that the fans are making is really quite 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:27.959 reasonable okay all right that's respectable it's not the loudest laptop 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 00:10:30.959 --> 00:10:36.800 they haven't just like cranked up the volume to where the poor speakers 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 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.360 Base in there crab Rave is also just so 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:51.800 good for showing off how Fantastic oleds look like look at that pitch black that 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 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:01.800 and the first thing that I really like is this little switch right here you can 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:04.040 just hard disable it I really really 00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:07.639 appreciate these kind of little switches so that you know for sure that your 00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:14.560 webcam is not looking at you when you don't want it to coming in here 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:17.600 though it looks fine it's kind of noisy 00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:19.920 but not too bad but speaking of noisy 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:24.800 gentlemen we now have two laptops playing 10 hours of construction sounds 00:11:22.839 --> 00:11:30.720 now MSI says that their AI noise cancellation Pro works really quite well 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.639 so let's uh just turn that on for a bit 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 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 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:50.480 the AI noise cancelling now uh I do have a little surprise for you guys second 00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:57.560 laptop it's the same thing but 3 in smaller a it's so 00:11:53.839 --> 00:12:00.360 cute and also like quite nice it really 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 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:08.240 but 16 is pretty large 13 is much more 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:12.480 manageable but you are giving up things like there's no Ethernet there's no 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:16.000 fullsize SD card reader but if what you're looking for is something that's 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:23.279 just super duper nice and thin Prestige 13 13 also has an OLED 00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:26.120 display it has a keyboard that 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:30.639 is quite similar to the 16 slightly smaller touchpad but I'm not too 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:36.680 concerned about with that and it also has a 75w battery which in a laptop of 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 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 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:54.279 in eight Phillips head screws later all of which are the same size and 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:58.360 wow that's where the GPU 00:12:54.279 --> 00:13:00.120 goes wow there's just nothing there 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:04.800 normally you see like you know the heat pipes going over to another fan so that 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 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 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.279 from the factory and if you want to upgrade it there's another one that is 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 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:27.440 it is without the GPU we know that much also unfortunately the RAM is soldered 00:13:25.760 --> 00:13:30.839 down right here which does allow you to have higher speeds but 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:34.399 you can't upgrade it in the future so make sure you get enough when you 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 00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:43.279 battery now that is just a hair under 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 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.360 life which you might be thinking uh we don't even have a dedicated GPU why 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:57.759 isn't it more than that and that's largely down to the OLED panel oleds 00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:02.120 just suck back battery life and that's why we need this AB absolutely massive 00:14:00.199 --> 00:14:07.120 thing to compensate for that so that you can have those just actually stunning 00:14:04.839 --> 00:14:10.560 visuals that it is able to provide now of course this video is sponsored so 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:15.639 take my recommendation with a grain of salt but I'm actually quite impressed 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 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:26.560 that fantastic 4K OLED panel is $1,00 us 00:14:23.800 --> 00:14:30.279 which for that is actually quite good if you want something a little bit less 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 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 00:14:38.959 --> 00:14:46.079 pretty pricey pretty fast but this configurate here 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:50.199 particularly I am quite impressed with and of course I'm impressed with MSI for 00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:56.360 sponsoring this video huge thanks guys for watching hit like get subscribed and 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.360 just have a great old day
