When it comes to buying a business laptop, most people have three main requirements: as fast as possible, as light as possible, and as affordable as possible. MSI’s 13.3″ Prestige 13 AI EVO ultrabook laptop ticks all those boxes. The new device, touted as the fastest ultrabook laptop ever, is just 0.67 inches thick and weighs less than 1kg ( 2.18 pounds), making it one of the lightest in its class.
The MSI Prestige 13 AI EVO comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled and is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (Meteor Lake) processor, which outperforms AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900HX (no small feat) and Intel Arc Graphics. This means it can handle the most demanding tasks with ease, making it an ideal choice for businesses and creative professionals alike.
The ultrabook features a 13.3-inch QHD+ (2880×1800) OLED display and is equipped with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD.
Advanced hardware tuning
In terms of ports, the Prestige 13 AI EVO offers one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C, and one HDMI 2.1. It also features a headphone jack, a Micro SD card reader, a Full HD IR webcam, and a fingerprint reader.
For wireless connectivity, it uses the now certified Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is 2.4 times faster than the 2.4 Gbps speeds of Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth 5.4.
The design of the Prestige 13 AI EVO is not only lightweight but also elegant and stylish. It has a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis available in Pure White or Stellar Grey, a backlit keyboard, and a large trackpad.
The “AI” in its name comes from the MSI AI Engine, an intelligent technology designed to offer advanced automatic tuning. This feature is not available out of the box, but will be delivered via an update in the coming months.
Despite the high-end specs, the MSI Prestige 13 AI EVO 13.3” is affordably priced and can be pre-ordered now through Newegg for just $1,299.
