Pros and Cons

MSI Prestige 13

Strengths

This is truly a lightweight 13-inch laptop something that every premium 13-inch laptop should aspire to do and MSI executed flawlessly.
I appreciate the high-quality display, abundance of IO ports over here, and also the fact that you get some fantastic performance great thermals and respectable battery life.
The device has impressive thermal management, with a maximum average surface temperature of 38°C under unrealistic peak loads and around 35°C with more realistic sustained loads.
The system memory and Intel Core i7-1280V processor combination provides excellent general productivity, programming, and coding performance.
The laptop's battery life is impressive, lasting up to 14 hours on a single charge with general productivity use cases.

Weaknesses

The trackpad is cheap and not up to par with the rest of the device's quality.
The display has a 60Hz refresh rate, which is below what most users expect from a high-end laptop.
The speakers are absolutely terrible, with the reviewer joking that they could be found on a budget laptop.
Gaming performance is not great, with games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive running at 30 FPS, which is about 50% less than other similar laptops.
Some components, such as system memory and the connectivity module, are soldered onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.
