MSI has packed the Prestige 14 with a powerful 10th generation Intel Core processor and a mid-range NVIDIA GPU, despite the device being just 16 mm thick. Can such a thin and light laptop keep these components cool? Our initial tests suggest so. Read on to find out more in this hands-on review.

Is the USB Type-C (PD Charging) Gen 2 or Gen 1?
I am surprised there is no comment this new nice feature. No more specific power port, well done MSI
Any thoughts on the sound quality? Positioning and power of speakers? Professional tuning?
Thanks for the initial review, very helpful!
Hi, are you going to write hands-on review to Prestige 15? Is there pwm flickering in display, please?
Thanks

It's really USB 2.0? Hope it's pre production only...
2 type-C and 2 type-A yesss
soldered RAM nooo
52Wh battery mehhh
2.0 type-A honestly isn't too bad, but it is strange to see.
memory is lpddr3-2133
Where are people seeing the battery size is only 52Whr?

No response times?
What happened to the emissions section?
When is the full review coming out?
Eagerly looking forward. Want to buy this laptop but the 50Whr battery (and USB 2.0) are scaring me a little bit.
Yes pls looking forward the review too.
I am really curious how this will perform with undervolting. And with the 1080 screen for better battery life and lower graphics load. Hopefully the 1080 screen will have 100% sRGB and good color accuracy for content creators. It could be the perfect portable work machine I've been searching for all these years. Looking forward to seeing new laptops with comet lake CPUs.
What's the release date in the UK/EU? I'm eyeing either this one or the 15" version, granted there's no DPC Latency issues etc.
But the form factor, lightweight and 6core U cpu looks damn enticing
The version with 1920x1080 display seems to be prelisted on some online retailers for preorder for 1530-1550 Euro including VAT.
Crucial question: When this model is going to available in sale in EU?
I have the Prestige 14 now in use for 3 weeks, battery is very underwhelming compared to my 7 year old Samsung Series 7. If not in super Battery Saver Mode it burns through it battery in no time (2 hours in WiFi surfing). With max Battery saving features enabled it´s reaching 3-4 hours max, with a screen too dark to read nicely.
Any one else is having this issue?

I get about 6 hours of WiFi surfing on Linux with regular screen brightness and CPU turboboost enabled. Not great compared to my previous laptop (KabyLake Asus) but bearable.
I think having an ad-blocker or restricting browser to no more than 2 CPU cores can make a big difference here - 6-core CPU will use up the battery in no time if it allowed to run at 100% and, sadly, ads scripts and animations often use as much CPU as they can get.
What are the temperatures in games like?
It's quite surprising that they went from a two fan configuration on the very similar predecessor model (PS42) which had a 1050 Max-Q, to a one fan configuration here for the 1650 Max-Q. One fan configuration with both heatpipes being shared between the CPU and GPU might suffice perhaps for the weaker MX250, but for the 1650? No way.
Ta da bump, or should the 4800U be considered instead? xD
How the hell could it be IPS with such awful viewing angles!? What a yellowish article! MSI calls it "IPS-level", which means color space close to IPS (or 100% sRGB, which is merely 60% of Adobe RGB, a modern standard for HQ displays). In other aspects, it can be anything from AHVA, down to simple TN. In the figure above we see something very similar to cheap AU's MVA.
