MSI Prestige A16 AI+ review: Multimedia laptop with powerful Ryzen 9 365

[Redaktion]

Last year, MSI launched the Prestige 16 multimedia laptop with Core Ultra 155H, now the AMD A16 variant with Ryzen 9 and integrated NPU (Copilot+, €1,599) follows and makes a good leap forward in terms of performance. However, the AMD laptop does not only have advantages over its Intel counterpart. We explain!

I have been using this computer for 10 days now and my biggest issue is the heat generated above the keyboard when it is charging. It gets really hot. Is this acceptable? And the vents blow the hot air towards the base of the screen. Not the best design. Is the over-heating battery or the hot air at the bottom of the screen a cause for concern for durability? I am trying to limit my time plugged in only for the hour it takes to charge from 20% to 80%. Then it cools off fairly fast afterwards. Thank you.

Yes.

Heat and that vent design are the two things that's making me pause about buying this laptop. I've read a couple of screen failures but then others saying the design can take the vent heat.
