The new MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI Plus, priced at $1,300, features an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor, marking a significant advancement in the Prestige series. This two-in-one laptop is equipped with integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics, which enhances its capability for gaming and content creation, a notable feat for an integrated GPU.
Weighing only 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms), the device maintains a thin and lightweight profile while providing impressive battery life and operating almost silently. It is designed for portability rather than hardcore gaming, although it can handle playable framerates in AAA titles under certain conditions, such as utilizing Intel's Xe Super Sampling Frame Generation.
The display measures 14 inches with a resolution of 1920x1200 at 60Hz, and the laptop includes a robust set of ports including Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1. Despite its strengths, the device has some drawbacks, such as a hot bottom panel during gaming and a display refresh rate that may not satisfy all users.
