Verdict

It has a hinge design that acts as a laptop stand

This is a work laptop that packs a lot of punch.

The MSI Prestige 14 is one of the few ultra-slim and portable laptops with the powerful 12th Gen Intel Core i7 chip combined with the RTX 3050 graphics.

Apart from its gorgeous look and being highly portable, those two specs alone are enough to consider this device.

Just note that this is not a perfect machine, we've seen other similarly priced laptops with crisper displays, higher refresh rates, and better speakers, among others.

But in general, the experience is solid and this is one of the fastest slim laptops at this price point today.
