If MSI set out to purely beat its competition by developing a featherweight laptop, I’d say that goal has been successfully accomplished. At under 1kg (2.13 pounds), the MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo ($1,399) is the lightest notebook I’ve had the honor of using, and fortunately, that’s not its only perk.
In its compact 13-inch chassis, you’ll find an Intel Lunar Lake chip that gives the laptop a boost in performance, battery life and even graphics. Oh, and in AI, if its moniker didn’t make that clear. This is a Copilot+ PC after all, so you’ll get all the AI benefits that come with it, along with the company’s own MSI AI Engine. That’s not the reason this laptop excels, though.
