MSI’s new Prestige series with Intel Panther Lake chips is now available in the United States. The company first showcased these laptops at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026. The lineup consists of premium business and productivity laptops designed for professionals.
On the display front, MSI’s latest laptops feature OLED screens with up to a 120Hz refresh rate (with VRR support) and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification. Both the 14-inch and 16-inch variants feature flip-style touchscreens and support the MSI Precision Pen stylus.
Intel Panther Lake chips bring AI features and strong multitasking
Select MSI Prestige models ship with one of the latest Intel Panther Lake chips: the Core Ultra 9 388H. Even otherwise, the lineup features chips from the Core Ultra Series 3, which enable several Copilot+ features, provide efficient multitasking, and improve graphics performance.
To keep the processor’s temperature under control, the MSI Prestige laptops come equipped with vapor chamber cooling, dual-fan architecture (quiet operation under 30 dBA), and MSI’s Intra Flow design. All these features work in tandem to provide sustained performance.
Given the efficient Panther Lake processors and high-capacity batteries, the Prestige lineup offers over 30 hours of 1080p video playback, which could also translate into multi-day battery life for some users. Apart from these specifications, the Prestige lineup is built with premium design in mind.
Lightweight builds and premium materials to round things out
You also get multiple connectivity options on the laptops, including USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI 2.1 ports. Wireless connectivity options go up to Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth v6.0.
All the models feature an aluminum chassis and a slimmer profile (reaching 0.47 inches at their thinnest point). The 14-inch Prestige Flip AI+, for instance, weighs just 2.99 lb (1.39 kg), making it easy to carry around.
The baseline variant in the lineup, the Prestige 14 Flip AI+, with the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and Windows 11 Home out of the box, is available on B&H for $1,299.99. The Prestige laptops are also available on MSI’s online store and Micro Center.
