MSI has released its updated Prestige series laptops, featuring the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. Unveiled at CES earlier this month, these business-oriented machines emphasize long battery life and slim designs. Prices start at $1,299 in the US.
MSI's latest Prestige lineup, introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier in January 2026, is now on sale in the United States. These laptops cater to professionals needing reliable performance on the go, powered by Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 processors. Configurations range up to the high-end Intel Core Ultra 9, making them suitable for demanding multitasking during work trips without constant access to power outlets.
A standout feature is the 91Wh battery, which delivers over 30 hours of 1080p video playback. In practical scenarios, this supports a full day of intensive work. The devices sport a full aluminum chassis, slimmer than previous models, and incorporate vapor chamber cooling paired with dual-fan systems to maintain quiet operation and prevent overheating.
For versatility, the 2-in-1 Flip variants allow stylus use, ideal for note-taking or creative tasks. Display options include a 2.8K OLED panel on the Prestige 16 and 16 Flip models, supporting variable refresh rate (VRR) and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 for vibrant visuals. The smaller Flip 14 offers an OLED screen at FHD+ resolution but without VRR.
Starting at $1,299, the full range targets business users seeking durability and efficiency in a portable form factor. This refresh positions MSI to compete in the premium ultrabook market with enhanced portability and power efficiency.
