Prestige 16 AI+

MSI's Prestige 16 AI+ is the company's premium business laptop for 2026, and it's turning heads at CES. This isn't your father's MSI — the Prestige lineup has evolved into a legitimate MacBook competitor with serious AI chops.

Powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra 7 processor (with optional X7 and X9 variants), the Prestige 16 AI+ is built for productivity and AI workloads. The integrated NPU handles on-device AI tasks like background removal, voice enhancement, and generative AI apps without draining the battery.

The 16-inch 2.8K OLED display is stunning — 2880 x 1800 resolution with 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. Whether you're editing photos, watching movies, or just working, this is one of the best displays in its class.

Build quality is excellent with an aluminum chassis that's just 16.9mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. The keyboard is comfortable for all-day typing, and the large touchpad supports precision gestures.

Ports include Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and a microSD card reader — everything you need without dongles. Battery life is solid at around 10 hours, and the 100W USB-C charger tops up quickly.

At $1,399 (starting), it undercuts the MacBook Pro 14 while offering a larger display and similar performance. The Prestige 16 AI+ is a compelling choice for professionals who want power, portability, and that gorgeous OLED without the Apple premium.
