I Did Not Expect This Powerful Windows Laptop at CES 2026 to Be so Thin and Light
MSI's redesigned Prestige laptops feature Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, OLED displays, and up to 30 hours battery life, targeting professionals beyond gaming markets.
- On January 6, 2026, MSI unveiled redesigned Prestige AI+ ultraportables featuring Intel Panther Lake processors at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, exhibiting at Venetian Expo Veronese 2403–2406 and LVCC West Hall Booth #5067.
- The company says the redesign responds to MSI trying again to break into the business and workspace laptop class by expanding professionally-minded thin-and-light Prestige series with AI-era performance and design synergy.
- The redesigned Action Touchpad is 53% larger and supports edge gestures, Flip models include the MSI Nano Pen with fast charging, and MSI claims the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ lasts nearly 20 hours in PCMark 10.
- MSI provided some prices, noting the Prestige 16 is $1,400, the Prestige 16 Flip $1,630, and a Prestige 14 Flip AI+ US SKU at $1,299, but exact availability and future pricing remain uncertain.
- MSI positioned its lineup as a benchmark for AI-era performance, with reviewers comparing the Prestige line to MacBook Air-class ultraportables and Microsoft's Surface Pro, noting potential market repositioning.
