MSI Summit 13 AI+ Evo (2024) 13.3" FHD+ Professional Laptop: Intel Core Ultra 7-258V, ARC Graphics, 32GB LPDDR5X, 2TB NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 4, Win 11 Pro: Ink Black A2VMTG-017US

This review is for the Prestige 14 EVO and is different from other reviews in that it focuses on Linux. I did start up the computer under Windows 11 Pro to make sure everything was working, but very quickly then began an install of Endeavour Linux (an Arch derivative). Installation went smoothly and took under 15 minutes, and the computer booted in Linux at once. Everything except the fingerprint reader worked straight out of the box and worked perfectly. Some online research led to getting the fingerprint reader working, eliminating the loud fan noise other complain of when using Windows, reducing the hot running to a more or less normal level wherein it feels just a bit warm to the touch under heavy load. While I can't speak to battery life under Windows, it is quite good under Linux and depending on workload approaches 10 hours (less under heavy load with lots of graphics use but still good). In short, this computer seems to do better with Linux than it does with Windows. Pros: 1. Sharp and vibrant display. 2. Fast SSD (I have the 1TB model). 3. Fast (enough) processors for nearly all work including large compiles and the like. 4. A truly excellent keyboard; key travel is shallow but the spacing isn't the least cramped. 5. Very good battery life. 6. Lots of memory (32GB on this one). 7. Super value for the money. 8. If you're really into tinkering, the advanced BIOS menu allows you to go to town if you know what you're doing. Cons: 1. Not the most rugged construction. 2. A little heavier than you might expect (but still quite portable). 3. Display is only 1920x1080, which would limit some creative work applications. 4. Charging block is enormous and on the heavy side. Overall this is a real deal for the price and certainly rates five stars.

The build quality is quite good with quality components puzzling why manufacture the refresh at 60hz you will need a secondary monitor if you are doing anything other than standard computing. Disappointing for a 2k+ computer with taxes.

Read and watched a lot of reviews of this MSI Prestige and glad I took the plunge. Gorgeous OLED screen giving my tired eyes a lot of extra real estate and fine resolution that my 2021 model HP Envy x360 wasn't able to provide. Oh, the MSI is about a pound and a half lighter, too, just 3.3 pounds. I wanted to address some of the cons that other reviewers have noted. 1) The ports are mostly located on the back - I find it's easier to use this way, and makes for a neater work space, but if it's on your lap and you stick in a thumb drive you'll need to be careful not to whack it...just common sense. The Windows 11 Pro setup took about 45 minutes for the updates, not a big deal. BTW, having the pro version means you can lock the laptop down much better against all the built-in windows surveillance. Performance is snappy great. The SSD included with this is a high-end Phison 2TB, fast and sips power. (according to specs) Some folks thought this newer version of the 16 AI has more chassis flex, but I can't detect it. The alloy chassis is firm and light. Keyboard action has a great feel, not too firm, not mush. It only has one cooling fan, unlike my old HP. Was concerned that this might be a problem. Nope, cool and quiet for most tasks while the fan occasionally spooled up under disk-intensive tasks, but it was never loud and never overly warm. Can't speak to the gaming capability, as I'm not a gamer. But in closing this MSI is a real winner, thin, light, lots of ports, does everything I need.

7 Star of 5 from because I buy it on Christmas Sale for unbelievable low Price Fast, Light, Powerful, Excellent Battery Life, 2TB Storage ... Convertible Looks Excellent too it is undoubtedly one of the best And if it were also stain-resistant, it would be Absolutely Perfect
