MSI has unveiled its next-generation Prestige and Summit series laptops at COMPUTEX 2024. These business and productivity laptops are powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors (codenamed “Lunar Lake”), boasting significant advancements in AI capabilities.
The new processors offer up to three times more AI performance compared to the previous generation. This translates to the ability to run more AI software and services directly on the laptop, enhancing efficiency and security. Additionally, the processors integrate a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) alongside the CPU and GPU, delivering over 100 TOPS of AI computing power.
The Prestige and Summit series come equipped with comprehensive software and services optimized for the Intel Core Ultra processors. This optimization, provided by over 100 independent software vendors, ensures a smooth and secure user experience. Furthermore, with over 500 pre-optimized AI models, these laptops offer a robust platform for developing AI-related services.
Beyond AI prowess, the Core Ultra processors boast improved energy efficiency. This allows for lighter, thinner laptops with extended battery life, ideal for business professionals on the go. The Prestige series comes in 13-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch display options. All models prioritize portability with lightweight builds and large batteries. For instance, the Prestige 13 AI+ Evo weighs a mere 990 grams and packs a 75Wh battery for uninterrupted workday use. Additionally, the entire Prestige series upgrades to a 5-megapixel webcam, enhancing video conferencing capabilities.
The Summit 13 AI+ Evo is a standout within MSI’s business and productivity category.
