MSI has just unveiled its latest laptops at CES 2026, headlined by the redesigned MSI Prestige series, designed for professionals who demand both performance and style.
“The newly designed Prestige series—with its all-new design language, smoother contours, and elevated craftsmanship—underscores MSI’s commitment to innovation in the business and productivity segment,” said Eric Kuo, Executive Vice President and General Manager of MSI’s NB Business Unit. “With unique features like the Action Touchpad and MSI Nano Pen, we’re helping professionals unlock greater productivity and control wherever they go.”
Joining the fresh Prestige series are the latest members of the Modern series and the gaming laptops, including the new Raider, Stealth, and Crosshair series. Moreover, the company announced a new color for the MSI Claw 8 AI+.
MSI Prestige Series – CES 2026
The all-new MSI Prestige series still comes in three options – the Prestige 14 AI+, the Prestige 16 AI+, and the Prestige A3 AI+. Additionally, there’s the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ and Prestige 16 Flip AI+. These are premium business and productivity laptops built for professionals who demand performance, mobility, and design.
The MSI Prestige laptops are slimmer and feature a more rounded and modern silhouette, crafted from full aluminum. The Prestige 14 weighs 1.32kg, lighter than its predecessor by 22%, while the Prestige 16 comes at 1.59kg.
These laptops are powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors coupled with an 81Wh battery. The battery is said to offer up to 30+ hours of 1080p video playback. These are also equipped with up to an integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics.
To keep these laptops cool, there’s an advanced vapor chamber, dual-fan, and Intra Flow thermal design, which is said to maintain full performance while keeping noise levels under 30 dBA.
The Prestige 14 Flip and Prestige 16 Flip offer the same performance and slim design, but with the added flexibility of a 2-in-1 form factor and touch-enabled displays with stylus support.
The Prestige Flip series comes bundled with the MSI Nano Pen, housed in a slot at the bottom of the laptop. The MSI exclusive Pen charges while docked, and a 15-second charge is said to give up to 45 minutes of use, while a full charge takes only 30 seconds.
The MSI Nano Pen also includes a Copilot press-to-talk feature as part of MSI’s exclusive collaboration with Microsoft. By pressing both buttons, you can activate voice input for Copilot for more natural interactions.
Other features include:
- 2.8K 120Hz OLED display with VRR and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification
- New Action Touchpad – 53% larger with customizable gesture zones
- TPM 2.0 enterprise-grade security
- Windows Hello fingerprint and facial recognition
- Smart Guard presence-based auto-lock
