Its lightweight design and long-lasting battery life make it highly portable and suited for those on the go, without needing frequent access to a power outlet.
Engineering & Design:
4.4
The MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo boasts a powerful CPU and ample RAM, which are crucial for running complex engineering software efficiently, while its high-quality GPU and screen ensure sharp visuals for design work.

PerfectRec’s Software Development Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for software development.

Heat management, storage, keyboard and speaker quality are also incorporated, with fan noise rounding out this score.
Content Creation:
4.4
PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, and video editing work. In addition to a strong emphasis on overall performance, this score also places very high importance on screen quality.

Gaming & AI:
3.8
The MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo, while having a capable CPU and good screen quality, may not deliver the best gaming and 3D experience due to its graphics card, which isn't as powerful as those found in dedicated gaming laptops, and its standard screen refresh rate, which is lower than the higher rates preferred for smooth gaming visuals. Therefore, while suitable for moderate use, serious gamers or 3D professionals could benefit from a laptop with a stronger GPU and a higher refresh rate display.
