MSI is using CES 2026 to unveil its new “Business & Productivity” line-up. The focus is on the revised Prestige series, which combines modern design with powerful hardware. Thanks to the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the new models bring more efficiency, longer battery life and advanced AI functions to everyday mobile working life. In addition to the Prestige models, MSI is also presenting a refreshed design of the Modern series, which brings high-quality technology to a more affordable price segment.
- New Prestige series with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors
- Models with up to 30 hours of battery life and Intel Arc graphics
- Flip versions with touch display and MSI Nano Pen
- Modern series with new metal design from under 1,000 euros
Prestige series: design meets performance
The new Prestige series stands for elegance and performance. MSI presents the Prestige 14 and Prestige 16 models, also available as flip versions with a 360-degree touch display. Both versions feature a completely redesigned aluminum casing in platinum grey, clear lines and rounded contours. With an overall height of just 12 to 14 millimetres and a weight of 1.3 to 1.6 kilograms, they are among the thinnest and lightest business laptops in their class.
Inside is the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor, which is equipped for both professional applications and occasional gaming thanks to the integrated Intel Arc B390 graphics. The combination of new hybrid architecture and improved power management enables up to 30 hours of 1080p video playback on the Prestige 14. The new Intra-Flow-Vapor-Chamber system ensures optimum cooling, which efficiently distributes waste heat via two fans – with low operating noise at the same time.
Flexible 2-in-1 models with smart pen integration
With the Prestige Flip AI+ models, MSI is expanding its portfolio with particularly flexible 2-in-1 devices. These variants have touchscreens with robust Corning Gorilla Glass and support the new MSI Nano Pen, which can be magnetically stowed in the housing and charged wirelessly. A quick charge of 15 seconds is enough for up to 45 minutes of use, while a full charge is achieved in just 30 seconds.
The integration into Microsoft’s Copilot functions is also innovative: Thanks to its integrated microphone, the MSI Nano Pen can be used for voice-controlled interaction with AI-supported Windows functions. This clearly positions MSI’s Prestige series in the future-oriented AI and productivity segment.
Productivity meets security and convenience
A central highlight of the new generation is the action touchpad, which is 53 percent larger than before and offers new gesture functions. Brightness, volume, media control and the MSI Center can be operated directly with a swipe. Additional security is provided by TPM 2.0, Windows Hello with fingerprint and face recognition and the Smart Guard function, which automatically locks the screen as soon as no use is detected.
Depending on the model, the displays offer 2.8K OLED resolution (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) and are certified with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600. MSI thus delivers high-contrast, color-accurate image quality for office, design and entertainment alike.
Ultra-light and mobile: Prestige 13 AI+
The new Prestige 13 AI+ focuses on uncompromising mobility. It weighs just 899 grams, making it one of the lightest 13-inch laptops with a magnesium-aluminum casing in the world. Here too, the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processor ensures high performance with maximum energy efficiency. Despite its low weight, the model remains robust, elegant and productivity-oriented – an ideal solution for users with frequent business trips.
Modern series: elegance for the mainstream
In addition to the Prestige series, MSI presents the Modern 14S and Modern 16S models, which impress with a high-quality metal housing, soft contours and a particularly slim profile. With a height of just 11.1 mm and weights between 1.4 and 1.7 kg, they offer lightweight mobility with solid features.
Powerful Intel processors, generous battery capacity and flexible upgrade options with two RAM slots make the Modern series versatile. With a price of less than 1,000 euros, MSI is positioning this series as an attractive choice for users who value design, quality and good everyday performance.
