Prestige 16 EVO 16" QHD+ 165Hz Laptop: Intel Core i9-13900H, Intel Iris Xe, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, MicroSD Card Reader, Win 11 Pro: Urban Silver A13M-408US

As the title says, this is an excellent laptop, but there are a few cons. My last few laptops have been 13"-14" for portability, schoolwork, etc. I am no longer in school, and I regularly do a lot of productivity work such as excel on my laptop. I wanted a laptop that was a bit more powerful with a much bigger display.I will list the major pros and cons here, with a more detailed review below:PROS:DisplayBattery LifeKeyboardPerformanceI/O PortsDesign/Thin/WeightBuild Quality16" screen, but still portableCONS:60hz Refresh RateTrackpadI bought this laptop a few months ago and I’m very happy with it. This laptop runs Windows 11 smoothly and handles all the tasks I need it to do, including browsing the web, editing photos and videos, and productivity work such as large excel files. It has a sleek design, a bright and colorful display.I only have one negative thing to say about the display and that is the 60hz refresh rate. I assumed the display refresh rate was 120hz, as every single one of the other 15 laptops on my list were at least 120hz or higher. That was very disappointing. The refresh rate was not listed anywhere unlike most other laptops.... now I know why. Very irritating, but far from a deal breaker because the rest of the laptop is so nice.The keyboard is comfortable with soft keys and a good typing experience. The keyboard also includes a number pad to the right. There is no flex AT ALL on the keyboard, as it is extremely sturdy and well built. The trackpad is extra-large and responsive, but it is off center to the left, which I hate. There is not enough room for my left hand to the left of the trackpad while typing, but I have large hands so this will not be an issue for everyone.The battery life is also impressive, but it certainly is not ground-breaking. The battery life of this laptop should not be compared to a 13"-14" laptop. However, the battery life will be much better from previous models due to the new intel core ultra processors.The speakers are loud and clear, and the webcam is decent for video calls.One of the biggest selling points is that this laptop has plenty of ports, including 1x USB-A, 2x Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, 1x HDMI, 1x full size SD card reader, and a headphone jack.The laptop can get a bit warm and noisy under heavy load, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me. Like I said before, it is still a significant improvement from the previous generation of intel processors.For being a 16" powerful laptop, it is EXTREMELY thin, lightweight, and portable. It feels extremely sturdy as well.Overall, this is a great laptop for anyone looking for a portable and powerful device that won’t break the bank. I highly recommend it.

I'm very pleased with the laptop overall. It could have used at least one more USB-A port so I'm going to have to invest in USB hub or docking station. After receiving the laptop I discovered that if I had ordered it from MSI directly I would have gotten a free MSI 2nd gen Docking Station for the same price as Amazon's. It would be nice if Amazon would retroactively match the MSI store's free docking station promotion.
