MSI Prestige 14: 14'' 4K IPS 500 nits, i7-10710U, 16GB Ram, 1TB PCIe SSD, GTX 1650 MQ, Thunderbolt 3, Win 10 Pro @ $910 + F/S

Full Review Here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI...091.0.html

This is one of the most powerful 14" Ultrabook which weights below 3 lbs and having this level of hardware inside it. The main highlight is its Factory Calibrated 500 Nits 4K IPS display covering 100% Adobe RGB which is missing even in the highest end Ultrabooks costing several hundred more. The average brightness is actually over 500 nits and it has a superb contrast ratio of 1274:1, despite having such high brightness for an IPS panel.
As per NotebookCheck, below is the display properties: -

• Maximum: 567 cd/m² Average: 515.9 cd/m² Minimum: 30 cd/m²
• Brightness Distribution: 86 %
• Center on Battery: 567 cd/m²
• Contrast: 1274:1 (Black: 0.445 cd/m²)
• ΔE Color 1.55 | 0.6-29.43 Ø5.8, calibrated: 1.24
• ΔE Greyscale 1.48 | 0.64-98 Ø6
• Gamma: 2.19

That's a decent review. Seems like a good, compact laptop, but it suffers from some heat issues, which are mentioned by 2 out of 5 of the reviewers on Newegg. I might be tempted by the FHD version because I don't really need 4K. I'll have to keep MSI in mind when I'm ready to buy.

The heat issue is due to the fact that MSI has used a single fan to cool both the CPU and GPU, instead of going for 2 fan design , probably trying hard to keep the weight below 3 lbs. And because of that, the 6 Core i7-10710u is around 10% to 15% slower than the verion of its own 15" Prestige version which is considered to have the highest performance i7-10710U, reaching almost 45W during load.
However, the performance is still great for such a small and ultra light Laptop for its class. Now the 1080P version costs actually higher than this because the Coupon does not work on that model. This panel is not just 4K, it is also extremely color accurate, insanely bright, going over 510 nits and having a very high 1274:1 contrast ratio. Those will make this display really enjoyable even if you don't need that high 4K resolution.

Any care to contrast the OP's MSI with this? Please?

That is posted by me as well an these two devices are not comparable at all. Acer Travelmate P6 is a strictly no-frill Business Laptop with a Quad Core U series CPU and a very basic dedicated Graphics card and a good quality 1080P display. It has much durable build quality and mainly designed for your office and day to day work. Also, it has better selection of ports like multiple USB 3.0, Gigabit Lan which are required for your office works like plugging it to a Lan port in Conference Room.
This one, on the other hand, is a very powerful 14" Laptop mainly designed for professional productivity workloads which are demanding in nature. Photoshop, Video encoding and decoding, code compilation, Encryption related tasks etc. It has a more powerful 6 Core CPU and a pretty powerful GTX 1650 which is good amount faster than entry level MX250. Also, the display is a extremely bright, high resolution and professionally calibrated display designed for high end editing works. You can even game on it at 1080P with mid settings for all modern titles.

Deal is dead . OOS

Already sold out. Bummer.

Good specs but never trust Newegg especially with high priced items. Try to price match with a reputable dealer.

They lost my Acer Predator laptop for $1000 and I had 5 months nightmare to have them refund my money, hours over chat and phone. Very cheap company

Had I be dealing with Amazon they would have refunded it right away and investigate the lost.

Damn, that was gone quick. This laptop literally checked all my boxes for soemthing priced under $1k. Looked like a great portable laptop for on the go editing.

Very slick looking laptop w/ decent hardware spec to boot. But based on your experience, I'd rather avoid newegg for any large purchase.
