- Lisa Gade reviews MSI’s new 15” laptop for creators, the Prestige 15. It’s also available with similar specs in a smaller 14” size as the Prestige 14. We look at the high end model with a 6 core Intel 10th gen Comet Lake CPU, NVIDIA GTX 1650 Max-Q dedicated graphics, 4K matte wide gamut IPS display, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD storage. The laptop sits in between Ultrabooks and mobile workstations/gaming laptops in terms of performance, and is thinner and lighter that some of the competition. Battery life is a plus here, as is the comfy keyboard.

7:19 Correction, I was told by MSI Customer Support that the HDMI supports up to 4K 60FPS.
When your aunt is a tech youtuber instead of a Nokia user
It is futile to resist Lisa's charm and dry wit in presenting the most thorough and objective reviews of laptops and related technology.
Calm down, grandpa!
Lol, i love how she said msi si “aesthetically challenged” 😂
Found one for $1200 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the review
The biggest disadvantage on this laptop is that the drive PCIe controller dedicated for the M2 SSDs are just NVME 3rd generation x 2 , so we can not take advantage of the high speed SSDs with link width of x 4 . The fans are "helicopters" on big load
Love you Lisa. Honest unbiased reviews. Great convincing voice.
Best tech review I've seen on TH-cam!
I bought this, could not be happier 😁😁
Love your tech reviews Lisa. You rock!
Finally one of these with 32gb of ram! I'm so into the Lenovo Yoga C940, especially with that integrated stylus, but it caps at 16gb (soldered)... Might just have to get this one with an xp-pen if I decide to get back into drawing! Thanks for the wonderful review Lisa ;)
If you're willing to spend that much and like to use the pen, you should look for laptops with high refresh rates. IPad Pro has 120 Hz that's the reason it has the best stylus experience on any tablets. C940 uses 60 hz and the stylus experience won't be any different from any laptop in the past with 60 hz display.
Do you own yoga c940? How is its performance regarding gaming?
Curious how you and just josh have very different experiences with the keyboard and fan noise. One would think these things would be universally acceptable. Goes to show how personal most of these products are.
Mobile Tech Review, You Rock!!! 🔥🔥🔥Huge Fan 🔥🔥🔥Looking forward to watching your next video.
Gorgeous laptop! Perfect for light gaming and casual use.
I love matte screens, are there any 2-in-1 touch-screens that are matte? I'd love some suggestions for good-value convertibles to look for in black friday sales - something upgradeable and with decent colour accuracy and pen input.
Thanks. I found a 4k display one with max specs on newegg for ~$1500, pretty good deal considering what hardware it has. This meets my needs pretty closely, I'm a web application developer that occasionally plays stuff like Minecraft & Dwarf Fortress.
Whoa looks great as always!
Another great review, as always. Thank you!
I love ir reviews. Thanks!
Great review! Besides speakers, this checks every box for a light 15-incher. I'm just hesitating because of the iffy durability. Also too bad the FHD isnt brighter but with the big battery + U-series CPU I'd be willing to try the UHD.
2:15 - The display quality is *_insane_* it looks like a framed picture! And everyone knows filming a screen greatly degrades image fidelity and quality - not in this case!
Can't wait to see your review for the new Macbook pro 16"...
Another great video! Love your shirt.
@Lisa - Love your channel. Can't wait for your LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen phone review.
The laptop looks nice, but be warned that MSI laptops suffer from the (plastic) hinges breaking...
No, they don't. I had an older GT series model. No issues.
@@dknystylez I hear of them breaking all the time. My favorite laptop reviewer bought MSI raider half a year ago, everyone warned him about hinges, he didn't care. But then a few months later his laptop hinges broke lol. He was lucky the laptop was still under warranty.
@@TabalugaDragon could be from rough usage? My msi was 5yrs old and was still going strong. I'll roll the dice, because this is probably the best all rounder laptop currently available. Just hope there's a sale in the coming weeks.
@@dknystylez MSI used to make really good hinges, now they are garbage. I also have an 8 year old MSI CX 640 and it's hinges are in perfect condition, but in modern MSI laptops hinges pretty much scream unreliable. I had an Acer laptop with the same hinge design and a hinge broke after just 1 year. I was using it normally, not roughly.
I do like this MSI prestige though, and I wanna get a similar laptop in the future, or something like Eluctronics MAG 15, but with mid-range graphics like gtx 1650
I have the msi gs65 rex 2060 and I won't trade it for nutting is really good build
What about single core performance, is it powerful enough ? for music production we don't need too many cores, but we need enough power in each in every single cores.
here in my country, in Asia, no sales I ever seen from laptop brands. this laptop is like less than 60% the price compared with these 2.
the fact that it has 1080p version ~1400$ does help those are not "content creators" that still need power and mobility for their laptops.
I have one question for anyone who can answer. So the HDMI port will only transfer 30fps to an external monitor? Disappointing, is there any way around that? - As I am a video editor and want to edit slowmo on my external monitor, what should I do...
Help me guys
Are msi laptops good?
Can you review the MSI Alpha 15 ?
I love your channel
You should be able to get 4k 60Hz out of this using the DisplayPort 1.2 capability of its Thunderbolt 3, even thought the HDMI is limited to 30Hz. Currently, the MSI Prestige 15 selling at Costco has Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 1.4, to get you 4k at 60Hz irrespective of any HDMI limit.
I'm surprised that this MSI laptop can be easily upgradable. In the past you had to rip out the a lot of stuff in order to upgrade. 👍
I bet this laptop is a beast and thermally awesome if you took time to undervolt both the CPU and GPU. I would love another review with those thing done properly
Dave Lee did this with the 14 inch version. It worked well as it reduced thermals.
t-shirt is pretty cool, as always :)
Yeeeeeees! Thanksgiving came early
Would you prefer this over the razer blade stealth 13?
Brilliant video Lisa & love your TeeShirt, has the squirrel taken over from your lovely cat ?
Who tf already disliked?

Hating is a full time job 😂 but LISA IS THE BEST! ❤
tiestofalljays Someone once responded to that question saying they used the dislike button on every video to keep TH-cam from prompting them to watch it again. Seemed like kind of a jerk move, but the TH-cam algorithm reportedly treats likes and dislikes the same (both represent viewer engagement, as far as they’re concerned), so hopefully it doesn’t affect the channel. I’ve heard that a certain number of dislikes can be expected from people on mobile hitting the wrong button without realizing it, too.
Nick Kordich I clicked on the video and someone had disliked only 50 seconds after it was uploaded haha
I did. because she said that 45 watt CPU-s perform 40% faster. Watch comparison of i7 10710u and 9750h on JarrodTech Channel. It's more like 10-15%, very small difference. And course this laptop needs to be tested in Turbo mode when you want max performance. No one's gonna render video or play a game at balanced profile
MSI Prestige 15 or Acer Aspire 7?
Thank you for the review, I needed this😂
I was expecting more for gaming use.
Aside from weight and battery (and aesthetics), what else would I be losing when opting for gaming laptop over MSI prestige with the same gpu?
Is GTX 1050 still reliable for triple A games at least for the next 5 years?
You wouldn't choose the same GPU if you wanted a gaming laptop.
dknystylez I'm worried that 1050, 1060 won't be good for the next 2-3 years. And there's a few gaming laptops that come with 1660 ti max q or the more popular 1650 max q. So gpu-wise p15 should hold well but from reviews, even this video, it's barely on par with entry level gaming with same gpu. So I'm wondering is it the CPU, and not the gpu holding it back or other factors.🤷🏻♀️
@@cabbage2794 the 1650 isn't really a gaming GPU, but you can play triple A titles at medium settings with decent frame rates. It's a lot better than the 1050 you mentioned. The 1660ti will be your best bet if you want something to be able to play graphic intense games on ultra settings.
dknystylez yeah, but gaming isn't my going to be primary use. Probably just going to play one or two games at any one time. Just have to decide my priorities but I'm really leaning towards p15.
Did you have a chance to test out MSI's Modern 15 series? It's a more affordable alternative to the Prestige 15, but I'm curious if the feel of the materials for the chassis, touchpad, and keyboard are cheaper?
Don’t like how the exhaust is blocked by the screen
its not, every thin and light blows up at the screen, as long as theres a gap ot has a way out
Bought 1080p version, I'm very happy with the LCD panel. Don't like the speakers tho.
How would you describe its performance so far? What's your experience on heat management, battery life, etc? I'm hoping to get the 1080p display to replace my aged HP Elitebook.
What screen panel is there inside?
Same
In 500 years Lisa will be the Messiah of a highly developed religion that takes these videos as its text. Academics will debate different interpretations of 'The Channel' and the religion's 'Subscribers' will be called MobileTechnologists who 'review' their life every Sunday morning (starting with the words "we're gonna look at it now") in order to be better, happier, kinder people. She's literally doing God's work and I'm so here for it
This has to be the most creative compliment I've received in a decade on TH-cam :)
@@mobiletechreview i think it looks like the beginning of a cult
You got it men hahaha
Thanks for the interesting review! I wonder if you tried a "Comfort" settings on this laptop, from what I've read they improve thermals and I wonder whenever they seriously affected performance when using creative tasks? As 90+ seems a bit concerning to me...
they finally added 2 thunderbolt 3! My one doesn't even have 1
theres very little purpose to that port, and the cords are expensive as hell
@@bradhaines3142 "little purpose"? LOL
@@imho4990 yeah, only 2 things i know of even touch 40gigs throughput. eGPU which are a complete waste of money, and external storage which is expensive and not usually backwards compatible. both of those usually have a dock, and docks i guess could be a 3rd thing but those dont necessarily use 40gigs, more likely use the 100w than the 40gig bandwidth
@@bradhaines3142 upon research, an egpu is actually not a bad idea to be able game like a desktop setup. The boxes themselves are ridiculously expensive like you said. But there is some feasibility to them, it all depends on the person's situation.
@@dknystylez 'like a desktop setup' problem is, when all is said and done you turn a laptop into a desktop, but with a smaller screen and worse keyboard
for the same price as a proper desktop setup
I pray the 14 will also be reviewed. Thanks 🍰
Yes please :)
No need, all y ou need to know is, same in everything except small, but also much poorer cooling.
Hi Lisa, Which model from MSI Creators is the best model for editing video with Davinci Resolve and compose music with Cubase and Reason?
Is very confusing all the lineup of MSI P65...
Having a RTX gpu is not better for Davinci Resolve?
I'm not extreamly familiar with Davinci Resolve, but based on my experience, the newer the GPU tech, and the higher the VRAM the better the editing is.
Do you think Prestige 15 is suitable for animation software usages?
Please make a review for the new asus zenbook flip 15
Thank you
Looks pretty beastly, 64gb ram is already a huge selling point
great, of course the 14 only goes up to 32gb ram :/ numpties
its just a BIOS thing really, either way it just has 2 slots. crazy they're making 32gb dimms now
is the hinge of this msi laptop plastic or metal
Plastic like the rest
I'm more interested in the MSI Modern 14" with the MX250. But I wonder if both RAM slots are upgradable still.
Pretty sure it's soldered on.
RAM is soldered on highest spec model (with 1650 Max-Q). In MX250 and IGP version of Prestige 14 RAM is upgradable (only 1 slot though)
Lisa is great!
Can I get this in the same white that I can get on the 14?
I'm looking at this over a Macbook Pro upgrade. Pretty much Lr and Ps and TH-cam watching. Coming from a first gen 15.6 retina pro. I haven't watched anything on the new 16'' out yet but at a starting point of 2999.00 - looking at different alternatives.
Look into Asus's ZenBook Pro line up or this higher end of the Dell XPS's.
Would you also be reviewing the 14 inch model? My concern about it being that it has a much smaller 57 watt-hour battery, and it looks pretty chunky in photos.
Dave Lee has a review on his channel.
Only 1 fan and worse battery/performance
Indeed the 14 inch is way worse
I am on the lookout for a nice portable laptop for school and travel. For school I am using c sharp and the ms office, also gonna use it for browsing and some gaming(stellaris, grim dawn, age of wonders 3 and games like that) and ofc movies.
Does this one tick all the right boxes?
As long as they aren't graphically intensive, any of the laptops she had mentioned in this video would be great. Dell typically has better casing and comparable prices, and if you aren't looking for color accuarcy I'd recommend the XPS.
Interesting laptop.
Watching this review on my MSI prestige 15. Feels strange..
How do you like it? For video editing and music production?
@@IguanoTwix6942 It's good for its price point. it is not as good as high end one but its more than just good.
@@Bishalkarn do you experience excessive fan noise while on idle or browsing web and watch youtube videos and so on?
@@berkandemir4220 No, not yet. It's surprisingly quite.
Sorry MSI - nice notebook - except I'm creating content on SD-cards - not micro-SD.
It comes with a free USB C hub that includes a full size SD card.
And you can just plug a Micro-Sd to Sd in your cam or whatever you use
Would I be able to play age of empires definitive edition with it?
@Bubz of Steel and even then you'll still only get 25 fps at best
would you choose this over the Thinkpad x1 extreme gen2? I'm really into the thinkpad but is open to options. Want a laptop for zbrush use, 3D modeling stuff and some light gaming.
Then get a laptop that has a dGPU and a 45 watts cpu. Forget this one, cuz this one uses 15 watts cpu, you'd notice lag in your 3d modelling apps.
sky lake, comet lake, crater lake? makes sense to me
Wow I would love this laptop. I’ve been attracted to what msi is putting out
i was hoping this would be the Windows answer to my portable 4k video editing needs and an alternative to a Macbook Pro 13" but it seems I may have to look at XPS 15 or something like AERO 15 instead since I'm worried it might not have enough horsepower.
The screen brightness on my prestige 15 is extremely dim, I've gone through all the settings and can't seem to improve this
00:47 Don't. Drop. It!
Will the 4K panel affect in any or other way to the GPU performance for games or video edition in comparision with the 1080P panel in both laptops, since 4K panel has much more pixels to work with? is it worth to have a 4K screen in this laptop?
Haha I understand the joke on the shirt! I think...
Hope You Do review on MSI P75 9SF (i9-9880H 32GB RTX2070)
Is there a decent enough boost to battery life if you opt for the 1080p screen over the 4K screen?
Typically 1080p is going to be less intense on any battery than 4k. The amount of pixels is significantly reduced. That being said the 4k screen will be more color accurate and provide higher amounts of detail. I am curious of reducing the 4k screen to a 1080 resolution on the software side will reduce this. Based off of the size of this screen alone Id recommend gaming in 1080p as it wont be very noticable in most cases.
Love that shirt Lisa!👌🏾
Hi! Just wanted to know your opinion about the other MSI Modern 14 A10RB for content creation? Is it good for adobe editing apps like photoshop and premiere? Thanks!
so if i was getting the same price for both, would you recommend this or the XPS 7590 more? with same specs and same price
It all comes down to oled vs ips, battery life too is huge difference, max q vs no max q but as both are very low power anyways
I7 is TDP Upped to 25W
What is the best laptop for montage and graphics at $ 1,000?
How does it do with games like Minecraft, Fortnite, stormworks, American truck simulator, and roblox? Just curious! It looks like a good fit but I’m not certain!
Was it a good fit
I've heard from many people that there is a constant fan noise on this laptop, even when idling but is barely noticeable apparently. Anyone have any firsthand experience of this?
What's your opinion MSI modern 15 with i3 10110u? Approx. 720 usd.
how long will it be good for general use? e.g. office, zoom, Google Earth, etc.and not 8 but 16 GB of RAM
Does it come with a squirrel on a fence?
Lisa if you have an option between misi gs65 rtx 2060 or this one wish one would you choose?
Do you know if your Window Hello camera was operating on the 15? For some reason I can't get mine to work :/
hows the hinge?
Hi, is this also well usable for 3D-Modelling like in Rhino and Fusion 360 or would you rather recommend a gaming notebook like the Lenovo Y540-15 with max configuration.
Can this laptop MSI prestige 15 handle 3d modelling
I had one of that, 4K. The issue was: with the original power cable plugged, the battery consumes about 6% in 1 hour under the performance setting with screen off (connected to the external monitor via the hub coming with the package)
I've heard of this issue before with some cases. I would like to ask, were your drivers up to date? And were you displaying it on an external screen.
David Lavoie at least there was nothing left in windows update to download. And the version was the newest as well. I was projecting it on second display only.
David Lavoie also, their management software didn’t detect any newer driver either. I consider it to be the updated machine.
@@sabastiantseng Ill try it on an external display when I get mine. It doesn't surprise me that it drains, but I assume its due to overwatting the CPU in preformance mode.
Can anyone try to install hackintosh to this laptop?
why micro sd instead of sd on a big 15" chassis ?
@Bubz of Steel this is not a gaming laptop or a business laptop it is a content creation laptop with video and photo editing in mind, the problem is that most cameras have sd card and not micro sd
4K is probably too heavy for a GTX 1650 Max Q
For gaming, yes. For editing, no. 4k is useless on these screen sizes for most users. Most people always want the best of the best so they choose the 4k option.
Hi,
How do you find the camera in it, i find it blurry. Not sure if it is just in my P15 or every P15. Please reply
Is it good for designer ?
Nice Shirt
Can I play squad on ultra settings or Arma 3 on ultra settings with this laptop
hey Lisa, which one do you think is better? The msi prestige 15 or the Razer blade 15?
I'm not going to be using it for games but bringing it to uni for renderings, Photoshop, 3d design etc
If you aren't hooking up to an external display, I'd recommend the 4k version of the MSI 15 inch. The color accuracy is going to be very crucial, especially since you dont have to purchase a configurator.
@@davidlavoie5887 ah, I'll have a look at the 4k model as well as it's price haha. Thanks tho
How is the display for a fullhd?
So what is the screen ratio?
I like it has 2 slots of RAM and M.2, why isn't it more frequent in gaming laptops?
gigabyte has 2 or 3 m.2 slots depending on the size. thats the reason i got my aero 15x, it was one of few that had 2 m.2 slots from the start. really glad i did since i put 2tb in the 2nd slot and both drives are almost full. i still have the option of getting a 2tb in the first slot for a total of 4, which at this rate may be necessary
Will android studio run well without heat or noise issues?
Well, does android studio demand a lot of CPU usage? That should answer your question...
Very good so far. It launches AS very fast and it build small projects instantly. Fans usually stay on the same level unless the cpu goes over 70C and then they start ramping up slowly, but they quickly go back to around 50-60C with AS+Emulator+browser running. Idle temps are nice, usually 35-55C at most when on charger. Cpu performance is pretty much identical to an i7 9750H, not sure why Lisa didn't even bright that up in this review.
You look and sound just like Leslie Winkle from the Big Bang Theory lol. Nice review👍
