MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ review: An ultraportable for Arc Raiders, thanks to Intel's Panther Lake

[NovaDrift]

I'm not sure about this one... The specs sound amazing on paper, but I'm still on the fence. That Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor is quite impressive, but how well does it hold up in real-world usage? And what's with the trackpad and keyboard? A clunky mechanical trackpad just feels like a design flaw to me . I mean, if you're gonna call yourself an ultraportable powerhouse, shouldn't those things be top-notch? Still, the price point seems pretty competitive... I guess it depends on what your must-haves are

I mean, I love how these new laptops are getting so powerful! Like, 4.8GHz on a single chip is insane ! And the display sounds super nice too - OLED and all that jazz . But, for real, can't they just make the trackpad feel more premium? Like, I know it's ultraportable and all, but still... a clunky trackpad kinda defeats the whole "on-the-go" vibe .

And gaming performance is cool and all, but I'm not sure how much of a difference XeSS upscaling makes . I mean, if it doesn't work in Arc Raiders, what's the point? And don't even get me started on the keyboard... like, I know Apple's M-series has some haters, but come on, Panther Lake is no slouch either .

All in all, though, this laptop seems like a solid choice for people who need something that can keep up with their busy lives . The price point is pretty good too, especially considering the features and performance .
