With the Tiger Lake generation, Intel is trying to close the performance gap to AMD, which was long overdue.
However, the plan has only been partially successful. While graphics performance makes a big leap forward in the case of the Core i7-1185G7 (Iris Xe Graphics G7), the relationship between the processor performance and the cost is still better with AMD. In the corresponding price range, the main competitor already offers octa-core processors with 16 threads instead of quad-core ones with eight threads, which rewards certain applications with a significantly higher performance. In addition, the AMD models are more energy-efficient (lower heat development, higher battery life).
MSI has successfully created a nice all-rounder for on-the-go use here.
Otherwise, MSI has focused more on the mobility aspect than on the professional aspect. The port range and maintenance/upgrade options (soldered RAM) fall victim to the compact and light case. The quality of the webcam and the speakers could also be criticized. In return, the Prestige 14 Evo scores points with a stylish design and a large touchpad, among other things.
Price and availability
The MSI Prestige 14 Evo is currently available in the A11M-005 configuration (i7-1185G7, Iris Xe, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD) for around 1,300 Euros (~$1,580) at Notebooksbilliger.de and Amazon.de, among others.
