Msi Prestige 14 Review: Light But At What Cost

The Lenovo Flex 5 14 is a great 2-in-1 laptop for those who want a powerful machine that’s still portable. This laptop features a fast Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM, which makes it ideal for multitasking and running demanding applications. In addition, it comes with an active pen that makes taking notes and drawing on the screen a breeze. The only downside is the short battery life, but if you’re looking for a powerful 2-in-1 laptop, the Lenovo Flex 5 14 is a great option.

MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020 Laptop Review

The MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020 is a laptop created for those who need a little bit of creativity in their lives. Its design is simple, underisiht and light enough to carry around all day long (almost).

Review

There are two options for you to consider when it comes to laptops. One of them is the Prestige 14 with a core i5 cpu. It’s less expensive than the other option, which has an A10SC CPU, but it isn’t as powerful. So that is why we’re focusing on this laptop instead of the more expensive one.

Strictly speaking, this notebook is a fantastic option for creators looking to stay busy. Equipped with everything you need whether you’re working at your desk or on the go.

Processor

The processor is an Intel Core i5-10210U, which is the 10th generation. This CPU can do everything from lightroom, coding, editing videos to design and many other tasks just as well as an i7 could even though it is a mobile one. Unless you do complex 3D rendering or something of the sort – there shouldn’t be anything wrong with this particular spec if all you’re doing are basic things on your computer such as simple photoshop edits or some typing.

System memory

There is more than enough system memory to meet its needs. A single DDR3 memory stick is soldered to the main board of the MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020. You may be thinking that you could upgrade it, but there isn’t an extra slot available, and so you are limited to the provided 16 gigs worth of system memory. This means that whether you’re doing large amounts of video editing or running programs such as Photoshop or Lightroom, this laptop will work well enough with no glitches – just make sure not to open too many tabs at once!

Storage

Storage space really won’t disappoint. The Prestige boasts a 512 GB Solid State Drive, which goes hand-in-hand with the CPU and RAM for those of us who need plenty of room for storage. A lot depends on how much storage capacity you need – because if you’re needing more than 1 TB of memory, it might be time to invest in an external solution instead. So let’s just say that this machine offers enough space to keep most people happy – but don’t expect too much.

Graphics

In terms of graphics, you must know that the MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020 is not a workstation. It lacks the graphics power of its bigger brothers (the MSI WS65 and the P75 Creator). However, this particular laptop does have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU which can handle some light work for consumers who use their laptops for productivity purposes – such as media creation professionals – or those who play moderately demanding games.

Display

A brilliant 14-inch display with 100% sRGB calibration is included with the MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020. The 1080p Full HD resolution means you don’t have to compromise, sacrificing battery life for more pixels – just the way we like it!

Extra Features

• Extremely thin screen bezels.
• Screen rotates 180-degrees.
• Smart hinge design that lifts the keyboard at a 5 degree angle.
• Creator Center: optimize system resource management.
• 2 Thunderbolt ports: great for high speed data transfers.
• Wi-Fi 6: the latest wireless protocol – 802.11ax.

Portability

In spite of its small size, this laptop weighs only 2.84 pounds or 1.29 kilograms, which makes it easy to carry wherever work takes you next – so long as there is a socket nearby. The battery life does not compare to another top-notch models such as the ASUS Zenbook 15, but for what it lacks in battery power, it makes up for in high-performance capabilities with its integrated graphics card and fast processing speeds.

Conclusion

For our most recent assessment of the MSI Prestige 14 A10SC-020, we awarded it four out of five stars due to two significant flaws. First, this laptop lacks access to upgradable RAM capabilities. Second, despite its smaller size and light weight (due to a more compact design), it only has slightly longer battery life than similar laptops in this price range.

Other than those two minuscule problems, the MSI Prestige 14 is one of the best laptops for creators, at least when it comes to moderate work. It’s better than your average laptop on the market today and even offers high-end features but lacks a few nifty things from its competitors that make it worth skipping if you’re willing to pay just a little bit more money.
