We invite everyone to experience next-gen Ai computing and exciting gaming products at our booth.”
Prestige & Summit Series: Leading Business Productivity
At the forefront of MSI’s launch are the Prestige and Summit series, which are positioned as the industry’s leading Ai+ business and productivity laptops. These laptops are powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, offering up to three times more TOPS than previous generations. This performance is driven by an integrated GPU, CPU, and NPU, delivering up to 120 total platform TOPS of Ai performance, enabling more local Ai software and services.
The Prestige series, available in 13, 14, and 16-inch models, boasts ultra-light bodies, large batteries, and long battery life. The series now features a 5-megapixel webcam, enhancing live streaming and online meeting capabilities. The laptops are available for pre-order from 6 September 2024, with prices starting at AUD 2,699.
Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel’s Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Client Computing Group, highlighted the partnership with MSI, stating, “Intel’s collaboration with MSI has been crucial in co-engineering the Prestige and Summit series.
