MSI Prestige 14 A12UC-044UK, 14 inches Notebook, Full HD close to 100% sRGB, Intel i5-1240P, Nvidia RTX3050, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB PCIe Gen 4x4 SSD, WiFi 6E, Windows 11 - Carbon Gray

Sleek design with a robust construction. The laptop feels very well built with little flex in the body/chassis/keyboard/etc. Great specs - especially considering the price! Performance is really good - apps load really fast, and the laptop boots to the desktop fairly quickly.The hinge is designed perfectly - you can open it with one hand (without the laptop lifting off the desk) but the screen then doesn't wobble/fall in use (which is often the case for laptops with one handed opening). The hinge lifts the keyboard up to a comfortable, ergonomic angle when opened and allows for the screen to lay completely flat (180 degrees to the keyboard) if you so choose.I achieve 4-5 hours from the battery depending on environmental factors. If you've done your homework and read/watched other reviews, be careful not to confuse this latest model (with the 12th generation processors) with reviews of the older models of this laptop (which looks and is named nearly identically), the majority of the flaws/complaints from these reviews have been resolved (see below) in this, the later model. For example, this, the newer model has a bigger battery and a brighter, 16:10 ratio screen (common complaints on the previous model(s).Only down side so far is the fan - which is a little on the loud side but this is only noticeable in very quiet environments and is perhaps more noticeable to me as I'm upgrading to this from a fanless laptop.Overall for £599 (as reviewed) I really don't think there are any better alternatives on the market for quality and specs and I'm a very fussy and demanding under of IT - I'm fully satisfied and suitably impressed.

Laptop overall feels very good quality.I use this is my secondary computer-Display-The display itself is a 60hz IPS like display, meaning you get very good deep colours. Great for content creation or movie viewing.The speakers are okay for the price, not the best but not the worst.-Power-With the i5 1240p & the (40w) RTX 3050, it is a very capable entry level gaming laptop. Games such as battlefield 2043 on medium/high settings @ 1080p was almost constant 60fps. As this is a laptop that I use for video editing, I was a bit concerned with the limit of the 8 GB of ram, however for small to medium projects on software like premier pro, it works fantastic, I think the higher than average speeds of the ram help this massively.-General computing-For general computing this is absolutely perfect, very snappy and quick, great for YouTube watching, web browsing and general file viewing-ports-With USB C and USB A, you get best of both worlds. Charing through type C is easy and convenient.-battery-I do think they stretch the truth a little with the battery life, but I do think you could get 7-8 hours of use out of one charge.Overall for the price, this laptop is very impressive for its thin and seamless design.

Bought this on Black Friday week so managed to buy it for £600. To note, I bought this laptop for gaming, nothing high spec but just needed decent RAM and a dedicated graphics card.- Firstly, performance-wise, this laptop is exceptional given the price. I couldn't find any other laptops with NVIDIA graphics card, 16GB RAM for anywhere near the price.- Its pretty light and sleek, keyboard and mousepad decent.- Screen display is very vibrant and looks great.Some notable cons:- The speakers are terrible, even when it's up full blast its quieter than an iPhone.- The laptop can get verrry hot if you're using it for gaming. Recently I touched a surface just about the keyboard and it was scolding hot.I've only had the laptop for a couple of weeks but I can't really complain this far. Would recommend if the price goes below 700.

So far nothing I do not like.Easy to set up and I find it really easy to type on. Backlit keyboard is great in low light

Good specs and beautiful finishing. But it's always warm even when it's idle. The fun it's always on even when looked (and my place was cold) . A little use and the top it's clear super warm. Open a game and it starts to lag after a minute.

Bought this laptop to replace my HP Envy 13 which has an i5 10210u processor, Nvidia MX350 graphics and 8 GB Ram.This laptop has great performance but the processor runs at 70 degrees plus at idle with the fans being very audible. Great screen but after a game of Fortnite the laptop was actually too hot to touch near the vent at the bottom of the screen. Testing it on video editing and the cpu begins to thermal throttle. Under said light gaming and other tasks the cpu actually reached 101 degrees.Will be returning for a refund as its too noisy and runs too hot.
