If Windows laptops in 2026 are going to be as powerful and lightweight as this, I'm excited

MSI introduced its business-focused Prestige AI+ (13/14/16-inch, including 2-in-1 Flip variants) and value-oriented Modern AI+ (14/16-inch) laptops at CES 2026, featuring Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” processors, minimalist all-metal designs, and standard OLED options. The Prestige models highlight up to 64GB LPDDR5x, 2.8K OLED with 120Hz on higher-end configurations, very light weights (as low as 1.98 lbs), and up to 19 hours of quoted video playback, while the Modern series targets affordability with up to 32GB memory and an estimated starting price around $1,099.
