Notebookcheck is always somehow biased... it's hard to get consistent ratings / pros / cons from them but they do a good job with testing so make your own conclusions. Many of the pros / cons are listed for 1 laptop and not listed for another.  One example of this is the RAM for this laptop listed as a con for not being user upgradable, but is NOT listed as a con for the Dell XPS even though they are the same exact cpu/memory setup.

Thanks for this review! It was the most professional review I found about this little laptop. I was searching for a lightweight laptop to run Linux with minimum 32 GB RAM. MSI Prestige 13 AI checked all boxes I was looking for, but I was worried about its support under Linux having relatively new components in it. Finally I made the purchase, and it runs well for me: everything works I tested (e.g. WiFi, Audio, Power profiles, even fingerprint reader) out of the Box on Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-35-generic). Fan noise is not audible for me, I always run on Power Saver profile which is all good for my use case (vscode, flutter, browsing). Battery tests (with xnee mouse circling) shows 11:15 runtime with WiFi on. I used the machine on a 10 hours flight most of the time (same usage profile as mentioned above) and the capacity remained is ~30%. On suspend it would stay on for ~25 hours starting from 100%. Two notes: - Initially WiFi stopped working after waking up from suspends. Fixed by few lines script after little googling. - Mute Mic works (F5 key), but LED indicator is not.

Thank you for the review! As a user of this laptop, I wonder whether your test conditions under MSI AI Engine has had a negative impact on its performance. The AI mode (MSI Center version 2.0.32.0) behaves abnormally (it can switch to performance mode when I open a word document, for example). So I would have rather chosen more "traditional" power profiles + the corresponding windows power settings to conduct the test. Also, MSI rather frequently updates its BIOS. In idle, this device now does not ramp up its fan as much as it used to.

i like the fact they are trying, but M3 air at half the power consumption runs geekbench better. 75Wh for 13 inch is huge, that's where its battery life is coming from, not from efficiency. but overall looks like a nice-ish all-rounder laptop
