Intel’s Panther Lake processors haven’t even been fully unveiled yet, but MSI has already showcased a whole host of laptops based on them. Interestingly, this was at a joint event with Intel itself.
Holding the event in New York, MSI showcased numerous laptops from its Prestige 2026 lineup, all built on the Core Ultra 300. MSI didn’t reveal the names or specifications of specific CPU models.
The series will feature the new generation of Intel Panther Lake processors, modern OLED displays, and a significantly redesigned design. Compared to the current generation, MSI Prestige laptops will feature a softer design thanks to rounded corners. The manufacturer has also added a recess in the front of the metal chassis, which could presumably be used to house Wi-Fi antennas. The backlit keyboard and large touchpad remain largely unchanged.
The new laptops’ cases are made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, ensuring their light weight. According to MSI, the Prestige 13 will weigh less than one kilogram. The Prestige 14 will weigh approximately 1.4 kg, and the Prestige 16 approximately 1.6 kg. All three laptops are identically thin at 13.9 mm. All models will presumably feature OLED touchscreens that also support stylus input.
