Strong multitasking performance is one thing, but a premium Windows laptop can’t truly compete with Apple’s MacBooks if it doesn’t offer an all-day battery life, too.

The Prestige 14 Flip AI+ has that in the bag. As I’m writing this, it just surpassed the 24-hour mark in our video rundown test.(I’ll update this review with its final runtime in the very near future.) It outlasts every MacBook and nearly every other Windows laptop we’ve ever tried except for the HP OmniBook 5 14 with Qualcomm’s original Snapdragon X Plus chip, which is an extreme outlier.

Only one Intel-powered Windows laptop that we’ve tested in the past two years has surpassed the 20-hour mark. (Models with those Snapdragon X series chips have generally had more stamina.) That would be the $1,550 Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition, which died after 23 hours and 34 minutes. Notably, the Yoga 9i only got a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 10,765 with its intel Core Ultra 7 258V chip.

As for the last-gen (Arrow Lake) laptops that do offer similar performance: None of them lasted for more than 14 hours.

Final thoughts: Is the MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ worth it?

This is one of the most worth-it laptops I’ve ever tested – a beautiful and well-made machine with nice specs,plenty of RAM and storage,and uncompromising stamina and computing power. It’s a stellar all-rounder, a legit MacBook competitor, and a can’t-recommend-enough buy for professionals, remote workers, and content creators.

I reserve the right to edit my final rating for it once I finish my battery life and GPU benchmarks. But at present, the Prestige 14 Flip AI+ earns an overall score of 4.8/5, making it the highest-scoring laptop we’ve reviewed since overhauling our laptop testing methodology.

What a way to start the year.Good luck, everyone else.
