MSI launches Prestige 16 AI+ and Flip AI+: Breakthrough with Intel Panther Lake chips and Arc B390 graphics.
The new MSI Prestige 16 laptop series features the most powerful Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor, a 2.8K OLED display, and an MSI Nano Pen with a dedicated Copilot button.
At CES 2026, MSI officially revamped its high-end laptop line with the introduction of two new models: the Prestige 16 AI+ and the Prestige 16 Flip AI+. This is a strategic move by the company to capitalize on the wave of AI laptops, with comprehensive upgrades in both processor and integrated graphics capabilities.
Powered by Intel Panther Lake-H architecture and Xe3 graphics.
Both new laptops in the Prestige 16 series can be configured with up to the Intel Panther Lake-H Core Ultra X9 388H, the most powerful processor in the thin and light segment today. The most notable feature is the integrated Arc B390 graphics core based on the Xe3 architecture, promising superior image processing and AI performance compared to the previous generation.
To meet the demanding display needs of professional users, MSI equips both versions with a 2.8K resolution OLED panel. This ensures high color accuracy, absolute contrast, and an impressive visual experience for both work and entertainment.
Differences in the Prestige 16 Flip AI+ version
While the standard AI+ version focuses on pure performance, the Prestige 16 Flip AI+ version offers maximum flexibility with its flip-and-fold design. It supports the next-generation MSI Nano Pen stylus, a unique accessory with a dedicated Copilot button, allowing users to quickly activate Microsoft's AI assistant while drawing or writing.
