FULL STORY ======================================================================

MSI has taken aim at the business market once more with a new range of
laptops for the workplace.

The Commercial 14 series has been announced at this year's Computex with a range of enterprise-focused features including optional security measures,
NFC compatibility and an integrated Smart Card reader.

In a further effort to showcase its environmental credentials, the keyboard deck of Commercial 14 laptops is made from recycled PCR material, and the packaging will be made from 90% recyclable paper.

Models in the Commercial 14 series are set to begin releasing in the second half of this year, along with the Prestige 16 Studio Evo, another high-end enterprise offering. As the name suggests, this is designed for creative professionals, replete with Nvidia RTX GPUs, Thunderbolt 4, a 99Whr battery and the Nvidia Studio platform, which lends a power boost to creative apps. read more

We've liked previous iterations in the Prestige line of laptops in the past, and so we look forward to seeing what this creative-focused 16 inch model can do.

MSI launched another laptop for creatives earlier this year, the Creator Z17 HX, which features Intel's latest i9-13980HX CPU, which is claimed to be the world's most powerful laptop processor. It is tailor-made for video and digital artists, and works with a unique stylus that can actually be used on to write on paper too.

The Creator Z17 was touted by MSI as the first 17 inch touch-screen laptop that worked with a stylus.

The Creator Z17 HX starts at $2,999, while the pricing for the Prestige and Commercial 14 series are yet to be revealed. However, expect them to command similarly high prices, as MSI makes a serious push to compete in the high-end enterprise laptop space. Here are the best mobile workstations right now
