Light and easy to carry.But I want a high -spec PC

First of all, we conducted a hearing to the editorial staff to clarify the current notebook PC assignments and the "ideal notebook PC".

When I heard the story, many complaints came to my laptops, a work tool.

Maruyama: Many high -performance laptops are large and heavy, inconvenient when going out.Since it is increasingly carried around with remote work, it is lightweight but the minimum necessary specifications are now patient.

Tanaka: In image editing and video editing, there is a moment when a notebook PC alone feels that specifications are insufficient.However, I don't want to use a notebook PC outside, and a desktop with high processing capacity at home.

Mizuno: I'm looking for a stylish design, but I'm not balanced with price and performance.It is also difficult to use thin models and have low clinics.

Shimadzu (author): When sharing materials or giving a presentation in an online meeting, PCs often freeze.I feel anxious that he may be bothering the other person.

Each seems to have some dissatisfaction with laptops.

So what are the conditions of the "ideal notebook PC" they think?

Performance, battery drive time, ease of carrying, design ...Now that the opportunities to use work and private use are increasing, the conditions for notebook PCs seem to be higher than expected.

Is there a dream -like laptop that fulfills the "ideal" of such an editorial staff?

So, this time I used the MSI business light creator notebook PC "Prestige-14-A11SC-011JP (hereinafter, Prestige 14 A11)".When I tried it, I found that it was one of the "ideals" that the editorial department wanted.

A notebook PC that stands out for "easy to carry" and "design"

With the spread of remote work, the workplace has become a multiple base, and the opportunity to carry notebook PCs has increased.That's why you want to select a notebook PC while keeping the height of the specifications while focusing on the ease of carrying and design.

"Prestige 14 A11" is a notebook PC with the highest processing power as desktop PCs equipped with the latest 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 MAX-Q design.

Still, 15 by adopting an aluminum alloy panel.Realizes 9mm thinness.Weight is 1.When I picked it up, it was surprisingly light and excellent in portability when I picked it up.

In addition, pay attention to the design.

In the case of a high -specific notebook PC, the rugged impression cannot be denied, but the "Prestige 14 A11" is transparent and stylish.

The surface is gorgeous sandblasting, and a diamond cut design is used for the border.The MSI logo is a chic and elegant design that is not too flashy and fits in the living room at home.

My wife, who was strict with the interior, received a drum, saying, "I don't take more space than a desktop PC and I like the design."

Very active on the go.Charms other than "easy to carry"

My hobby is video editing and photography.When I went out with a "Prestige 14 A11" and a single -lens reflex camera that was suitable for carrying, I saw some useful functions on the go.

The "Prestige 14 A11" display is a 14 -inch full HD (1920 x 1080).In the series, a model equipped with a 4K LCD panel is also available separately, but if you do not shoot at 4K or watch videos, you can experience sufficient expression of non -glare and SRGB equivalent full HD.

Batteries that can be a matter of life and death are also driven for up to 10 hours for a long time, so you can develop photos and retouches on the go with confidence.

Even if charging is going to run out, up to 1 in just 15 minutes.5 hours charging is possible.When you are in a hurry, it is helpful to be able to do the minimum charging quickly!

Furthermore, it is often thought that the body is thin = low expandability, but the "Prestige 14 A11" is equipped with a 2-port standard equipped with a highly expandable Thunderbolt Type-C that supports Power Delivery.

It is also possible to output images to two external monitors at the same time, or charge with a mobile battery that supports high output of 65W or more by USB Power Delivery.Of course, you can connect directly with a single-lens reflex camera with a Type-C cable, and import heavy data such as photos and images on the spot.

On the other side, the microSD card slot that supports high -speed reading and writing, USB3..2 Gen1 Type-A、Hi-Res対応のヘッドホン出力&マイク入力端子が搭載。多様な周辺機器に対応できる厳選された端子類が用意されているので、余計な外付けハブを持ち歩く必要もなく、荷物も減らせそうです。

"Face authentication" and "fingerprint authentication" combine efficiency and security

When you log in to a laptop outdoors, you may be worried about security, "Are you looking at your password?"In this era, data leaks are serious accidents.

However, I want to avoid sacrificing the ease of use, not only to focus on security.The answer to the "Prestige 14 A11" Windows Hello and a fingerprint authentication sensor that answers such selfishly.

When working at home, it is a face authentication, and in a scene where face authentication cannot be used at a mask, such as on the go, login quickly with fingerprint authentication.There is no need to enter a password in a cafe or co -working space where the surrounding gaze is concerned, so you can avoid safety issues.

"Facial authentication" and "fingerprint authentication" are an excellent function that fulfills the convenience and good security of security that adapt to the modern use scene.

High processing ability to handle heavy video editing crispy

Next, we will verify the specifications.

There was a voice saying that "thin and lightweight notebook PCs are not satisfied with the specifications", but "Prestige 14 A11" was one of the best imagination in a good way.

This notebook PC is equipped with a dedicated graphics function NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1650 MAX-Q design suitable for processing images and images.Not only Photoshop and Lightroom, but also the video editing software "Davinci Resolve" were able to work without stress.This is also thanks to GeForce GTX!

My notebook PC had a low GPU ability, stopping during the video editing, or incredibly time to export.She felt the smooth process of "Prestige 14 A11" when she felt "I want to edit more crisp videos", and realizes the comfort of "Oh, this".

"Because it is used only for online surfing and material creation," I realized that the notebook PC was clearly lacked specifications.

In addition, the point that is quick to read by SSD storage is a nice point.Compatible with the latest PCIE GEN4 storage, the data transfer speed is about twice as much as PCIe Gen 3 X4.

When the notebook PC itself was launched and the large -capacity video files were loaded and written, they showed their high performance.

Amazing power that moves multiple software at the same time

Have you ever realized the lack of specifications of laptops at online meetings or online courses?

During the use of online conference tools such as ZOOM, low GPU capabilities will depend on the CPU for the processing of the video, which will cause delay.

In particular, recently, there are more opportunities to take online courses to improve their skills, and to hold online courses if they are creators.

In such a case, if you open ZOOM with video editing software and image editing software open ...You can't compete with a low -spec notebook PC at all.

Therefore, I used the "Prestige 14 A11" equipped with GeForce GTX 1650 MAX-Q design to verify the performance by taking video production online lessons.When I edited the video with "Davinci Resolve" while having a conversation with the instructor at ZOOM, it moved surprisingly crispy.

The other party's time is not wasted due to videos and audio delays, and the course goes smoothly, resulting in a very satisfying result!

"Prestige 14 A11" can easily fulfill the requests such as "I want to do an online course on an online course", "I want to improve my skills in online courses", "I want to make a smooth presentation".

The "ideal form" of the laptop has finally been found

Although it is a notebook PC that can be said to be a modern must -have item, the difficulty of choosing a PC has increased as a result of digital shifting how to work and living.

On the other hand, while using "Prestige 14 A11" this time, I was able to experience the productive time obtained from a high -specific notebook PC.This device is a device that answers requests such as "I do not want to use a desktop PC and a laptop PC" and "balance and specifications and specifications" that came from the editorial staff.

With "Prestige 14 A11", which has the functionality and power that can work, learn and work on hobbies with one unit, aftercona will be flexible.Of course, taking into account the ease of carrying and design, "Prestige 14 A11" is "one you want to choose now".
