MSI Prestige 14'

Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence. I know this blog is very very very late and I apologize for that. This is my review of the MSI Prestige 14'. It is a very portable 6-core laptop with a GTX-1650    max-q for creative work and gaming. Sometimes, I get super-excited about some products the moment I hear about them. This device is similar in design to the Razer Blade Stealth. Razer Blade Stealth is the smallest laptop in the world. The Razer Blade Stealth is around 1800$ but this one is a lot cheaper, it is for around 1200$. It is the less-expensive version of the Razer Blade Stealth. I think a lot of people will like this device but it is not perfect.





This is a fully-aluminium device. It has a pretty good build quality. It is really good for an MSI device. It does feel like that the bottom-panel has been made with a thinner metal as compared to other devices but it is fine. They have 2 USB-A ports and 2 USB-C. It uses a USB-C to charge. The AC adapter is 90-Watts. It is nice to see a USB-C charging device with G-Force GPU and a pretty powerful CPU. The keyboard and trackpad have the standard MSI layout. It is very easy to get used to. One thing which I don't like about this keyboard is that it doesn't spring up quickly. A lot of people will like the keyboard. The trackpad is pretty big, it has a glass surface and there is a fingerprint sensor on the top-left corner of the trackpad. The screen on this device has two options. There is a 1080p version as well as a 4K panel. It is a really nice screen. It is bright and colour-accurate and if you are into video/photo editing. Now, let's talk about performance, this is running a GTX-1650 max-q as well as a 6th GEN Intel processor and 10th GEN U processor. Now, because it's a 14' device, you have less room to handle the heat produced by this device. It has a single fan to cool the decent GPU and the 6-core CPU. It's running two heat pipes to connect everything together. This system can get hot. It can throttle depending on what you do. Even, if you let the fans get loud it is very difficult for this system to handle the heat. It is really close to being to handle it.





This is advertised as a creator's product. If you are into photo/video editing, this could be a good fit.
But, no matter what you do you will never be able to make this device use the Adobe Premier as nicely as the 15' devices do. You will have good playback performance but when it comes to rendering time there was just a clear deficiency in thermal performance. This system can handle the GPU going full-tilt or the CPU going full-tilt, not together! If you use both of them together, it overheats and that is what video editing is about it needs both of them. Now, here's the thing because it is the only 14' 6-core device, it is hard for me to compare it to any other device. If you compare it to a 15' gaming device it is not as good but I don't think it is a fair comparison. There is another variant of this and that is going to have better thermals but I was less-interested about that thing. Now the 14' device has great components and is more portable. If you want this device just keep in mind that there will be a 15% performance deduction as compared to bigger devices.


There are a couple of things that I don't like about this machine. First, are the ports, it has a decent port selection but the devices don't insert that deep into the port and the other thing is the battery life.
You will get around 6-7 hour battery life which is significantly less than the bigger version.

Apple's AirTags

This blog is to discuss if AirTags really prevent thefts... Misusage So I read a lot of theories on how these tags are actually helping in the thefts. So if you are a thief and stealing a bike with an AirTag, you get a notification on your iPhone and then you can easily disable that. But, it's not so easy. The Tag does not notify you that an AirTag is with you until you reach a landmark. So that the owner knows you stopped at that landmark. Maybe your house, mall or a restaurant. Now there is one problem with this. If I have an AirTag and I plant it in your bag for example. So you won't know something with a GPS is with you giving your location and telling the landmark you are at. So people can track you and that is both scary and creepy. Good or Bad? Eh.. A bit of both. So, it's great if someone is trying to steal your stuff but, it's creepy when someone is stalking your movement. But, this is the first time Apple is doing this so it is not perfect but, I believe it is...

Acer Nitro 5

Hey Guys! Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the 2020 Acer Nitro 5. The cheapest gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen CPUs and up to an RTX 2060 for students and small budgets. This is a 670$ machine. The Acer Nitro Series has traditionally been very inexpensive and people have been interested in this device because of its price but this year they made very significant improvements. First, I am going to talk about some minor issues which you should be aware of. The first issue is the screen but the more important one is the keyboard. The screen is a 60Hz 1080p panel. It is the standard screen you would expect at this price. The colour accuracy is not great but it is okay for the price. My issue is the brightness and when you are playing shooter games, it is not easy to trace people in dim light. The second thing is the keyboard. I personally find it uncomfortable for gaming. I feel that the W, A, S, D keys are very close to the left side of the...

Intel's Trap

 This is my blog to review Acer Triton 300 SE, Asus Dash F15 and MSI Stealth 15M's performance with the Intel H35 chips. I will also talk about the competition between Intel and AMD. Many gaming laptops are coming out, and some of them are good, especially the new AMD ones but if you are looking to buy a laptop and your choice has an Intel chip; You have been fooled! So I am going to talk about some new Intel devices and then about Intel in general. Now I have nothing against Intel, in fact, I myself am typing this on an Intel device. Asus Dash F15 This machine has a 4-core CPU. So, this makes it easy to cool, lighter, thinner, and you would think cheaper. So it is a nice idea. But, Asus didn't make it cheap. So it does not really make sense anymore. This laptop will cost you 1700$, and you can get 8-core Asus devices in that range so why would somebody go for this?  The gaming performance is good as it has RTX 3070, and most of the games will give you a good frame...
