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.

OnePlus 9 - You HAVE to settle

This is a review of the OnePlus 9 and its comparison to the OnePlus 9 Pro and 8 Pro. This blog also includes discussion related to the missing OIS in OnePlus. Hardware There is a lot to like about this phone. I love the fact that it has a flat-screen and this was going to be my preferred phone instead of the 9 Pro but that may have changed. So the speakers are as good as the 9 Pro ones. They are not as good as gaming phones but, they're good. There is a solid 7-8 hours of battery life. There is a wireless charger but, with less but, still enough power. The battery is much more consistent than the battery on 9 Pro because of the high refresh rate in the Pro version. The Problem So I was sure that the OnePlus 9 camera was going to as good as the 8 Pro if not better. But, for some reason, OnePlus decide to remove optical image stabilization. This may sound very small but, the difference is huge and every OnePlus phone has had it till this one. Which 730$ does not have OIS. I am really...

17' Razer Blade Pro 2019

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This laptop is SO much better than the previous blade pro. The thermals are crazy good. I would say that it is their best gaming laptop with awesome thermal performance. This laptop is brand new from this year, It is completely redesigned. It is their most expensive, most powerful and the most big-screened gaming laptop and it's a nice looking unit. I like this laptop a lot, however, there are some things which I want you to know if you're interested in picking this thing up! 1) Hardware The build of this device is very similar to the build of the 15' this year. It's got the same kind of design, shape, the light-up snake logo up front. It is very much an updated Razer product. I highly recommend you for getting a case or skin it if you buy a black one because even with very safe handling this device sometimes has dents and they are very much visible on a black one.         This laptop is obviously big...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+

 Hey Guys, Welcome back to Interesting Intelligence! This is my review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+. iPad's competitor? If you would have asked me some time before that "Which is the best tablet", I would have undoubtedly said "iPad Pro", but now we have competition! Samsung Galaxy S7+ is surely the best android tablet and a toe-to-toe competitor of the iPad. It is, in fact, the more practical choice for many people. The hardware specs on this thing are solid! There are two speakers on each side of the tablet and this thing is awesome for anything which has something to do with audio! Screen, Pen and Keyboard. S7+ has a 120Hz panel and because it has a high refresh rate, things look superfluid. I have said before that refresh rate should not be a major reason to buy a smartphone but it definitely is in tablets because of the electronic pen. The pen on this device is also up to the point. There are only 7 milliseconds of latency. The pen magnetically sticks on ...
