The MSI Prestige 15 A10SC notebook lets you create to your heart's content. The MSI Prestige 15 notebook has been designed to be both powerful and elegant. It is a complete creative tool, designed to meet your professional needs.
The MSI Prestige 15 A10SC-215XFR offers high performance and fast operation thanks to its Intel Core i7-10710U processor, its 8 GB of DDR4 memory, its 512 GB M.2 PCIe SSD and its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (Max-Q format) graphics chip!
The Prestige series notebooks feature the 10th generation Intel Core i7 processors, known as Comet Lake. Thanks to their low power consumption and 6 cores, they provide excellent mobile performance and fit perfectly into a compact chassis.
The GTX 16 series graphics cards feature the Turing architecture via the 12nm TU117 GPU. Designed for gamers looking for top-notch graphics performance without breaking the bank, the world-renowned Geforce GTX series is back! This new iteration, aptly named the "16 series", is here to delight gamers.
To ensure an improved working experience, the hinges of the Prestige Series notebooks allow the keyboard to be slightly raised at an angle of 5° and give it a perfect position for comfortable typing. The 1.5 mm keystroke distance makes the keyboard even more comfortable and precise. With the white LED backlighting, you can work perfectly in a dark environment.
The exclusive Cooler Boost 3 technology ensures efficient cooling with 2 fans and 3 heatpipes that will keep the Prestige 15 at the right temperature even when it's under load.
This laptop comes with FreeDOS, a basic operating system, leaving you the option of installing a compatible operating system (either already owned or purchased separately). The installation of Windows 10 64-bit is recommended, to allow you to exploit all the possibilities offered by this laptop. Windows 7/8/8.1 cannot be installed on this model.

Product referenced on 2 Dec 2019
it's my work tool so I use it every day.
some keys on the keyboard are starting to fade (ctrl and left shift) ... after 18 months ... disappointing
2 keys don't work anymore : echap and left shift .... after 18 months ... pathetic for a laptop at this price
It's a pity because I'm a loyal customer of the brand and very happy with everything else
The Prestige 15 has a very nice, modern and sober look, whereas MSI has a lot of gamer looking models that are less suitable for a student. This model is very nice and powerful.
Strengths: The PC is extremely light and portable, the finish is superb. The processor is powerful. I would only recommend it if you only use it for light work (light years ahead of a Macbook for example, at the same price).
Weaknesses: This PC is NOT A GAMER PC, overheats to 95° at the slightest effort (you can cook an egg on the PC), the graphics card is insufficient for certain uses - advanced video processing. The battery is shamefully poor, lasting only 2 hours at most for very modest office/web use. The sound card of this PC is simply ridiculous, an absolutely HORRIBLE sound, especially for a PC that claims to be "for creators", obligation to use headphones or headphones (do not imagine enjoying a good movie with this PC). The charger is short and is not folded at the PC input, so it can be damaged quickly if you force it to fold. And the fact that there is no Windows by default is frankly a real pain, you have to install Windows and then all the drivers, especially for the graphics card...
Conclusion: rather expensive for the configuration of the PC but difficult to find much better for this featherweight and this high-end finish. On the other hand, if you are looking for power, you are not in the right place.
For its design and power the price is fair, good battery that can last about 10 hours in 720p and 1080p video playback without heating up and leaving the fans off, even more than 15 hours if you optimize it well.
The 1650 max-q is sufficient for relatively greedy software/games and heats up quickly.
Scheduling the use of the shared and dedicated graphics card can help save battery power on some applications.
The sound of the hp's is very good without being too high pitched.
The quality of the screen is superb with good settings for personal use.
The pluses:
Good battery (with or without optimization)
The colour of the screen is very good.
-light
good cpu/gpu coupling regardless of use
The minuses :
-tends to heat up very quickly
Bought this laptop as a replacement for a tower, it is incredibly powerful! Coupled with 32GB of RAM, virtualization doesn't scare it, and neither does gaming with an eGPU on the side!
The + :
Metal finish (except for the bottom of the laptop)
Nice keyboard and a large PAD
The 2 RAM slots
The cons :
Heats up quickly when charging (buying a cooler will correct this)
The charger provided by MSI is a bit short
Thanks again LDLC, for the preparation and the fast shipping!
An excellent product overall: the chassis seems solid and reliable, the screen is well made, the keyboard is pleasant to type on, the touchpad very precise, and the processor particularly fast.
The only downside is the cavernous, screeching sound that this laptop delivers. Frankly, it's almost unbearable. Fortunately, the jack delivers a much better signal, allowing you to listen through your headphones. But don't expect to listen to music, or follow a series using the sound delivered by the speakers!
This PC has a very clean design. It looks very nice. The keyboard is nice. I use it for music compo. The processor and ram are very strong and it's nice to find a light and powerful laptop at the same time with a price more than affordable than a MacBook or laptop.
The sound is catastrophic on this computer, I don't understand how you can say that it's a designer PC, there's not even a minimum of quality on the sound.
I'm not sure how you can say it's a designer PC, there's not even a minimum of quality on the sound. And lastly, after many hours on it, depending on the type of software I'm using, my eyes sometimes burn slightly. It's the first time it happens to me.
Here it is ;)
Modern and powerful laptop.
Overall, the screen has good features, the power design and the thermal design have been well thought out by the manufacturer. It is built in a compact and light 15" format.
The cooling is quiet in office use.
The USB-C ports are fully wired! (so with usb3.1 + 4line PCIE 3.0 + DisplayPort)
Test with a USB-C laptop in displayPort mode.
The low power CPU (15-25W) is particularly adaptive, it consumes little in office, it is powerful in greedy application (performance close to the 45W versions!)
The dedicated GPU is powerful and can consume a lot of energy (35W) but beware it does not address games requiring high graphic performance.
Sold in FreeOS version, interesting for me because I already have a Windows 10 pro license from an old configuration. The 8GB of memory is a bit tight, I plan to quickly add a 2nd memory which will also have the advantage of doubling the bandwidth.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add a second memory, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add a third memory. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm sure it will be.
