The touchpad - decorated with reflective blue trim - is massive and elongated. The keys are larger than those on most laptops I’ve typed on, but this comes with a minor setback that I will address in the keyboard section. It contrasts beautifully with the dark gray keys that have light gray letters and characters superimposed on them.

The deck is a tinge lighter than the dusky lid, giving off stone-like hues. The laptop also sports a 180-degree hinge, which supports the Prestige 14 Evo’s flip-and-share mode. It’s also worth noting that opening the lid impels the laptop to lift off from the surface at a five-degree angle, making cooling and typing a lot more efficient. The top bezel houses a 720p webcam and the bottom bezel sports another subtle MSI logo. When you open the lid, you’ll find a display with two ultraslim bezels on the left and right, however, the top and bottom frames are thicker.

I appreciate the low-key logo - not everyone wants to be a walking billboard for a laptop brand. The lid sports a barely-there, center-positioned black MSI logo MSI that’s difficult to see unless you hold it under a light source. MSI Prestige 14 EVO (Image credit: Future)
