MSI Opens Pre-Orders For RTX Spark-Powered Prestige N16 Flip AI+

Microsoft has introduced the NVIDIA RTX Spark processor, prompting a flurry of laptops to hit the market. Among these, MSI has entered the fray with the pre-order opening of the Prestige N16 Flip AI+. This device stands out due to its 2-in-1 convertible design, offering users versatility with its 360-degree hinge. The hinge enables transitions between laptop, tablet, tent, and presentation modes.

The screen on the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ is equipped with pen and touch support, complemented by the MSI Nano Pen which is provided at no additional cost. In the Malaysian market, MSI offers two variants of this device. The more basic model features a 16-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels. The premium counterpart, however, elevates the screen to a 16-inch dual OLED panel boasting a resolution of 3,840 x 2,400 pixels.

Both screens share a variable refresh rate ranging from 30-120Hz and come with a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Additionally, they are VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certified.

A key feature driving the Prestige N16 Flip AI+ is the RTX Spark processor. This powerhouse combines 20 Grace CPU cores with a staggering 6,144 Blackwell RTX GPU cores and 5th generation Tensor Cores. This configuration is capable of delivering up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance. The laptop is designed to provide a robust local environment for AI agents and tasks such as model prototyping and coding.

Moreover, it supports advanced technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS, making it a formidable tool for content creation and gaming enthusiasts alike.
