[adv] Intel vPro and the MSI Commercial 14: what’s the added value?

[Advertorial] MSI offers its Commercial 14 laptops with modern chips from Intel equipped with the vPro platform. What added value does vPro bring to devices like the Commercial 14?

The MSI Commercial 14 H A13MG(available here) is a business laptop that, depending on configuration, uses the Intel vPro platform. This platform offers significant advantages in terms of security, manageability, performance, stability and enterprise-readiness. Why choose vPro?

1. Security

Thanks to the Intel vPro platform, the laptop has advanced hardware security features. These protect against threats such as ransomware and cryptojacking through AI-driven hardware-level detection. In addition, it provides protection under the operating system and advanced threat detection, ensuring robust protection of business data and devices.

2. Management

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is a critical component of the vPro platform. It allows IT admins to remotely manage the laptop even when it is powered off or the operating system is unresponsive. This simplifies device maintenance and support, which is especially useful in hybrid operating environments.

3. Performance

The MSI Commercial 14 is equipped with the latest 13th generation Intel Core i7 processors, delivering solid performance for demanding business workloads. Like their classic counterparts in the range, the vPro chips have an onboard NPU. That Neural Processing Unit supports AI workloads. The chips are further equipped with Wi-Fi 6E and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. These capabilities are not unique to vPro chips, but they are part of the CPU package.

4. Stability

The Intel vPro platform ensures platform stability through the Intel Stable IT Platform Program (SIPP), which aims for no hardware changes for at least 15 months or until the next generation release. This provides a reliable foundation for fleet management and predictable refresh cycles, enabling IT organizations to deploy new technologies with confidence.

5. Enterprise-ready

MSI designed the MSI Commercial 14 H A13MG specifically for business needs, with features focused on increasing productivity, protecting and managing remotely. The device offers extensive connectivity options, including Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E, and is built with sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic, contributing to environmental awareness.

Through these integrated features, the MSI Commercial 14 H A13MG, with the Intel vPro platform, offers a comprehensive solution for modern business IT challenges, with a focus on security, manageability, performance, stability and scalability. Variants without vPro are no less powerful, but lack the unique security and management capabilities that the Intel vPro platform brings.
