MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo A2VM is an Intel Core Ultra 258V (Lunar Lake) ultraportable laptop releast in Fall 2024. (PDF Spec Sheet)

For working Xe2 GPU driver, sound, and bluetooth you will want to use Linux 6.12+. 6.13 additionally fixes a stuttering issue.

Firmware

BIOS updates are located at the MSI Support site here.

Sound

Sound requires sof-firmware to be installed.

There have been reports of sporadic output corruption. If you experience this, you can try to restart your sound system, eg:

systemctl --user restart pipewire.service

Suspend

Only s0ix/s2idle is supported (s3/deep is listed but fails to resume if used).

Using batterylog to measure suspend battery drain gives a relatively good 11-12%/day with the `6.12.0-rc6-1-mainline` kernel:

Slept for 18.10 hours
Used 6.39 Wh, an average rate of 0.35 W
At 0.35/Wh drain you battery would be empty in 168.08 hours
For your 75.90 Wh battery this is 0.47%/hr or 11.17%/day

Fingerprint Reader

Although hwprobe reports that it's not working, Fprint recognizes it OOTB and it works without any issues.

Web Camera

The MSI web camera is a MIPI camera attached to the Intel Lunar Lake IPU7. It does not currently work. The most detailed notes at the moment are here: https://gist.github.com/JeremyGrosser/dff7991668d80220b4a3429590eb59a3#camera
