The Modern 15 is fit for budget-conscious users who need more power than the typical Ultrabook without spending too much on heavier higher-end options equipped with Core H CPUs and GeForce GTX GPUs.

Archive.org versionUltimately, the Modern 15 does everything most workers will need and can even entertain them with games. Its bulk and battery make it convenient to carry around town and only power users will really want for more performance. While price will depend on the SKU you choose, the recent launch of Intel’s 11th Gen laptop CPUs means that there are good deals to be found for it - under $1500. As such it’s a good value, mid-range laptop.

MSI Modern 15 A10M-028
The MSI Modern 15 A10M-028 is the 15.6-inch display version of its predecessor, the 14-inch model. The Modern 15 incorporates a sleek, lightweight aluminum chassis with up to a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio for users’ convenience. Along with that, this model also incorporates the Chi Mei N156HCE-EN1 IPS panel, which is similar to the one found in the 2017 Asus ZenBook Pro UX550 series, the Lenovo IdeaPad 720S-15IKB and also in the Lenovo Yoga 720-15IKB. Therefore, the Modern 15 shares similar core characteristics in terms of color coverage, response times and contrast ratios with these systems. The Modern 15 comes with a FHD screen, promising a better viewing experience for users. The display is also of the non-glare type, which again accounts for an overall improved user experience in terms of viewing pleasure. On the other hand, in comparison to the more expensive 4K UHD Prestige 15, this FHD Modern 15 definitely shows faster response times for less ghosting, but, of course, with a dimmer backlight and narrower color spectrum than the former.
As for outdoor visibility, this device offers quite an okay viewing experience in the shade because of its matte overlay and wide viewing angles with the 180-degrees hinges. However, it is better to acquire a laptop with much better brightness, such as the XPS 15, the MacBook Pro or the Prestige 15, if the user is prone to using the laptop outdoors frequently. The Modern 15 also does not support touch screen features, which might be a drawback for some users. In terms of its keyboard, the ergonomic design caters for an optimized typing experience. With the supporting backlit feature, it is even possible to enjoy an awesome typing experience in a dim place. In addition, the 1.5mm key travel is just enough to enhance a user’s typing accuracy and comfort while improving the overall experience.
As far as the performance is concerned, this device carries a quad-core Core i7-10510U Comet Lake-U CPU and Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU. This processor definitely promises uncompromised performance, even when multiple real-time workloads are stacked. Apart from that, the MSI Modern 15 has also been equipped with Cooler Boost 3 Technology, which comes with two fans and three heat pipes to help maintain the temperature of the laptop even during intense usage. In terms of port options, the Modern 15 comes with a single USB Type-C port compared to the two Type-C ports in the Modern 14. However, there is an addition of a USB Type-A in the Modern 15 along with a MicroSD-card reader. The 52Wh battery within this device is capable of providing an overall usage time of up to 9 hours after having been fully charged, which definitely increases the overall productivity and users’ convenience. While all laptops have their own pros and cons, the choice of choosing the right one depends entirely on the user’s preferences and needs.

The MSI Modern 15 A11 starts at Rs 70,990, but the unit sent to me for review will set interested buyers back by almost a lakh (Rs 95,990). For the price, the MSI Modern 15 offers a stunning design, good connectivity, great performance and a finely-tuned screen. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the laptop’s hinge, and the battery life while good, could’ve been better. Regardless, the MSI Modern 15 hits more than it misses and therefore, gets a vote of recommendation from me.

There is no doubt that the MSI Modern 15 (A11X) is one of these laptops that you want as soon as you see them. And although the bigger picture is a lot more blurry than this, we can say for sure that this device delivers a ton of performance with its Tiger Lake processors. Even the Core i5-1135G7 is casually beating the hell out of the Core i5-10300H, which is a full-blown 45W TDP mobile chip.

MSI Modern 15 A11 a budget laptop that will probably help MSI in their attempt to get a foothold in the market for office computers. In terms of appearance, it lives up to its name, and the sleek aluminium laptop can easily pass for being more luxurious than is actually the case. The processing power is also perfectly fine for everyday use, whether it is in the office, at home or at the studio. It comes into competition with machines like the slightly more expensive Acer Swift 3X, which is equal in terms of performance but does not have the solid metal case. The graphics card is downright dull. But unlike MSI’s other computers, it’s not made for gaming and heavy graphics either.

The MSI Modern 15 is a budget laptop with enough power and storage for taxing productivity jobs. A Dell XPS 13 with similar internals costs twice as much. And unlike a lot of basic, pragmatic laptops, the MSI Modern 15 has a low-key sense of style; it doesn’t immediately look or feel too cheap. There are a couple of issues that a lower price can’t eclipse, however. This laptop’s colour saturation is poor, and while the screen looks remarkably good considering how weak the colour is, photo editors and video creators should consider whether this is too big a hurdle to get over. The MSI Modern 15’s battery isn’t fit for all-day use, either – although MSI does have a higher-capacity model in some countries for which lasting the day shouldn’t be a problem. Other cheap Windows laptop options include the Surface Laptop Go 2 and Acer Swift 3, but the MSI is nevertheless an excellent option if you fancy a 15.6-inch display.

There are a few minor things, like the single USB-C port and the soldered RAM we wish were different on the Modern 15. However, this is a serviceable piece of hardware that delivers excellent value. Only time will tell if it can survive deployment in a business environment for more than the limited warranty period, but that’s also true for some of the most expensive laptops. At this price, this might be an excellent choice for a student if they can be convinced to take care of it. The highlight of this design is the Core i7-1255U, a major improvement over some of the remarkably mediocre mobile chips that Intel has produced in recent years. Having the Iris graphics core is also very helpful for those that want to do anything graphical or output video playback in 4K to a TV, but not anything useful for CAD or game development. A single year of warranty isn’t great, and neither is the stickers that attempt to restrict internal upgrades, even if these are mostly reduced to replacing the NVMe drive and the battery. With such a short warranty, we’d encourage any owner to find a branded Gen 3 NVMe drive of at least 1TB capacity and sling the Kingston OEM drive that MSI imposed on it as soon as it expires. Overall, a great machine that could give many years of good service to a careful owner.

I like the look and feel of the MSI Modern 15 B13M. The metal-and-plastic enclosure is sturdy, and the navy blue color looks sharp. The display and speakers, however, are disappointing and make the laptop less appealing for home use unless it's spending most of its time on a desk connected to an external monitor and speakers. If you are reading this review and see the Modern 15 B13M on sale for hundreds less than its $950 list price, then it's worth considering, assuming you can live with its shortcomings. Otherwise, I urge you to pass on it in favor of the similarly outfitted HP Pavilion 15t-eg300 that can usually be found at a steep discount. Or the Acer Aspire 5. Or spend a bit more for the $1,200 Acer Swift Go 16, which is lighter and faster and offers a larger and far superior OLED display.

Although the $999 Modern 15’s Intel Core i9-13900H processor is impressive on its own, the rest of the laptop holds it back. Its power adapter draws less power than the processor can handle, and the DDR4 modules limit the processor’s memory transfer speeds well below what they could be. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty (and spend a bit extra for the sticks), you can squeeze out a bit more performance with a DIY memory upgrade. But overall, the Modern 15 is still a middling laptop with no standout features. There are a few laptops under $1,000 with more power draw for better performance or with a better display.The Acer Nitro 5, Acer Swift X 14, and Asus Zenbook 14X OLED laptops push out just as much performance, include faster DDR5 memory, and have better displays and battery life.

Almost any laptop nowadays is fine for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, but a bargain-priced notebook with a Core i9 processor and 32GB of memory sounds like a boon for users of Adobe Photoshop or Premiere or other high-end applications. That's about all the MSI Modern 15 offers—its screen is a serious letdown, its integrated graphics can't keep up with its CPU performance, and that chip scored below most other Core i9 models in our benchmark tests. Whether you want all-around performance or just conveniences like a fingerprint reader and 1080p webcam, you would be smart to spend a few hundred more.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI) was founded in 1986 in Taiwan. MSI is especially known as a manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards for PCs, but also offers computer accessories, complete systems, motherboards, graphics cards, laptops, desktop PCs, monitors and other components. However, the Microstar brand name in Germany belongs to the Medion company. MSI is known for its gaming products and has developed a wide range of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. The company is also active in workstations, servers and industrial automation. MSI has offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

72.97%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
