Source: Cashify
Overall, the MSI Modern 14 is the perfect balance between work, style and utility. From being compact yet powerful to stylish yet durable, the Modern 14 takes the core elements of a good laptop and puts it all together. Nothing less can be expected from a brand like MSI after all and the Modern 14 is a great evidence of that. Additionally, the battery life, performance and everything else is just way too good for the price that you are paying for it. The Ryzen 5 4500U is a beast of a performer and it is very evident in the zero lag experience that you get from using the laptop. Of course, you are not going to be able to play graphic intensive titles like Far Cry 6 and the like. Either way, that is not why this laptop should end up in your check list anyway. If that is the case, there are several other "gaming" laptops that you may want to go for. The Modern 14 is all about your everyday multitasking made seamless coupled with some Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom maybe? If that is why you are planning on getting it, look nowhere else for this is the best you can get in the Rs.

Archive.org versionOne thing is sure about this laptop. Power and performance is not a problem. It manages to achieve crazy high frequencies for a 15W processor (although it works at 25W under load), and light gaming is not an issue, whatsoever. This makes productivity tasks easy as a breeze, and the 64GB maximum memory in dual-channel mode will certainly provide a lot of help.

AMD Vega 6: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 6 CUs (= 384 shaders) and a clock of up to 1,500 MHz.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
