80% MSI Modern 15 Laptop Review | Model A10RB

Ultimately, 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.

NVIDIA GeForce MX250: Successor of the MX150 and still based on the same Pascal GP108 chip (similar to the desktop GT 1030) but with higher clock speeds. Available in two versions, a normal 25 Watt version and a low power version with 10 Watt TDP and reduced performance. The 25 Watt version e.g. offers a 21% higher boost clock than the old MX150 leading to a 5% performance gain.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
