Reviews for the MSI Modern 15 B12M, i3-1215U
Source: 91mobiles
After a month with the MSI Modern 15, I’ve come to appreciate it for what it is – an honest, budget-friendly laptop that knows its role and plays it well. For Rs 36,990, you’re getting a capable machine for everyday tasks, with some thoughtful features like the backlit keyboard and quick-charging capability that make daily use more pleasant. Is it perfect? Far from it. The display could be brighter and more colourful, the build quality could be more robust, and the speakers could use more oomph. But these compromises make sense given the price point, and they haven’t significantly impacted my ability to get work done. Who should buy this laptop?

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.

75%: 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.
