Reviews for the MSI Modern 15 F13MG

70% After using the new MSI Modern 15 I think it's great for light creative tasks - but 3D users need to look elsewhere
Source: Creative Bloq English
The MSI Modern 15 F13MG is a budget-friendly laptop with performance to match. Students and general business users working primarily on web applications will be pleased with the laptop’s capabilities, but the same can’t be said for creative professionals who demand more from their hardware. The F13MG is not for any serious creative and definitely not for gamers.

60% MSI Modern 15 F13MG Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The MSI Modern 15 F13MG is a middling Windows laptop that features reasonable power from its 13th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, as well as a fantastic port selection that betters laptops double its price tag. However, it falls short of the competition with a poor, dim display and equally disappointing battery life. The likes of the Acer Aspire 16 (2024, Base Model) and Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (Intel 13th Gen) are comparably priced to MSI’s choice and come with a sleeker design, stronger display, equal or more power levels and much better endurance, making them a much more compelling option.

Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 80 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

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

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i5-1335U: Alder Lake based mobile CPU with 2 performance cores and 8 efficient cores. The performance cores offer hyper threading, leading to 12 threads that can be processed. The CPU clocks from 0.9 to 4.6 GHz. The TDP is specified at 15 Watt.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


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.

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.


72.75%: 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.
