MSI Modern 14 Review
If you’re looking for an affordable laptop—we describe it as systems under $500—you can’t really expect a metal sleek body with all the newest modern appliances. Instead, the goal is to make as few compromises as possible. In our set – up, MSI Modern 14 strings that tip, supplying a nice mix of cost and functions. Sure, it includes a moderate Intel Core i3 CPU and just 128Gb of onboard storage, but that’s able to compete for this price bracket, and it’s made up for with 8GB of memory, a screen that won’t harm the eye, and a nice, portable frame. The parts options are acceptable, and with its style, good port choice, and eight-hour battery life, we found little drawback for the money.
Except if you demand a considerably larger display (for which we recommend the Asus VivoBook 17 M712), it’s difficult to get much finer within $400 and $500. For this budget range, it receives an Editors’ Choice award.
