MSI Modern 15 H B13M

The Msi Modern 15 Is Anything But Modern
Source: USA Today EN→zh-CN
Although the $999 Modern 15’s Intel Core i9-13900H processor is impressive on its own, the rest of the laptop holds it back. Its power adapter draws less power than the processor can handle, and the DDR4 modules limit the processor’s memory transfer speeds well below what they could be. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty (and spend a bit extra for the sticks), you can squeeze out a bit more performance with a DIY memory upgrade. But overall, the Modern 15 is still a middling laptop with no standout features. There are a few laptops under $1,000 with more power draw for better performance or with a better display.The Acer Nitro 5, Acer Swift X 14, and Asus Zenbook 14X OLED laptops push out just as much performance, include faster DDR5 memory, and have better displays and battery life.

Almost any laptop nowadays is fine for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, but a bargain-priced notebook with a Core i9 processor and 32GB of memory sounds like a boon for users of Adobe Photoshop or Premiere or other high-end applications. That's about all the MSI Modern 15 offers—its screen is a serious letdown, its integrated graphics can't keep up with its CPU performance, and that chip scored below most other Core i9 models in our benchmark tests. Whether you want all-around performance or just conveniences like a fingerprint reader and 1080p webcam, you would be smart to spend a few hundred more.
