Reviewer score 57% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI's Modern 14 B11SB has a Core i7-1165G7 processor and a GeForce MX450 GPU. The display (IPS, FHD) scores with a matte surface, stable viewing angles, a good brightness, and excellent contrast. Despite the high fan speeds under load (gaming), the laptop still heats up more than many high end gaming laptops.

- Only one storage slot

Reviewer score 67% (normalized by Neofiliac) MSI Modern 14 is a budget laptop for day-to-day tasks, packing a good mix of ports and build quality. None of these systems is overly well equipped for sustained media-editing work. The Modern 14's battery life is one of its high points, even if it doesn't break with the pack.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Good battery life
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- Nothing in particular
