Excellent for browsing and office work
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Very happy with this laptop purchased on sale for one hundred dollars off list price over a month ago. Used part of that savings to purchase another 8 GB of DRAM. Hynix 8GB DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz 260-pin SO-DIMM matched what was installed and was easy to install for 16 GB of RAM. The SSD drive is NVME and reasonably fast (see attached). The keyboard is backlit with 3 levels. The keyboard is pure chick-let: all flat wide keys. The top row is nice and provides features you'd normally have to use the function key to access, like screen brightness. They track-pad is works well, which is a nice change from previous low-to-mid range laptops I've owned. That said, there are no left or right click buttons: it's all tapping with one and two fingers. Again, this works well, but something I miss when wanting to be 100% sure of a click. The screen is good. It has poor reviews, but it works well for indoor browsing and office work. There is very little bloatware installed. I actually like the Creator Center as it is unobtrusive and provides quick control over the power profile from the tray. Fan is annoying you? Select Silent mode and the fan spins down. Battery life is good, too. Stay in silent mode with the screen brightness down and the keyboard back-lighting off and the thing will run for 6 or so hours. It is thin and light and quite stylish, but does pick up finger prints. Overall, very happy with this lower mid-range laptop. Oh, did have a problem getting the camera to work. The fix for me was to reset the computer (small hole on the bottom) which reset the BIOS. Sounds worse than it is, but it did take a while to find that resolution.

A sleek, solid build with great performance
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.NOTE: This is an immediate review after receipt and Windows now set up how I like. This is a FANTASTIC machine. The screen is crisp and bright. The build is sleek and solid. Ultra-thin with almost non-existentent screen bezel. I absolutely love the keyboard. It's quiet with large keys and no numeric keypad (I don't want for laptop). The backlighting is amazing...it is only exposed on key edges so it doesn't blind you (no direct light). The finish is clean and sharp. Very light. Bigger SSD than many priced at this point. I'm upgrading a 6 year old Dell XPS and couldn't be happier. Has a bit of bloat but nothing crazy. Can always do a fresh Windows install is needed. Didn't have to install drivers (some have said that's necessary). Very fast. Quick boots and snappy. I'm so glad I skipped on many other deals and took the plunge on my first MSI. Went on sale a couple times (BF2020 and two weeks later). Paid $499.99 + tax.

Strongly Recommend
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Compared to the price, it is the best deal. I got it at a discount and cost 550$. Previously I used HP and Lenevo and from my experience in this price range, this laptop is far better than others. It has a decent look, very lightweight, less bezel, handy keyboard with backlight, great battery backup and very good cooling system. I run Comsol Multiphysics software most of the time and there is no heating and no lagging while browsing chrome or using other software. I must recommend it if you buy any laptop in this price range.

Great for music production
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I need an inexpensive laptop for flights and when mobile for my creative needs. Upgraded ram to 32gig and added another NVMe SSD. This laptop handles Ableton Live 11 very well. Also does well with Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality and value.

Great bang for buck laptop
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Great laptop. I bought this for school, I have some other MSI products in my gaming pc. Their quality certainly shows. Good metallic feeling laptop with some weight to it, doesn't feel cheap. Quick to boot, the i5 and 8gb ram is great for having 30 tabs going at one time. Great for every day use, battery lasts a good while too. It came preinstalled with norton antivirus, which I had to remove immediately, otherwise no complaints.

Q: QuestionNo USB ports? Surly there are, but how many and what kind? A true description/speed, not just 3.1 which could =3.0... No ethernet port? Is the display non-glare? How many external displays can it support (without internal)?
Asked by Insignia.
- A:Answer I find it annoying when Best Buy doesn't publish Manufacturer Specifications. Here they are for this exact model: Modern 15 A10M-455 (that is the model number shown on the main specifications page): https://asset.msi.com/pdf/main/us/bnp/Modern%2015%20A10M-455.pdf
