MSI - Modern 15 A10M-455 - Intel I5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Black

Excellent laptop. Great configuration for upgrade. There is no equal here in Brazil. The only thing I didn't like is the handprints on the device.

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.

great product for business -pros: slim case like thiner than regular keyboard :) its very high quality so nice, joy and fast with PCIe M.2 NVMe ( Seq. Read 2200 MB/s Seq. Write 1200 MB/s ) backlit has three grade brightness seem exclusive and cool GPU: 4gb shared intel UHD double fan and never overheat there are 3 usb, type C HDMI its ok IPS screen is beautifulalso.. -cons: could be awesome if its 16gb ram no room for RJ45

I really like this computer. It's beautiful, and it's fast. I'm able to run multiple apps on it no problem, while also running multiple tabs in my browser (I use Opera GX). The backlit keyboard is great too because I'm able to work in the dark. The charging cord is a good length, around 6ft, and it's got a good amount of USB ports. One thing I really like in particular is the Creator Center, which allows you to change the type of performance your computer has. There's a button for it on the keyboard (f7) which allows you to easily switch through the presets (high performance, balanced, silent, and super battery). I also play many games on this computer so I'm able to talk about how they run. Minecraft runs great, as well as Sims 4, Hue, Jackbox Party Pack, Among Us, and The Stanley Parable. If you wanted to play higher quality games, like Fortnite, get a gaming computer. I was able to play Fortnite, but on very low quality. Something like Darwin Project runs a bit better, but it's still laggy. Overall though, this is a great computer, and I love it. It definitely feels more expensive than the price.

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 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.

I'll start by saying, this is not a $2000 laptop, so you have to manage expectations. That said, it is an EXCELLENT machine. I got it for $550, and I can't imagine a better value at this price point. In terms of looks/feels: great looking machine, pretty black brushed metal look, and feels like a solid and well built machine. The backlit keyboard is bright and nice. In terms of performance: The 10th gen i-5 processor provides ample power for typical school/office applications. If you need to run CAD, compile massive code, or heavy graphics work, this is not the machine. The 8gb of RAM is a bit limited for 2021, but for $50 you can buy an additional 8gb and its a 5 minute upgrade with instructions on YouTube. The SSD is fast and large. The keyboard has nice travel and accuracy and is pleasant to type on. I will say, there is an ever so slight rattle at times when typing, but not enough to bother me. Trackpad is a bit small, but accurate and responsive. Overall: I think you will be hard pressed to find a better value at $550 and is a solid contender for average school/office use. It's not a gaming PC, or a creative machine, but it's a very viable everyday workhorse for your typical home/office/school workflow. I'm very happy with it.

I got this on sale for about $530. I immediately ordered another 8GB of RAM, and added a 970 to use as the system drive instead of the stock drive, which is now storage. The system is much more responsive with those additions. I found the stock drive to be much slower than expected for m.2, and 8GB of RAM is not enough anymore. For the price I paid, I am very happy with the speed of the system, the design is very sleek and service friendly, all around a professional looking unit. I like the metal body, plastic shells are not attractive to me. The screen is also very nice. Not so much for games, but it does great for video or general tasks. The panel never looks washed out and it is easy to watch a movie with other people. Some of my games looked blurry when a lot of motion was going on, so I would not recommend the screen for FPS games or other titles where that would be a problem. All in all, I am really happy with this computer.
