Laptops have become a basic tool in our life nowadays. And after the last lockdown, the demand for laptops all over the world was skyrocketing. I mean, that's a situation, also a laptop with our daily life has come and gone.
This is what
MSI Modern 14 B5M-053 says. We all know MSI is a premium or gaming quality
laptop, but MSI is the first mid-range laptop to hit the market, much to the
surprise of almost all middle-class laptop lovers.
MSI has been in the gaming sector for so long and they are slowly moving towards the corporate sector. Looking at MSI laptops, don't think again that we have come up with a kidney-bearing gaming laptop.
We will talk about mid-range
budget laptops in the corporate sector. We find the best laptops under 700 USD In that
case, it is not an exception at all. The price of this laptop is 679 USD. I
mentioned the price before because when I talk about its Specifications, you
can match the price with this specification.

Expect To Price Ratio:
In the beginning, we will talk about the processor section of MSI Modern 14 B5M-053 where AMD RYZEN 5500U With Vega7 Graphic has been used. This is an excellent APU on a budget, in my opinion, 6 Core 12 Threat processors and Vega7 are capable enough for the target audience of this laptop.
This laptop comes
with 8 GB RAM and a separate RAM slot for RAM extension. The 256 GB SSD is used
as Storage in this laptop. If you are looking for the best laptops for online classes or
the best laptops
for online education then this configuration is for you. Also if you
are looking for a laptop for business or freelancing then this should be at the
top of your list of favorites.
Body
In
addition to the display, another sector of cost-cutting is its body design,
several models of the Modern series have given this seam design, but I am very
impressed with its look. The body size of this laptop is 18.90” ×11.46” × 2.91”.
And it weighs just 3.96 pounds, which is very thin to look at. This laptop will
be brought to the MSI market in three colors: Bluestone, Urban Silver, and
Carbon Gray. However, the Carbon Gray color is currently available in the
market.
Aluminum chassis has been used in
its body, and it can be said that there is no flex in the chassis. If you want
to update this laptop then you can open and update its back part.
Display
I really like the display quality in this budget, Bezel was quite a Narrow 14-inch font factor laptop this is what many of you may have seen by looking at the name 14.
This is a 60 Hz refresh rate panel with 1080 resolution, color
accuracy is not so good but it is the best in this budget. With 45% NTSC color
support, this could be the best laptop display for the eyes, and the level of
display black could be a bit blacker, but it seems to fit into this budget
segment.
Keyboard
Speaking
of keyboards, it seems like some of the laptops I've used recently will have a
position at the top, each button may have a bit more distance which may
take you a while to adjust, but it's not an issue to complain about. The Brightness Adjustable Backlit keyboard also looks pretty good in
daylight and has nothing to say at night.
Battery
The
battery section of this laptop uses a 3-cell (52-watt Hour) battery with which
I get seven hours of battery backup, and the charger uses a 65-watt AC power
adapter that takes a little over an hour to fully charge.
Others Features
The
USB section uses 2 new and fastest 3.2 generation USBs with maximum speed per
second. Also used is a USB 3.0 Gen Type C port. HDMI has been used as the video
port, with which the maximum 4K resolution video 30 HZ can be viewed. MIC-IN /
Headphone-out Comb technology is used as an audio port. Two speakers of 2W are
used in the speaker section with which you will get fairly clean sound output.
It also uses a 720-pixel HD webcam.
Pros
· Good typing experience
· Decent port selection incl Thunderbolt 4
· Manageable battery life
Cons
· Latency issue in wireless audio
· Paltry speakers
In my opinion, this is the best laptop for doing all kinds of work within a medium budget. The choice is yours, the decision is yours.
