The MSI Modern 15 F13M: the modern laptop for modern life
Every day, people use laptops that don’t come with RGB keyboards, power-hungry graphics chips or battery lives measured in fractions of a heartbeat. They’re the ultraportables, the business machines, the PCs that make the world go round, and some of the best come from a name that will be familiar to PC Gamer readers: MSI.
For students and professionals who want a laptop that they can take with them anywhere, but which can still keep up with their workloads, the affordable MSI Modern 15 F13M is ideal. It is powered by up to Intel® Core™ i7 processor, providing exceptional performance to boost your productivity, whatever you’re doing. They’re Copilot ready too, bringing the power of AI to help speed you through long documents or complex datasets. The on-board AI Engine is also able to detect the type of work you’re engaged in, automatically adjusting hardware settings to achieve the best performance, and up to 64GB of fast (and upgradable) DDR4-3200 memory plus a PCIe 4.0 SSD to store data on means the laptop won’t slow down even when asked to really crunch those numbers.
At just 1.7kg, the MSI Modern 15 F13M is incredibly lightweight, able to be carried in casual shoulder bags or smart briefcases. Its 15.6in IPS-level display provides a sharp and colourful window into your professional world (a 14in model is also available), while the webcam shutter built into the slim bezel surrounding the screen means you’ll never have to worry about looking fuzzy while on a conference call and ensure a safer and private experience. Your audio is AI-boosted and it’s easy to add background blur to your video feed too, meaning calls from a busy cafe or packed train are just as easy to concentrate on as those from a city centre tower block or cosy home office.
At the heart of your professional life
With the enormous rise in hybrid working seen over the last five years, having a laptop that can keep up with your needs and respond to your changing situation is more important than ever. When out meeting clients you can take advantage of the MSI Modern 15 F13M’s lay-flat design and Flip-n-Share function to easily display presentations, while students can share and discuss ideas without having to huddle around a small, dark screen.
MSI has taken sleek and elegant design to new heights with the Modern 15 F13M, and at just 2cm thick its stylish Urban Silver or Platinum Gray chassis carries a full-size backlit keyboard with 1.7mm of key travel for a great feel while typing, and a newly upgraded touchpad that’s larger than that of previous models.
If you’re working from home, or studying from halls of residence, the MSI Modern 15 F13M offers plenty of connectivity so that it becomes the heart of your technological ecosystem. By taking advantage of the full-size HDMI port and USB 3.2 Type-C port to connect two additional monitors, you can sit at a three-screen system with enough display real estate for multiple apps and windows. There are three more USB 3.2 Type-A ports for external input devices, cameras, storage drives and more, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for your headset. If you prefer wireless connections, the MSI Modern 15 F13M is fully loaded, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 (though there's also a gigabit LAN port if you need to jack in the old-fashioned way).
Work or play all day
The USB-C port is also used for charging, with speedy PD at 65W available, and while away from the wall socket the battery life the MSI Modern 15 F13M is capable of providing all-day endurance for your endeavours. Being able to work from anywhere without worrying about charging is a business superpower, but anyone can benefit from longer-lasting laptops, whether you’re streaming videos, putting the finishing touches to a thesis, or are knee-deep in the spreadsheets.
By putting powerful Intel® Core™ processors and top-quality components in a thin and light laptop shell with excellent battery life, MSI has created a PC that can do almost anything and be taken almost anywhere. Whether it’s getting in some extra design work on the morning commute, writing essays from bed or the sofa, sitting at the heart of a modern business or relaxing with a movie, the MSI Modern 15 F13M does it all.
The MSI Modern 15 F13M with Intel® Core™ processors is available from as little as £549 for the Intel® Core™ i3 version, or £729 for a machine sporting an Intel® Core™ i7 processor.
