Overview

The MSI Modern 15A pairs a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with an Intel Core i5-1155G7 quad-core processor, 8GB of DDR4 memory, and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. It is a general-purpose productivity laptop designed for office work, web browsing, and light multitasking. The carbon gray chassis weighs just 4 pounds and measures 0.67 inches thick, making it easy to carry between meetings or commute with daily. Connectivity on the laptop includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.1, a 720p HD webcam, and a backlit keyboard. The 3-cell 52 WHr battery is paired with a 65W power supply.

What distinguishes this particular bundle is the included Universal Dock D6000, which connects via USB-C and expands the laptop into a full desktop workstation. The dock supports up to three external displays at resolutions up to 5120x2880 and adds USB 3.0 Type-A ports, an additional USB-C port with power share, HDMI, DisplayPort, an RJ-45 Ethernet jack, and a combo audio/speaker out port. This makes the package well-suited for professionals who need a portable machine that can also drive a multi-monitor desk setup. Note that this unit has been professionally upgraded by GreatPriceTech, meaning the original seal was opened for hardware or software enhancements, and it carries a 1-year warranty from that reseller rather than MSI directly.
