This MSI Modern 14 has the Intel i3 1115G4 CPU for under $400; it's a great price for 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD and easily takes care of all your web surfing, productivity and casual gaming needs. NOT for video editing, heavy gaming or graphic intensive tasks.
We have found, unfortunately, no Thunderbolt 4 like the retail ad claimed. So we dug deep into MSI's spec sheets to find that their Modern line includes Thunderbolt 4 on models using i5 and i7 chips, but not i3. But we don't blame MSI - we blame the retailer for copy/pasting generic specs to their adverts.
We also found some issues like:
1. Questionable thermal design. You can't close the lid when the laptop is on. If you do, the airflow will be blocked, which sucks if you're using an external monitor, kbd & mouse and want the lid closed.
2. microSD card may cause conflicts with hub connected peripherals. It's no problem to connect your peripherals (mouse, kbd, webcam, printer, etc) to a hub, which then connects to your laptop. Until you insert a microSD card... then your mouse will stop working every few seconds.
That said, this machine is still a great deal - and right now's a good time to look for sales. Laptops with 11th gen Intel CPUs will be on offer since the 12th gen laptops are starting to appear.
