The COVID pandemic might have put most of the world behind closed doors. But that does not mean that the door has been slammed shut on human activity and creativity too. With the right tools, the young and restless can still express themselves and share their creativity with the world. And among the most effective tools out there for everyday work are MSI's series of Modern 14 and Modern 15 notebooks. Their blend of power, style and entertainment make them the perfect notebooks for the youth in general and students in particular, especially with so much of education now happening online.

Not only do they pack in everything that a creator would need to craft magic, but they ensure that they also have the means to showcase it to the world without having to unnecessarily step out into what is still a pandemic-affected world the Modern 14 and 15 series come with Web cameras, allowing users to stay connected! They are also sleekly designed and incredibly light, making them very easy to carry - the Modern 14 series is just 1.3 kgs and the Modern 15 series a mere 1.6 kgs. They are no delicate darlings, though - they come with military grade toughness to help withstand the shocks and bumps of everyday life.

The Modern 14 & 15 series come with a number of options of Intel and AMD processors. There are plenty of models in the portfolio to choose from, allowing the youth to choose what works best for them, both in terms of specs or spectacle. Between them, these notebooks pretty much serve up everything that a student would need, from terrific processing power to great displays, impressive sound, optimised software (including support for the forthcoming Windows 11) to ensure the best performance and great battery life.

The Modern 14 B4M flies along on the power of the AMD Ryzen 4000 series processor, while the Modern 14 B10M and the Modern 14 B11M are powered by Intel's Core i7 processors. The notebooks come packed with ports including a conventional USB port, an audio jack, a type-C port, a card reader as well as an HDMI port, ensuring that students using it will not be short of options when they need to plug in an accessory. A backlit keyboard with 1.5 mm key travel makes typing a delight on these devices.

Of course, the displays are top of the line, reproducing brilliant colours and astonishing details, delivering a slice of the world digitally into the creator’s lap. The notebooks run on Windows 10, and are freely upgradeable to Windows 11 when that becomes available (on October 5, we hear). All of those notebooks boast of the trademark high resolution sound from Nahimic, which makes listening a treat, be it a YouTube tutorial, a Zoom session, or your favourite TV series. Speaking of which, you can enjoy all those for hours with battery life that goes close to double digits, thanks to performance optimisations. All this in a beautiful carbon grey colour, that will turn heads not just in cafés and classes, but even at home.

The Modern 15 series, on the other hand, is for those who want the same sleek design and power, but in a slightly larger frame. Both the Modern 15 A4M and 15 A5M are powered by highly acclaimed AMD Ryzen processors, with the A5M running on the extremely powerful Ryzen 5000. While these devices have larger displays (15.6 inches), they are still light and compact enough to easily slip into a backpack or a bag. Once again, there is no shortage of ports and students can plug in devices and accessories to them, whether it is through HDMI, USB, USB Type C or a card reader. And as in the Modern 14 series, their keyboards too are backlit and come with 1.5 mm travel space for the keys, making typing an absolute joy. And of course, you get multiple, stunning colour options, and military grade toughness.
They are a joy to behold, powerful to use, easy to carry, come with multiple configurations to meet every need of every student, have the latest software, and have the strength and stamina to get through an entire day of college and classes without needing a single recharge. Combine that with their wide array of price tags for different audiences based on their needs and you can see why the Modern 14 and 15 series from MSI are a modern student's best friend.
