Is the MSI Modern 15 A11MU good for gaming?

No. It uses Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, so it handles older or low-setting titles at best. For modern games, look for a laptop with a dedicated GPU.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

The 512GB SSD is user-replaceable via an M.2 slot. Memory on many Modern 15 A11MU units is soldered, so confirm the exact configuration before counting on a RAM upgrade.

Does it come with Windows 11?

It ships with Windows 10 Home 64-bit, which is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11. Check the listing for the current preinstalled version.

How does it compare with the Modern 15 B12M?

The B12M moves to a 12th-gen CPU with a taller 16:10 display and newer ports. The A11MU is the older 11th-gen model, so pick it only if its features and value clearly favor it.

Is the screen touch-enabled?

Some Modern 15 A11MU configurations list a touchscreen and others do not. Confirm the touch option on the specific model number before ordering.

What ports does it have?

It offers USB-A and HDMI, plus the usual audio jack and USB-C on most variants. That covers a mouse, external drive and projector without a dock.

Fan noiseCriticisedThe cooling fans become noticeable during long updates or heavy multitasking.
KeyboardPraisedThe keyboard is described as comfortable with decent key travel for typing all day.
BuildMixedThe slim design looks clean, but the plastic lid flexes and picks up fingerprints.
