![]() ![]() The Modern 14 is a quiet system overall with a slightly higher noise ceiling than most Ultrabooks when under high processing stress. If gaming, fan noise can be up to 40.5 dB(A). Running higher loads like 3DMark 06 will induce a fan noise of about 33.4 dB(A) to be not unlike what we recorded on the Lenovo ThinkPad P43s or Ice Lake-powered Yoga C940 when under similar conditions. Only when the laptop is disconnected from the outlet will the fans fully stop. Setting the system to Silent mode or High Performance mode via MSI Creator Center would not change the minimum fan noise. The GPU and CPU do not share any heat pipes unlike on most other laptops meaning that if one processor is being stressed, the temperature of the other processor will not be significantly affected.įan noise is always present at about 29.5 dB(A) against a background of 28.7 dB(A) when connected to the AC adapter. The cooling solution consists of twin fans and three heat pipes between them. The MSI Modern 14 competes with both Ultrabooks and business-centric laptops like the Microsoft Surface Laptop series, Apple MacBook Pro series, Dell Latitude 7400, and the Lenovo ThinkPad P43s. The configuration tested here can be found on Xotic PC for $900 USD. Upgradeable options are limited to the GPU (Intel UHD Graphics 620 or GeForce MX250), NVMe SSD, and DDR4 RAM up to 32 GB. It foregoes most of the advanced features of the Prestige 14 like GTX graphics, 4K UHD panels, and Thunderbolt 3 support in favor of a lighter system that typical office workers can appreciate.Ĭurrent SKUs are fixed at the Core i5-10210U CPU and 1080p matte display. Not to be confused with the higher-end MSI Prestige 14, the MSI Modern 14 is the more affordable version aimed at content creators and business users on tighter budgets. ( Februupdate: MSI Modern 14 SKUs with the Core i7-10710U exist, but they are not available in the United States at the time of writing.) ![]()
