    Apple still has a lot to live for... :(

    As the owner of an old MacBook from 2012, but having to switch to Windows for professional reasons, I was expecting a revolution when I switched to the latest computer.
    Although I haven't had the chance to push the computer to its full capacity yet, I've already noticed that the computer fumes continuously (even when no application is open - and I'm on a smooth, hard and clean surface), and the noise generated is quickly very unpleasant when you're working (it even becomes unbearable when Firefox, Excel and Dropbox are open at the same time - that's one example). I may have done something wrong (I hope so...), I'd better find out. Help ? I'm looking...
    The computer seems to be well finished but can't be compared to a MacBook that's almost 10 years old: the pad is noisy and much less pleasant, the battery doesn't last as long (even if you're going for optimal autonomy), the hinge to close the screen seems to be of much lower quality, etc. The fluidity is still superior (fortunately for a brand new i7) and the computer turns on in a few seconds, which is nice!
    I'm not at all pro Apple by nature, but fortunately an equivalent product from another brand costs half as much and many applications are Windows optimised in businesses, otherwise there would be no other brand left on the market.
    5/10 for the benefit of the doubt of the untapped potential and the quick resolution of my problem... I have nothing to say about the delivery time (and I am on the other side of the world).

    Excellent Laptop

    This MSI MODERN 15 A11M-050XFR is really an excellent laptop.
    In "classic" use, it is extremely fast, Windows 10 loads in a few seconds and you can feel that it has a lot under the bonnet: everything is extremely fast and fluid. It's not slow, even when launching large applications or large files. It is possible to use software such as the office suite, Fusion 360 for 3D object creation and Simplified3D for 3D printing without any problem.

    Although there is no dedicated graphics processor (nvidia), intel's IRIS Xe chip performs quite well. It is possible to play games that are not too demanding: In 1080P (Full HD), it is possible to play games such as City Skyline, Torchlight III, Tropico 5, Fortnite without difficulty with the graphics quality set to maximum. Overall, all games that are not triple-A or not too demanding should pass without too much difficulty. No problem with indie games, even the most recent ones, which all play perfectly.

    For the more demanding games such as Wolcen, the situation changes, we are more on a low graphic quality with 19/20 fps. If you are a gamer, it would be better to add some tickets to the Modern 15 version equipped with a dedicated Nvidia GPU.

    Noise-wise, it's almost completely silent in office use, surfing, movies or desktop use and if it is, it stays below the ambient noise of the room overall. When gaming, it blows more but unlike other brands where the noise is unbearable, on the Modern 15, it remains correct.

    This is an excellent product which has the considerable advantage of being able to receive a second SSD and which has a more than correct autonomy (between 8 and 9 hours connected to an external screen, 5 hours using the laptop's screen, whose matt panel is of very good quality).

    Very good laptop

    Although a bit heavy. The light-coloured keyboard is a real plus, but it does not have a numeric keypad.
