Performance, battery life of the MSI Modern 15 A10RAS-081FR

The MSI Modern 15 A10RAS-081FR targets those looking for a thin and light High Definition laptop PC for everyday versatile use on the go.

Whether with the Intel UHD 620 graphics part housed within the processor or the dedicated GeForce MX330 card, it is of course possible to watch photos and videos on this Ultrabook which benefits from NVIDIA Optimus technology.

In practice, Optimus switches automatically and in real time between the Intel UHD 620 and the GeForce MX330, as needed. The Intel UHD 620 is preferred as far as possible despite its modest performance because it consumes little energy which favors autonomy compared to the GeForce MX330.

More powerful and greedy than the Intel UHD 620, the GeForce MX330 is able to support games not too demanding in graphics resources.

The Intel UHD 620 takes place within the Comet Lake low power Quad Core i7-10510U processor. The general performance that it provides is all the more able to satisfy many users as it is associated with a good amount of 16 GB RAM higher than the average very appreciable in multitasking and which allows to see well coming to this level.

However, it should be kept in mind that to often perform work that consumes CPU resources, it is better to opt for a PC with a non-low power Intel processor.

As for storage, MSI opts here for an SSD. It rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being silent, less energy consuming, more shock resistant and much faster.

In practice, thanks to the SSD, we get much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than with a simple hard drive. Thus, we benefit from much faster starts / stops, launches of games / applications or even processing, but also of a faster arrival on the cards of online games.

As for autonomy, bet on about 7 hours of battery operation in light use for this Ultrabook whose lightness and finesse make it easy to transport.
