[Advertorial] Back 2 school, back 2 work, one day the holidays end and we have to go back to work. The ideal time to treat yourself to a new, powerful PC to get you off to a smooth start.

Students get new books every new school year, so why not get a new laptop in between? Admittedly, upgrading every year seems like too much for us, but working on an old device for too long causes unnecessary frustration. You work eight hours or more a day on it, treat yourself.

Does the IT department have no budget or are you lacking the money? A new device doesn’t have to cost a lot. Even a competitively priced laptop is often a quantum leap compared to what you’ve been using for three to four years. We go into three MSI devices with which you get a great model from 412 euros without VAT.

Competitive price: MSI Modern 15 B11M-035BE

We’ll start with the MSI Modern 15 B11M-035BE, a laptop with a large 15.6-inch screen (1920×1080 pixels) and space for a numeric keypad. The latter is a rarity in laptops these days. The IPS panel guarantees beautiful color reproduction in every working angle. Even better: all these goodies are available for 412 euros without VAT.

The device comes with 8GB of RAM onboard and 512GB of SSD storage, which is more than enough to run Windows 11 smoothly. The heart of the laptop is the Intel Core i5-1155G7 processor with four cores (2.5 GHz), which is sufficient for everyday office use.

There is no lack of connectivity: 1x HDMI, 1x USB-C, 3x USB-A, a microSD card slot and a jack connection for your headphones.

More luxury: MSI Summit E14 Evo A12M-024BE

Do you prefer a more compact device that you can take anywhere? The MSI Summit E14 Evo A12M-024BE features a 14-inch (1920 x 1200 pixels) screen with a more productive 16:10 screen ratio. This makes this laptop even slimmer than a traditional 14-inch laptop. A high-quality IPS panel is also included here for optimal viewing from every angle.

Inside is a powerful Intel Core i5-1240P. The discerning viewer sees a previous generation Intel chip here, but don’t let that fool you. In the mobile segment, the difference between a 12th and the latest 13th generation Intel chip is zero. The Intel Core i5-1240P has 12 cores on board. Four of those are performance cores (4.4GHz turbo) paired with eight efficiency cores (3.3GHz turbo) for longer battery life.

Everything is supported by a whopping 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD. There is also no lack of connectivity: 2x USB-C, 1x HDMI, 1x USB-A, a microSD card slot and a jack connection for your headphones. The price in the campaign period up to and including September 3, 2023 is 742.98 euros plus VAT.

Compact workhorse: MSI Prestige 13 Evo A13M-094BE

If you don’t want to make any compromises with a compact 13-inch laptop, the MSI Prestige 13 Evo A13M-094BE is the right choice. The 13.3-inch (1920 x 1200 pixels) screen has a more productive 16:10 aspect ratio and uses IPS technology for an optimal viewing angle in every situation.

The laptop weighs less than 1 kg, which often means less battery life. Not here: MSI installs a powerful 75 Wh battery in order to work smoothly for a whole working day even without a power outlet nearby. It can also take a beating, as proven by the MIL-STD-810H certification and the robust, lightweight magnesium housing. At the top of the screen there is space for a Full HD webcam and Windows Hello facial recognition for securely logging into Windows 11.

Inside is a brand new Intel Core i7-1360P, a CPU with twelve cores, four of which are performance cores (5.0 GHz Turbo) and eight efficiency cores (3.7 GHz Turbo). With a 1TB SSD supported by 16GB of RAM, there’s no shortage of storage space.

You can temporarily buy this laptop until September 3, 2023 at the super low promotional price of 1,239 euros excluding VAT.
