MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6"

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ is a productivity-oriented laptop measuring 359 mm wide, 241 mm tall, and 19.9 mm thick, with a total weight of 1900 g and a volume of approximately 1721.73 cm³. It includes a backlit keyboard and comes with a two-year warranty, adding some reassurance for everyday professional use. The laptop uses an active cooling system rather than a fanless design, and it is neither weather-sealed nor built to rugged standards, making it suited to standard indoor working environments.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ features a 15.6-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 px and a pixel density of 141 ppi. Typical brightness is rated at 250 nits, and the display includes an anti-reflection coating to help manage glare in various lighting conditions. The refresh rate runs at 60Hz and the screen does not support touch input, keeping it squarely within a standard productivity display configuration. Notably, the system supports up to four connected displays simultaneously, which offers meaningful flexibility for multi-screen desk setups.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5600 MHz across two memory slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 64GB. Storage comes in the form of a 512GB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0, providing fast flash-based read and write access. The processor runs at a base configuration of 6 x 1.4 GHz and 8 x 0.9 GHz cores with a turbo clock reaching 4.8 GHz across 22 threads, with multithreading enabled and a 7 nm semiconductor process. The integrated GPU operates at 300 MHz with a turbo of 2250 MHz and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit computing, though XeSS (XMX) acceleration is not available on this configuration.

In benchmark testing, the MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ achieves a PassMark multi-core score of 24,879 alongside a single-core result of 3,468, giving a measurable indication of its processing capability across both parallel and single-threaded workloads.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ offers a practical range of wired and wireless connectivity options. On the USB side, it includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with no USB 2.0, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 ports present. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, while DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA connections are absent. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E alongside Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.3, and AirPlay is also supported. The laptop includes an external memory slot for storage expansion, though there is no RJ45 port for wired Ethernet.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ is fitted with a 39.3 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is not in active use. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ includes stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for audio output, along with a front-facing camera capable of recording at 720p and 30 fps, backed by a single built-in microphone. Biometric security options are not present, as both fingerprint scanning and 3D facial recognition are absent. On the graphics feature side, ray tracing, DLSS, and Dolby Atmos are not supported, and there is no S/PDIF output or optical disc drive. Sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, and compass are equally absent, keeping the feature set oriented toward standard stationary productivity use rather than mobility or gaming.

The MSI Modern 15 H AI C1M (2024) 15.6″ uses a laptop-class processor mounted on a BGA 2049 socket with a clock multiplier of 38, a 28W TDP, a maximum operating temperature of 110 °C, and a 24 MB L3 cache, with big.LITTLE technology enabled and NX bit support for hardware-level security. The CPU supports a broad set of instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, and the multiplier is locked. Graphics are handled by the integrated Arc Xe-LPG 128EU GPU, which features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 8 execution units, with OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6 support, and a PassMark overclocked result of 24,880. Memory runs across 2 channels with a maximum supported RAM speed of 7467 MHz, though ECC memory is not supported. The laptop provides a total of 4 USB ports with no legacy USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports in the traditional sense, and no unlocked multiplier is available.
