MSI asserts that its entry-level lifestyle/business laptops are as 'Modern' in terms of finish options as they are in terms of either Intel or AMD processors in 2023. The series' single Ryzen 7 7730U-powered variant can be had in Classic Black, whereas some of its Core i5-1335U-based siblings move on to Star Blue or Beige Rose. They have been released to markets such as Germany, starting for less than US$1,000.https://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-Modern-15-and-14-refreshed-with-Raptor-Lake-or-Ryzen-7000-series-silicon-and-more-color-options.729234.0.html
I'll grant that the aesthetics are clean, but the "Modern" branding comes across as incredibly forced for a product line that's still using 16:9 displays.
Incredible MSI puts intel 13gen but does not install its counterpart ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix with RDNA 3.
So it is impossible to buy a laptop and more when it is shown that ZEN 4 Phoenix is far superior to Intel's 13Gen and its Intel Xe iGPU and more when people in professional forums demand AMD Zen 4 Phoenix.
Its also a stretch to call rehashed Barcelo Zen 3 silicon released at the start of last year as "modern". "Refreshed" is definitely appropriate

No professional is crazy enough to buy MSI to begin with, they always score the lowest in reliability. And I can attest to that, in my life I only had 3 laptops fail. One laptop was due to using faulty Nvidia chipsets that Nvidia knew were defective, and the other 2 were MSI. Otherwise, every laptop I ever bought still works to this day
