For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Fast processor for office and heavy multitasking
  • Full-size keyboard with numpad, comfortable for long typing
  • Big responsive touchpad
  • Easy to open; RAM and SSD can be swapped
  • Handles multitasking and long work sessions smoothly
  • Strong processor results
  • Good choice of ports

Cons

  • Dim screen (about 259 nits) with weak colours
  • DDR4 memory and 90 W charger hold back the CPU
  • Battery life only around five hours
  • Plastic touchpad picks up fingerprints
  • Small keys take time to get used to
  • Touchpad needs a firm press
  • Poor screen
  • Reviewed (USA Today)Mar 2024

    Tested US Modern 15 H with Core i9-13900H, 32 GB DDR4, 1 TB: the processor is quick but the dim screen, older DDR4 memory and a 90 W power limit leave it behind rivals at the same money; about 5 h battery in their test.

  • India Today (summary on Notebookcheck)Nov 2024

    Indian review (Rs 76,990 version, Core i7 13th Gen H): a dependable daily work laptop with a clean, sturdy design that handles heavy multitasking well.

  • PCMag (summary on Notebookcheck)Nov 2023

    Tested Core i9, 32 GB: fine for demanding office apps, but the screen disappoints badly and the chip runs slower than in most Core i9 laptops; better to spend a little more.

CoolingReviewed (USA Today, i9-13900H): the 90 W adapter keeps the processor from using all the power it could, so it scores below other Core i9 laptops.
