Editorial note

The MSI Classic CR41 stands out for its optimal performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i3-3120M processor, which ensures smooth execution of daily tasks and efficient multitasking management. Its modern and sleek design, with a black and brown finish, integrates harmoniously into various environments, whether professional or personal. Additionally, its generous storage capacity of 500 GB allows users to keep a large amount of data and applications. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The absence of a USB 3.0 port limits data transfer speeds, and the screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may seem insufficient for users seeking superior display quality, especially for multimedia tasks. Furthermore, the 4 GB RAM may not meet the needs of users with high multitasking requirements or those using resource-intensive applications. Finally, the hard drive spinning at 5400 RPM can lead to longer access times, affecting the overall performance of the computer. In summary, the MSI Classic CR41 offers good value for money but has limitations in terms of features and ergonomics, such as the lack of keyboard backlighting, which can make usage difficult in poorly lit environments.
