The tech standards for a modern workplace are constantly evolving. While the cloud has made storage concerns somewhat a thing of the past, the latest business software and operating systems demand better and more efficient hardware . While most business can be done using standard consumer PCs (and even tablets and smartphones these days), dedicated workstations provide the greatest security and convenience for any professional workplace. 

On top of this, underperforming hardware causes a massive hit to productivity. Sitting around for minutes waiting for a spreadsheet (or 19th chrome tab) to load is not an effective use of company time, but is something that is all too common (and often unavoidable in the moment). The solution: Invest in good tech. 

Here’s why the latest business tech solutions from global hardware giant MSI, the PRO DP130 PC and Modern MD271QP Monitor, are perfect for your office or home office.

The verdict is out, a good office monitor can make all the difference in productivity. Not only are modern screens a higher resolution (so they can fit more stuff on them and stay readable), but they also provide a host of other productivity and quality-of-life features to make them a worthwhile upgrade. MSI’s latest business monitor is the MSI Modern MD271QP. 

Featuring a stunning 27” WQHD (2560 x 1440) 75Hz IPS display, the MD271QP has all of the bells and whistles of a great office monitor. The highly adjustable stand allows for quick, custom setup, there’s a convenient USB Type C charging port, and anti-glare coating keeps the screen useful in all lighting conditions. IPS monitors allow for highly adjustable brightness, and MSI anti-flicker technology along with native blue light reduction provide protection for the eyes during long term use. There are also built-in speakers to allow you to simply play audio without the need to set up external speakers.
