MSI Bravo 15 boasts a bold gaming design with rugged contours

Upon first glance at the MSI Bravo 15, there's a sense of familiarity with its contours, resembling a fusion of MSI Katana and MSI Pulse models with their distinctive cut lines on a matte black plastic shell, exuding a masculine and robust appearance. Crafted entirely from plastic, the MSI Bravo 15 carries a weight of 2.35 kg and a thickness of 24.95 mm. While it may seem hefty and bulky, it's quite standard for a gaming laptop. It's still easy to slip the laptop into a backpack for work or gaming on the go.

On the front, the MSI Bravo 15 showcases freshness with a textured matte finish on the A panel, adorned with meticulously crafted decorative cut lines on both sides, complemented by the iconic phoenix logo etched alongside concentric circles. Personally, I commend MSI's creativity in incorporating standout features from its product lineup onto the laptop, delivering a novel exterior while offering protection against basic physical impacts such as fingerprint smudges or scratches to ensure the device's aesthetic appeal.

On the left side, MSI Bravo 15 is equipped with 1 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port and 1 USB-A 2.0 port. Meanwhile, on the right side, you'll find 1 3.5mm headphone jack, HDMI port, USB-A 3.2 port, USB-C port, and LAN RJ45 port. These ports allow you to easily connect and transfer data with network devices and peripherals to enhance your gaming experience.

The interior of MSI Bravo 15 is quite eye-catching, featuring a full-size keyboard with a spacious layout and deep key travel, providing excellent responsiveness and comfort during typing. This keyboard system also comes with backlighting, a feature rarely found in gaming laptops under 20 million VND. Thanks to this backlighting, users can easily experience the laptop in low-light conditions and minimize negative effects on the eyes during use.

Additionally, the touchpad of MSI Bravo 15 is relatively modest in size but adequate for comfortable swiping and tapping interactions, even for users with larger hands like myself. While experiencing the touchpad on the MSI Bravo 15, I found it to be smooth, responsive, and quick, without causing any discomfort from unintentional clicks during document editing.

The 15.6-inch display of MSI Bravo 15 meets gaming and basic graphic needs

In terms of display capability, MSI Bravo 15 features a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), utilizing an IPS panel to provide a wide viewing angle of up to 178 degrees, which is very useful when showcasing content during meetings or group study sessions. Additionally, the screen is equipped with Anti-Glare technology, allowing convenient usage even in brightly lit environments.

Furthermore, MSI Bravo 15 is equipped with a 60 Hz refresh rate and an sRGB color accuracy of 65%, which may seem modest but is exceptional for a device priced at under 18 million VND. I can still tackle various game titles, especially FPS shooters like CS:GO, or carry out simple graphic design tasks efficiently without encountering any hindrances.

Additionally, MSI Bravo 15 optimizes the top and side bezels with impressive slimness, providing a wider display space and maintaining a tidy overall appearance despite the large display area. Moreover, MSI Bravo 15 allows users to connect to external monitors via HDMI for an enhanced gaming experience and improved productivity.

MSI Bravo 15 boasts powerful AMD hardware configuration with Ryzen 5 5600H and RX 5500M

Before diving into the hardware specifications of MSI Bravo 15, let me summarize a few key details for your reference:

• Display: 15.6-inch size, IPS panel, Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels).
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, base clock speed 3.2 GHz, maximum boost clock speed 4.2 GHz.
• RAM: 8 GB DDR4 (1 slot 8 GB + 1 empty slot), supports up to 64 GB upgrade.
• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 5500M 4 GB.
• SSD Storage Capacity: 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD (Upgradable, can replace with a maximum of 2TB).
• Battery: 52 Wh.
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home SL.

Besides its impressive rugged design, MSI Bravo 15 impresses greatly with all key components such as the processor and graphics card being provided by AMD. Specifically, MSI Bravo 15 is powered by the Ryzen 5-5600H chip - a processor manufactured by AMD on the Zen 3 architecture with 6 powerful cores and 12 threads, featuring a base clock speed of 3.3 GHz and a boost capability up to 4.2 GHz, thereby enabling the laptop to handle a wide range of tasks from light to heavy, including daily usage like word processing, web browsing, or playing demanding games.

Alongside the Ryzen 5 5600H, MSI Bravo 15 is also equipped with the Radeon RX 5500M graphics card, offering high performance that promises to handle intensive tasks efficiently, such as graphic design, video editing, or prolonged gaming sessions with demanding AAA titles, all while maintaining smooth performance.

Furthermore, MSI Bravo 15 is also equipped with 8 GB of RAM, providing excellent multitasking capabilities and reducing lag and reloads even with multiple Chrome tabs open during work. Moreover, you can upgrade the RAM via the additional slot to maximize the device's performance. Accompanying this is the 512 GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, enhancing boot speed, quick data access, and offering ample storage for personal documents, videos, images, audio, or your favorite games.

To enable MSI Bravo 15 to work, the manufacturer also equips the device with a 3-cell, 52 Wh battery, allowing you to use the laptop for everyday tasks for extended periods with stability. However, when gaming, I recommend connecting the laptop to the charger to unleash its full processing capabilities, providing you with a more immersive gaming experience.

How much does the MSI Bravo 15 cost? Is it worth buying?

MSI Bravo 15 is currently available at Mytour stores with a price starting from 18.49 million VND (the selling price at the time of publication, subject to change depending on promotional programs). Personally, I find this price quite reasonable for those with limited financial means but desire a powerful laptop to satisfy their passion for graphics, gaming, or office work. With its rugged design, powerful configuration, and sharp display, I believe this laptop model is a worthwhile choice in its price range.
