Product Overview

The MSI Bravo 17 is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop powered by 7nm AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series mobile processors and AMD Radeon RX 5500M graphics. The "All-AMD" combo delivers the graphics to the users with 144/120Hz panel with AMD FreeSync Premium technology.
MSI's proprietary Cooler Boost 5 technology brings an innovative thermal solution with 2 fans and 6 heat pipes to dissipate heat from the compact chassis.
For those who prefer more portability, MSI also markets a 15.6-inch model, the Bravo 15. The two share most of the configurable options, though the Bravo 15 loses the per-key RGB option.
The Bravo 17 shares its design with the GF75 Thin powered by Intel.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
Bravo 17 runs noticeably quieter than its MSI counterpart, the Alpha 15. Despite the high volume, the Radeon RX 5500M gets pretty hot with 3D applications. In comparison to the last CPU generation, AMD seems to have noticeably optimized the energy management. The 2.0 integrated volume offers a good volume pattern with a decent sound pattern.
