Returned. Screen is super dim. Went w Acer predator and love it

Do not liked drivers outdated bios outdated windows messed up returned

It turns on and can surf the web. Dont expect more than that...

After 6 month the computer started to fail. I took the computer 3 times to warranty and still not working. Hardware failure, Motherboard and RAM Memory replaced. Software wasnt working properly, Windows should be reinstalled by MSI Warranty. And now when the computer hibernate and its plugged the keyboard doesnt work and I should unplugged and plug it again and the keyboard.

Kept constantly crashing. Dont know if it was the laptop or something else, but despite saying nothing was wrong, had issues.

worst computer ever never buying again from best buy. Since I got the computer it freezes like crazy I can be idle on the screen literally from coming out of sleep mode and it just freezes I always have to hard reset every single day it’s frustrating and annoying yall need to take this off the market because this thing still needs work.

Month after I bought this computer it started having hardware issues. Contacting Best Buy they told me I was out of luck because I was 3 days past my exchange period. Will never spend my money at Best Buy for how horrible customer service is for a product that cost this much.

Gaming laptops are very matter of fact in my opinion. We are looking for the power to game on our existing and/or new levels, and we expect a comfortable form factor with decent battery. Throw in the right connectivity options, a decent trackpad and keyboard, and we are set. The MSI Bravo checks all those boxes in my opinion and offers a solid option for most, if not all, in the market for a portable gaming rig. Opening the box, the MSI Bravo series design is very well thought out with regards to a powerful gaming laptop. It has a gamer’s look and feel, feels very durable and sturdy, and has one of the best cooling-oriented designs I’ve seen in a laptop. Normally, gaming laptops have decent clearance on the bottom of the device, allowing it to breathe better when cooling fans kick in. The MSI Bravo is designed this way as well but has 2 distinctions from other laptops I’ve previously used. First, the ventilation on the bottom of the laptop is much more open and covers a larger area than I’ve seen on any other rig. I would say it may cover about a third of the base and add to that you can clearly see inside the machine – it can really breathe when the workload gets heavy. Second, the feet on the base offer around the same clearance you’d expect from most gaming laptops (about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch or so), but it also sits higher in the front as well, with feet that are only slightly lower than those in the rear of the base. This thing really sits well above the surface. The feet don’t allow for quite the forward tilted typing experience others do, but for a gaming rig, I’ll take the cooling any day. Power the MSI up and of course you are greeted by Window 11. This will be familiar to most and provides an easy way to get your new laptop up and running just like your existing PCs. I was happy to see there wasn’t much on the Bravo in the form of bloatware. With the exception of Norton’s, I think everything else was pretty much acceptable. There are some great MSI applications that serve as excellent tools for monitoring and diagnosing your devices hardware. These are useful when you want to run games you believe will push your device to its limits. If you are MNK warrior, the trackpad may disappoint. It’s a bit smaller than I would have liked, but it’s not unusable. I will say the trackpad is very responsive and has very good feel – just wished it was a tad larger. The keys are sturdy and separated. They are a bit stiff, but I think that’s good for gaming. The difference is what takes a bit to get used to, but once you are there, it’s comfortable. Graphically, the MSI Bravo is a beast! It handles what you throw at it. I like the Tomb Raider series, Rogue Squadron, Rainbow Six Siege, Wolfenstein – handled them all without a hitch and with great framerate – mostly at around 60 with an occasional dip during heavy scenes/moments. The 1080p visuals didn’t disappoint on what I feel is a pretty good screen for a gaming laptop. I have to give this thing its props, it offers an enjoyable, portable gaming experience. About that word “portable”. The battery life actually surprised me. I was expecting maybe a little over and hour, an hour and fifteen minutes while gaming, but you can get about 2 hours out of this thing while gaming. Of course, you can get more just using it for everyday tasks, but it does well for battery driven gaming sessions. This is a great device from MSI. I highly recommend it for mid-level to lower-level hardcore gamers. It has a smaller footprint than some other gaming laptops, has great ventilation, great performance, and decent battery life. I would put it in any comparison list when considering a gaming laptop.

I recently acquired the MSI Bravo 15 gaming laptop as a strong contender to be my next reliable partner in numerous virtual adventures without causing a dent in my wallet, and I'm thrilled to explain why it offers excellent value for money. Firstly, this laptop packs a substantial punch under the hood. The AMD Ryzen 7-7735HS processor and 16GB of DDR5 4800MHz RAM (upgradeable to 64GB) can handle even the most demanding titles. Whether I'm engrossed in a fair share of CS:GO and Battlefield, or exploring vast open worlds in Starfield, the Bravo 15 performs flawlessly. The AMD Radeon RX6550M graphics card with 4GB GDDR6 takes gaming visuals to the next level. For instance, in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3, the landscapes are rendered in stunning detail, and the character models are incredibly lifelike. It offers the power of a compact gaming rig in a portable form. The 512GB NVMe SSD is pure bliss for gamers. Load times are almost non-existent, allowing me to quickly jump into the action without any delay. This is particularly noticeable in games like Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone, where rapid loading can mean the difference between victory and defeat. It's perfect for those intense, fast-paced games where every second counts. However, it will consume a significant portion of space after installing a few 100GB+ titles, so I'd strongly recommend a storage upgrade. Other reviewers have noted that the board does have an additional available NVMe slot which requires an adapter plate from MSi, but adding a terabyte or two of space isn't as costly as it used to be, so I'd definitely plan for this upgrade if you are looking to install multiple games to play on the go. The MSI Bravo 15 boasts a sleek, minimalist design with its brushed aluminum finish, which looks great on your desk. It's surprisingly lightweight for a gaming laptop, making it easy to transport to LAN parties or just to your favorite gaming spot in your home. However, the one downside is, as expected of gaming laptops, it tends to get a bit warm during extended gaming sessions. You might want to invest in a cooling pad to keep things comfortable. The 15.6-inch display is a sight to behold. The Full HD resolution is crisp and vibrant, and the 120Hz refresh rate ensures buttery-smooth gameplay. The thin bezels add to the immersive experience, but there's one minor drawback: the brightness could be a tad higher for outdoor use. However, indoors, it's stunning. And besides, who really games outdoors often anyway? The audio quality on the Bravo 15 is solid, with loud and clear speakers. You won't miss any crucial in-game sounds, but if you're an audiophile, you might want to invest in a pair of high-quality headphones (or a set of desktop speakers if you plan to keep it plugged in on your desk at all times) for a more immersive experience. Now, let's address the elephant in the room - the battery life. Like many gaming laptops, the Bravo 15 doesn't last all day on a single charge. Expect around 4-5 hours of non-gaming use. While this is typical for gaming laptops, it's still something to consider if you plan to use it for work or school in addition to gaming and you're thinking of not plugging in often. In conclusion, the MSI Bravo 15 gaming laptop is a formidable gaming machine offering impressive performance and speed in a portable package at a reasonable price. It's a gamer's dream come true, with minor drawbacks like heat and battery life. If you're looking for a laptop that can handle today's demanding games and leaves extra money in your wallet to buy said games, the Bravo 15 is a worthy contender.

Overheats easily, crashes while loading games even when played at the lowest settings, the laptop is less reliable than an over 10 year laptop that I wanted to replace.

I rarely use this device and it freezes and restarts randomly without doing any high-perfomaning process not even a game though the ram and the temperature are well.

I really enjoyed this laptop!!This machine has all the little bits I like in a machine - lets dive in 1. Fit and finish - the machine is made nicely - rugged but has nice aesthetics and design. Its all black with the MSI logo on the lid(wish the eagle eye would illuminate!) The monitor shell is rigid! I don't get a lot of flex like others when i open/close. This is huge for me. There is a nice long thumb ridge on the top to open close and an ever so subtle bevel along all edges as well. The keyboard is nice and a FULL board - qwerty key and number pad!! The also did offset the touchpad to center to the keyboard typing surface. I have decently big hands and this keeps the palm from touching and causing me frustrations. The keyboard is responsive and easy press. Although im not sure on longevity. let me explain. the keyboard backlights are good except for the w/a/s/d and power button. They are translucent. As such i have some worry they may rub out over time given the frequency of usage on these buttons - Time will tell but not a big issue Performance is as expected based on the specs of the machine - Game play is smooth and looks really good. I tested using Fortnite and Killer Instinct - no lagging and smooth graphics They did a great job on the software here - not any bloat just OS and the MSI software Armory. Really good layout and works really well - doesn't run you experience with the machine just subtle enhancements and good config/customization availability.

just was not what i was expecting from it, makes sense when you look at the price.

The MSI Bravo 15 B7E has some great features, but it's held back by a weak graphics card. The Bravo has a decent case, its sturdy, light weight, and has nice falcon design edged into the center of the laptop. The Bravo offers plenty of cooling vents all over it, this gives it plenty of air circulation to help keep it cool while gaming. The keyboard is one of my favorite things about this laptop. It has a full keyboard layout plus, a number pad. The keyboard is backlit with a light blue hue and the keys feel great to type with. The Bravo is equipped with 2 speakers that offer high-res sound, and for a laptop they sound pretty good. They offer decent surround sound effects and sound loud and clear. Another great feature about the Bravo is the screen. The screen is a 15.6” 144hz FHD screen and looks amazing. This is one of the better laptop screens I’ve played on in a while. There is also a built-in webcam and microphone on the top of the screen as well, but it doesn’t offer face detection to sign into Windows. As far as the performance of the Bravo 15 goes, well there in lies the problem…The laptop does pack a AMD Ryzen 7 processor which is good, and it does offer a Radeon graphics card, but the card is only a 4GB DDR6, which is not terrible for older games, but it’s not that good for modern games. I especially noticed this when playing some graphic intense first-person shooters…The best settings I was able to use were low, anything else and the laptop wasn’t able to handle it. So don’t expect to run the latest games at high or better, because this card can’t handle them. This is very disappointing, seeing how they packed so much into this laptop, only to be let down by a weak graphics card. Overall, I really wanted to love the Bravo 15, they really put a lot of great features into this laptop…It has a beautiful screen, a great backlit keyboard, exceptional surround sound, a Ryzen 7 with 16GB of DDR5 ram, but they dropped the ball on the graphics card. Don’t get me wrong, this laptop will be able to play a decent number of games, especially older ones, it just isn’t able to handle newer and/ graphically intense games very well. If that doesn’t bother you, then I would say this is a good low to mid-tier gaming laptop.

So, out of the gate... let me say I would give this 4.5 stars, but that isn't an option. A modern very powerful laptop, that should serve any user well for several years if not longer. Let's get right to my few negatives: 1) This is my negative for almost all laptops I have looked at. IT IS NOT USING USB-C FOR CHARGING, and requires a proprietary adapter. Look, seriously. we just need to move on, and all get standardized, so we can use the plethora of small USB-C charging options. As a traveler, carrying this massive charging bricks, is a major pain. And for a student or other, that is tough too. and they are expensive options to buy a 2nd / 3rd one. 2) Heavier than most laptops nowadays. I did find this unit heavier than most I have check out lately. Same size, but this one was just a bit heavier. not crazy, but if this is going in a bag or backpack, could make a difference. 3) Slightly slow boot time. Now, to be fair, we are still talking just 10-15 seconds and the system is up and running, but compared to some other options as of late, that are up in just a few seconds, it is noticeable. Now to all the good stuff: 1) I LOVE that it is upgradeable. You can upgrade the memory and the storage space, pretty easily. DDR5 memory, easy to upgrade and can take up to 64GB. Storage is PCIe. It will take a little bit of time to upgrade (unless you are just going to format and restart), but super easy to install and upgrade. 2) The keyboard, is responsive. not just a lightweight tap and type, there is some feel to the keys, and that is important to people that type a lot 3) Screen. Big screen, bigger than most lately.. (and probably why it is heavier). So you can get a big space for your development and your game play 4) Strong graphic processor/system, while not the absolute latest (which is nearly impossible to do nowadays), it is very realistic and strong and powerful. the multiple games we tried, worked just fine with no hesitations. So this laptop is going off to play games and build games (used as a development machine as well). it has all the standard necessary expansion ports, so no issue there. Liked that it had the option to be wired ethernet. So other then the relatively few nit-picks, this is a solid machine

it's been only a month and 1/2 and i already got the blue screen of death :(

This computer is great for a day to day use as well as gaming. Although this is not a professional gaming computer, it is great for that person that is just being introduced to the gaming world. It has 16 GB of ram which is more that enough space for storage. This computer I use mostly for day to day task but mostly for school work. I love the design that is on it. It makes it look sleek and sophisticated. This is a very budget friendly computer for school, budgeting and gaming alike. it is a fairly sturdy computer and it has a soft typing fell to it in which I love. I cools down quickly and the battery life is sufficient for what you are using it for. One of the things Noticed is that the CPU is quite strong. For the price of this computer I wold recommend getting it for your college student or even or the daily task for everyday use. You can’t go wrong with this computer for the price. Now keep in mind this is good for a beginner gamer and not really the for the professional gamer, I think you need a little bit more power.

MSI did a great job with this product. Great gaming Experience for the entry level gaming product this device is. Very energy efficient compared to old gaming laptops of the past. The screen is not the brightest but has great response time and is very snappy. I have not noticed any screen tearing or input lag. I had zero compatibility issues connecting this to an external monitor with freesync support. The battery does not last the longest when gaming if you are not plugged in. This is to be expected with gaming laptops though. If you have this in power save mode and are using it for basic desktop applications, I think if I were to use this in college or for work. I would still need to worry about carrying around the electrical cord for a necessary mid day charge. I have had no issues playing modern gaming titles like apex legends. Call of Duty MW2, The Witcher, CYBERPUNK 2077 in 1080p. With AMD FSR enabled, 1440p at 90+ FPS is very obtainable in all games I have thrown at it. If this is a device you are thinking about buying as a present. I would recommend taking the person intended to use the laptop to test out the keyboard in person. Keyboards are subjective to the user. This keyboard is nothing special. Some people may hate it. Keep that in mind. Also, Dont expect much form the onboard audio.

The MSI Bravo 15 has a good performance for a mid-range gaming laptop. It can handle most modern games at 1080p resolution with high settings. The laptop also has a 144Hz display, which is ideal for fast-paced games with fast moving camera angles. It is a bit on the bulky side, but it is still fairly portable. It weighs 5.2 pounds and is 0.9 inches thick. This makes it a bit heavier than some other gaming laptops, but it is still light enough to be carried around in a backpack. Other goodies on the laptop includes an HDMI port, a USB-C port, two USB-A ports, and an audio jack. This makes it easy to connect the laptop to a variety of peripherals. It also has a backlit keyboard, which is helpful for gaming in low-light conditions. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, but it is a bit shallow for my taste, I am worried that in the future and all the abuse I am going to lay on this laptop the keys will stick. No signs of that now and I have played at least 30 hours of Mass Effect already so maybe it won't happen. I recommend this for an average PC gamer. I feel like the advance bunch might want more specs but this laptop gets the job done, highly recommended.

I have always liked the gaming laptops that MSI has produced in the past. The laptops always had a nice. futuristic look that just screamed “Gamer”. It may have placebo effect, but gamers who used them seemed like they had an advantage. I can’t say with the MSI Bravo 15.6” Gaming Laptop that your gaming will be better or that your KDR will increase, but I can say that you will look great while playing. As with previous MSI laptops, the look is unmistakable gaming. The casing is not at perfect 90-degree angles. With a slight angle here and there, it has an extra special look of style. The blue backlit keys on the keyboard just give a nice aesthetic look to the system. Even the font on the keys is designed to look futuristic. The direction keys are highlighted differently so that you can easily find them while gaming. The native system has a 1920 x 1080 Full HD display. The display is attractive, and the colors are rich. The refresh rate is 144 hertz which works great for gaming. I didn’t notice any real lag in gaming. The Radeon RX GPU works great in this setup. If you want to hook up to an additional monitor, the system does include an HMDI output. In addition, the system has outputs for 4 USB connections. There is even an included Ethernet jack built in so that you may have wired gaming for the best connections. When all these features come together, the real question is how it works in gaming. The MSI Bravo is not lacking in this department. The gameplay was smooth and enjoyable. Fortnite and Rocket League both were very smooth and not jumpy. Shooter games were easy to play. Even just using the laptop screen was great. I had no problems in this department. If there was a complaint with the system, I wish it had a bit more internal storage. While the SSD is great for speed, the 512 GB was not enough. The Windows 11 operating system takes up a portion of that too. If you do a lot of gaming, this storage can be taken up quickly. It would also be nice to have a 4k screen, but you have the option to hook up a monitor with the HDMI connection. In the end, I really enjoyed the MSI Bravo 15.6” Gaming Laptop. The gameplay was lively and looked great. The native storage was the only thing really keeping from giving it all 5 stars. I wanted to have more for my needs. I still highly recommend this gaming laptop for gamers. While the world class gamers may want more, this should work for many novice and casual gamers.
