Two new MSI gaming laptops have just been announced: the Bravo 15 and Bravo 17. Powered by AMD Ryzen mobile processors and Radeon video cards, both systems start at just around US$1000.
“Building on the success of our Alpha 15, the world’s first 7nm gaming laptop, we dedicated ourselves in researching and developing the best mid-range gaming laptop in the industry. Our popular Thunderbird logo inspired our Alpha and Bravo lines, and continues to drive everything we do. We successfully doubled the power efficiency of the Bravo series compared to its previous generation, delivering a high performing laptop consumers can rely on, at a competitive price.”
Andy Tung, President at MSI Computer Corp
The Bravo 15 and Bravo 17 are 15.6- and 17.3-inch gaming laptops respectively. They are powered by the latest AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series mobile processors and AMD Radeon RX 5500M graphic cards.
