Pros and Cons

Lenovo Legion Slim 7i

Strengths

This laptop has everything I could want in a laptop
The I9 13900H RTX 4070 provides great performance and battery life
Quiet mode with iGPU mode for great battery life
Color accurate and very bright display (almost 500 nits of screen brightness)
SD card reader, two USB type-c ports, a headphone jack, power adapter, three USB type A's, and an HDMI port
Fantastic aluminum chassis, assembled very well
Slim design that is not necessarily super light but still slim
Upgrade path available with 16 GB RAM (additional 16 GB stick can be added to the open slot)

Weaknesses

The 16 GB RAM bottlenecked system in Premiere Pro playback
Not impressive export times in Premiere Pro (2 minute and 29 second for 4K clip)
Export times for 6K were not satisfactory (368 drop frames)
Not ideal for heavy video editors requiring fast export times
No top-tier performance in Premiere Pro playback with just 16 GB RAM
Some components such as Photoshop and after effects require more RAM to reach their full potential
The laptop is not ideal for 6K video editing due to slow export times
The build quality, while excellent, has some plastic on the laptop's design

MSI Bravo 15

Strengths

This laptop has really nice build quality, with a decent screen that's perfect for gaming at 1080p and high refresh rate.
The AMD CPU performs well after a BIOS update, and runs very cool even in heavy gaming tasks.
The cooling solution is effective, with no throttling whatsoever on the CPU for temperatures.
The laptop has good battery life, with around 6 hours of idle time and 4.5 hours of 1080p YouTube playback.
The built-in webcam is actually pretty good, with good colors and saturation.
You get upgradeable RAM and storage, which is great value for the price.

Weaknesses

The screen doesn't have huge color space, but it's still bright and decent enough for gaming.
The fans are not silent, but they're also not annoying either.
There's no metal unibody, with an all-plastic chassis that's not the most premium feel.
You might need to pay more to get a laptop with a 4060 or better GPU.
Some people may expect more compromises at this price point, but they're actually pretty minimal here.
The battery life is decent, but not exceptional - you might get around 6 hours of idle time.
