Pros and Cons

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.
