MSI Bravo 17

Seven years ago, I invested in a Samsung laptop worth around 16,000 for work and photo/video editing needs. It served me well until the fifth year when it started to slow down, freezing during video rendering and crashing frequently. A hard drive replacement with an SSD didn't fully resolve the issue, leading to frustrating experiences. I've recently upgraded to a new gaming laptop, but my trusty old one has left me with some expectations for its successor.

The Lenovo V17 Gen 2 is an affordable entry-level notebook that boasts a large display and impressive specs. With a sturdy plastic chassis, despite questionable build quality due to its thin profile and low weight, the laptop offers ample space for productivity and creation.

We'll delve into the device's performance, cooling system, battery life, and display quality in this review.
