Longstanding market leaders in terms of performance, Intel and Nvidia are increasingly experiencing pricing pressure. This is the "fault" of devices such as the MSI Bravo 15, which we have tested in its configuration with a Ryzen 7 4800H and a Radeon RX 5300M.

Although we were really excited during the tests of the Radeon RX 5300M, there was something that constantly put us off. Can you guess? Yep, the drivers. Every once and a while, and especially in the two Tomb Raider titles (the Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and the Rise of the Tomb Raider), an error popped up, explaining that our drivers have crashed. Unfortunately, this was the latest driver, downloaded from AMD’s page, and considering that this GPU isn’t exactly new, such issues should have been long fixed.

Bravo, all right! MSI's Bravo 15 (starts at $929; $999 as tested) is an all-AMD-powered gaming notebook and the successor of the Alpha 15. This time around, it more than compensates for its predecessor's lack of CPU grunt with a new "Renoir" Ryzen 4000 series chip, which is head and shoulders faster than comparable Intel silicon you'll find in laptops in this price range. Although the Bravo 15 falls a touch short in overall gaming performance next to notebooks packing Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, its strong CPU, ample memory, good-size dollop of storage, and a high-refresh AMD FreeSync display make it an excellent value at or just below the four-figure mark, where you'd be hard-pressed to find a GTX 1660 Ti-based notebook equipped the same.

At $900, the MSI Bravo 15 is a capable little machine. It’s competent rather than impressive, and workmanlike rather than innovative. But it plays games at respectable frame rates and runs productivity software for more than six hours on a single charge. It’s small enough to stash in a backpack comfortably, and the numpad on the keyboard is a nice touch. If you need high-end performance, you’ll have to dig deep for Razer Blade money. It’s also worth considering that the Bravo 15 is pushing its limits to run the latest and greatest games at 30 fps, which means it may not be the most future-proof system on the market. But it’s not often that you can find a gaming laptop with so few compromises for less than $1,000. If you’re a Sam’s Club member already, you may as well put that membership to good use.

It's acceptable that budget gaming laptops aren't going to give you the best graphics. However, you'll still want to avoid certain models due to an aging GPU with poor performance relative to most others in its price category.
