If portability and battery life are critical for you, the Lenovo Yoga 6 would be the better choice as it's lighter and has a longer battery life. It also offers a touch screen with a higher screen resolution, which is beneficial for general use and some engineering applications. However, if you need higher performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the MSI Bravo 15, with its dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card, would provide significantly more power. This performance comes at the cost of portability and battery life, as the MSI Bravo 15 is heavier and does not last as long on a single charge. Both laptops are priced similarly, so your decision should be based on the importance of portability versus performance for your specific needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and MSI Bravo 15 are both good for general use, though the Lenovo Yoga 6 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is favored for general use because it has a more powerful CPU, double the RAM for multitasking, a higher resolution touchscreen with better color coverage for a clearer and more vibrant display, and a longer battery life for extended use without charging. In contrast, the MSI Bravo 15 has a lesser CPU and half the RAM, which may affect performance, and while it has a larger screen, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, which affects portability and usability on the go.

The MSI Bravo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair.
The MSI Bravo 15 offers better performance for gaming and 3D applications as it features a more powerful Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and a higher screen refresh rate of 144Hz compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6's integrated Vega 8 GPU and 60Hz screen. While the Lenovo Yoga 6 provides adequate capabilities for light gaming, the MSI has the advantage, especially for fast-paced applications where the smoother visuals provided by a higher refresh rate are essential.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the MSI Bravo 15 for engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the MSI Bravo 15 has a better screen for general use, and gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers adequate brightness and resolution suitable for everyday tasks, but its moderate color gamut falls short for precision tasks in engineering and its lower refresh rate hampers gaming and 3D quality. The MSI Bravo 15's superior refresh rate enhances gameplay, yet for engineering and design, its color accuracy may not meet professional standards, despite being satisfactory for general activities. Both laptops' displays, while serviceable for day-to-day use, might disappoint users with high expectations for gaming or professional color work.

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."

"Overall, the MSI Bravo 15 C7U is a great gaming device for the masses that isn’t too pricey. The capable hardware (for the price range), the 144Hz display, and the comfortable keyboard are one of the things that should attract buyers who don’t want to spend a fortune on a new gaming laptop."
