The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i offers a premium experience with a high-resolution Mini LED display, superior color accuracy, and a sleek design, making it ideal for creative professionals and those who prioritize display quality and portability. It's also well-suited for general use and engineering tasks with its powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and ample RAM. However, it commands a higher price and may not be the best choice for intensive gaming despite its capable Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, as it lacks the dedicated gaming features found in other laptops. On the other hand, the MSI Bravo 15 is a more budget-friendly option with a focus on gaming. It features a lower-resolution but faster refresh rate IPS display, which is beneficial for smoother gameplay. The AMD Ryzen 5 processor and the same Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU as the Lenovo make it suitable for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. Its build is more utilitarian, and while it doesn't excel in portability or battery life, it offers robust performance for its price point. In summary, if you value a superior display, portability, and a high-quality build for general use and light engineering tasks, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is the way to go. However, if gaming is your priority and you're looking for the best performance at a lower cost, the MSI Bravo 15 is the better choice, despite some compromises on display quality and battery life.

Nikolay Palaozov | July 2023
"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."
