MSI Announces Bravo 15 and Bravo 17 Notebooks with 4800H and RX 5500M

MSI announced its Bravo 15 and Bravo 17 Full HD gaming notebooks manned by an all-AMD crew. The two offer Full HD displays with 120 Hz refresh-rates, made of "IPS-level" panels (very likely AHVA). The Bravo 15 features 15.6-inch panel size, while its sibling is a 17.3-incher.

Under the hood, both notebooks pack an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (8-core/16-thread) "Renoir" processor, Radeon RX 5500M discrete graphics, AMD SmartShift technology (load balancing between the iGPU and dGPU), and 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory. The Bravo 15 packs a 512 GB NVMe SSD, while the Bravo 17 gives you a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD in addition to the same SSD. Two each of USB 3.2 type-C and type-A ports add to their connectivity. The Bravo 15 starts at USD $929, and the Bravo 17 at $1,099.

Other specs and case resemble the GF line.
GF65 with 1660Ti are available for $900-1000, which probably makes Bravo 15 a collector's item...

In another topicwe've seen some strong opinions about pairing high-end CPUs with weak GPUs.
@Berfs1 what do you think about this one? :)

IPS branding is owned by LG & if hardware unboxed is to be believed they've aggressively tried to enforce the trademark ~ so basically IPS= more expensive!

Great CPU, but the GPU its paired with is nothing to write home about as it barely reaches GTX 1060 Max-Q (configured to 80W) performance. I'm hoping 5600M or 5700M can come sooner.
