The Bravo comes standard with a 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD, and the same is true for the Bravo 17, but it also includes a 1TB HDD.
Like other recently released MSI laptops, the Bravo series makes use Cooler Boost 5 technology, which features a total of two fans and a six heat pipes to expel heat out of the system. The cooling hardware is complemented by Dragon Center software to optimize gaming performance (via Gaming Mode 2.0). The Bravo laptops include backlit keyboards, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 6, USB 3.2 Type-C, dual 2W speakers, a 720p webcam, and a 3-cell 51 WHr battery.
