Gaming laptops can get pretty expensive, especially ones with top-tier hardware and high resolution displays, but you can find some awesome bargains if you’ve got a keen eye. One fantastic example is this MSI Thin that’s down to $650 at Best Buy right now, a 28 percent discount from its $900 MSRP.
First things first — the MSI Thin features an Intel Core i5 processor and 16GB of RAM, which means you’ll have no issue loading up your apps and games in seconds. There’s even a 512GB SSD on board, so you’ll have plenty of room to store all your games, files, and photos. Even if you need more at some point, storage is pretty affordable these days, even if we’re talking about portable SSDs with 1 or 2 TB.
This laptop is ready to handle plenty of gaming thanks to the RTX 4050 graphics card on board. While this may not be the latest model around, it’s the best one you can get for such an affordable price point.
The MSI Thin has a 15.6-inch FHD display with an amazing 144Hz refresh rate, meaning it delivers clear and crisp images with vibrant colors and smooth visuals while gaming or watching movies.
At $650, this laptop is an absolute steal that you shouldn’t miss out on, especially with the holiday season fast approaching.
