If you’re looking to pick up a powerful gaming laptop at a great price point, you’re in luck. Best Buy’s selling the MSI Crosshair Gaming Laptop for $1,099.99, which is a whopping $300 off of the original price. This machine is packing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, which is pretty darn powerful, especially for this killer price. It also has a backlit keyboard as well as a high refresh rate display. Let’s pivot for a second and really dive in to what’s going on underneath the hood.
The MSI Crosshair features an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. That’s an ample amount of power right there. You should have no problem running most modern games on the Ultra graphics preset, and you can push frame rates even higher in games that support Nvidia’s vaunted DLSS upscaling technology. The 16-inch display has a resolution of 1920×1200 and a refresh rate of 144hz. That means you can expect buttery smooth gameplay, which is important when you’re in the middle of an intense match.
This is a fantastic deal, so I’d recommend you swoop in sooner rather than later.
