Folks, I hope you’re prepared for this one. If you’ve been shopping around for an affordable gaming laptop, you should thank your lucky stars. Best Buy’s selling the MSI Cyborg for just $749.99, which saves you a whopping $350. That’s an incredible price for a gaming laptop with an RTX 4060 GPU inside — systems like this normally go for four figures. Not only does it pack some serious graphics hardware, but it also has tons of connectivity options. What more could you ask for?
As for the other bits of hardware, the MSI Cyborg is rocking an Intel Core i7-12650H CPU, the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Given the components inside, you should be able to run most games on the High or Ultra graphics preset. The 15.6-inch display also has a resolution of 1920×1080 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. For connectivity options, you’re getting one HDMI 2.1, two USB-A 3.1, and one USB-C 3.1.
It’s well-reviewed on the Best Buy page too, with one reviewer saying it’s a fantastic value laptop with peppy performance — and the MSI Cyborg cost hundreds more when that was written.
Usually, spending $750 on a gaming laptop gets you a significantly weaker RTX 4050 inside. Snagging an RTX 4060-powered notebook for this ultra-low price is a ludicrously good and rarely seen deal. Get it now, friends!
