Things sure have been quiet on the gaming laptop deals front in the new year, but that looks to change this week with Best Buy's first big sales event of 2021.
Starting with this $300 discount on the 15.6-inch MSI GF65 for just $899.99, Best Buy's gaming laptop deals are looking to save you big bucks if your sights are set on a machine with an RTX graphics card specifically.
This particular spec also features a 512GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i7-9750H - an older processor, but one that's still capable of putting out great framerates on modern games at 1080p. Subsequently, this one's a good choice if you're looking for a fast machine but don't quite want to fork out the $1,000+ that most machines with this kind of spec fetch.
Update: Even though this article was originally published over the weekend, this fantastic gaming laptop deal is still available as of writing. If the above is also out of your price range, it's also been joined by this slightly more mid-range 15.6-inch MSI GF65 for $799 - also at Best Buy currently.
A $200 price cut on this second gaming laptop deal isn't quite as good as the more premium spec above, but considering this machine still has an Intel Core i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and GTX 1660 Ti, it's still a great option. The graphics card on this spec is definitely a downgrade, though if you're more of a casual gamer it might be worth it for you to pocket the extra $100 you'll save with this particular machine over the other MSI.
