A dedicated GPU spells the difference between a laptop made for gaming and a regular laptop giving you frustrating results. Even the most “casual” of games benefit from a GPU, as do creative tasks like photo and video editing. So if you find yourself engaging in any of the above, take a look at this budget gaming laptop that delivers a decent gaming experience for cheap.
Don’t be fooled by the name: The MSI Thin weighs in at around 4 pounds, meaning it won’t be the most convenient for gaming on the go. That aside, the specs for this one are capable of 1080p gaming at medium to high settings. Those with a lot of game captures and/or a large library may want to buy more storage so they can keep all their important files on-hand without having to pick and choose.
And if you need more power under the hood, we have recommendations for that as well. Check out our Best Gaming Laptops roundup for more midrange and high-end configurations that will take your gaming to the next level.
