MSI is responsible for many of our favorite gaming laptops, monitors, and other accessories, as the brand typically produces high-quality gear with reasonable price tags. This specific laptop is usually a bit pricey at $900, but now that it's listed for just under $600, it's an easy recommendation for anyone seeking an entry-level laptop for gaming. The RTX 4050 isn't the most powerful GPU on the market, but it'll run less-demanding titles with ease, along with newer releases at low settings.

Beyond its GPU, the laptop features an Intel Core i5-13420H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 512GB SSD. The whole thing clocks in at just over four pounds, so you should have no problem tossing it in a backpack and lugging it around the office or campus. Internet connections should be smooth thanks to Wi-Fi 6E support, and even though you can customize its appearance with all sorts of RGB lights, the laptop is relatively muted compared to other gaming rigs, thanks to an all-black design and understated MSI logo.
