Best Buy is slashing $400 off the MSI Sword gaming laptop. It sports an attractive design and solid specs at a reasonable price. It features a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz LCD, Core i7-12650H CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 3070Ti GPU. You also get a 1-month Xbox GamePass trial for free.

Underneath the attractive chassis, you'll find an Intel Core i7-12650H CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 3070Ti GPU.

And when you're on the move, this machine won't slow you down as it weighs less than five pounds and is the perfect size to sling into a backpack. Though keep in mind, you'll definitely need your charger as gaming laptops aren't generally known for impressove battery life.
