Gaming laptops aren't as expensive as they used to be, making it possible to pick up something good without hurting your wallet. The MSI Thin A15 is a perfect example, offering lots of power under the hood and priced right now at just $700. If you've been thinking about buying something with a dedicated graphics card on a budget, it might now be a good time to pick one up.

Thin, powerful, and priced right

When it comes to hardware, the MSI Thin A15 features an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS that is paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. There's also 512GB of SSD storage, and the good news is that both can be upgraded if you're willing to put in a little work.

The laptop also features a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz display and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics. With this setup, you should be able to play most AAA titles out there, but might need to make some adjustments to the graphics settings in order to get the smoothest frame rates.

This setup is also going to be great for those looking to use apps that are a bit more intensive, like photo or video editing software. The port selection on this laptop is pretty good as well, with two USB-C, three USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, and 3.5mm audio jacks for audio in and out.

While coming in at 0.85 inches thick, it does weigh a bit on the heavier side at 4.1 pounds. Overall, not a bad setup for $700. You're getting plenty of power and a price that's easy to afford. Newegg is taking $100 off the usual retail price for a limited time, so be sure to take advantage while you still can.
