MSI’s 4-core i5 + GTX 1650 Prestige 14 laptop is perfect for mobile gaming at $1,000 (Save $200)

$200 off/$1,000

Newegg is offering the MSI Prestige 14 1.6GHz i5/16GB/512GB for $999.99 shipped. Matched by select third-party retailers like Adorama at Amazon, though stock is dwindling there. For comparison, it normally goes for $1,200 direct and $1,180 at B&H, with today’s discount marking one of the best prices that we’ve tracked. This laptop is perfect for a multitude of tasks, thanks to its powerful specs. You’ll find a 4-core 8-thread i5 processor here capable of tearing through most mid- to heavy-weight tasks. Plus, the built-in GTX 1650 Max-Q graphics card also allows you to enjoy light gaming, streaming, or video/photo editing as well. It also ships with Windows 10 Pro out of the box, instead of just Windows 10 Home, giving you professional features like Remote Desktop and more. Plus, with a Thunderbolt 3 port, you can charge, use an external display, and handle multiple I/O jobs from a single cable, similar to how I have my desk set up. Rated 4/5 stars.

Put some of your savings towards Anker’s USB-C hub. It costs $26.50 on Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon, which is a great deal overall. You’ll find both SD and microSD, USB 3.0 Type-A, 4K HDMI, and USB-C charging input here, bringing back quite a few missing and extra ports to your new laptop. It’s a must-have, and since the Prestige 14 features USB-C and Thunderbolt 3, it’ll work seamlessly.

Don’t forget that HP’s 2020 Chromebook is down to a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. Right now, you can pick one up for $169, which it normally $220. Sure, a Chromebook doesn’t have i5 processing power or the GTX 1650, but it’s the perfect tool for answering emails, checking Facebook, and watching YouTube.
