Amazon is offering the MSI GE66 Raider Gaming Laptop with i7/16GB/1TB/RTX 3070 for $1,699 shipped. Normally $2,299, it’s gone for around $1,899 for the past few weeks and today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked at $600 off. While most sub-$2,000 laptops generally have 1080p displays, the MSI GE66 Raider not only takes it to the next level with 1440p, but also clocks in at a 240Hz refresh rate. This pairs perfectly with the 11th Generation i7 processor and RTX 3070 graphics card, which deliver ample performance for pushing the 1440p display at a full 240Hz in most games. For comparison, on my desktop with an RTX 3060, I can run most titles at 1440p 144Hz or better on high settings. Take a deeper dive in our announcement coverage. Keep reading for more details.
If you need a desktop over a laptop, then consider instead picking up the SkyTech Shadow 3.0 Gaming Desktop while it’s available for $1,300 on Amazon once you clip the on-page coupon. Sure, it doesn’t come with a built-in 1440p 240Hz display, and it’s an RTX 3060 instead of a 3070. But, desktops are far more upgradable as you grow in gaming, making it a more versatile purchase overall.

Right now, you can pick up HyperX’s Cloud Alpha S gaming headset at new low of $64 while ASUS’ Claymore II Wireless Modular Keyboard is on sale for $220, which is a full $50 below its normal going rate.
