Deal | RTX 4060 gaming laptop for $649: MSI Thin 15 becomes a budget gaming bargain thanks to 35% discount

In the current market, where the increased cost of GPUs has made it hard to build a decent gaming PC on a budget, gaming laptops are looking quite appealing. For starters, buying a gaming laptop gets you everything you need to start gaming, as there is no need to invest in peripherals and a monitor. Additionally, gaming laptops depreciate quite a bit over the months. This depreciation results in massive discounts, making them suitable options for gamers who don’t have a lot of money to spend.

This is exactly what has happened to the MSI Thin 15 B13VF, an RTX 4060-powered gaming laptop that is now on sale at Walmart at a huge $350.99 discount (linked at the end). The laptop is retailing at a final price of $649, which is $50 lower than a deal from last month.

Looking at the hardware, the MSI Thin 15 rocks a Core i5-13420H CPU with 8 cores/12 threads, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz memory, 512 GB of storage, and a 15.6-inch 144 Hz IPS display. The storage and RAM are both upgradable. There is also Wi-Fi 6 and BT 5.3 under the hood. The entire system runs on a 52.4 Wh battery that comes paired with a 120 W power adapter.

The most important caveat to keep in mind is that the RTX 4060 laptop GPU inside the MSI Thin 15 is limited to 45 W versus up to 115 W on beefier laptops.

However, even with just a 45 W TDP, the RTX 4060 laptop is still quite a capable GPU for FHD gaming. Lighter games and eSports titles can be run at high refresh rates, while more demanding AAA titles might require DLSS to hit 60 FPS with maximum settings.

Finally, the MSI Thin 15 also brings a good port selection with:

• Three Type-A ports
• One Type-C port with DP 1.4
• One HDMI output on the back
• Separate 3.5 mm audio and mic outputs
• An RJ45 Ethernet jack

Simply put, if you are on a super tight budget and want a decently powerful gaming laptop, you won’t find many, if any, better alternatives to the MSI Thin 15 on sale.
