MSI GF65 15.6" Thin 10UE Black 2021
The RTX 3060 with 8GB VRAM and a 144Hz 1080p IPS display make this a capable gaming laptop for its weight of 1.90kg and 0.9-inch thin profile. The 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor and 512GB SSD provide solid everyday performance, though 8GB of RAM may limit multitasking in heavier titles. This machine is best for a budget-conscious gamer who wants ray tracing and a high refresh rate screen in a portable chassis without spending on extra memory or storage.
