MSI Cyborg 17.3" B2RW 2025, Core 7 240H, 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 5060, Translucent Black
The RTX 5060 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 and a 144Hz IPS display drive smooth 1080p gaming, while the Intel Core 7 240H processor handles multitasking across 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Its 17.3-inch screen and full-size RGB keyboard with numpad offer a spacious, customizable setup, though the 250-nit brightness and 45% NTSC color gamut limit visual punch. This laptop suits budget-conscious gamers who prioritize frame rates and screen size over color accuracy or portability.
