Why you should buy the MSI Cyborg 14-inch gaming laptop

MSI isn’t in our look at the best gaming laptop brands, but it’s a reliable brand for budget gamers. With the MSI Cyborg 14-inch gaming laptop you get a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13620H processor paired up with 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage, so the core essentials are here.

For the graphics card, you get an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of dedicated VRAM, so it’s perfect for playing all the latest games. Its screen is smaller than some competitors, but it’s a good. It’s 14 inches of HD+ display with 144Hz refresh rate, so it’s ideal for fast-moving action with no risk of motion blur.

The MSI Cyborg 14-inch gaming laptop isn’t as powerful as the best gaming laptops, but there’s a lot to love here. It has a cool looking blue backlit keyboard with anti-ghost keys in an 83-key layout. It also has all the necessary ports: USB 3.2, HDMI, and an ethernet port. It also supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 so you’re all set for stability and reliability.

Overall, the MSI Cyborg 14-inch gaming laptop is a good laptop choice for anyone who wants to game on the move without spending a lot of cash. It’s also more portable than much of the competition thanks to that slightly smaller screen. You can always hook it up to a TV or monitor if you need more screen real estate.

The MSI Cyborg 14-inch gaming laptop normally costs $1,100, which is pretty good value anyhow, but it’s even cheaper at the moment at Best Buy. Down to $900, this deal won’t be around for long given what it has to offer. Take a look for yourself by tapping the button below.

Forget campus recruiting, china's biggest tech firms are betting on teenage coders.

A 13-year-old boy in Hangzhou has already won national AI competitions and built a following of more than 136,000 people online, all while his dad tries to figure out how to guide him through a field that barely existed when he himself was growing up. That family's situation, first reported by Rest of World, says a lot about where China's tech industry is heading right now.

Companies used to wait for graduates to walk through the door. Now they're reaching further back, first to undergrads, and increasingly to teenagers, hoping to spot rare talent before anyone else gets to them.
