It’s not every day that we get to find fantastic laptop deals, but this one may be the best one we’ll see before the year ends. This MSI Katana 15 with an impressive configuration is down $400 right now at Best Buy, making it available for $1,100 rather than its usual $1,500.

So what makes this laptop a unicorn find? Well, first of all, it comes with a Ryzen 9 CPU and 16GB of RAM. Sure, we’d love to see a bit more RAM on this machine, but that’s about the max you’ll see at this price point. Worry not, however, because you can upgrade to a max 64GB DDR5, which will turn this laptop into a rocket.

The MSI Katana is also gaming-ready, thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. This is not the top graphics card you can buy right now, but it’s definitely the best one you can get without paying an arm and a leg on a laptop. The 15.6″ 1080p display with a 144Hz refresh rate will also help deliver vibrant colors, great contrast, and a smooth viewing experience no matter what you’re playing.

There’s also plenty of storage space since the laptop has a 1TB SSD on board, which is enough for games, apps, and whatever files you want to keep.

So, if you want to score an amazing gaming laptop deal before the year ends, this MSI Katana with a Ryzen 9 and RTX 4070 is the one to get for $1,100 at Best Buy.

$400 off a laptop sounds perfect
