As we enter February and our bank accounts begin to recover from the chaos of Christmas and the dry spell that is January, we're once again coming across some fantastic gaming laptop deals. One in particular that caught our eye was an MSI Sword 15.6-inch gaming laptop from Best Buy that has just seen its price drop drastically. 

As part of Best Buy's 'Deal of the Day' selection, this MSI Sword gaming laptop – which arrives with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and 1TB SSD – is currently available for $999.99 at Best Buy. It's still not commonplace to find a gaming laptop with these specs under a grand, so this is a great deal. More so because Best Buy slashed the cost from $1,349.99, representing a 25% discount or $350 saving.

This immediately struck us as one of the best cheap gaming laptop deals on the market right now. Not only because you are taking away a 1TB SSD and that RTX 3060 but because it's running on an Intel Core i7 processor along with Windows 11 and a free month of Xbox Game Pass thrown in for free. That's good value for money in our books.
