One of today's Shell Shocker deals at Newegg is for a 15.6-inch MSI gaming laptop (GL62M 6RD-058) that pairs an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU for $799, down from $899. If you apply coupon code NAFCRPTF01, it brings the price down another $30 to $769.
This isn't the fastest laptop in the world, but for the price, it's a decent bargain for 1080p gaming on the go, which is the display's native resolution.
The laptop comes with 8GB of DDR4-2400 memory. For storage chores, MSI pairs a 128GB SSD with a 1TB HDD.
On the connectivity side, it has a pair of USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.0 Type-C port, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI and mini DisplayPort outputs, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0.
Other features include a 720p HD webcam, SD card reader, four built-in 2W speakers, a headset amp, and a SteelSeries keyboard (no backlight).
The sale is good for today only. You can find the laptop here.
If you have a little more to spend, you can select the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti option, which bumps the price up to $898.

Paul has been playing PC games and raking his knuckles on computer hardware since the Commodore 64. He does not have any tattoos, but thinks it would be cool to get one that reads LOAD"*",8,1. In his off time, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only one of those is true).
