Best Buy’s latest sale has yielded some fantastic deals on gaming laptops – so many in fact that I’m having a hard time deciding which one is the best right now.
There are two deals in particular that caught my attention: this MSI Stealth 14 for $999 (was $1,499) and this Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $1,049 (was $1,599).
Both gaming laptops are currently discounted by at least $500, feature fast RTX 4060 graphics cards, and come in bag-friendly 14-inch form factors. Simply put, they’re both fantastic choices if you’re looking for a sleek machine that won’t weigh you down.
Which is the best? Well, it’s almost time: first, let’s take a full look at each model, including the components each model contains:

Which is the better buy right now?
So we have two gaming laptop deals here at record low Black Friday-level prices. Of the two, I’d say the Asus has the more stacked set of specs with its Ryzen 9 chipset and 1440p display, but the MSI does have the advantage of a 1TB SSD right out of the box. The 512GB SSD on the Asus may be sufficient, but you’ll probably want to upgrade later if you plan to install a large library of games at once. If you’re happy with upgrading the SSD (a very simple install) then the Asus could be a great all-round option for you.
That said, both laptops will perform similarly in most games thanks to the RTX 4060 graphics card, a respectable GPU for 1080p gaming; depending on the game you can also get decent performance at 1440p – although only the Asus screen supports this higher resolution.
