Best Buy’s most recent sale has yielded some superb gaming laptop deals – so many, in fact, that I’m having trouble deciding which is the best right now.
There are two deals in particular that have caught my eye – this MSI Stealth 14 for $999 (was $1,499) and this Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $1,049 (was $1,599).
Both of these gaming laptops are at least $500 off right now, feature speedy RTX 4060 graphics cards, and come in bag-friendly 14-inch form factors. Put simply, they’re both fantastic choices if you’re looking for a sleek machine that won’t weigh you down too much.
Which is best? Well, it’s close – first, let’s take a look at each model in full, including the components each one is featuring:

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