Here’s a bargain for those of you who, like myself, still prefer a larger 17.3-inch form factor gaming laptop. It’s easier on my eyes, and with the focus on thinner and light designs, they’re no longer these huge, hulking beasts. Check that, MSI’s GL75 Leopard, as configured here, is a bit of a beast (just not hulking). And it’s marked down several hundred bucks right now.Normally priced at $1,499, it’s on sale at Newegg for $1,299 on the nose. That’s a good price for the hardware (more on that in a moment), but you can do better. As in, apply promo code 84LCFHD276 at checkout to shave $100 off the already-discounted sticker price, then fill out MSI’s rebate form to claim another $100. That brings the total cost down to $1,099.Deeply Discounted Gaming LaptopMSI GL75 Leopard | 17.3-inch | Intel i7 | RTX 2070 | $1,499 $1,099 at Newegg after rebate (save $400)You don’t often find a laptop with a GeForce RTX 2070 at this price point, yet here it is, surrounding by a fast CPU and a decent amount of RAM and storage.
