MSI makes some of the coolest and most powerful laptops on the market, and this MSI Pulse deal on Best Buy saves you some cash when buying one. The MSI Pulse is a very powerful gaming machine, meant for people who solely plan to game on a laptop. With the Pulse, you will get desktop-level performance on a portable computer, as well as some really stylish aesthetics.
What specs does this MSI Pulse deal get you?
The Pulse has a 15.6 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The processor is an Intel Core i-7 13620H, with 10 cores, 16 threads, and a max clock speed of 4.9 GHz. You also get a very welcome 32 GBs of DDR5 RAM, enough to run any intensive game or application, making this MSI Pulse deal even more enticing.
For storage you have a terabyte of NVMe solid state storage. Surprisingly, the MSI Pulse comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed instead of Windows 11 Home, which is what we usually see on laptops. Though it does have an HDMI port and a DisplayPort 1.4, there are no Thunderbolt ports on this laptop.
The webcam is only 720p, though, which feels weird for a laptop so powerful in other aspects. But then again, not many games require a webcam which is what the Pulse was built for, and the webcam is still perfectly serviceable. You do also get dual speakers, and the laptop weighs slightly more than normal laptops; at 5.07 lbs. or 2.29 kilos. And, of course, the keyboard is a backlit one, with a very unique sharp design.
The MSI Pulse excels at gaming
The crème de la crème of this MSI Pulse deal is the Nvidia RTX 4070. An absolute powerhouse with 8 Gigabytes of GDDR6 VRAM goodness. The 4070 is one of the most powerful laptop GPUs in the world currently, and will run anything you throw at it with ease. Almost any modern title you can think of runs at over 60 frames a second at 1080p resolution on Ultra settings.
The MSI Pulse, usually selling for $1,699.99, is currently $116 off and priced at $1,583.99 on Best Buy. Not the biggest discount we’ve ever seen, but every cent counts.
