An RTX 4050-equipped MSI Thin GF63 gaming laptop, running Horizon Forbidden West.

Amazon UK, thosejerks, have the Thin GF63 all the way down from £1099 to £709. While exclusive to Prime members, that’s a seriously small pile o’ coin for an RTX laptop, which tend to average even higher than the Thin GF63’s pre-sale price. And you’re still getting good specs outside theGPU, from the display’s nippy 144Hz rate to the Intel Core i7-12650H. Wait, it’s got a Core i7-12650H? Oh cool, so the CPU is better than mine as well.

UK deals:

MSI Thin GF63 - £709 from Amazon UK (was £1099)

15.6in, 1920x1080, 144Hz, IPS display, Intel Core i7-12650H, RTX 4060, 512GB SSD

In terms of how the Thin GF63 is like to live with, you shouldn’t expect the masterpiece build quality of a top-end laptop, and it does get noisy when running demanding game fare. At the same time, it’s pleasantly svelte and light for a proper, dedicated-graphics gaming notebook, and you can always drown out that fan whir with a headset. You could certainly do a lot, lot worse for £709, in any event.

I’ve picked out a few other gaming laptop deals in our mainPrime Day hub, as well as our annualAnti-Prime Day guide– the latter sticks to non-Amazon retailers, so you can stock up on bargains without needing an Amazon Prime account.
