Gaming laptops are typically thick and heavy, but MSI bucks the trend here with a laptop that weighs 1.7kg and sits 1.6cm deep. It packs in an Intel Core i7 chip, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics unit, and enough ports to plug in memory cards, extra monitors, headsets and microphones. Being smaller, it can get warm during demanding games, but this is an uncommonly handy platform.
