MSI is no stranger to adaptability and like parents who are always running late, Back-to-School time is rapidly approaching, luckily for students and parents MSI has your back with huge savings on signature laptops.
One of the most difficult times of the year is going back to school. Whether going to a new school, joining a new homeroom filled with unfamiliar faces, or even attending new classes in university, change can be drastically unsettling. This is where MSI can help fill in the empty lines between struggling to get reacquainted, while also having something new yet familiar to help with the ‘start of the new school year’ struggles.
Thankfully, when it comes to obtaining a new gaming laptop that checks all the boxes MSI makes it simple, so struggles can be had elsewhere during the back-to-school season. Like picking your first Pokémon from Professor Oak, MSI has loaded the front lines with three heavy hitting options to ease students (or parents/teachers) back-to-school with hardware that’s reliable.
MSI Back-to-School Laptop Deals
MSI Vector GP66
Coming in hot as the first portable option is the worthy Vector GP66. The sleek core black colourway will make any aspiring student or teacher knock first impressions right out of the park. With the new Vector GP66, comes the still new and reliable Windows 11 OS pre-installed. The 15.6” FHD anti-glare display is nothing to scoff at either, with a reliable 240Hz refresh rate to assure no framerate issues. A built-in SteelSeries RGB keyboard signs the package with a necessary flourish, covering all bases on a complete device.

MSI Katana GF66
The next PC MSI is offering at a reduced rate for Back-to-School needs is the Katana GF66.

Sporting a 15.6” FHD display & 144Hz refresh rate allows the user to go Back-to-School sharper at a more affordable price. It’s worth mentioning while this PC is missing the RGB keyboard, it still has all of the essentials when it comes to computer necessities.

With the ports and power of a high-end gaming laptop, the Crosshair 15 will assure K/D and GPA are indeed mutually exclusive.
