MSI’s Alpha 15 gaming laptop is $100 off at Newegg with an additional $100 rebate bringing the total price down from the usual $999 to $799.
The model on sales features 8GB of RAM and a 120 Hz display, but Newegg is also selling the computer’s 16GB/144 Hz model for $100 off right now as well, although the rebate no longer applies. Still, buying an MSI Alpha 15 laptop for $799 will net you an AMD Ryzen 7 3750H and an AMD Radeon RX 5500M at a price point well below the best gaming laptops and many others.
MSI Alpha 15: was $999, now $799 at Newegg
The MSI Alpha 15 is a mid-range, all-AMD laptop that puts a primary focus on comfort and affordability. Its high frame rate display offers bright colors, and its SteelSeries keyboard is clicky and bouncy, as per our MSI Alpha 15 review . While performance is decidedly mid-range, a mig-range laptop for $799 is nonetheless impressive.
Our MSI Alpha 15 review also praised the machine's colorful display and comfortable keyboard, while acknowledging that “If you’re an AMD-only type user, this is for you. There’s nothing else like it in the space.” While performance was mid-range for its then-$1,099 price tag, that same power for $799 is tempting.
MSI recently announced the follow-up to the Alpha 15, the Bravo 15 , which is also available for pre-order on Newegg right now with a release window set for early next month. The Bravo updates the CPU and design, but the Alpha still keeps up in every other field spec-wise
