The below GF63 Thin in particular seems like a good deal if wanting a balance between portability (1.86kg) and some decent gaming.

The below model has the same weight though an RTX 4050, a newer CPU and 16GB of RAM - may be a more future proof option for gaming.

There are other deals at the above MSI link too, valid at various retailers (Umart, Centre Com, Computer Alliance etc), these are the laptops that stood out to me.
Yes, can I have a e-waste grade laptop with 45w gpu wattage and a cooling solution that havent seen update in 5 years thank you.
Sure this is about a good 300 grams lighter than other budget laptops, and you also lose out huge on performance & cooling & dogshite screen as always and a single ssd slot. Thanks MSI for tricking clueless consumers with their low end range as always, putting in shoddy cooling solution that makes TUF dash and nitro 5 looks good in comparison.
No thanks I would save your money.
