Here are the MSI Laptop Must-Haves this Back-To-School Season!

Now is the perfect time to score or upgrade to an MSI Laptop as the world-leading tech brand holds its Back to School event in line with their 20th Anniversary. This event, running from August 1 to September 30, 2024 is packed with price drops and gift bundles to delight all potential buyers.

In this day and age, a digital companion is as much a need as it is a want. Staying connected, entertained, and productive are important factors of a student’s daily life and an MSI laptop is a perfect investment for this. Here is a quick buying guide to get the most out of this limited-time campaign.

It’s not just one of the most powerful gaming handhelds in the market, the MSI Claw is also perfectly capable of assisting students with their learning needs. Powered by Windows, it can easily be used as a mini-PC when docked and paired with the right peripherals.

The top-end Claw A1M-077PH is powered by the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H with built-in Intel® Arc™ Graphics and an SSD storage of 1TB. Built mainly for gaming, this beastly configuration can easily handle most of the student workloads and applications.

Not only is it space-efficient with its handheld form-factor, but it can easily be expandable with its Thunderbolt™ 4 slot. With the right dock such as the MSI Nest, you can plug in all the peripherals you need to work comfortably.

For this Back to School event, this version of the Claw is made even more affordable with a price drop of P6,000, bringing the price from P53,995 to P47,995.

The more modest Claw A1M-076PH gets a price drop as well from P50,996 to 42,995. This model retains the same Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor 155H but swaps the 1TB SSD with a 512GB one. Aside from that, the other specifications are the same.

For the best deal on this handheld, the base version Claw A1M-075PH is one of the most attractive deals right now. This configuration is powered by an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 processor 135H and has a 512GB SSD, still very capable for most learning applications. Get this premium gaming and learning device at its lowest market price of P34,995, down from P45,995.

For the perfect balance of performance and portability, a laptop is still the best form factor and undeniably the most-used by students. MSI offers a wide range of laptops from Desktop-replacements to ultra-thin Business & Productivity notebooks.

One of the highlights of the Back to School offer is making these great devices more affordable for the customer. Consider the GF63 Thin 11UCX-1479PH. With an Intel® Core™ i5-11260H and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2050 4GB GDDR6 Laptop GPU, it can handle most games on medium to high graphics especially when paired with its 15.6” FHD 144Hz Panel.

This is the best budget gaming laptop you can get in this event. Get it at its lowest-ever price at only P29,495, down from P42,995.

For even more affordable devices, we look at the Modern 14 C11M-080PH, 219PH, and 220PH. These are the aforementioned Business & Productivity laptops from MSI. They are targeted at students who want maximum portability and battery life.

These ultra-thin and ultra-light notebooks are powered by an Intel® Core™ i3-1115G4 Processor and Intel® UHD Graphics. These are good for light gaming, but they shine the most at productivity apps that students and young professionals use.

These are the perfect companions for studying at a coffee shop or lounging around with Netflix. These are down from P26,995 to only P20,995. Get these beautiful laptops in three different colorways: Beige Rose (220PH), Classic Black (080PH), and Urban Silver (219PH).

One of the sleekest looking laptops from MSI is its Cyborg 15 series. Our recommendation is the Cyborg 15 A12UCX-1298PH. This laptop is powered by an Intel® Core™ i5-12450H and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2050 4GB GDDR6 Laptop GPU.

The biggest draw of this series is the translucent chassis, giving it a very cyberpunk aesthetic that is unique and eye-catching. Be ready to catch the attention of your peers when you bring out this laptop inside your classroom. To complete the look is its bright Blue Backlit Gaming Keyboard with specially lit WASD keys.

Get this intricately detailed laptop at only P37,995, down from P40,995, plus a Mouse and Mousepad bundle worth P2,000.

And highlighting the best bang-for-your-buck during this deal is the Stealth 15 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport A13VG-403PH with a whopping P70,995 worth of savings.

Brought about by the collaboration of two brands on the pinnacle of innovation, MSI and Mercedes-AMG, this powerhouse delivers great performance without sacrificing any portability with its use of Magnesium-Aluminum alloy chassis. This makes the laptop very sturdy and light at the same time.

Luxury is the name of the game and this model doesn’t cut any corners when providing the ideal gaming experience. Powered by an Intel® Core™ i9-13900H Processor and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070GB GDDR6 Laptop GPU, it can play the latest triple-A games with ease.

It is packed with 32GB (16GB*2) of RAM and 2TB of NVMe SSD Gen4x4 storage. A 16” UHD+ OLED Panel delivers crisp graphics and the Per-Key RGB SteelSeries Gaming Keyboard ensures maximum customization. No compromises were made in this laptop.

As an added bonus, this purchase includes limited edition accessories only available for the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport model. Get P18,000 worth of freebies including an AMG Pouch, Gaming Mouse, Mousepad, Cable Tie, Postcards, and USB Drive.

Get this one of a kind model at the biggest price drop from P209,995 to P139,995.
