Gaming PCs are often big and bulky, but they don't need to be. MSI's Trident line of gaming desktops strive for sleek, small designs closer to the size of a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. MSI's Trident series is still noticeably larger than both consoles, coming in at 15 inches wide and long, but if you're looking for a PC that you can keep out of the way or put under your TV, then they're excellent options. The MSI Trident A Plus gaming PC is $1,499, down from its regular price of $1,599. This deal was previously set at $1,469 and was only valid for a day, but it seems the gaming PC has only raised its price by $30, so if you're interested, you're not losing out on too big of a discount. It also comes with free shipping and an estimated delivery between May 1-6.

The console-sized gaming PC comes equipped with an i7-9700F processor, an RTX 2070 Super, 16GB RAM, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD--the latter makes for ultra-fast loading for games and applications. This particular Trident A Plus is more than capable of running the majority of modern games at high settings with great performance--and it has some long legs on it as well.

You can expect excellent performance out of this PC for quite a few years without the need to upgrade, but if you'd like to add more storage space, RAM, or even upgrade certain components, the Trident A Plus makes it easy. It comes with a tempered-glass side panel that can replace the metal one that's attached to the PC. This glass panel can be opened like a door, making it easy to upgrade or add parts.

Newegg also has a great budget gaming laptop available for a slight discount right now. An Asus Tuf gaming laptop equipped with a GTX 1650 is currently $800, down from $850. Like the Trident A Plus, the discount is only available today, but it does come with free shipping and the same estimated delivery date.
