Walmart just dropped a gaming laptop with an RTX 5070 Ti for $1,299 – the lowest price I’ve seen yet

Move over Black Friday, it seems the last-minute pre-Christmas sales are the new highlight for gaming laptop deals – at Walmart, at least. The retailer is currently offering an MSI Vector with an RTX 5070 Ti for just $1,299 (was $1,999), which is easily the lowest price I’ve seen yet for a machine with this powerful high-end graphics card.

Not only is this a great price to pay for a gaming laptop with this GPU, but this particular MSI machine also features a Ryzen 9 chipset and 240Hz display, meaning it has decent specs to back up the RTX 5070 Ti. In short, you shouldn’t have any issues playing even the most demanding of titles smoothly.

It’s not all gold, as you only get 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, but I wouldn’t say those majorly offset the value of this machine with its massive $700 price cut. Even with RAM prices absurdly high, you get good bang for the buck here. A bigger storage drive shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you’re happy to do a little DIY, either.

If the above deal is a little too pricey for your liking, then note that Walmart has plenty more gaming laptop deals this week – including much cheaper machines. If you’re interested, you can check out a few more highlights from the retailer below.
